Solution

Why would you want to send to random users? That doesn't make any sense - surely you'd invite the people you think will like the game?!

Confusion aside, to answer your question, the 'to' parameter is either an array, or a comma seperated list of user IDs.

Here's an example of CSV, taken from the documentation:

function sendRequestToRecipients() {
  FB.ui({method: 'apprequests',
    message: 'My Great Request',
    to: '499802820,499802852'
  }, requestCallback);
}
