Gameplay on mobile devices has exploded in the past 10 years, initially catalyzed by Apple’s iPhone and their integrated App Store. Today there are over 2.2 million mobile apps in the App Store alone and approximately 800,000 of these are for gaming, according to Mediakix.
RewardMob is a mobile eSports platform and loyalty program that integrates blockchain technology and creates an all-in-one solution for game developers, players and advertising companies to prosper in a decentralized ecosystem. Their goal is to make the RewardMob Token the standard in mobile game currency. They have seized the opportunity to create an amateur eSports Gaming Experience, developing massive Pay-to-Play multiplayer mobile tournaments.
Main features
- Offers a tournament-based rewards platform which transforms new and existing mobile games into eSports contests.
- Blockchain allows the platform to create a better, more secure gaming experience for the players, game developers and advertising partners, increasing the speed and time of payments with a lower associated cost.
- Players will use tokens that they have earned or purchased to enter skill-based tournaments and the tokens will be distributed to the players based on the results.
- Tokens will be used for game purchases, tournament entries and profile upgrades.
- The Pay-to-Play feature allows players to create their own tournaments with live streaming on the platform, Youtube and Twitch.
Novelties
- Creates a new revenue stream for the game developer through free-to-play & pay-to-play tournaments.
- Players are rewarded for completing actions inside the game and game developers receive a portion of the revenue earned from the advertising.
