We are also excited to see the launch of cryptocurrency rewards in our titles and the increase in engagement that the platform will bring.” Michael ‘Retz Retro’ Ingram from Retz Gaming Days said, “I have been using the RewardMob platform as both a game player and a game developer. As a game player, this platform is amazing. It has allowed me to discover games that I may not have seen before, and as well as this, it has allowed me to win money and gift cards without paying a penny. From just two tournaments I won just under $100 and had fun doing it! RewardMob is a brilliant platform for game players and makers alike.” Chris Best from game development company Best Creations said, “I find RewardMob to be the best thing that ever happened to mobile gaming. Just the simple thought of playing a game and making money for something I enjoy was more than enough for me to install it. “I have been working with RewardMob for about 6 months. I started as a user excited about the program and offered to make a game. After the launch of my game, I watched my users steadily increase over time.” Todd Koch, CEO at RewardMob said, “We are thrilled and delighted that we have a growing number of participants in each of our eSport tournaments. We hope that the gamers are loving the platform. We are only as good as the games developers we have on board.” Development of smartphones has led to a rapid rise in gameplay on mobile over the past ten years.
