PlayPhone offers a superior social gaming experience.

A leader in social gaming, PlayPhone has recently announced that in all regions where it operates, it reaches almost every mobile subscriber and this success has enabled the company to gain significant traction around the world, particularly outside of the United States, where mobile gaming growth is the most substantial.

The mobile social gaming network presently reaches more than 82 percent of the US mobile market.

In addition to the United States, PlayPhone has reached 99 percent of Brazil’s market and is accelerating and growing more dominant in South East Asia via exclusive deals it has made with Indonesia’s and Singapore’s biggest mobile operators. For Mobile operators and messaging app partners, integrating the PayPhone platform is quick and profitable, as it takes less than two months to become a part of the company’s mobile gaming environment.

Palyphone CMO Anders Evju said “Once PlayPhone lands in a region, it’s only a matter of time before we reach almost a hundred percent of mobile subscribers in that region.” He added that “Operator and messaging app partners are signing on at an accelerated rate.” Evju commented that the active deals the companies have in India, Thailand, China, the Philippines, Australia, Europe and the Middle East, will enable them to cover more of the globe soon. “China alone will deliver more than a billion more potential gamers,” he said.

The gaming network’s advanced social gaming products for operators and messaging apps includes: cross-network virtual currency, an upcoming advertising platform, white-labeled social game stores and a game developer publishing platform that includes a proprietary software development kit (SDK).

PlayPhone’s technology takes mobile gaming to another level.

Mobile operators and messaging apps are utilizing the technology to provide their mobile customers with an improved social gaming experience with the benefit of broader mobile commerce options. One of the primary advantages of PlayPhone’s gaming ecosystem is its network currency known as “Playcredits”. Those who partner with the company enable their customers to make use of these Playcredits beyond mobile gaming, allowing them to buy mobile products, music, rewards programs and services. Thus, with PlayPhone’s offerings, the future of mobile gaming could be re-imagined.

Think Gaming is using science data to determine which mobile games it should fund.

The startup began its Scouting Reports service in February of this year and the purpose of this service is to help mobile game developers transform their freemium apps and games into highly successful products by making funds available to developers.

Funding gives developers independence and game ownership.

Scouting Reports is an app analyzer. It compares apps to information from other applications. It finds out what an app is doing right and will also point out areas that need improvement. Having this information is highly useful to those involved in mobile app development because it lets them know where they are succeeding and what they can do to make their product better.

More specifically, Scouting Reports compares mobile games to data from over 5,000 other titles in the mobile gaming industry. It measures key metrics connected with “predictable success”. This includes monetization, anticipated longevity, user retention and market size.

Think Gaming has recently announced that mobile game developers who have scored well on the firm’s Scouting Reports may be eligible to receive funds. The funds would be given in the form of a loan and are to be utilized for user acquisition expansion and company growth. Developers who take the funds will be able to maintain ownership of their games and their independence.

Think Gaming Co-Founder Tim Ogilvie said, “We provide funding designed for a modern independent developer: the money games need to scale their user acquisition campaigns, without the one-size-fits-all nature of a publishing model that’s past its prime.”

Mobile game developers receive funding based on positive Scouting Reports scores.

In order to be eligible for funding, a developer must have their game processed via the Scouting Report service. The game must achieve a minimum report score of 700 for the developer to qualify and apply for the loan. The higher the score an applicant achieves, the more funds are available to them.

This funding method provided by Think Gaming means that mobile game developers can avoid venture capital firms and publishers that could want more in return for their financial assistance.
