VC-backed Rainmaker Games Launches GameFi Discovery Platform to Over 1 Million Users

 

Rainmaker Games announces the beta launch of the first-ever Discovery Platform for blockchain games, connecting millions of gamers to the latest Web3 games each week.
Rainmaker’s beta platform — backed by notable investors such as CoinFund, Polygon Studios, Alameda Research, Animoca Brands, and others — initially tracks over 150 trusted blockchain games, including Axie Infinity, Splinterlands, Thetan Arena, Cyball, League of Kingdoms. The platform offers expert reviews, technical details, earning potential statistics, video content, and other data points crucial to gamers. Powered by Rainmaker’s proprietary game data, the Discovery Platform will enable gamers to find games based on such categories as top-rated, most popular, free-to-play, highest yield, blockchain protocol, etc.
The launch comes as a recent Statista survey of gamers in the United States found that six in ten respondents were considering engaging with play-and-earn practices to earn rewards in the metaverse.
With the GameFi industry constantly expanding with new titles and new users, there has been a 92% increase in the number of blockchain games launched over the past 12 months. According to Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian, monetized gaming is tipped to be the trend of the future, with 90% of all games expected to pay users for playing them within the next five years.
Yet, until now, it has been difficult for users to identify and differentiate the variety of offerings in the blockchain gaming space. Information has often been hard to come by and is often highly curated by the game publishers themselves. In effect, it has been an uphill battle for new players to know what they are getting into, and few resources exist to help.
Rainmaker Games’ Discovery Platform, which already has over 1 million on the waitlist for access, fulfills a much-needed gap in the market with its community-driven, user-generated content — allowing users to review games, chat with other players, and build communities around their favorite games on message boards.
Each game will be rated and reviewed through the service by a team of 50 players and 2000 guild members, providing much-needed gaming data that is essential for informing newcomers and is currently missing from the growing blockchain industry. The platform is emphatic about going further than just labeling games as “blockchain-powered,” it additionally wants to provide precisely what information is most beneficial for both game publishers as well as audiences and the broader community.
Social network activity from Twitch, Reddit, and Twitter is also integrated directly into the game information pages, providing context for what’s going on across the larger web communities. The data provided by Rainmaker’s Discovery Platform can also help gamers be confident that the games listed are legitimate and community-approved when listed on Rainmaker.
The blockchain gaming search engine is led by CEO and Co-founder Will Deane, a serial entrepreneur, and CTO Jon Kennell, previously a software engineer with Google.
“With our Beta launch, Rainmaker is now the premiere discovery platform for gamers to access information about all the best blockchains games,” shared Will Deane, CEO, and Co-founder of Rainmaker Games. “We believe the ability to discover new and exciting titles and an overall great UX is the key to bringing P2E games to the mainstream gaming community. Rainmaker Games is poised to have a ubiquitous, Netflix of games-type influence.”
Deane continued, “Bringing the world of blockchain gaming together from across different chains, platforms, and ecosystems into one sleek, user-friendly interface is no small task. Our internal team of designers and engineers are gamers and blockchain enthusiasts who understand how to prioritize the user experience for both groups and know what information gamers want to know before investing their time and money into the blockchain gaming space.”
Rainmaker serves not only the specific needs of games publishers who seek audiences for their products but also of users who search for products and an understanding of the space and of a community that values each other’s contributions.
New games will be added to the platform’s database every week, with new features set to launch regularly, such as game guides and a rewards system to enhance the user experience.

Rivalry Expands Crypto Native Experience With Token Launch in H2 2024, Web3 Product Enhancements

 

Blockchain-Based Product to Position Rivalry Within Fast-Growing Crypto Gambling Segment, Drive Product-Market Fit Among Digitally Native Bettors with Increased Functionality and User Experiences

Rivalry, the leading sportsbook and iGaming operator for Gen Z, revealed Rivalry Token, a native crypto token on the blockchain to add increased functionality, economics, and user experiences across the company’s product suite, continuing Rivalry’s track record of innovation in online betting. The launch of Rivalry Token, anticipated to arrive in H2 2024, represents one of several forthcoming initiatives to position Rivalry in the crypto gambling market and better serve its core audience of 30-and-under bettors.

“Online gambling is the latest web-based consumer category being increasingly disrupted by blockchain technologies with greater speed, access, and functionality than their legacy counterparts,” said Steven Salz, Co-Founder and CEO, Rivalry. “Tech-savvy bettors are leading a behavioral shift towards more experiential and crypto-enabled gambling experiences that are taking wallet share from incumbents at an accelerated rate.”

“Rivalry is well-positioned to access the growth opportunity in crypto with a proven product set, a brand entrenched in internet culture, and a captive audience of digitally native users that are driving this economic renaissance,” Salz added. “The launch of Rivalry Token, alongside a broader expansion into cryptocurrencies, strengthens our product-market fit among an under-30 audience and positions us competitively to capture a meaningful share of this fast-growing segment of the market.”

Rivalry Token will be integrated within Rivalry’s product suite – from sportsbook to casino and more – with built-in properties to enhance the customer experience from end-to-end. Users can earn tokens through site activity such as betting and referring friends, which can be used on Rivalry to boost odds, participate in jackpots, and more to be detailed in the future. Rivalry Token will also be available on several to-be-announced crypto exchange platforms, trading under $RVLRY.

Rivalry Token creates a new dynamic relationship between player and house where every sports wager and casino spin, win or lose, is rewarded with a decentralized asset that can accrue value alongside player activity on Rivalry. The company expects its token will drive a meaningful increase in player engagement, loyalty, and advocacy by establishing more positive economic alignment and enabling customers to actively participate in product success.

Rivalry has today launched a pre-farming campaign where users can begin accumulating an interim currency through site activity and eventually social media which will be converted into Rivalry Token during the token generation event in H2 2024. Additionally, tokens will be distributed to all Rivalry accounts based on historical activity, rewarding loyal customers and creating a substantial reactivation opportunity for churned users.

Rivalry will also soon be adding greater support for other cryptocurrencies on its platform, allowing users to more easily bet with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, and other major cryptocurrencies. This will enable Rivalry to access a fast-growing audience gambling with crypto that is estimated to account for up to one quarter of global betting handle.

Following the official launch, Rivalry Token will be available for players to use on Rivalry in all of the company’s active markets excluding Ontario and Australia.

Published

on

 JuicyBet, a Web3 startup, announced the launch of its GambleFi platform. This platform combines finance technology and gambling via blockchain to create unique opportunities and experiences for users. The company strives to revolutionize the principles of the online betting industry and the interaction between platforms and users in this market.

What is GambleFi?

GambleFi uses blockchain technology to ensure the fairness and transparency of games and betting outcomes and for players to get their share of the platform’s earnings and participate in its governance and day-to-day by holding its tokens.

How JuicyBet works

JuicyBet fully utilizes blockchain technology to establish a new ecosystem that has never been seen in the gambling industry. It is centered around user participation and transparency while providing gambling thrills and quality entertainment.

All game records on the platform are kept in a public blockchain, while a set of smart contracts automates gaming outcomes and payouts and provides for the platform governance via the DAO model. This reduces fraud risks and operational costs, making JuicyBet a more efficient platform.

However, the platform’s main feature is the unprecedented level of user engagement via the platform’s native tokens.

  • First, the tokens provide access to betting.
  • Second, token holders get their share of the platform’s profit.
  • Third, token holders can vote on key decisions on the platform’s development in JuicyBet DAO.
  • And finally, DAO participants can also perform the role of oracles for bets and earn rewards.

In other words, JuicyBet doesn’t try to be just another gambling platform. It establishes a new ecosystem where users are in control of the platform and bets and are the beneficiaries of the platform.

In addition, JuicyBet offers additional earning opportunities, such as Double Farming and staking for token holders.

JuicyBet has already been noticed by users and investors – the platform’s 3-month turnover has exceeded $1,5 million, according to on-chain data available via Dune, and multiple centralized exchanges and launchpads have listed it.
