GameOn Entertainment Technologies: Revolutionizing Fan Engagement

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 4:33 PM on Thursday, September 21st, 2023

In the rapidly evolving landscape of sports entertainment, one company is spearheading a new era of fan engagement. GameOn Entertainment Technologies, a leader in B2B tech collaboration, is paving the way for web3 games that are redefining fan interaction. By turning fans into super fans through unprecedented levels of engagement, retention, and audience monetization, GameOn is reshaping the future of sports entertainment.

The Power of Partnerships

GameOn’s success story is built on strong partnerships with industry giants. Their collaboration with Karate Combat, a global fighting network boasting 10 million viewers and 200 million video streams monthly, has been nothing short of groundbreaking. The KC-40 event shattered records, drawing audiences from over 100 countries.

Taking it up a notch, GameOn joined forces with the Professional Fighters League (PFL), further cementing their presence in the combat sports arena. However, the crowning achievement came with their partnership with LaLiga, the most followed soccer league in the world.

LaLiga: A Game-Changing Collaboration

The LaLiga partnership is a monumental milestone for GameOn. This signals the start of a new era, demonstrating GameOn’s ability to forge significant relationships with major leagues. The company’s major league strategy, meticulously honed over six months, is now coming to fruition. LaLiga is the first of many tier one leagues set to join the GameOn revolution.

The impact of this collaboration goes beyond mere association. LaLiga’s immense global reach ensures widespread visibility. The news spread organically across various platforms, including revered sports publications like the Sports Business Journal. This not only signifies a triumph for GameOn in the world of capital markets but also provides an invaluable boost in terms of business recognition and engagement.

Revolutionizing Fantasy Sports

GameOn’s approach to Web3 and crypto sets them apart. They are primarily a games company that leverages Web3 to pioneer the next generation of fantasy sports. Starting with playable versions of athletes in the form of digital trading cards, users can customize and equip them, creating a strategic layer of gameplay. These digital athletes then form the basis of a fantasy gaming experience during live matches.

Complementing this is a simulated card battle game, perfect for off-season engagement. This innovative approach keeps fans active and engaged even during downtime, a vital aspect often overlooked by traditional sports platforms.

Building the Future of Fan Engagement

GameOn’s trajectory is charted with precision. CEO Matt Bailey’s strategic vision has laid the foundation for a three-phase plan: acquire IP, execute, and ultimately turn that into revenue and profits. The major leagues’ integration will be the catalyst for explosive growth in 2024 and beyond.

With a recent successful funding round, led by Lightning Capital and Flow, GameOn is well-positioned to revolutionize the fan engagement space. Their distinctive approach, marked by diversification of investor base and partnerships with industry leaders, has set them on a trajectory of unprecedented success.

In an era where passive viewership is giving way to active, personalized engagement, GameOn Entertainment Technologies is not only ahead of the curve but leading the charge. Their innovative approach to fan interaction, coupled with strategic partnerships, promises a future where fans are no longer spectators but active participants in the world of sports entertainment.

GameOn is not just redefining fan engagement; they’re building the future of it!

GameOn Achieves Remarkable Q2-2023 Growth: A Closer Look for New Investors

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 1:38 PM on Tuesday, September 5th, 2023

GameOn Achieves Remarkable Q2 Growth: A Closer Look for New Investors

GameOn (CSE: GET) (OTCQB: GMETF) is on fire, and Q2 2023 financials prove it. The next-generation fantasy sports platform, renowned for partnering with the world’s top leagues to launch, operate, and monetize web3 games, has shattered its own records for the second consecutive quarter. Let’s dive into the highlights:

Stunning Revenue Surge:
In Q2 2023, GameOn reported a whopping $836,239 in revenue. This is a staggering 568% increase compared to the same period in 2022 when the revenue stood at $125,160. The growth is not just impressive; it’s a testament to GameOn’s aggressive expansion and solid market positioning.

Smart Cost Management:
While revenue soared, GameOn displayed astute financial management. The net loss and comprehensive loss for Q2 2023 were $1,200,580, which is a remarkable 50% decrease compared to Q2 2022 when the losses were $2,424,024. This demonstrates GameOn’s commitment to a path of profitability.

Major League Momentum:
GameOn is driving its recent successes with a major league focus. The announcement of Professional Fighters League as a partner is just the beginning. GameOn has multiple deals already in the pipeline, poised to be unveiled in the coming months. Each of these partnerships will leverage GameOn’s PLAYN3XT platform, opening doors to multi-million-dollar revenue opportunities.

Future Projections:
With several partnerships on the horizon, GameOn management plans to provide detailed revenue projections in late-Q3 or early-Q4. This careful planning and collaboration with partners are expected to significantly boost GameOn’s investor reach, brand value, and financial standing.

GameOn’s Q2 2023 financials tell a compelling story of rapid growth, sound financial management, and a strategic approach to dominating the fantasy sports and web3 gaming landscape. As a new investor, this is a company to watch closely, as it’s poised for even more significant achievements in the near future.

Enthusiast Gaming $EGLX.ca Releases Its Most Successful Documentary to Date, Featuring 83-Year-Old Gaming Grandma, Shirley Curry $EPY.ca $FDM.ca $WINR $TCEHF $ATVI $TNA.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:03 AM on Wednesday, April 24th, 2019
https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.agoracom.com/public/companies/logos/564647/hub/images.jpg
  • Led to 442% increase in viewership of Enthusiast’s ‘Gameumentary’ series Q1 2019 over Q1 2018
  • ‘Shirley Curry: The Gaming Grandma’ is 18th documentary filmed and produced by Enthusiast and already has over 2.5 million minutes of watch time
  • Enthusiast working on three more documentaries this year with plans for more in 2020

TORONTO, April 24, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Enthusiast Gaming Holdings Inc. (TSXV: EGLX) (OTCQB: EGHIF), (“Enthusiast” or the “Company”) is excited to announce the recent premier of its video game documentary titled, “Shirley Curry: The Gaming Grandma“. The documentary has already received over 300,000 views and 2.5 million minutes of watch time since its mid-April launch. Nick Calandra served as Director and Omar Ahmed as Producer for the documentary which was released under the ‘Gameumentary’ label owned by Enthusiast.

The documentary explores the popularity rise of Shirley Curry, the 83-year-old grandmother, celebrity gamer, and streaming sensation who has earned the nickname “Skyrim Grandma” for her videos about The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The Gaming Grandma started playing video games in 2014, and has built a loyal fanbase of over 558,000 subscribers on YouTube.

“The Gaming Grandma” reflects the new reality of the gaming community as the demographics within the industry have broadened significantly in recent years. Gaming is becoming a hobby for everyone and age is becoming less relevant. A recent study highlighted that 20% of all gamers in the US are now between the ages of 36 to 49 and 23% of all gamers in the US are over 50 years old(1). Enthusiast’s platform and significant network provides communities for gaming enthusiasts of all ages and located all over the world.

Nick Calandra, Founder and Director of Content for Gameumentary commented, “Since being acquired by Enthusiast in June 2018, Gameumentary has seen significant growth. We have launched 18 gaming documentaries worldwide since 2017, and most recently, the Gaming Grandma which already has over 300,000 views. Our documentaries and short films are meant to tell the stories behind the games and its fans, and the support and partnership with Enthusiast enables us to continue producing content.”

Enthusiast acquired Gameumentary in June 2018, as a property focused on telling the stories behind video games and the communities that play them, through long-form and short documentaries. Gameumentary has already produced 18 documentaries and with the support and management of Enthusiast, has traveled around the world from Los Angeles to Seattle, Austin to Prague, Ghent to Amsterdam to find exciting content.

Since the acquisition, the company has seen substantial growth with an increase of 440% in views compared to the same period, Q1 2018. Gameumentary will continue its momentum with three more studio documentaries planned for 2019. The next major documentary will cover the Insurgency series by New World Interactive, expected to premiere this summer.

G-Loot welcomes $25 million in investment

  • Swedish esports company G-Loot has received an $25 million £18,695,883.50) from both new investors and current investors such as Swedbank Robur and asset management company Norron.
  • G-Loot is the parent company of competitive PUBG platform Global Loot League and competitive card game platform TopDeck. This capital will be used to bolster prize pools and help expand in terms of staff, more competitive titles, and more competitions.

Patrik Nybladh, Founder and CEO of G-Loot commented on the investment: â€It feels great that G-Loot now has secured 25 million US dollars to finance our ongoing expansion and to support our ambition to become the world’s leading online esports company. As far as I know it is the largest European esports investment ever. I am particularly glad that our current major owners increased their holdings when given the chance.”

G-Loot received $12.1 million (£9.2 million) in an investment round led by Swedbank Robur in January 2018. At the time, the capital was said to be going towards staff recruitment, increased marketing, and platform development.

Henrik Carlman, Fund Manager at Swedbank Robur commented: “Esports is one of the fastest growing forms of entertainment today. There are plenty of opportunities and many companies are trying to get a piece of the growth but only a few of them have a clear idea on how to monetize the emerging industry. G-Loot are among the very few with a proven business model and a grand vision of democratizing esports and making competitive gaming available to all.

“I am very proud and enthusiastic to support G-Loot and its entrepreneurs with our second investment in the company. G-Loot’s strong growth and improved profitability creates a fantastic opportunity for our funds to participate in this kind of value creation.”

Esports Insider says: This is a huge investment for most industries, never mind just in esports. G-Loot’s offering is interesting so we’ll be keeping an eye on how these additional funds helps things to improve further over the coming months.

Gorman believes women are the future of gaming — and that gaming companies need to embrace this overlooked demographic in their game design to succeed in the next wave of development. Her solution is to bring gender diversity to an industry that is perversely unaware of it. Her company’s mission is to focus on creating games that are artificial intelligence-based and specifically designed to help players relax and de-stress. The company’s debut mobile app is called Confetti Casino, a Vegas-style slots game.

There are several new trends that could help Gorman achieve her goals:

Mobile games are exploding

Over the next 4 years, Gorman says that “all growth in gaming revenue will be on mobile platforms.” At this time, 64% of women and 38% of men already prefer using mobile over other gaming platforms. Gorman attributes this growth to the convenience and accessibility of mobile. Mobile games are more approachable and offer quick play sessions during lulls in the day. In this way, mobile games can become core parts of our lives, just as text messaging, online shopping, and social networking have. Traditional console and PC games require expensive equipment that facilitates longer, more intense play sessions. Often, the extended gaming time spent on those devices can be a problem for players, as when teens avoid dinner or homework to play them. However, a mobile game player only needs a smartphone and appropriate apps to participate. Plus, both mobile phones and the apps they run are becoming more powerful and  more graphically realistic, making them more appealing every year.

Gorman also points out that Millennials and Gen X-ers grew up playing games on their mobile devices. With the exponential rise of smartphones, it simply makes sense that a fun childhood hobby will continue into adulthood.

Women like using games to destress and to be social

When it comes to mobile games, what do women want? Fort Mason Games surveyed 3,000 women to find out. 93% said

they play slots games on their phones and tablets to relieve stress. Fort Mason Games also found that women tend to be highly social when it comes to mobile gaming. Confetti Casino was designed with that in mind. It’s easy for players to bring new friends into the game, as well as forming new friendships with other players. The game encourages players to send and receive HeartGrams that pay in-game rewards. Gorman says this feature has resulted in highly positive App Store reviews and more engagement and fun for participants.

The games women love to play will gross billions in revenue

There are over 2.5 billion players in the socially-driven mobile gaming ecosystem. Social casino games alone are projected to gross $4.2 billion in revenue just this year. That’s money that will be left on the virtual table if gaming companies continue to ignore the female gaming community and its particular needs and interests. According to a Google study, 60% of female mobile game players surveyed feel that fewer than 1 in 3 games are made with women in mind.

Gorman advises gaming companies — especially ones with male-dominated leadership — to remember that female audiences are different. They may not necessarily value the same themes, artwork, and gaming mechanics as male audiences. It’s important to consider what female audiences would find relatable and enjoyable to play, but it’s equally important to ensure the gaming experience is respectful to women. In many games, female characters are portrayed in an overly-sexualized fashion that is meant to serve the male audience’s interests.

Gorman says she is aware of how demeaning this can be for women, so she created Confetti Casino Slots with a more sensitive and respectful approach. The in-game characters are fully clothed, and the tone of the game portrays a simple party-vibe as opposed to one of sexual conquest.

Forging the future of women in gaming

Gorman is one of very few women CEOs in mobile gaming. She’s on a mission to build a billion dollar mobile entertainment business — and she’s doing it by creating a gaming community for and by women. With several new games under development, look to Fort Mason Games to lead the way in the female future of mobile gaming, that is, an experience that’s mobile, socially-focused, and female-centric. For companies looking to take a bigger piece of the pie in the coming years, the female audience is a relatively untapped and underserved population.

  • Number of female gamers active in the Chinese market grew 6 percent year-on-year to hit 264 million in 2017
  • Accounting for 45 percent of the total number in the country, according to a report by industry database Gamma Data Corp.

More and more female gamers in China are splashing their cash online, increasingly becoming a key driving force behind the world’s largest gaming market, according to a recent report.

The number of female gamers active in the Chinese market grew 6 percent year-on-year to hit 264 million in 2017, accounting for 45 percent of the total number in the country, according to a report by industry database Gamma Data Corp. The company predicted that number will grow steadily in the coming months, reaching 281 million this year.

The report said female gamers’ passion is set to create a market worth 56.84 billion yuan ($8.85 billion) by 2020, buoyed by mobile internet expansion, booming social media usage and major online game companies’ shift toward creating more games targeted at women.

The market is expected to reach to 49.93 billion yuan this year, compared with 43 billion yuan in 2017, the report said.

Kern Zhang, senior customer manager at mobile analytics firm App Annie in China, said the mobile internet boom has made it easier for producers to target female players’ needs and tastes.

“Unlike console-based games that usually require a long period of participation, mobile games are notably appealing to women as they are light, fun and particularly highlight their emotional demands,” Zhang said. “And the detailed game graphics activate players’ natural desire to share, especially their sharing of opinions on social networking sites.”

Gamma Data’s report said China’s mobile female gamers market was worth 26 billion yuan last year, contributing more than half of total sales revenue.

“It will still take some time to grow the market, and other similar mobile games can be expected to pop up in the near future,” Zhang said.

Seeing the new trend, a growing number of developers are already introducing games targeting women, and many have been reaping the benefits.

Love and the Producer, a mobile dating game developed by Paper Studio, based in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, has attracted a huge following among Chinese females in recent months. Given the role of female TV producers, the game allows users to date virtual boyfriends — four male protagonists with different professions and personalities.

Gamma Data reported that since its release last December to February this year, the game recorded more than 9.5 million downloads on Apple Inc’s iOS App Store and the Android app store in China.

#F1 looks to the future with #Esports series $GMBL $ATVI $TTWO $GAME $EPY.ca $TCEHF

Formula 1 driving simulation view from Autoshow 2017
  • Electronic sports is one of the fastest-growing entertainment industries, swelling to a value of almost $1 billion as it attracts a young demographic of fans.
  • It an important area of focus for Formula 1, which is looking to capitalise on interest in virtual gaming and competition.

F1 had not stepped into the esports arena before Liberty Media’s takeover in January 2017. Fans looking to race together had to make do with unofficial leagues organised online, but that all changed last autumn when F1 launched its esports series.

The attraction to a broad and committed younger generation of F1 and esport fans is something that we are proud to support and nurture

Drivers were invited to take part in online qualifiers using the official F1 video game before the top 40 met in London for the live semi-finals. This was whittled down to 20 drivers for the live finals at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, where the races were broadcast online and given a full TV presentation similar to that of the real-life F1 events. The winning driver – 18-year-old Brendon Leigh, a kitchen manager from Reading – was awarded the trophy on the podium in Abu Dhabi just hours before the final grand prix of the season.

“The attraction to a broad and committed younger generation of F1 and esport fans is something that we are proud to support and nurture,” F1 commercial chief Sean Bratches said following the live final. “We look forward to establishing a season-long series in 2018.”

Liberty has been pushing to make F1 more attractive to a younger audience since its takeover, and esports offers a straightforward way to do that. A report from analytics provider Nielsen Sports found that the average age of esports fans is 26. And among those in its sample from the UK and Germany – two of F1’s most important markets – motorsports is the third most popular sport.

Nielsen reports that esports fans consume around 3.5 hours of digital/streaming content each week, and spend 4.5 hours watching videos online through websites such as YouTube. F1 recently launched its F1 TV platform, which looks to take the sport to a new, younger audience that would not watch the sport on mainstream TV. The crossover with the esports demographic makes it an obvious point of interest for F1.

I think there’s no doubt that F1 gaming, and specifically videos of it on YouTube, helps the real-life sport gain new followers

Enthusiasm for esports is also bringing fans to F1 who might not otherwise have tuned in. “I think there’s no doubt that F1 gaming, and specifically videos of it on YouTube, helps the real-life sport gain new followers,” said Aarav Amin, a leading F1 gaming content creator on YouTube whose videos have amassed more than 65 million views.

“From personal experience, I’ve seen comments from viewers countless times expressing how they’ve become new fans of the sport and are now obsessed with it thanks to watching my videos. These viewers are typically either teenagers or young adults, which is exactly the type of audience Liberty Media has been wanting to engage.”

Esports is also creating opportunities for drivers. Motorsport is traditionally a very expensive pastime, and young drivers require huge financial support to even get close to F1. As video games and simulations have improved, the gulf between the virtual and the real world has shrunk, giving gamers a chance to get a foot on the motorsport ladder.

The McLaren F1 team staged a ‘World’s Fastest Gamer’ competition last year to find a new simulator driver, testing gamers through a series of virtual and physical challenges. The event was won by Holland’s Rudy van Buren, who is now officially part of the McLaren team, working with race drivers Fernando Alonso and Stoffel Vandoorne to help develop the real-world F1 car.

Van Buren said: “Every boy that starts karting dreams about F1, and at a certain point that dream just vanishes. Now by winning World’s Fastest Gamer, I can relive that dream. It really was the toughest job interview I ever faced, but with such an incredible reward at the end of it.”

Van Buren and F1 esports winner Leigh were both given a berth in the ‘Race of Champions’ event in January that pits drivers from a variety of racing series in a head-to-head challenge. Leigh had never driven a real-life car until the week leading up to the showcase, but was able to get up to speed and underwent an intensive fitness regime similar to that of professional drivers, completing the transition from gamer to racer.

The esports effect on F1 is greater than simply offering a younger, previously untapped audience to the series. It is also makes motorsport more accessible and opens doors to aspiring racers.

Four-time world champion Lewis Hamilton is not convinced we will see future F1 drivers starting out in esports, but having come from a poorer background himself, he recognises the value of it and the opportunities it might create.

 I’ve got fans who are good at gaming but when they got into the car it isn’t the same

“It is quite incredible, the recent developments,” Hamilton said. “But do I think that will translate into a racing driver? Honestly, I don’t think you can ever be sure, but I doubt it. I’ve got fans who are good at gaming but when they got into the car it isn’t the same.

“It would be a far more feasible career for many because right now racing is so expensive and if [esports creates] an opportunity in the future, then that’s good for people that come from places that I came from. They can’t get that now. It is much harder for anyone from a council estate in Stevenage to get to F1 now – pretty much impossible because you need a lot of money.”

As F1 begins to map out its digital future, esports is going to be a key part of its plan – and it could have a significant impact both on and off-track.
