## Delving into the Realm of Competitive Gaming with Stakes
GamyTech’s Chief Executive, Jonathan Swerdlow, recently elaborated on the rapid ascent of his real-currency competitive gaming hub.
**Could you elaborate on the nature of GamyTech?**
Fundamentally, GamyTech serves as a platform empowering players to wager actual funds on popular mobile pastimes, envision classics such as Checkers and 2048, but with an exhilarating element of chance. By incorporating real-money stakes, we’ve heightened the competitive nature of these games, enabling users to compete for more than just boasting privileges. We accomplish this by crafting our own unique games and incorporating pre-existing ones into our framework.
**Walk us through your experience in the i-gaming domain – what ignited the concept behind GamyTech?**
My path originated in New York, managing a gaming enterprise before relocating to Israel. It was there that I first encountered the i-gaming landscape and was astounded by the level of proficiency in generating revenue from gaming encounters. As an early adopter of PokerStars, I was a dedicated online poker player and captivated by how participants engaged within the digital realm. I perceived an opportunity to replicate this involvement within the casual gaming sphere. Being a devoted gamer and online poker aficionado myself, I possessed a deep comprehension of both worlds and felt driven to amalgamate them into a distinct proposition.
**What tactics have you implemented to promote GamyTech and its offerings?**
Weve invested heavily in marketing, collaborating with other businesses and launching extensive promotional campaigns to spread awareness about our offering. This strategy is yielding results – we’re fixated on ascending the App Store rankings, and a search for backgammon in most regions places us at the top or within the top five.
Users seem genuinely enthusiastic about what we’re developing at GamyTech. Our expansion is incredibly rapid, with our user base more than doubling monthly. In just over six months, our games have surpassed half a million downloads, and millions of games have been played within our platform. Our player base is highly engaged – they provide abundant feedback and maintain a strong presence on our social media channels. We’re fostering a genuine community around our games, particularly backgammon. We have dedicated players who return daily and are familiar with one another – they interact on social media, share blog posts about their matches… it’s remarkable to witness. We even have a contingent of professional players who generate income through our platform! It’s truly impressive that individuals can transform their passion into a livelihood – some users are earning several hundred dollars per month.
And our offerings extend beyond backgammon – we also feature timeless classics like Snake and 2048 that enjoy widespread recognition and popularity.
Is recognition a crucial element in drawing users to fresh interactive entertainment?
To present our digital play approach, we opted to commence with pastimes individuals recognize and enjoy. We debuted with standards such as Backgammon and current favorites like 2048. Now that users rely on us and grasp our essence, we’re prepared to pioneer and craft completely novel amusement encounters.
What lies ahead for GamyTech?
We possess a tile-matching game akin to Candy Crush and Bejeweled nearing release. We’re also on the verge of introducing a card game, with additional games under development. Our objective is to ultimately generate our own distinct niche games. We further intend to implement multiplayer competitions with substantial prize funds within the coming six months, resembling those found on PokerStars and Party Poker.
What hurdles accompany entry into the online gaming sector?
Launching a venture is inherently demanding, irrespective of the field. However, I perceive the online gaming sector as particularly stimulating regarding product promotion and design. It’s highly innovative compared to other sectors. The marketing is undeniably intense – all the brands are highly engaged and possess precise knowledge of their target audience.
Engaging customers is a constant challenge, particularly for an emerging business like ours competing with established industry titans. We need innovative marketing strategies to capture the audience’s interest.
One consideration is whether digital games should emphasize skill-based elements. While we don’t envision completely eliminating chance-based options like slots, it’s evident that players desire more interactive experiences, especially on mobile platforms. Multiplayer functionality and social aspects are becoming indispensable. Even in areas like sports wagering, the capacity to interact and rival friends is revolutionary. For too long, online gaming has been a solitary pursuit, but the world has evolved, and we must adjust.
Speaking of adjustments, we’re currently in the process of securing $5 million in investment. There’s significant interest from both major industry players and venture capitalists. Our goal is to finalize the funding round by year’s end, enabling us to enlarge our staff, develop additional games, and significantly increase brand visibility. Being a part of this company is incredibly exhilarating, and I firmly believe we’re poised to make a substantial impact. Keep GamyTech in mind – you’ll be hearing that name frequently!
