In-Game advertising Platform Giftgaming Returns to Seedrs to Raise £80,000

In-game advertising platform Giftgaming has returned to Seedrs with a mission to raise £80,000. The website raised £35,000 through its first campaign on the crowdfunding platform just a little over two years ago. 

Giftgaming is described as a patent-pending in-game ad service and startup supported by Accelerate Cambridge, Cambridge Judge Business School. Here’s how it works, brands give powerups, extra lives, etc. (with coupons) to players and the startup delivers them as surprise gifts to users. The platform notes that players receive an in-game gift containing a free currency or a power-up in exchange for viewing a banner or interstitial ad.

“We have a healthy sales pipeline with several companies using giftgaming® and revenue generated consistently each month. We are signing up more game publishers and all we need to do now is increase our firepower to get more leads.”

The platform noted that unlike its competitors it is less intrusive as it takes less time out of gameplay to 3 seconds versus 30 seconds and monetizes more players as it has a very high engagement rate of up to 95%. It also stated it believes it has potential to improve loyalty, spending, and reviews through gift psychology. Founder and CEO of Giftgaming, Nicholas Hatter, previously stated:

“The fundamental limitation of competitors who do moment-based or achievement-based rewards is in their nature: they’re based on moments and can be too dependent on player skill. And given the average mobile gaming session is only 6.8 minutes, there’s a hard limit on the number of incentivized video ads a player can watch in one session. Giftgaming provides a non-intrusive revenue stream for game developers and publishers to make up for these flaws.”

Since its launch, Giftgaming’s Seedrs campaign has secured nearly £35,000.
