## A Daring Step in Online Wagering
**Jonathan Swerdlow, the visionary behind GamyTech, guides us through the extraordinary evolution of this real-currency competitive gaming hub.**
**Can you elaborate on GamyTech?**
GamyTech centers around building a space where users can vie for actual cash prizes in well-loved mobile games such as Checkers and 2048. Our goal is to introduce the excitement of betting to both timeless and up-and-coming games, allowing individuals to prove their abilities for tangible rewards. We possess the capability to craft our own games entirely or incorporate pre-existing ones into our framework.
**Share with us your personal path within the internet gaming sector – what sparked the idea for GamyTech?**
Prior to relocating to Israel, where I first encountered the realm of internet gaming, I managed a gaming enterprise in New York. The effectiveness with which they generated revenue from gaming experiences captivated me, prompting me to delve deeper. Simultaneously, I was an early adopter of PokerStars and a regular online poker player myself – I witnessed firsthand the community’s fervor and how real-world poker strategies translated to the digital sphere. I aspired to recreate that within the mobile gaming domain. Gaming has always been a passion, and online poker, an intrigue. Grasping the mechanics of both, I aimed to blend aspects of each into a novel creation.
**What strategies did you employ to market GamyTech and its offerings?**
Weve invested heavily in social media promotion, collaborating with a diverse range of collaborators, and connecting with fresh users daily via advertising platforms. Our App Store rankings have also surged – a quick search for “backgammon” today will reveal our app among the top results in numerous nations. We’re frequently in the top five, and often even claim the number one spot!
And our users? They adore what we’re crafting at GamyTech! Our player community has been expanding twofold every month. Despite launching just seven months ago, we’ve already surpassed half a million downloads. It’s incredible – millions of games have been enjoyed on GamyTech! Players are providing valuable feedback, sharing their preferences and dislikes, and engaging with us online. We’re witnessing a genuine community blossom around our games, particularly backgammon. Users return daily, forge friendships, and even chronicle their experiences. GamyTech even boasts professional players who are transforming their passion into a livelihood. Some players are generating substantial monthly incomes – it’s evolving into a sustainable income stream for them.
Naturally, we also provide classic favorites like Snake and 2048, games that people already recognize and enjoy.
Does a game’s recognizability impact its allure for fresh participants?
Our initial objective was to broaden the reach of wagering by utilizing traditional and mobile gaming platforms. We hypothesized that well-known games would serve as an optimal foundation. Consequently, we commenced with established favorites like Backgammon and popular choices such as 2048. Having cultivated trust in our platform and established user comprehension of its mechanics, we are poised to innovate and craft entirely novel gaming experiences.
What lies ahead for GamyTech?
An imminent addition to our lineup is a match-three game akin to Candy Crush and Bejeweled, slated for release shortly. Furthermore, we are on the cusp of unveiling a card game, with additional projects in the pipeline. Our roadmap includes exploring and leveraging specialized game markets. Moreover, within the next six months, we aspire to introduce multiplayer competitions boasting substantial prize pools, mirroring the offerings of platforms like PokerStars and Party Poker.
What obstacles arise when venturing into the online gaming realm?
Entrepreneurial endeavors invariably present challenges, irrespective of the industry. The online gaming sector captivates me with its product marketing and design intricacies. It exhibits a remarkable level of sophistication compared to other domains. Nonetheless, the competitive landscape within online gaming marketing is intense. Established brands demonstrate exceptional activity and possess deep industry knowledge.
Enticing new clients is perpetually a hurdle, particularly for a smaller organization vying with enterprises that have been established for a decade or two. A significant obstacle is cutting through the clutter with novel advertising to connect with consumers.
Is it advisable for the internet gaming sector to prioritize skill-centric games?
My perspective is that game genres like slot machines are enduring, and I don’t foresee i-gaming entirely transitioning towards skill-based games. However, I firmly believe that everyone must be present in the mobile realm, and social and multiplayer game components are gaining significance. Even within sports wagering, I contend that you should have the ability to compete against your companions and other participants. Until now, i-gaming has been heavily concentrated on the solo player experience, and now we exist in a mobile-first world where individuals’ lives are replete with interaction, necessitating i-gaming to adjust to this reality to flourish.
Are you presently pursuing fresh investments?
At this time, we are amidst a $5 million financing round and have garnered substantial attention from prominent operators and vendors within the sector, along with a handful of venture capitalists from Israel. Our hope is to finalize the round between September and December, enabling us to expand the company, reach a broader demographic with additional games and marketing endeavors. Being one of the originators of this company fills me with enthusiasm, and I am confident that GamyTech will become a prominent force within the i-gaming industry. Expect to hear much more from us in the years to come.
