It’s no secret that the video gaming market is a massive — and massively lucrative — space, with an estimated 2.5 billion video gamers enthusiastically picking up their consoles or tapping at screens and keyboards worldwide. 51 percent of gamers play using their mobile phones, thus dwarfing the numbers for all the other gaming consoles available in the market.

Avid gamers are more than willing to spend money on virtual gaming success and a chance to be unique. Others seek avenues to monetise their gaming skills and efforts, evidenced by the vast number of live streams that gamers broadcast and watch on platforms like Twitch fueled also by the rise of professional eSports. All this money floating around means the global online gaming market was worth US$150 billion in 2018.

Almost 50 percent of the market’s revenue comes from mobile gaming, which accounted for an estimated US$68.2 billion. Contributions from mobile gaming are projected to grow over 10 percent year on year. And there is a secondary market that has proven itself to be very lucrative — the market for gaming accessories, virtual items like skins or currencies, and the like all have a potential of 500 million active users seeking new ways to stand out from the crowd. For example, you could buy a custom outfit for a video game character for US$500.

Toppling would-be tricksters in the game

As popular as mobile phone games are, there are a number of issues players frequently come across when interacting with its products and services. For instance, gamers who wish to purchase products and services to improve their gameplay or skills often have to trade on forum platforms like Reddit, where no protected verification or transaction systems are available.

Gamers trading on platforms like these are more at risk of getting conned as they have difficulty verifying accounts that sell the products and services. The lack of transparency is worrying for many gamers and neither party has a method for verifying if the offer or payment is genuine, it creates a barrier from successful transactions.

Gamers would greatly benefit from a trusted platform that bridges buyers and sellers and would be empowered to further enjoy their gameplay, even more, knowing their transactions are safe and sound.

The market needs a space that can verify and establish credibility when it comes to such purchases. A platform that can provide competitive rates and loyalty rewards to buyers would undoubtedly attract gamers from all over the world to invest more in their gaming enjoyment and success, while protecting them from scammers and other malicious personalities.
