Loyalty marketing platform developed by PLAYSTUDIOS expands portfolio of international rewards partners
LAS VEGAS – Award-winning mobile game developer PLAYSTUDIOS (Nasdaq: MYPS) is expanding its international partnerships and offering its global community of players a taste of Hong Kong’s massively popular premium specialty coffee roaster, 18 Grams. Honored as one of 2020’s top 50 cafés in Asia by TimeOut, 18 Grams joins the growing playAWARDS partner portfolio, and will offer players a selection of rewards that include complimentary items, exclusive tasting experiences, and more. All of these rewards can be redeemed using loyalty points earned during free gameplay on the PLAYSTUDIOS family of apps.
“Our audience of Hong Kong players is growing and, like all players, they want to experience rewards that are close to home,” says Head of playAWARDS Rob Oseland. “We’re so proud to partner with an inventive and highly respected brand like 18 Grams.”
18 Grams started as a small premium espresso bar in Hong Kong’s Causeway Bay and has expanded to eight locations, with a robust ecommerce platform for curated coffee beans and equipment. Its founders have been featured as judges of coffee and barista competitions throughout the region, and the company is famous for mentoring several award-winning baristas at its locations.
Among the 18 Grams rewards that will be made available to players in the myVIP rewards store: buy one get one free coffee, free size upgrade, free 100g pack of the coffee-of-the-month, and one-on-one coffee tasting sessions with a barista.
The myVIP rewards portfolio is accessible in all PLAYSTUDIOS games – myVEGAS Bingo, myVEGAS Slots, myVEGAS Blackjack, my KONAMI Slots, and POP! Slots – and connects players to more than 275 celebrated brands offering unique access, experiences, and real-word rewards from around the globe.
