An Innovative Rewards System

Built into the Q GamesMela app is its own system of virtual currency, which has quickly become a key feature. This virtual currency makes it easy for users to buy goods and services within the app, streamlining transactions.

Introduced during its first month, this reward system has undoubtedly helped the app experience rapid growth. It successfully distributed over 30,000 rewards, which varied from basic household items like toasters and microwaves to more desirable items such as gold coins, smartwatches, mobile phones, and cash prizes. The variety and quantity of rewards indicate the system's popularity and effectiveness.

Curt Marvis, CEO and Co-Founder, of QYOU Media, commented:

“While it is still very early in the evolution and growth of our gaming business, it is certainly thrilling to see such a strong reception as we enter the market. We continue to move slowly and deliberately, making decisions based on the data and ensuring the reliability of that information through purposeful and repeated trial and error as we ramp up our efforts moving into 2024.  We spent the last two years building an underlying ecosystem that can provide us a real advantage in our direct to consumer push and we feel more strongly than ever that this will begin to deliver real financial benefits in 2024 and beyond. Perhaps most gratifying is that users seem to love Q GamesMela!”

The positive impact of the app's reward system is clearly shown in the appreciative comments from Ravindra Kumar, who recently won a pressure cooker through his gameplay. Thus, highlighting a key aspect of user engagement on the platform.

Ravindra expressed his appreciation, saying:

"I couldn't fathom that playing games could grant me a utility item so useful. Affording it was a challenge, but now it eases my daily cooking chores. I aspire to win more on Q GamesMela."

Ravindra Kumar's testimonial highlights how the platform turns gameplay into real, useful rewards, improving users' lives beyond just entertainment. His experience shows the platform's effectiveness in combining enjoyment and practical benefits through gaming.
