NextPlay Technologies says it has completed its previously announced acquisition of gaming assets and IP from goGame.
The acquired assets include goPlay. NextPlay plans to complete the integration of its HotPlay in-game advertising (IGA) technology into the 37 goPlay games by year-end.
NextPlay also acquired from goGame a perpetual license to goPay, a payment aggregator that offers game developers multiple ways to more easily collect and process user payments. This includes carrier billing, over the counter, e-voucher, bank transfer and e-wallet.
“The key value for us in this acquisition is how the goPlay platform enables gamers to form a community within its ecosystem,” noted NextPlay co-chief executive Nithinan (Jessie) Boonyawattanapisut. “We see this providing a ready-made platform to launch our HotPlay IGA technology, with this leading to new revenue streams and expansion of our reach to users in many additional countries around the world.”
NextPlay also plans to introduce goPlay game users to its NextFinancial fintech-oriented products, including crypto banking, micro-lending, and potential insurance services. Across each of these offerings, NextPlay would also have full access to goGame’s payment processing gateway goPay.
