GameOn & LiveLike Enter Distribution Partnership to Drive Clients & Revenue
Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – September 28, 2021) – GameOn Entertainment Technologies (CSE: GET) (OTCQB: GMETF) (FSE: 9E7), a leader in providing broadcasters, TV networks, OTT platforms, leagues, tournaments and sportsbooks with white label fan engagement technologies around sports, TV and live events, is pleased to announce a distribution partnership with LiveLike, signed this month. Through this partnership, the two companies will strategically leverage each other’s client base and industry relationships to drive new business and revenue.
LiveLike is a tech pioneer with a mission to empower digital audiences. It provides fan engagement and gamification tools to high-profile rights holders, broadcasters and sports organizations from the NBA, NASCAR, LaLiga and the Golden State Warriors, to Turner Sports, Canal+ and FloSports. Using LiveLike’s software development kits (SDKs), integrated directly into their own apps and websites, these leading sports rights holders have grown their ROI by attracting younger audiences, increasing retention, and unlocking new monetization and sponsorship opportunities. Among the many interactive and social features that partners can build with LiveLike’s platform are digital watch parties, influencer-led or private chat, leaderboards, trivia, quizzes, and more.
“As we continue on our mission to power the world’s most-watched content with the most innovative fan engagement technologies, strategic distribution to new clients and revenue is key,” said Matt Bailey, CEO at GameOn. “Partnering with the LiveLike team is a no-brainer. Our technologies and teams are complementary, and their clients are some of the world’s biggest sports and entertainment brands. We’re excited to drive business together.”
“LiveLike has always aimed at democratizing access to new-age technology, and particularly over the past two years, fans have come to expect innovation as part of the streaming sports experience,” said LiveLike CEO and Co-founder, Miheer Walavalkar. “Our partnership with GameOn puts us in a strong position to empower their partners to create new, custom ways to interact with and engage their users. We’re beyond thrilled to work with their team.”
GameOn recently announced partnerships with MX Player and Willow TV to launch free-to-play cricket prediction games this October, as well as its plan to be ready for Q4 revenue. This is off the back of a $5.8 million financing in March, listing on the CSE in June and subsequently on the OTCQB in July.
