“The social aspect of gaming is often overlooked, but we believe it creates one of the strongest reward loops that incentivise consumer behaviour. For instance, mgames on Viber have private lobbies so users can host friendly competitions with their family and friends. This and other features are novelties that will make your messaging app experience more dynamic,” says Ronald Robins, Mineski's Chief Executive Officer.
Meanwhile, Ronald Robins, Mineski's chief executive officer, shares how grateful his company is for providing happiness and rewarding experiences by incorporating games into an otherwise serious messaging platform.
“Our partnership with Viber is a testament to our commitment to creating rewarding experiences through gamification. This integration is reminiscent of Mineski’s early days of building communities through a common love for gaming. We are now proud to deliver this promise to the larger, more diverse casual gaming audience that only Viber can aggregate."
