Blockchain gradually reaches into all the aspects of human life and improves it. This technology is applied in many fields, not only in creating cryptocurrencies. The mobile gaming industry which has been facing some problems and even stagnation in the recent years drew attention of blockchain developers.

Let us describe the problems of the mobile games market and share the way PlayHall platform can solve them with its product.

Problems of the Mobile Games Market

In this market problems of the developers reflect and directly influence the gamers. The main problem of all free to play games developers is the difficulty of monetizing. The ways of making profits from their own games are either not effective or deter the users too much (just like obtrusive advertising). They also can have negative influence on the balance of a game if it comes to purchases in an application.

One more problem which influences not only developers but also their target audience (mobile gaming users) is caused by the increased attention of general public all around the world to E Sports in the recent years. The staggering prize money and worldwide recognition attract hundreds of thousands and even millions gamers from all over the world to Esports. Of course, only some of them achieve real success. The problem is lack of sports which might be categorized as Esports but with the much lower threshold.

But a large number of modern young people are driven by the spirit of competition and want to demonstrate their skills and earn money at the same time. Skill Gaming games allow each person to demonstrate what he or she is capable of and to earn money by defeating the opponents. In this case a gamer doesn’t need to give up a normal life and focus on Esports, despite the fact that the training process requires a serious approach.

PlayHall Concept

The concept of the PlayHall gaming platform is to create an ecosystem for Skill Gaming games using a blockchain technology. This will be an ecosystem with which playing for real money is intended to be easy and bring pleasure to gamers. As for developers, they will receive payments without damage to their product not having to face obtrusive advertising and other questionable ways of monetization.

In spite of the fact that PlayHall platform games involve prize money for winners they can not be classified as gambling, because the result depends not on luck but on the gamer’s skills. Gambling gradually goes into shadows. Games, in which success depends on your skills such as your intelligence, speed of the reaction and tactics and strategy, come to the fore.

In the market there are games, the concept of which is similar to PlayHall but they have significant drawbacks. The main feature which will make playing for money in the PlayHall system popular is the ease of replenishing account (buying PHT tokens) and withdrawing the prize money into the fiat money.

The platform developers do not simply create a solution for regular matches and mind games tournaments but intend to develop the ecosystem and attract new users and developers by holding new tournaments and offering more competitive disciplines to develop modern Esports.
