The event is set to introduce gamers from
around the world to the bitcoin-rewards side of gaming.
ZEBEDEE, a Bitcoin-powered
payments processor for the gaming industry, in partnership with
Guilds, a new skill-based
wagering platform, is set to host Bitcoin Games Day, a gaming event
with hundreds of USD worth of bitcoin prizes. The day-long event
will be held on April 22, with gamers around the world competing.
The event will include boosted rewards intended to invite the next
slew of gamers into the rewarded gaming universe, the press release
states.
"Running a worldwide promotional event alongside a partner such
as ZEBEDEE that has years of experience in rewarded gaming gives us
a great opportunity to demonstrate the superiority of our business
model for multiplayer PvP gaming in front of a wide audience," said
Kabir Hemrajani, CEO and co-founder at Guilds. "With Hellfire
Arena, our first game, players can enjoy an ad-free PvP experience
and put their skills to work to earn real money, all within one
global monetary network built around Bitcoin."
The event will be sponsored by ZEBEDEE, Guilds, Dubbz, THNDR
Games, Geyser and several other Bitcoin gaming studios, developers
and startups that want to bring Bitcoin rewarded gaming closer to
the masses all over the world. The event will offer double rewards
in games from its most high-profile partners, including Bitcoin
Miner by Fumb, Braindoku by Murka and Coin Mahjong by Bear Hug
Entertainment, as well as in its own SaruTobi and Lightning Crush
mobile games.
"For many people, Bitcoin games have been their first contact
with the global digital economy. With our tech and products that
merge gaming and finance, we've been making that passage smooth,
easy and, most of all, fun." said Ben Cousens, chief strategy
officer at ZEBEDEE. "Now, after all this time, we feel it's time to
throw a party to commemorate how far rewarded gaming with Bitcoin
has come and look down the wide road towards its almost endless
possibilities."
Gamers can register on
the Hellfire Arena app to secure their welcome bonus of 1,000 sats
and start practicing in daily tournaments leading up to Bitcoin
Games Day. Games by other ZEBEDEE partners are also already
available and discoverable within the ZEBEDEE app and require no
upfront payment or entry fees to start playing. For more
