Video Games, particularly Social Casinos, need to be certain that offering merchandise to players does not constitute gambling. Gambling, in most jurisdictions, requires the meeting of 3 elements, 1.

Have you ever seen an un-boxing video where the package contains a nice little surprise? That is what we at Monetizr understand as meta-experience. Little touches to products or their packaging adds to the overall enjoyment of receiving and using a product. We encourage all game developers to create meta-experiences for their players.
There are three main ways of how you can design a meta-experience:
Monetizr can handle additional product details and packaging. Doing anything in game is up to you but we can help in any way we can. For example our designers prepare professional artwork for posters.
On each transaction game developer can gain additional revenue by adding their preferred margin on top of item's production costs and Monetizr fee. Here's an example -
a player buys a poster for $10. Production costs are $4 and Monetizr fee is $1. For game developer revenue would consist of sale amount minus production costs and minus Monetizr fee.
Sale Amount = Production costs + Game Developer share + Monetizr Fee
Game Developer share = Sale Amount - Production costs - Monetizr Fee
In this case Game Developer would earn $5 from each poster sold ($10 - $4 - $1 = $5).
Monetizr takes care of all the things required for you to have customized physical rewards. That includes:
product designs from scratch or use game assets and art;
Monetizr creative services are made to help busy game developers to come up with product designs and player meta-experiences. Our designers can provide you ideas of how your products might look. But if you want you can also use our product .psd template files to design them yourself.
