ePlay Announces advertising, in-app purchase, and esports revenue increases

ePlay Digital Inc. (CSE:EPY) today announced that Big Shot has been downloaded over 35,000 times and revenue increased 580% in December for iOS and Android since the Company officially launched the augmented reality fantasy sports mobile game in Toronto and Los Angeles in October.

“Big Shot continues to grow and from our platform, many good things will follow,” says Trevor Doerksen, CEO of ePlay. “The app just keeps getting better and so does user engagement.”

In-app purchases, advertising, and esports are now directly driving Big Shot revenue in the 2020 USD 67.1B 2020 mobile gaming industry.
