Slated to launch September 1st of this year, TokyVille is the next big name in social gaming. Members can choose from over 50 exciting, user-approved games, while socializing with friends. Advertisers enjoy access to a huge market that is growing exponentially. But what makes TokyVille so innovative and enticing is that it is the first gaming site to ever award real cash prizes; in fact, members are eligible to win a million dollar sweepstakes.

Membership to TokyVille is free for players, providing access to not just dozens of games of chance and skill, but a social platform. Players may create a personal profile, create friend connections, join common-interest user groups, categorize friends (for example “Coworker Poker Buddies”), and send messages.

Land-based casinos and online gambling sites offer excitement, but the legal and financial repercussions can be huge. TokyVille offers the same thrills with zero risk of financial loss, and is 100% legal. Never before has there been a social gaming site that offers not just virtual rewards, but real cash prizes.

Companies experience incredible exposure and consumer engagement by advertising their products and services on TokyVille. Not only are they able to create a page within the platform to promote their products and services, their branding and advertisements are also displayed throughout the site.

Most notably, TokyVille advertisers are able to attract new customers and encourage loyalty in their existing client base by offering virtual currency – Tokys – in exchange for visiting their site or making purchases.

The TokyVille platform, developed over the last decade by Netco Sweeps, has been extensively tested. On March 1st, 2013, a beta version of TokyVille was launched with 12 advertisers. Within 2 months we had a list of 80,000 potential gamers who had opted-in to future marketing emails and are awaiting our full launch.

How did we grow our client base so quickly? Our proprietary software platform harnesses the power of community, the thrill of winning big, and the unparalleled reach of social networks.
First, potential customers are located and identified by sifting through fan pages and groups with similar interests. Our software can collect up to 100,000 individuals’ user IDs in an hour. Using Facebook advertising, we then send invitations to TokyVille sweepstakes. Our testing has found that on average 40-60% will accept the invitation and join our site. Facebook not only has a huge reach – 1 billion members – but their advertising costs are a minute fraction of most online advertising platforms.
However the real growth happens when you incentivize enlisting friends to join the fun. Each time a member enters a contest they’re offered an extra 10 entries for each friend who joins by their invitation. If each member succeeds in recruiting just 2 more members a doubling effect occurs and the contest goes viral. During beta testing one advertiser grew his client list to 46,000 people in 6 weeks, by simply inviting 100 friends to join.
By incentivizing membership this way we not only foster loyalty and community (and fun!) – we cut cost per recruited member down to $0.02, as compared to $5 using traditional advertising methods.

As with most online advertising, our charges are determined by the amount of views and clicks their ads get. What sets TokyVille apart is that advertisers are also given the opportunity to purchase Tokys – our site-specific virtual currency, by which all games are played – to incentivize consumer engagement and loyalty. 

Not only is TokyVille free for users, with the potential for a huge cash payoff – they are able to earn more virtual currency (and play more games) by patronizing the businesses they love

Free games and the allure of a huge cash payoff may be what first attracts gamers to TokyVille. But the social rewards inherent to this symbiotic cycle are what will keep them coming back – and bringing their friends, too. By patronizing businesses they love and discovering new brands beloved by friends, gamers earn more virtual currency that enables them to play more games and make deeper connections.

Win – win – win.

The successes of our competitors inspire and motivate us to create a gaming site better than any the world has seen.

With games like Words With Friends and Farmville on their roster of 63 games, Zynga has enjoyed incredible success since it first launched their games on Facebook in 2007. Today, they have over 221 million monthly users. However, they host games developed by other companies, and many of them are role-playing games. These are among the most expensive to develop, and their success rate is only 20%. We have a huge edge in that we develop our own games, most with a focus on casino games, which are significantly cheaper to develop and have high returns in both revenue and loyalty.

Double Down Casino is another that has experienced success as a gaming company using Facebook as its platform. After starting in 2010 they established themselves as the #1 free casino game on the site, with 4.5 million monthly users. Double Down was sold to IGT for $500million in 2012. Their very popular casino games have built-in viral marketing, but they only offer virtual prizes, with no chance for winning real cash, unlike TokyVille. The autonomy and self-sufficiency allowed by the development of our own proprietary platform sets us apart as well.

Slotomania was developed by Playtika in 2010, after raising $1 million to launch. Since then, their gaming community grew to 5.5 million users. They were subsequently sold to Harrahs in 2012 for $90 million. Offering excellent slots games with built-in viral marketing features, they failed to truly cash in on their potential by raising the stakes and enticing gamers with the chance to win a huge sweepstakes. Instead, Slotmania gamers were merely motivated by the desire to earn more gold stars than their friends.

We at TokyVille have no doubt that our impressive line-up of games, proprietary platform, unique marketing strategy and unprecedented offer of huge cash prizes will secure success larger than any of our competitors.

Since March 1st our growth and interest have exceeded all projections based on a decade of development and research. In two months’ time we have generated over $60,000 in sales for our 12 advertisers, and compiled a list of over 80,000 interested gamers awaiting our launch.
On September 1st, 2013, TokyVille will launch with an expected 1 to 2 million registered members – each of whom is bound to have at least a couple friends interested in winning big….
