Unity Ads and KamaGames enter into exclusive partnership

KamaGames, Europe’s biggest social mobile poker operator, recently announced that it has signed an exclusive partnership deal with Unity Ads in a bid to monetize its platform. As a result of the partnership, KamaGames will exclusively use Unity Ads’ in-app rewarded video advertising across its massively successful online portfolio of social casino games.

Describing the partnership, Andrey Kuznetsov, CEO of KamaGames commented: “The decision to partner with Unity Ads was an easy one based on the platform’s impressive metrics such as high eCPMs, (effective cost per thousand impressions), Fill Rate (the percentage of ads served based on the total number of page impressions) and the overall quality of provided content. Additionally, this agreement allows us to reduce the actual app ‘Weight’ in the App Store as Unity offers simple integration via their Unity Engine and since all of our games are made with this engine, we do not need to integrate any additional SDK for monetization. Our DAU in Q2 2018 has grown by 87% compared to Q2 2017, so we expect to increase our ads revenue at least two-fold thanks to Unity Ads.”

The VP of Global Business Development at Unity Ads, Julie Shumaker, added: “We are delighted that KamaGames has chosen Unity Ads. Unity has already enjoyed a strong partnership with KamaGames over the past five years and now this recent collaboration is set to make it even more successful.”

2018 has been a successful year for KamaGames, with the organization’s monthly active users (MAUs) reaching in excess of 3.3 million. So far, the gaming giant is on track to surpass its 2017 revenues and achieve an all-time record sales high.
