2019: Start of a marketplace of Lootdog for purchase and sale of in-game objects in the CIS countries
On April 24, 2019 the Mail.ru Group company announced start of a marketplace for purchase and sale of the in-game objects Lootdog in the CIS countries. Users of service will be able to make quickly and conveniently transactions with different in-game goods from favourite online games.
According to the company, for April, 2019 such projects as Warface, Armored Warfare are connected to a marketplace: "Armata project", Crossfire, Revelation, Archeage, Legend: Heritage of Dragons, Allods Online and Skyforge. Thanks to integration of Lootdog with games on special API users of service can expose objects from stock of games on marketplace at once.
All means received from transactions can be brought to the bank card through a personal account. Each transaction is protected by services of an antifraud, and a system is developed in such a way that technical processes in it meet modern standards of a digital security. In particular, all objects on Lootdog are verified by a system.
Lootdog became more convenient not only for players, but also for creators of games. So, the developer can independently determine the volume and the range of the objects exposed on a marketplace and also to watch different statistics on transactions.
We started Lootdog in January, 2018, and at once saw interest in the project both from players, and from developers. We carried out huge work on development of service to prepare it for an exit to international market. For April, 2019 in Russia Lootdog already integrates more than 165 thousand users who buy and sell about one million in-game objects. We hope that the marketplace will also find the audience and in other countries of the world. Rodion Kotelnikov, head of the Mail.ru Group gaming platform |
