Offerpal Launches GamePoints.com To Simplify Your Gaming Currency Needs

Offerpal Media, one of the largest offers providers for social games, has announced today that they are launching GamePoints.com, a site that rewards members with virtual currency for use in online games. Users must shop at big-brand retailers, take part in offers, complete surveys, watch videos, trade in gift cards or other tasks to get the points. The site is your one stop shop for getting game currency by doing offers or tasks on the web. There are 1,500 games that will redeem the GamePoints.com points for their in-game currency, and they include close to every possible relevant social game in existence. This includes Zynga's FarmVille, YoVille, Zynga Poker, Mafia Wars, CafÃ© World, PetVille, FishVille, Vampire Wars and others; Playdom's Mobsters, Sorority Life, Social City, Tiki Resort and others; Digital Chocolate's MMA Pro Fighter; HitGrab's Mousehunt; TheBroth's Barn Buddy; Tall Tree Game's Fish World; K-Factor Media's Castle Age; Tree Room's My Town; Apps-O-Rama's Car Madness; Offbeat Creations' Be a Tycoon; BitRhymes' The Warlords; Five Minutes' Happy Farm; and many others. Offerpal is definitely attempting to position GamePoints.com as a place to centralize your virtual currency needs, and the idea is a smart one. With so many different offer walls and payment alternatives, surely some players would like to do their surveys and offers in one place, and then play their desired game interrupted somewhere else. This model appeals to those users. The question is whether Facebook's recent announcement that they were testing offers with their Facebook Credits will interfere with this in any way. "Virtual currency has become an integral part of the online gaming experience, enabling consumers to purchase everything from clothes and accessories for their avatars to functional items that confer some type of advantage within the game," said George Garrick, CEO of Offerpal Media, Inc. "We launched GamePoints.com to empower online gamers with ways to earn virtual currency for free rather than having to pay for it, and to give them the choice of spending that currency wherever they'd like within our vast network." Right off the bat, players that head to GamePoints.com are going to have plenty of options for what offers/surveys they want to engage with. The deals come from big name retailers such as Macy's, Overstock, Gap, Buy.com, Snapfish, McAfee, Eastern Mountain Sports, CostPlus, Netflix, Disney, Discover Card, New York Times, DirecTV and thousands more.Â Users can also complete surveys with Nielsen, comScore, Synovate and others. From the press release, we also see how GamePoints can help advertisers and marketers: GamePoints.com represents a powerful new marketing channel for advertisers and marketers looking to conduct targeted brand building and customer acquisition campaigns. Placement is available in a wide variety of ad formats and on pay-for-performance or engagement-based pricing models.
