Built for gamers and by a gamer

For gamers, enjoying their favourite hobby often means juggling between different platforms.

They chat on social messaging channels like Discord, organise tournaments on platforms like Challonge, and buy gaming items from various websites, encountering multiple steps which makes the process cumbersome and frustrating.

Who better to build a solution for this than a Gamer; one who understands the struggle only too well? Mayokun, CEO/Co-founder of Gameporte, thought, “Surely, there should be a better way”.

And there, the idea for Gameporte was born - a simple solution that could bring everything together, making the gaming experience smoother and more enjoyable.

Partnering with Anchor: Simplifying Financial Transactions for Gamers

“Averagely, a gamer in Nigeria spends about $5 - $25 on gaming-related items a month. We needed to make financial transactions smoother and easier for our users, and that’s when we reached out to Anchor,” says Mayokun, CEO of Gameporte.

Gameporte’s key features needed a Wallet solution, integrating with Anchor was essential to building their MVP and going to market faster.

Anchor has helped Gameporte in several key ways:

1. Accounts API: This API allows Gameporte to give gamers their own wallets for easy transactions.

“Before we integrated with Anchor, we considered other providers and found the flexibility and compliance that Anchor’s APIs provided met our aspirations” - Mayokun.

With this flexibility, users can move money using just their usernames. They can make payments for games and in-game purchases with their wallets and send money to their other bank accounts in Nigeria. Anchor also ensures wallet security with PIN protection.

2. Bills Payments API: Gameporte found that gamers spend between 3,000 to 6,000 Naira on airtime each month. With Anchor's bills payment API, gamers can buy airtime and data directly on Gameporte and get 1% cashback on airtime purchases.

3. Collections: Anchor helps Gameporte collect fees from users entering paid tournaments, making the process easy and reliable. Gamers can also challenge other gamers by wagering in 1v1 matches, with Anchor handling these transactions securely.

A Winning Partnership

Integrating with Anchor has provided a reliable financial foundation for Gameporte and a more user-friendly platform for gamers.

Here are Mayokun’s 4 favourite things about building with Anchor:

• Reliability: Gamers can now easily perform transactions, making their experience smoother and hassle-free.

• Efficiency: With more efficient operations, Gameporte can focus on growing and improving the platform.

• Security: Users trust Gameporte because Anchor provides a secure environment for all transactions.
  

• Compliance: Anchor ensures that all financial activities carried out on Gameporte are done in accordance with the regulatory and compliance expectations

This partnership shows how seamless integration can drive innovation and create better experiences for users.
