Leading Nigerian mobile gaming
company, ChopUp has partnered with Paga, Nigeria’s preferred digital
financial services company, to launch Africa’s first mobile eSports platform.
This service, which kicks off on the 4th of December 2017, will
afford gamers the opportunity to compete for bragging rights and win cash
prizes daily. The first game is “Monkey Post” Street Soccer -
building on the love we all have for football and childhood memories of playing
on the streets.
Speaking on the partnership,
ChopUp Co-Founder, Zubair Abubakar, stated “At ChopUp, we keep coming up with innovative ways to keep game lovers
entertained and to show off their skills doing what they love. This is another
platform for participants to meet each other and have fun while winning cool
cash prizes”
Paga Founder and CEO, TayoOviosu said “We love to
support forward-looking companies like ChopUp who are
creating new ways for Nigerians to engage with their mobile
phones. ChopUp is taking advantage of Paga Connect, our one-click
payments solution to offer in-app payments. With Paga Connect any 3rd
party developer or company can implement one-click payments in their
application without needing to worry about the core payments
infrastructure. At Paga we see our work as building the base
payments and financial services infrastructure that others can leverage to
deliver their services.”
The platform will kick off with ChopUp’s latest
game, ‘Monkey Post’ with other titles to be launched in the near
future. This game is currently open to residents in Nigeria and all gamers will
need to open a Paga account.
Players can track their progress
through a leaderboard and can compete for the top position every day of the
week from. Daily competitions run between 8am- 8pm every day of the week
with an entry fee of N50 for a one-time pass and N200 for an all-day
pass. The entry fee for each player will be added to the default N10,000
prize pool so the more people who participate, the higher the cash
prizes.
