🎮 ICE Poker Flex Updates

ICE Poker Flex Multi-table

Ahhhhh I'm multi-tabling.

 

On Thursday, we shipped some exciting new ICE Poker Flex updates.

  • Multi-Tabling — You can now play multiple Sit-n-Go tournaments at once!
  • Pre-Select a Move — While waiting for your turn, you'll now be able to pre-select "Check/Fold" or "Call X".
  • Quality of Life Updates — Various updates such as onboarding bug fixes, gameplay enhancements, and performance improvements.

(Note: You can only be in one waiting room at a time, so you'll need to wait for your tournament to start before you can join a new table.)

📑 Marketing Strategy

Decentral Games Marketing Strategy deck

Alpha alert 🚨

 

As we double down on investing in new user growth, we wanted to share our complete marketing strategy with the community.

 

The DG Intern has you covered with the key takeaways, or you can watch Matt (CMO) talk through the strategy below.

The Opportunity

 

ICE Poker's potential is just getting started.

 

The free-to-play poker space is huge. For scale, Zynga Poker has 40+ million DAUs.

 

To achieve our mission of onboarding the next million+ players, we'll be investing heavily in three areas:

  • User acquisition
  • Building a compelling story around our brand
  • Community growth and engagement

User Acquisition

 

ICE Poker players are at the center of our universe. To grow, we need to attract a steady flow of new ones.

  • We've identified our target audiences to tailor our campaigns.
  • We'll be establishing cost benchmarks with some display advertising campaigns. (Our first ad went live this week!)
  • Product-led growth will be an important lever as we build features that promote network effects and player retention.

Building a Compelling Story Around Our Brand

 

Without a compelling story, Decentral Games is just another web3 protocol. We must stand out from the rest.

  • We'll be finalizing some of the narratives we'll be pushing and we'll have consistent storytelling threaded through all of our content.
  • We'll be building an ICE Poker Academy to offer free education on leveling up as a poker player.

Community Growth and Engagement

 

Our community is our greatest asset. Governance participation and community advocacy need to be rewarded for us to grow to the next level.

 

We're exploring various methods such as:

  • Referral programs
  • Bounties
  • Quests
  • Crown and Scepter Utility
