• Animoca Brands (ASX: AB1) was selected as the host studio for Mobile Gaming Forum (MGF) Asia, held in Hong Kong on April 8-9, 2015. This is the first time the world-renowned event is being held in Asia. See http://www.globalmgf.com/asia/

• As host partner, Animoca Brands will be promoted heavily at the event. Animoca Brands CEO Robby Yung will also participate in panels about mobile game localization and global user acquisition strategies. 

• The event will expose Animoca Brands to mobile gaming’s elite. Up to 60 per cent of attendees at the last MGF London were C-suite mobile gaming executives. 

• The host partnership will position Animoca as a key player in Asia’s booming mobile gaming market. Research firm Newzoo estimates that Asia-Pacific accounted for 82% of global game revenue growth in 2014. MGF estimates that Asia-Pacific has almost three times more paying gamers than the US. 

• According to a 2014 BI Intelligence report, mobile games account for the largest single share of time (32%) that users spend on all mobile apps. As a result of this high level of engagement, gaming is one of the major drivers of mobile commerce.
