Millions of CPI dollars up for grabs

GREE, Kabam, Crowdstar and Booyah add to user acquisition frenzy offering direct deals with Chartboost
Taking advantage of the large amount of marketing money that's being pumped into user acquisition, Chartboost has announced four new partnerships.

User-hungry publishers GREE, Kabam, Crowdstar and Booyah have joined Pocket Gems and TinyCo in launching their own dedicated offers within the monetisation network, which boast over 5,000 developers and access to over three billion game sessions per month.

Developers can sign up their in-game inventory through each company's direct deal Kiosk using the Chartboost dashboard.

Each publisher is offering a slightly different deal.

Crowdstar's budget is $1 million, which will be split between the top 20 developers - earning up to $50,000 - based on number of installs driven to Crowdstar games.

Kabam is offering up to $30,000 per developer promoting its games on iOS in US, Canada, UK, Australia, France and Germany.

GREE is offering up to $3.50 per install with no revenue cap for developers who promote its games Zombie Jombie, Dino Life, Modern War, Crime City and Kingdom Age on iOS and Android.

Booyah is offering $2 per install for its iOS games No Zombies Allowed and My Town 2 in the US, UK and France, and $1.75 per install in Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland.

Money for nothing?

As a comparison, back in July, when it announced its direct deal, TinyCo was offering $2.50 per Kindle Fire game install in the US and UK and $2 per install in other countries.

"These Kiosks give mobile game developers an easy way to generate significant revenue by advertising other hit mobile games from developers who, between now and the holiday season, will have multiple million dollar advertising budgets," explained Chartboost CEO Maria Alegre.
