About Mistplay and LoyaltyPlay

Mistplay is the category creator and leader in the 'play-and-earn' mobile loyalty space, built to reward gamers for playing.

LoyaltyPlay is our B2B monetization platform, a powerful Gaming Reward Hub designed for mobile app Publishers. We partner with app owners (e.g., utility, commerce, or entertainment apps) to help them unlock a new, consistent revenue stream and boost user engagement. By integrating LoyaltyPlay, publishers can offer their users rewards (in-app currency) for installing and playing mobile games from our vast advertiser network. This creates a deep engagement loop and a powerful monetization channel for the publisher.

This is a high-impact role selling a differentiated, performance-based monetization solution to a global mobile app audience.
