Self-installed PlayAbly Games to capture email. Won-list spike convinced the brand to run their first Rebate (Big Game). 18.25× ROAS. Now running Ads off the same creative.
One platform.
One growth loop.
Three plays.
You don't buy three products on day one. You start with one play, see it work, and stack on the next. Rebates makes the moment. Games keeps the audience playing. Ads scales the story. Then the loop closes back to a new Rebate.
How the three plays connect.
The whole point of "one platform" is that each play makes the next one better. Your headline Rebate creates the moment. That audience flows into always-on Games. Your best Game format becomes a playable Ad. Your highest-CTR Ad drives new players back to the next Rebate.
Gamified Rebates.
The headline act.
Customers pay full price. If a real-world trigger hits — snow on Christmas, the Big Game going to overtime, your team in the playoffs — they get 100% cashback. PlayAbly assumes the risk. The brand never pays out-of-pocket.

Games.
Keep them playing.
The always-on engagement layer. A merchant downloads PlayAbly from the Shopify App Store, picks a game format (spin-to-win, swipe-to-shop, product matchup), and the experience is live the same day. No campaign, no contract, no risk.
Ads.
Scale what worked.
Your best-performing Game becomes a playable ad. The mechanic that just earned attention on your site now earns attention before the click. Customers play first, click second. CAC drops. Quality goes up.
