‘THE SPECIAL YOU’: Jackpot World’s New Project to Strengthen Community Connections

Published

on

LOS ANGELES, June 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — To strengthen the connection between players and the game studio, Jackpot World has launched the first video of the new player story sharing project called ‘The Special You’. This initiative aims to establish a deeper connection with players and foster a sense of companionship.

Since its launch in 2018, Jackpot World, a leading social casino game, has provided millions of players with enjoyable leisure time. With over 80 million registered players and 30 million recommendations worldwide, it has become one of the most popular online slot game platforms globally.

A Unique Opportunity for Players to Share Their Stories with the World

‘The Special You’ is not about finding unusual stories but recognizing that everyone has unique experiences. This project offers players the chance to connect with Jackpot World’s official team and a wider audience, sharing their stories with the world.

In February of this year, Jackpot World’s official social media accounts launched “The Special You” player story submission campaign, which received widespread support and participation from players. Since the announcement of this project, many players have reached out to Jackpot World’s official team, sharing their personal experiences and connecting with others.

The response from players has been overwhelming, with countless submissions pouring in from all over the world. The Jackpot World team has been moved by the unique and heartfelt stories shared by players. Many of the stories shared have been deeply personal, touching on themes such as love, loss, perseverance, and hope. Through “The Special You,” players have found a platform to express themselves and connect with others, forging new friendships and building a sense of community.

Overall, “The Special You” has been a tremendous success, bringing players and the Jackpot World team closer together and fostering a strong sense of camaraderie and support. As the project continues, Jackpot World eagerly anticipates hearing more stories from players and continuing to build a dynamic, inclusive community of players from all walks of life.

Corporate Social Responsibility: Being the Game Company That Puts Players First

Through the process of communicating with players, the members of Jackpot World were deeply moved and they consider it a valuable experience for everyone involved.

“At Jackpot World, we believe that the small moments of joy we bring to players on a daily basis can add up to a significant impact, even if we may not be the biggest surprise in their lives. This is our studio’s philosophy, and it’s what we strive to achieve every day,” said Aida Lang, the Project Manager at Jackpot World.

The Producer at Jackpot World stated that the studio has always been searching for a new type of relationship between players and game studios. Unlike traditional studios that simply provide games for players to play, they are trying to establish a deeper connection with players that is more like a friendship. They communicate with players through the game and social media, and they help each other out. They believe that this project is not only about strengthening the connection between their game company and players, but also about strengthening the connections between people.

The team of Jackpot World believes that being a responsible game company means putting players first. The team is committed to creating a safe and enjoyable gaming environment that fosters a sense of community and support. Through “The Special You” project, the Jackpot World team hopes to inspire others to share their unique stories and connect with others, building a stronger, more compassionate world.

Published

on

By

SINGAPORE, May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Rently, a Singapore-based prop-tech platform that lets tenants rent deposit-free while paying landlords on time every month, has closed a US$3 million Pre-Series A led by impact investor Orange BloomHustle Fund, Woh Hup, Feedback Ventures, and 5i Ventures re-upped in the round, which values Rently at US$43 million.

Following this success, Rently is now targeting the close of its Series A funding round by the end of the year, positioning itself to further expand its market footprint and accelerate product development.

Rently: Redefining the Asian Rental Market

Founded in 2022, Rently is now establishing in the UAE and will enter Hong Kong this year. The long-term rental market across Asia is worth more than US$250 billion annually and largely still relies on security deposits and manual processes. Rently is transforming the industry through technology and innovative solutions such as:

Zero deposits, zero friction – Tenants subscribe to Rently Care and move in without locking up two months’ cash.Guaranteed income – Rently Pay ensures landlords receive the full rent on the due date, even if a tenant pays late or defaults.Fully managed – The Rently app covers listings process, contracts, maintenance and insurance in one seamless platform.

Nikesh Kshirsagar, Co-Founder of Orange Bloom, said, “Rently isn’t just another tech startup, it has a deep understanding of future lifestyle trends, strategic corporate partnerships, and a world-class tech platform that simplifies the rental process for users. Orange Bloom firmly believes that Rently is positioned to reshape the rental market, creating efficiencies while integrating responsible, sustainable housing solutions. The co-founders, Dominic, Siebren, Tarik, Emeric, and Kutlay, have done an excellent job assembling a talented, forward-thinking team where innovation thrives. We look forward to being part of Rently’s exciting journey ahead.”

Fund Allocation and Growth Plans

With the proceeds from the Pre-Series A round, Rently plans to accelerate its expansion strategy by scaling Rently Pay across its existing markets, ensuring more landlords benefit from guaranteed, on-time rental income. The company will also localise its platform to support market entry into Hong Kong and two additional Asian cities. To support this development, Rently is also doubling the size of its product and data teams to ensure the platform can scale efficiently.

Dominic Schacher, Co-Founder of Rently, expressed his enthusiasm for the next phase of growth, stating, “We are thrilled to welcome Orange Bloom as our strategic partner. Their investment and expertise will be instrumental in accelerating our growth and expanding our product offerings. Together, we will continue revolutionising the rental market, making it more efficient, transparent, and accessible for everyone.”

Existing investor 5i Ventures also reaffirmed its support for Rently’s development. Dieter Schlosser, General Partner of 5i Ventures, Board Member, and Key Investor in Rently, shared his perspective on the round’s success. “The oversubscription of this round is a proof point of the trajectory Rently, and the leadership team have demonstrated. We are very excited to have the new investors on board. The first data points from our geographic expansion to the UAE clearly show the portability of the business model and the scalability of the platform,” said Schlosser, who previously served as CEO of SoftwareONE.

Orange Bloom’s Role and Strategic Partnership

The partnership between Rently and Orange Bloom highlights the influence of impact-driven investment in reshaping industries and demonstrates how strategic investments can drive systemic change in traditional sectors. Orange Bloom’s entry into the proptech and fintech spaces through its investment in Rently reinforces its ongoing commitment to supporting sustainable-focused business models. The collaboration aligns closely with Orange Bloom’s Sustainability Fund, which has been active since 2022 and has backed numerous projects focused on sustainability and social impact.
