Reasons to Invest
Overview
Gameflip is a leading marketplace powered by advanced technology that ensures simple, safe transactions for all things digital. Gameflip offers gamers the ability to “flip” their gaming items and assets. We’ve already achieved sales on our platform of $160M+ to date, with $10M raised from Silicon Valley VCs, and over 6 million users and are already working with emerging technologies like blockchain and Web3 gaming.
By 2023, sales of digital in-game items are expected to make up 77% of yearly revenue for the $204B gaming industry. Our technology has been optimized for the last 7 years and is positioned to address this billion-dollar market opportunity.

Validated by an industry shift towards an open, player-owned gaming ecosystem, our team has continued developing the capabilities of the Gameflip platform. Our unique, in-house commerce infrastructure already accommodates transactions for digital gaming items and assets.
The Problem
Today, gamers purchase billions of dollars worth of digital gaming items, while earning even more items by investing countless hours playing their favorite games.
(source)
Due to the technology limitations of current games, the value of these digital items are locked within the associated games and only a tiny percentage can be traded or resold amongst gamers. Because of this, many will lose the vast majority of their investment as soon as they stop playing a game.
Gameflip has provided a solution for gamers to transact their digital goods since their launch in 2015, bringing millions of gamers together to buy, sell, and trade these digital items.
Looking to the future, Gameflip’s technology is forward-compatible, whether it’s blockchain or AI, the platform was built to be extensible with these emerging technologies. Gameflip believes that commercial blockchain technology can be integral to player-owned economies in the future of the gaming industry. Clear ownership, verifiable authenticity, and ease of transferability will provide valuable and equitable benefits to the entire ecosystem.
The Market
The $175B global games market is undergoing a massive evolution. Key players within the gaming industry such as EA, Ubisoft, and Square Enix have announced major recent strategies and investments into blockchain-based games. The free-to-play model has become a lucrative strategy for many game publishers, as an expected 77% of yearly revenues will come from digital in-game items by 2023.
Investments into blockchain game development have grown exponentially, with $2.5B invested in Q1 of 2022 along with hundreds of millions more from blockchain technology companies such as Binance, Solana, and Polygon. As such, the blockchain-based gaming market is forecasted to grow at a breakneck pace from $1.5B in 2021 to an incredible $50B by 2025.
The GAMEFLIP Solution
Gameflip has launched a cutting-edge marketplace platform that enables gamers to buy and sell digital assets including in-game items, gaming assets, collectibles and games through simple, safe transactions. While current digital asset marketplaces have complex transactions and security challenges, Gameflip is a proven commerce solution that provides an intuitive checkout flow with built-in consumer protection for mainstream users.
Gameflip employs a marketplace business model, generating revenue from both buyers and sellers for each completed transaction on its platform. Revenue is generated from buyer purchase fees, seller sales commission and seller cashout fees.
Looking forward, as a compliment to their proven marketplace solution for traditional video gaming items, Gameflip will power the growth of the gaming industry by delivering a full suite of blockchain-based products and services to enable gamers, creators, brands, and developers to connect, safely conduct commerce, and mutually share the benefits.
As gaming evolves, Gameflip is poised to stay at the forefront of any emerging technology.
Our Traction
Even with limited tradability of digital items in games today Gameflip has seen extraordinary success to date. We have facilitated more than $160 million in lifetime sales (GMV), with $25.8 million in 2022 alone. Our community consists of more than 6 million registered users, who have created over 40 million listings. Meanwhile, the Gameflip app has received a combined 3 million downloads across the Apple and Android stores.
But most notably, we’ve been validated by product experts and investors. We’ve already raised over $10 million from Silicon Valley VCs including Bullpen Capital, GoAhead Ventures, PlayNext, and LightBank.
Why Invest
Our flexible marketplace provides gamers a safe, secure ecosystem to trade and sell their digital assets, and with an easy-to-use platform. Gameflip was built to stay ahead of emerging technologies like blockchain-based gaming, and we are securing partnerships with game developers and publishers.
Currently in development, our white label B2B commerce solution will include developer-friendly API access to features such as account management, digital wallets, payment, security, fraud detection systems, financial compliance, and marketplace functionality.

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.

Investing in private company securities is not suitable for all investors. An investment in private company securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. It should only be considered a long-term investment. You must be prepared to withstand a total loss of your investment. Private company securities are also highly illiquid, and there is no guarantee that a market will develop for such securities. Each investment also carries its own specific risks, and you should complete your own independent due diligence regarding the investment. This includes obtaining additional information about the company, opinions, financial projections, and legal or other investment advice. Accordingly, investing in private company securities is appropriate only for those investors who can tolerate a high degree of risk and do not require a liquid investment.

SE BB enables shareholders to communicate interest in potential sales of shares in private companies and investors to discover, review, and potentially invest in private companies. As a bulletin board platform, SE BB provides a venue for investors to access information about private company offerings and connect with potential sellers. SE BB is distinct and separate from StartEngine Secondary (“SE Secondary”), which is an SEC-registered Alternative Trading System (ATS) operated by SE Primary. SE Secondary facilitates the trading of securities by matching orders between buyers and sellers and facilitating executions of trades on the platform. While a security may be displayed on the bulletin board, these securities will be subject to certain restrictions which may prevent the ability to buy and sell these securities in a timely manner, if at all. Even if a security is qualified to be displayed on the bulletin board, there is no guarantee an active trading market for the securities will ever develop, or if developed, be maintained. You should assume that you may not be able to liquidate your investment for some time or be able to pledge these shares as collateral.
