This month's Monetization & Business Models category includes 3 filed patent applications from Doooga Tec Pte.
(1), Koodbee (1), and Pilot Games (1). The patents describe technologies for alternative monetization approaches in gaming and content platforms. Doooga Tec's application covers an ad-reward system that compensates video uploaders with virtual currency and executes token buybacks on exchanges. Koodbee's filing describes a dual virtual currency architecture that distinguishes between purchased and earned currency to enable real-money redemptions within regulatory frameworks, while Pilot Games' application details a mobile tournament system combining wagering bingo with skill-based hunting mini-games for charitable gaming venues.
Doooga Tec Pte. received 1 patent for a creator monetization platform that ties advertising revenue to cryptocurrency mechanics. The system distributes virtual tokens to video uploaders as compensation for ad impressions, then uses a portion of ad revenue to repurchase those same tokens on open exchanges. This dual mechanism attempts to create upward price pressure on the token while rewarding creators, linking traditional ad monetization to on-chain token economics in a closed loop.
Pilot Games received 1 patent describing a mobile bingo platform that layers skill-based gameplay onto charitable wagering tournaments. The system allows players to participate in hunting-style mini-games that provide competitive engagement and entertainment value without affecting the underlying prize distribution, ensuring that less skilled players remain on equal footing in the monetary stakes. The platform connects multiple charitable gaming venues through live-hosted tournaments with progressive jackpots, combining social virtual world elements with compliance-focused wagering mechanics.
Koodbee received 1 patent for a virtual currency architecture that segregates purchased currency from earned currency to meet gambling regulation requirements. The system applies prioritization rules that determine which currency pool is consumed or replenished during gameplay transactions, with logic designed to preserve purchased currency for real-money redemption pathways while drawing down earned currency first. This approach embeds compliance constraints into the transaction engine itself, treating regulatory distinctions as native features of the currency flow rather than post-hoc limitations.
