LOS ANGELES, CA - February 17, 2021
- Versus Systems Inc. (“Versus”) (Nasdaq: VS) (CSE:VS) (FRANKFURT:BMVB) today announced a partnership agreement with Xcite Interactive (“Xcite”), a world leader in interactive audience engagement. Audiences will be able to win real-world prizes while watching sports, playing mobile games, and watching streams on their TVs and mobile devices.
Xcite’s technology has powered interactive media experiences for major sports leagues like the NFL, NBA, NHL MLB, and NCAA, as well as events like the Olympics, the World Cup, X-Games, Formula1, and corporate events around the world. The interactive media platform has delivered experiential fan engagement for over 150 major sports teams and innovative entertainment partners, broadcasting on television, on OTT services, on custom websites, or on streaming platforms like YouTube and Twitch.
Under the partnership agreement, Versus will provide its patented rewards technology for use in both at-home and in-venue projects with Xcite, allowing fans to earn real prizes through Xcite’s platform, which includes gamification through voting, polling, trivia, predictive gaming, and mini-games that fans can play alongside the live event experience.
