MONTREAL, Jan. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Mistplay, a leading play-and-earn rewards and loyalty program for mobile gamers, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Connected Rewards(TM) platform and related assets from Mobivity Holdings Corp. (OTCQB: MFON), a platform that drives customer engagement for brands through gaming and rewards. The transaction is expected to close in early Q1 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. Once completed, the acquisition will expand Mistplay's LoyaltyPlay business, creating new opportunities for app publishers to deliver loyalty experiences via mobile gaming that span both digital and real-world engagement.

Together, the platforms provide a unified omnichannel toolkit that creates new opportunities for game publishers to reach incremental audiences. For brands, LoyaltyPlay drives deep digital engagement, while Connected Rewards links gameplay to measurable, real-world incentives that help drive repeat behavior, traffic, and spend.

"By bringing Connected Rewards into Mistplay's B2B product suite, we're bringing brands more options to engage users in meaningful and personal ways, in all the channels that brands touch their customers: in-app, in the real world, and everywhere in between. This acquisition opens new opportunities to reimagine how brands build loyalty and build authentic relationships with their audiences via mobile gaming."
