Play the game.
When playing Mowjow, players have the option to either play for free or to play prize and cash tournaments using either free tickets or cash fees. Free tickets could be obtained by winning challenges, connecting new players. One entry fee, either free ticket or cash, buys a player entry into a Mowjow game round, where they will compete against 1 or 9 other players, and the clock, to answer a series of multiple-choice questions, which each asks a player to name where, what or who is in the image on the screen.
When a player chooses to play any tournaments, the first thing they must do is into a challenge round. A challenging round works in exactly the same way as other game rounds, apart from the fact that there are only two players. The winner of the round, however, earns the opportunity to move along on their journey towards the prize and cash tournaments. With the challenge round out of the way, the performances of the players are evaluated by the number of correct answers that each gave, as well as how quickly they gave those answers and place them on a leader board.
Challenge rounds.
Within a given timeframe, any player can challenge the player who tops the leader board, in an attempt to take their crown. The maximum number of challenges is currently three per game round, so it’s a case of fastest finger first if a player fancies their chances of taking the prize or cash on offer. When players no longer wish to challenge the leader, the time limit runs out or the number of challenges hits three, the person who is on top of the leader board wins that particular round. The game round will officially close; the winner then can play at the next level unless of course the round in question is a final round for that prize.
Keeping the grey stretched.
We strive to ensure that the questions served to Mowjow’s players are always both accessible and challenging. And keeping that balance right is something that we have chosen to engrain into our technology. Firstly, our system is engineered in such a way that no player will ever receive the same set of questions twice. All questions are graded as easy, moderate or difficulta nd when a players climb the ladder, the blend of questions presented to a given group, subsequently, will become progressively more challenging. We don’t just give prizes away; we expect our players to earn them, by proving their intelligence and finding their Mowjow.

Mowjow operates three types of product verticals; a free daily prize draw, freemium prize tournaments and premium cash tournaments. In concert, these verticals are attractive player acquisition and retention funnels while also incorporating attractive premium features that generate revenue. It is a so-called freemium business model.
Free daily prize draw.
In front, we have a free daily prize draw functioning as player acquisition and retention engine. This is an entirely free draw where the players can win daily prizes just by signing up or connecting and challenging players.
Freemium prize tournaments.
The freemium game is the prize tournaments. To enter these tournaments, the players need to pay an entrance fee in the form of free tickets or cash entrance fees. The players obtain free tickets in two ways; either by connecting new players or winning challenges against other players. Cash entrance fees are withdrawn directly from the player’s balance.The prize tournaments consist of various levels, ranging from four to eight levels. The first level is a challenge between two players while then remaining levels are battles between ten players. There is one winner on each level that proceeds to fight on the next level and ultimately wins the prize.
Premium cash tournaments.
The cash tournaments are where you can win cash prizes ranging from €10 upwards to life changing jackpots of €100,000 and even €1 million. These cash tournaments consist of various game levels ranging from three to eight levels. The first level is a challenge between two players while the remaining levels are battles between ten players. There is one winner on each level that proceeds to fight on the next level and ultimately wins the cash prize.
Premium services.
Complementing the games, we have two other premium services; cash rewards and premium connect. With these two services, the players could unlock the potential of receiving cash rewards, as well as connect with orphan players.
Engrained in our strategy is to be constantly rewarding for our players. Therefore, we have developed Cash rewards a very rewarding crowd marketing concept where 30% of the gross revenue is funnelled back to the players to reward them for connecting and engaging new players.
Many players join Mowjow without being referred by any other player. These players are so-called “orphans” directly connected to us as the operator. Being connected to other players represent a potential value in the form of cash rewards. We like our players to be rewarded. Therefore, we have created a the marketplace Premium connect where serious marketers can connect with players that have not been referred by any other player. As these connections represent potential cash rewards, they are a premium service.
Advertising revenue.
These prize tournaments will also be huge traffic boosters as the players will rush to use all their free tickets to win attractive prizes. Advertising will monetize this traffic. Advertisements on mobiles in a game like this is very powerful and direct. Ads will have the players’ full attention when they are funnelled through ad pages to start the prize games.
Profitable.
The business is highly profitable. With a Life Time Value (net) of around €22.00, and an average CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost) of around €9.50, the profit is projected to around €12.50 per player. These estimates are made for the first three months. In the more long-term perspective, we estimate a profit margin above 20%.
High value creation.
In the first months, there is also a huge value appreciation of the company. With 25,000 paying players, the share value is expected to double from €0.30 to €0.60. At 100,000 paying players the share value will be around €2.40, or 800% more than today. An ultimate success of 3m paying players will give share values upwards of €80 and an enterprise value north of €2b.
Modelling success.
We have seen successful trailblazers like King, Minecraft and SuperCell raking in humongous profits and getting landmark valuations way beyond our wildest dreams. So yes, it possible to scale and succeed. Make sure you are there from the beginning.

We will enter the market in two phases maximum 30 days after the financing is secured:
Phase I – Commercial launch.
The goal of the commercial launch phase is to enter the market and establish an initial player base upwards of 1 million total players and 100,000 paying players. Furthermore, we expect to become self-sufficient and cash positive in this phase. Execution of this phase starts already when we have obtained €500,000 of new funding.
Phase II – Growth and expansion.
The first step will lead the way to the second stage of substantial growth and expansion. We have obtained a Letter of Intent to raise upwards of €5 million in growth funding subject to a satisfactory commercial launch. With such influx of funds, we will rapidly be able to grow our business in several key markets and profoundly establish a global brand.
Please learn more about each of these phases below.
The commercial launch phase.
We are raising upwards of €1 million for commercial launch and we will execute the plans when €500,000 of additional funding has been secured. The funding will be used for free prizes (50%), digital marketing campaigns (30%) and operations (20%).
This is a three-month plan that is estimated to cost €300,000 monthly, but the launch will also ignite the revenue engine, and we expect to accumulate more than €500,000 in profit during this phase. In the third month, we expect to reach €1.5 million in monthly gross revenue from 100,000 paying players with an ARPPU of €15 each.
Based on our retention profile, the player lifetime is estimated to 3 months, with a net lifetime value of €22 each. The average customer acquisition costs are projected to €9.50, thus returning a profitable acquisition margin of €12.50 per player.
A good launch will create enormous shareholder values. Already with 25,000 paying players the value is estimated to be €0.60 per share. When we reach 100,000 paying players the value will be €2.40 per share. That is 800% more than the offering price of €0.30 today.
These valuation estimates use industry factors like a P/E of 20 (Nasdaq≈22.75) and a gross revenue multiplication of four (≈King’s valuation).
Cash flow wise we are able to pull it off the launch with €500,000, but we have decided to accept investments upwards of €1 million to make sure we have some extra leeway.
In the table below you will find detailed estimates for the commercial launch phase.

When we reach 100,000 paying players the value will be €2.40 per share. That is 800% more than the offering price of €0.30 today.……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
The growth and expansion phase.
With a satisfactory commercial launch, we will be able to raise substantial funding at a much higher valuation than today. Based on industry appreciation and discussions with corporate financiers, we expect to nearly tenfold the value with a successful launch before embarking on a larger round of funding (if ever required?).
Considering that we have secured a Letter of Intent to raise another €5 million for this phase, we have taken into account a net cash injection of €4.5 million (after funding cost).
In this phase, our estimates incorporate significant use of funds in providing free tickets to a rapidly growing player base. There is also considered substantial expenses in expanding the operations and development. Hence, we expect to operate cash negative during the first six months; leaving us with a balance cash margin of €2.5 million.
After six months, the business will start to return considerable profits. The share value is estimated to grow from €5 towards in excess of €50 as the company will be highly profitable and have a significant value.
Please take into account that the business of interactive gaming normally involves very high volumes of monies being transacted. With a large portion of its gross revenue being returned to the players, we also have high levels of gross revenues.
In the table below you will find detailed estimates for the growth and expansion phase.

Regulations
Prize based tournaments in games of skill are not considered gambling because the accepted definition of gambling involves three specific things; the award of a prize, paid-in consideration, and an outcome determined by chance. Without all these elements, a money based competition is not gambling and thereby legal in most jurisdictions.
Taxation
Mowjow legally operates from the UK and HM Revenue and Customs does not regard winnings as income. Income taxes are assessed on profits or gains from any trade, profession, employment or vocation. Gaming is not a trade, as no services are exchanged between operators and players. The same rules apply to most of the jurisdictions within the European Union. In general, the winners in Mowjow are responsible and liable for any taxation of winnings and we recommend players to consult their local tax authority for more information about the rules and regulations in their local area.
Fulfilment
Mowjow will award prizes in form of gadgets, escapes, cars and cash to its winners. Gadgets will be delivered directly to the winner from major online merchants like Amazon. Travel prizes will in the beginning be provided by Escape travel agency in Norway and Sweden. When cars are introduced as prizes, they will be delivered by local dealerships. Cash winnings are transferred to the winners’ accounts with Mowjow immediately and could be withdrawn without any restrictions. In general, all prizes will be pre-paid or otherwise financially guaranteed by Mowjow prior to any tournament starts.
