About Game Mine

GameMine is a mobile game publisher founded in 2017 by Daniel Starr, Flaviu Rus, and Michael Harman. Inspired by subscription services like Netflix and Spotify, the company aimed to address common frustrations in mobile gaming, such as in-app purchases and intrusive advertisements. The company operates on a subscription-based model, providing users access to a library of over 1,600 fully unlocked, ad-free mobile games for a single flat fee.

The company's business model involves developing, licensing, and acquiring mobile games to offer a diverse catalog to consumers. Revenue is generated through these subscriptions, which are often facilitated through direct carrier billing partnerships with international mobile operators. This strategy has enabled GameMine to expand its services to over 135 countries, partnering with carriers like Orange, Vodafone, and Telefónica. Their game library includes titles from well-known brands such as Viacom, Nickelodeon, Capcom, and Square Enix, featuring popular games like 'Hitman Sniper' and 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Half-Shell Heroes'.

In 2017, GameMine secured $20 million in a Series A funding round led by Palisades Venture Capital. The company is headquartered in Los Angeles, California, with additional offices in Romania. It operates under its parent entity, Digital Distribution Group, which has expanded its focus beyond gaming to include wellness and inspirational content.
