An exclusive giftbot allows people throughout the world to receive a gift from Rakuten Viber with over £27M ($35M) in total prizes being given away
Today, Rakuten Viber, a messaging app used by more than one billion people worldwide, is excited to introduce an exclusive giftbot’to prove that it’s better to give than to receive! The giftbot launch marks the 9th anniversary of Viber and gives users the opportunity to spin the wheel for a chance to win special gifts: a Viber Out coupon, special discounts, vouchers from partners, or fun sticker packs. Everyone who spins the wheel gets a gift! Plus a second gift will be given to anyone that invites their friends to play along too.
In addition to prizes from Viber, over 35 partner brands are giving away prizes. Viber users have a chance to win an estimated £27M ($35M) in total prizes. Prizes are localised to each market so users in different countries will receive different offers that are applicable to them.
When Viber launched 9 years ago, it was about keeping in touch with friends and family all over the world without paying high phone bills. Today that mission remains, but has also extended into offering the most secure messaging app in the world. To celebrate that mission, we want our users to join in the fun and spin to win.
“The team at Viber wanted to celebrate 9 years of the platform in a way that would reward the users who have taken Viber to where it is today,” said Cristina Constandache, CRO, Viber. “We’re especially grateful that many of our brand partners are joining in to offer prizes on the giftbot to reward the loyal audiences that they have built up on Viber.”
