PortalOne aims to deliver a “whole new category of interactive entertainment that seamlessly embeds live shows into games”
While it’s free to play, PortalOne will reward people for playing. Jackpots range from in-game unlockables, avatars, and skins, through to daily and seasonal money prizes; past PortalOne giveaways have included vacations and $5,000 cash.
Last year, the company expanded to the U.S. when it established a production studio based in Los Angeles, before launching a closed beta for American and Canadian users.
