Esports & Gaming Venues business model needs an urgent upgrade. LOUNGE provides a significant new revenue stream, new sales channel and a better way to retain customers.
We have been there
Since Kinguin’s inception back in 2013 as a global leading digital video games marketplace with more than 60mil. users in 2019, we have branched our company to two physical locations in Poland.
Through our own operations of the Esports Performance Center in Warsaw and the Kinguin Esports Lounge in Gdansk we know what it’s like to operate a physical venue in today’s environment. We realize many - if not most - other venues are facing the same issues. We were fortunate enough to have the power of our marketplace Kinguin.net behind us. Today we bring this benefit to you as well.
By joining LOUNGE - at no cost - you will be able to turn your fortunes around or ultimately support your next growth plans. We will divert new users your way. Make sure they are there to stay with you and support your business.
The world’s first global membership program for Esports fans worldwide. Now open for business sign-ups!
