How come your footer links (T&Cs, socials, AdChoices??? etc.) are links to the home page? Seems a little suspect? For peace of mind, it would be great to see them updated. Thanks.
Derek Pankaew
@zambrella101 - Apologies for that, we pushed an update just before PH launch and something went wrong with the footer. We've fixed the issue, here are the links you're looking for: https://mythra.com/contest-rules... https://mythra.com/terms.html https://mythra.com/privacy-polic...

Looks like you're applying the concept of lootboxes to credit card use. There's nothing at the website showing the odds for each thing. Is this even legal?
Derek Pankaew
Thanks for asking! We post the exact chances of winning each item on our website (see "Contest Rules" in the footer.) As far as legality, our lawyers assure us we're in the clear, and many other companies operate with similar mechanisms.

@derekpankaew what about the obvious ethical issue? How do you feel about "lootboxing" a credit card and asking people to spend more using challenges, would you say this is similar to gambing (as the UK suggest we should: https://publications.parliament....)?

This is cool - do you plan to support mobile games too? Microtransactions in mobile only games don't seem to be currently supported
Derek Pankaew
@lanre_akinyemi Hi Lanre! We'll want to support whichever games are most popular. Part of the issue with mobile games is there's often no easy mechanism for us to "gift" items. For example in Fortnite or Apex, we can easily send you vBucks or coins, but in a mobile game like Candy Crush we'd have to make a direct partnership with the publisher. So it makes it more work for us to get a feature like that implemented. It's on the roadmap, but it's further down the line currently.
Lanre Akinyemi
@lanre_akinyemi @derekpankaew Gotcha that makes sense. Maybe you can look at groups like EA who make a whole bunch of games for a top --> down strategy.
Derek Pankaew
@lanre_akinyemi That 100% makes sense! Just out of curiosity, were there any specific mobile games you wanted us to support?
Lanre Akinyemi
@lanre_akinyemi @derekpankaew Probably not because I'd probably spend farrrrrr too much 🙀 If you insisted though, Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes and Marvel Strike Force are my faves
Derek Pankaew
@lanre_akinyemi Awesome, thank you! I'll keep an eye on those to potentially support in the future :) I'll also take those games for a spin!

This just looks like predatory gamification. Shame.
Erik Dunteman
@jagomagi IMO it's just like airline miles, but something that gamers actually care about. Credit cards already do this. First time use rewards, etc. I'm excited by this personally.
Jay Rosenkrantz
@jagomagi this comment is predatory gamification of a startup founder's soul. Shame
Gabe Perez
Congrats on the launch @ericlafleche! This is exciting for the gaming community. I like the idea of supporting microtransactions for mobile games as @ lanre_akinyemi mentioned. It'd be great if could update your bottom site links & social links on the home page once available so we can follow your progress and get more deets.
Derek Pankaew
@gabe__perez We updated our footer, apologies for the confusion that caused. I'm curious - are there any specific mobile games you'd want us to support?
Gabe Perez
@derekpankaew Among Us for hats, pets, etc would be brilliant!
Derek Pankaew
@gabe__perez That's a great idea! Once we have a larger userbase we'll want to parter with companies like Among Us to give prizes. At the moment we can only give prizes that we can purchase & gift directly, like Fortnite vBucks (which we can give users a code for.) But we'll definitely want to do that in the future!

Promising app for the gaming community! Would love to see more information. I've added some feedback over the landing page - hope it helps!
Ivan Zenkovich
Wow, you awesome guys! We are making a product for gamers too 👾 Congrats and wish you all best, mates!
Derek Pankaew
@ivan_zenkovich Thanks Ivan! I took a look at Skitch, looks pretty awesome, I'll probably give it a try :)
Dave Lynam
The screenshot on the homepage shows a Mastercard logo. Is this technically a Mastercard credit card?
Anna Van Tuinen
First of all, I LOVE the idea of receiving credit card points that are tailored to what people actually want (airline miles are pointless when I won't be traveling for the foreseeable future!) I'm curious if you'll be launching niche cards to other demographics (for non-gamers). I look forward to seeing how this works. Excited to see how the game-style interface works with your demographic.
Derek Pankaew
@anna_van_tuinen Great question! We will either go deeper in the gaming market, and launch other financial products for gamers (bank accounts, debit cards, etc) , *or* launch other niche credit cards to other markets. We're still figuring out which direction makes more sense, and a lot of it depends on how excited gamers are by this first product.
