Doha: More people in Qatar are using their smart devices to play games and enjoy mobile entertainment, with Ooredoo reporting the highest-ever level of traffic on its Gaming Portal in 2016.
Driven by the increasing penetration of smartphones plus the growing speed, coverage and capacity of the Ooredoo Supernet, Qatar is emerging as one of the leading markets in the region for online entertainment. Gaming has expanded beyond the traditional audience demographic of teenagers and young people, and now includes people from all walks of life, according to Ooredoo’s research.
The Ooredoo Gaming Portal, which was launched in February 2015, has been designed with Nazara Technologies to enable Qatar’s smartphone users to play games whenever they want. It offers subscribers the ability to download and play unlimited games on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.
Once subscribed, customers can download games onto their devices or play online without having to pay for individual games. This ‘buffet’ style of gaming has proven popular with Qatar users, as people look to try out the latest games without having to purchase every download.
Subscriptions start at just QR2 per day for a recurring daily subscription.
