MONTREAL, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ – Mistplay, a leading play-and-earn rewards and loyalty platform for mobile gamers, today announced the acquisition of MyChips SRL, a subsidiary of MAF, a global rewarded advertising platform. With this acquisition, Mistplay accelerates the expansion of its network, strengthening its positioning as a leader in rewarded advertising.
Rewarded advertising has rapidly become a core channel for mobile user acquisition, delivering high-intent users across the full funnel and driving measurable gains in retention, engagement, and monetization performance. The addition of MyChips further expands Mistplay’s LoyaltyPlay global partner network – unlocking new supply for advertisers.
MyChips is active across hundreds of apps across North America, APAC and Europe, providing advertisers with access to new and incremental audiences. Integrated into Mistplay’s LoyaltyPlay network, it expands the company’s rewarded experiences across a broader network of apps. The result is greater scale in delivering high-intent users, along with more flexibility for advertisers to drive acquisition, engagement, and long-term ROAS.
“For a decade, Mistplay has led the industry in proving that rewarding users for their time delivers superior outcomes across the board – deeper player engagement, breakthrough performance for advertisers, and a thriving ecosystem. The MAF team shares that conviction and has built an exceptional business around it. Together, we’re cementing the rewarded model as the future of advertising and setting a new standard for what this category can achieve for advertisers, publishers, and users alike.” — Tricia Han, CEO of Mistplay
We looked at a lot of paths forward for MAF, but Mistplay stood out because our visions are fundamentally aligned, with loyalty and long-term user value at the core of rewarded advertising. What set them apart is the trust they’ve built at scale over the past decade. There’s a natural fit between our products and a shared sense of where this space is going. That’s the right home for what we’ve built. — Riccardo Fuzzi, CEO of MAF
The MyChips platform remains fully operational, with teams across Europe and APAC joining Mistplay to support partners.
