RewardsForce

RewardsForce operated as a web-based loyalty management platform, specifically targeting the casino and card room industry. Founded in 2010 by Jeremy Wemple, who also served as the CEO, the company was based in Seattle, United States. The firm positioned itself as a modern alternative in the gaming loyalty space by developing software solutions that could run on readily available consumer hardware.

The company's primary product was AnteUpdates, an application designed for Apple iPads or web browsers. This product enabled casino floor managers to oversee their rewards club and manage members without the need for traditional, bulky, and expensive hardware terminals. By utilizing iPads, AnteUpdates offered a more user-friendly and cost-effective method for casinos to handle their customer loyalty programs and display crucial information. The core business model centered on providing these software solutions to casinos, transforming an iPad into a mobile customer service and loyalty management device.

RewardsForce successfully raised a total of $218,000 in funding over two rounds. The initial seed round of $18,000 occurred on November 1, 2010, with Techstars as the investor. This was followed by a larger Angel round of $200,000 on January 1, 2011, from investors including StartupAngel.net. Despite its early traction and funding, the company is now listed as inactive or deadpooled.
