At 20:00 every weeknight, you\u2019ll find tens of thousands of people from every corner of the country glued to their mobile device screens in an attempt to win their share of cash and airtime, and a chance to win up to R10 000 in cash.<\/p>\n<p>A first of its kind globally, Expand is a digital game of skill that was made possible through a partnership between Nedbank and Expand. Since Expand first launched on 4 October 2021 as a web-based game, thousands of fun-loving South Africans have shared in cash and airtime prizes worth more than R5,5 million.<\/p>\n<p>According to Maude Korte, Head of Commercialisation for Nedbank Retail and Business Banking, Expand is a great example of how the bank is leveraging opportunities to partner with cutting-edge fintech and martech companies to go beyond banking. \u2018Our involvement with the Expand game is one of the ways in which we\u2019re harnessing the power of digital to deliver on our promise to help South Africans see money differently in this case, that money can be both rewarding and fun,\u2019 says Korte.<\/p>\n<p>Korte says that while the game platform has changed from web to app, Nedbank is still giving players the chance to boost the value of the cash prizes they win. \u2018We\u2019ve had over 1 000 accounts opened thus far, which means many Nedbank clients have had the opportunity to double their winnings simply by having an active Nedbank savings, current or cheque account, excluding children\u2019s accounts and MobiMoney,\u2019 she says.<\/p>\n<p>Warren Bedil, CEO and co-founder of Expand, says that the growth experienced by the platform over the past six months has not only been seen in the increasing number of players, but also in terms of the popular South African and international brands that are participating in the games. \u2018Advertisers are fast realising that Expand gives their brand valuable exposure to a captive audience of engaged consumers from all walks of life,\u2019 he adds, \u2018and as a result, we are seeing steadily rising interest from a growing number of brands that want to be part of the Expand revolution.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Expand is completely free to play and anyone over the age of 18 can participate. To be a part of the nightly Expand fun and excitement, simply download the Expand app from your app store, install it and register. Then, log in by 19:57 every Monday to Friday night so you\u2019re ready to start playing promptly at 20:00.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">114<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/over-r55-million-in-prizes-already-won-in-the-popular-expand-game-and-more-south-africans-are-playing-every-day\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
