Refereum(RFR) is a referral marketplace for games where you can earn RFR points for watching and streaming games or referring to your friends and acquintaces. This ICO has gotten a lot of atention due to the fact that they give away a lot of free points for stuff like: joining their telegram group, joining their discord group or downloading different games.

As you are able to pay with refereum points in order to buy games, a lot of gamers ( most of whom are children ) have done all these steps, started referring friends or spending a lot of time on streams in order to buy their desired games.

Main page

first page
token page

Considering the ones above, the main public are the gamers and therefore most of these people are not yet involved into the cryptocurrencies space. These said, their mainpage is designed for this audiences and it doesn't include information that a regular ICO provies like: whitepaper, team, advisors, roadmap, tokensale etc.

We can find all these information on the token page. One above the other, both of the pages look really good and it's easy to find information about team members, whitepaper, code etc. The roadmap is missing from here,though!

The main page introduction video is also really catchy and well made!

Token Economics

Did you think that is to good to be true, right? Well it is too good to be true. For an ICO the hardcap means total ammount of USD that's collected in order to finish the ICO sale. If the hardcap is too big, then the coin can't grow that much as it starts with the marketcap from the hardcap. If refereum has a 25 million USD hardcap, then it will be able to hit ~100x profit it it gets into rank 70-80 coins of the market, but we don't know what hardcap it will have :/.

So, here comes the fishy part though. There are 6 days untill the main sale starts and they hid the hardcap amount, token sale price and total tokens for sale. I will link down below a screenshot which is 1 week old and one screenshot from now with their token sale information.

Before

After

Whitepaper

They have also integrated Refereum with Twitch. That means people can livestream/ watch livestreams and get paid in Refereum points every hour. There's a further integration planned with Unity as well, which is one of the most used game engines.

Team

CEO - Dylan Jones

Engine developer - Mark Maratea

Katie Williams - Communications

Advisor - Oleksii Matiiasevych

Roadmap

Their roadmap can only be found in the whitepaper and from my point of view it is really poorly structured and it can say about the team that they're unsure about their future projects.

Community

For any official announcements be sure to check their medium page.

Final thoughts

Considering the fact that they have hid the token sale information and the fact that they kicked me from the telegram group once I started asking few questions I think that refereum still has potential but but also smells fishy.

If you plan to register for the ICO sale you need to fill in the whitelist. You need to provide some personal information like name and email in order to be able to join the ICO sale. They will choose the people from the whitelist considering their contribution on the community and other factors.

Here is the link-no referral to join refereum. If you think this blog post helped you then you can use the referral link in order to join.
