VAT in the UK, Paypal Availability, and The Third Most Funded Campaign Of All Time
2023 has been a great year both for the features of the platform that we’ve continued to add, as well as the campaigns and successes we’ve seen again and again on Gamefound.
Nemesis Campaign A Smashing Success
Nemesis Retaliation helped finish off the year for us, as the most funded campaign in the past 2 years, and the third most funded campaign of all time. And make no mistake, we’ll keep mentioning this at every opportunity. 
In all seriousness though, it continues to be a reminder of the kind of success that Gamefound continues to bring to Crowdfunding, even with the struggles we’re seeing in tabletop crowdfunding today, to achieve those numbers is an incredible accomplishment. It likely doesn’t hurt to have Stable Pledge & Stretch Pay as platform features as the following poll illustrates.
PayPal Now Available in Three Major Currencies Worldwide
PayPal Now Available in Three Major Currencies WorldwideIn an effort to make backing campaigns even more accessible, Gamefound is expanding its PayPal support to three major currencies – USD, EUR, and GBP – for backers around the globe. While this is currently still a limited feature, available to select campaigns, we’re set to make PayPal available to everyone in Q1 of the coming year. This move aligns with Gamefound's commitment to providing creators and backers with best assortment of payment options possible to help enable your success.
Gamefound VAT Handling in the UK
Starting in January, Gamefound is set to handle VAT for campaigns in the United Kingdom on top of all our other locations. This means that all campaigns on the platform will need to feature net prices, as Gamefound takes on the responsibility of managing UK VAT for EU creators. This strategic move not only simplifies the crowdfunding process but also ensures compliance with tax regulations, making it easier for creators to navigate the complexities of international crowdfunding.
Gamefound remains the only crowdfunding platform that is fully implementing regulations - our aim is to be fair, fully legal platform that will aid creators and backers as much as possible.
2023 Summary Inbound
As the year comes to a close and as the final numbers roll in, Gamefound is gearing up to release its 2023 summary. This comprehensive overview will provide insights into the platform's growth, the success of various campaigns, and the evolving landscape of crowdfunding and Gamefound’s place in it. Gamefound users can look forward to a detailed analysis of the year's achievements, to help you anticipate what platform might be right for your crowdfunding needs in 2024.
In Conclusion
Gamefound's remarkable success with the Nemesis campaign, coupled with advancements in payment options and VAT handling, reflects the platform's commitment to enhancing the crowdfunding experience for both creators and backers. We had A LOT of new extra features in 2023 and we feel that Retaliation campaign showcased greatly all of them, showing the potential of running campaigns on Gamefound. With the promise of PayPal availability in multiple currencies and the upcoming release of the 2023 summary, Gamefound continues to be a driving force in the world of board game crowdfunding, and we’re incredibly excited to have you along for the ride.
Happy holidays, and have an excellent new year!
