What Ourgame International Holdings Ltd. does

Ourgame International Holdings Ltd. (operating as 联众游戏 / Lianzhong) is a Beijing-headquartered, Hong Kong-listed online casual gaming company founded in 1998 that develops and operates a multiplayer game hall platform primarily serving Chinese internet users. Its core product is the 联众大厅 (Ourgame Hall) desktop client, currently at version GLWORLD 2.8.11.11 (released November 6, 2024), which serves as a single launcher for 60+ titles spanning card games (斗地主, 保皇, 升级, 桥牌), mahjong (16+ regional variants including 疯狂麻将, 血战麻将), board games (中国象棋, 围棋, 四国军棋), and casual games (梦想国度, 台球, 俄罗斯方块). The platform is augmented by a layered virtual economy: 联众币 (core virtual currency for membership, avatars, items), 游乐豆 (luck-based gaming token), a 联众秀 avatar customization system with 100+ designs, and a 联众江湖 (Jianghu) martial-arts sect/guild community with tournaments, rankings, and an honor system. Supporting modules include a virtual finance hub (理财中心), deposit box (豆豆保管箱), magic-stone crafting, and animated chat expressions.

The company monetizes through a freemium model: free-to-play game client with virtual currency top-ups (single transactions up to 6,000 RMB, daily cumulative up to 40,000 RMB), recurring membership subscriptions (30 RMB monthly, 90-day, 360-day plans with priority access, blue/orange sapphire badges, and member discounts), and direct sales of avatars, badges, lucky IDs, and gift packages (320–7,520 coins). Payment rails include Alipay, WeChat Pay, mobile carrier billing (中国移动, 中国联通, 中国电信), bank cards, prepaid cards, and fixed-line phone. Virtual currency is explicitly non-redeemable for cash and non-transferable between users, complying with PRC gaming regulations. Distribution is primarily direct digital download via ourgame.com plus a nationwide physical retail network for prepaid recharge cards spanning all Chinese provinces. The platform operates as a community-led, product-led-growth B2C business with 101–250 employees and no disclosed enterprise or B2B revenue stream.
