2. WHAT IS BEINTOO?
Beintoo is a monetization and engagement platform that offers website and
mobile application developers the opportunity to create their own loyalty
program in partnership with real-world retailers. Developers monetize on their
user engagement, which is rewarded in Bedollars, a cross-brand virtual
currency. The user can then redeem Bedollars for real-world offers.
