# Play to Earn

The SHIBKING Play to Earn Game is set to launch in September of 2023, being the first to bring DeFi P2E fun to Shibarium!

The SHIBKING Play to Earn game is a key feature to the token's ecosystem as it attracts new users to a fun gaming experience, while allowing for redistribution of income to the SHIBKING token holders. How it works is, through every SHIBKING Play to Earn ticket purchases, a fixed portion of the revenue earned is accumulated and sent directly to the SHIBKING token staking pool increasing the amount of tokens earned through the variable APY pools. The other portion of every ticket purchased goes towards the players of the Play to Earn Game through rewards and weekly contests!

The Play to Earn game is directly linked to the NFT mint, as NFT holders are able to use their characters as in-game skins which opts them in to the reoccurring bonus contests.&#x20;
