UK Chat App That Gives Back Hits The United States

Latest British Invasion Tengi - Users Can Win a $14,000 Weekly Top Prize

British messaging app maker Tengi is launching in the U.S. with its weekly cash giveaways totaling over $20,000, including a weekly top prize of $14,000.

Each Friday, at 2 p.m. CT, the company will conduct a global draw and all active users are entered into it. The top prize is approximately $14,000 (£10,000). Tengi will also give away four $35 (£25) prizes, and 850 $7 (£5) prizes.

Unlike other messaging and chatting apps, Tengi is the only one to reward its users, sharing 50% of all its advertising revenues and giving away over $20,000 each week.

“We’re thrilled to be launching in the U.S.,” said Neil Laycock, Tengi CEO. “We have a great messaging app and a unique business model. Starting today our US users can chat with friends and earn tickets to win the $14,000 top prize. But as we give away over $20,000 every single week, that is just one of many chances they will have to win.”

“We’re confident that our American friends will tell their friends about our unique and engaging chat app,” added Laycock. “Loyal users who use the app regularly and also invite friends increase their chances of winning every week.”

Tengi’s transparent business model, that rewards users, has seen its UK user community rapidly grow to more than 25,000 strong in just eight weeks since the national launch. UK-based Tengi is challenging the likes of Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and others as it is the only chat app that returns 50% of its revenue to users.

“Sign up now to have a chance to win $14,000. But get your friends to join too, because as more people join Tengi, the prizes will increase,” noted Laycock.

In addition to giving money away to its users Tengi is making it easier than ever for friends and groups to remain connected. “We’re planning more international launches of the app so that people who love to text can connect globally,” said Laycock.

Tengi can be downloaded for iOS and Android via the app stores:

iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/tengi-chat-app-that-gives/id969463341?mt=8

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tengi.android

All winners must be 16 or older; all prize amounts will be translated into US currency per that day’s exchange rate and distributed via wire transfer or via Amazon vouchers.

About Tengi is the chat app that gives back. Every week Tengi gives away hundreds of cash prizes to its community of users. All they have to do is use the app to be entered into the prize draw. There are no hidden costs, catches or strings attached. Tengi is committed to sharing 50% of its advertising revenues with users.

The app is completely free and Tengi will never charge people for it. Tengi’s approach is consumer-focused and free, fair and fun. It’s not just about the cash, either: the app is packed with great features and new ones are being added all the time.
