RCI Hospitality Holdings Unveils Successful Beta Phase of Favoritely.com Social Media Platform

RCI Unveils Favoritely.com: A Game Changer for Adult Entertainment

Houston, TX - January 16, 2025
RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: RICK) has announced a significant milestone with its new social media platform Favoritely.com, tailored specifically for adult nightclub entertainers and their fans. The successful first phase of the beta rollout is paving the way for broader introductions across the adult entertainment industry.

During the initial beta phase, Favoritely.com was tested in five venues within the bustling Houston-San Antonio area, including popular locations such as Chicas Locas, Club Onyx, Heartbreaker's Club, Scarlett's Cabaret, and Temptations Cabaret. This strategic rollout garnered enthusiastic feedback from both entertainers and patrons, indicating a positive reception and engagement potential. RCI's President and CEO, Eric Langan, stated, "Everybody loved it. The service worked well. We received positive feedback. Favoritely.com fills a void in the adult club industry."

A Unique Offering

Favoritely.com sets itself apart in the crowded marketplace of fan interaction platforms by enabling entertainers to directly engage with their fans in a secure environment. The platform allows users to send direct messages, purchase exclusive photos and videos, and uniquely arrange personal meet-ups in the safety and supervision of licensed clubs. This feature ensures both safety and convenience, creating a mutually beneficial interaction space for entertainers and their fans.

The mobile-friendly site is free to join, with users required to be at least 18 years old. Once registered, fans can follow and subscribe to their favorite performers without any financial burden. Entertainers have considerable flexibility, charging what they see fit, with current subscriptions ranging from $4 to $5 per month. Additionally, all major credit cards are accepted, streamlining transactions for users.

Economic Benefits for Entertainers

In an industry often marked by uncertainty, the economic model Favoritely.com proposes is certainly compelling. The platform does not charge performers for using its services, allowing entertainers to retain 80% of their earnings. This profit-sharing model is designed to incentivize entertainers to join and actively promote the platform. Furthermore, entertainers can also earn bonuses for each new performer they onboard, fostering a community-driven environment.

Favoritely.com was developed as a joint venture with an established adult entertainment internet technology company, further enhancing its credibility and user experience.

Looking Ahead

With an eye on future expansions, RCI Hospitality is keen to roll Favoritely.com out to numerous additional clubs, entertainers, and fans. Eric Langan emphasized the company’s commitment, saying, "We look forward to rolling it out to more clubs, entertainers, and fans, and continuing to make it better."

In summary, Favoritely.com appears ready to become a pivotal player in the adult entertainment industry, addressing the needs of performers and fans alike. RCI Hospitality Holdings continues to lead the way with innovative platforms aimed at revolutionizing how adult entertainers connect with their audience. As they move forward, the potential for this platform to reshape fan engagement in adult entertainment is indeed promising.
