NEOVIA announces Significant Online Gaming Merchant Wins at IGE 2010 in London
Company continues to drive leadership position in gaming payments with secure and cost-effective processing with NETELLER e-wallet and Net+ pre-paid card
Tuesday 26th January 2010 - NEOVIA Financial Plc (LSE: NEO), the independent global online payments business, is pleased to announce today, at the start of The International Gaming Expo (IGE), that its NETELLER e-wallet has been chosen by three significant online gaming merchants to securely process payments on their website and online payouts to winning players.
By accepting the NETELLER e-wallet, the three merchants (BeatYa!, GWBet and UWin) also enable their customers to use NEOVIA's Net+ prepaid card to withdraw their winnings as cash at any ATM, or to spend the money in any of the retailers that accept MasterCard® cards. Net+ is available both as a virtual card for online use, and a physical card for real-world shopping.
BeatYa! is based in Malta and has players across Europe enjoying skill based games such as Yatzy, Backgammon and Mah-jong. For more information see http://en.beatya.com/
GWBet (Grün Weiss Sportwetten) is one of the leading bookmakers in Austria, and was founded in 1994. It has a strong background in land-based betting shops, and has also offered online betting since 1998. NETELLER helped GWBet to establish its business more rapidly outside Austria than would otherwise have been possible. NETELLER is a free, no-cost deposit option at GWBet, and is also used to pay out to winners. For more information see www.gwbet.com.
Launching at the end of the month and based in Malta, YouWin, formerly known as WinUnited is an online gaming platform that provides sportsbook betting, casino games and online poker. It will be using the NETELLER e-wallet to process payments, and to provide payouts to winning players. For more information see www.YouWin.com.
"The industry-acknowledged leading NETELLER e-wallet is an instant way to deposit and withdraw for our players," said Jurg Tschanz, CEO at BeatYa!. "Our players can also use the free Net+ card to give them quick access to their winnings throughout the regions we operate in. We are delighted to be offering the NETELLER e-wallet to our players."
Dan Starr, Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Products at NEOVIA, said: "The NETELLER e-wallet and Net+ card are a great combination for gaming merchants, enabling them to provide a secure, easy-to-use payment mechanism for their players, and connecting winners directly with their money. These contract wins further demonstrate the attractions of NEOVIA's online payment solutions to gaming merchants and we look forward to helping these merchants develop their businesses through our partnerships with them."
The merchants are each processing payments using two parts of the NEOVIA Payment Suite: the NETELLER e-wallet, which allows consumers to spend securely online and merchants to increase customer lifetime value, and Net+ cards, which allow merchants to extend customer loyalty and lifetimes. The suite also includes the NETBANX payments gateway, which allows merchants to accept card and non-card payments through multiple channels including online, contact centres, mail order and via automated phone systems.
The 2010 International Gaming Expo (www.ige-exhibition.com) is the UK's largest annual gaming event and takes place at London's Earls Court from 26-28 January 2010.
As well as exhibiting, NEOVIA's management team will be holding one-on-one meetings with key merchants and other industry leaders and commentators to preview market analysis, upcoming product releases and roadmaps.
