Play it easy: Goodgame Studios now offers payment with Yapital
LUXEMBOURG, January 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Pay for premium content at Goodgame Studios in a fast, safe and simple way with your
smartphone / Enhanced security with expenditure control and alternative transmission of
payment information
Empire, Shadow Kings, Big Farm & Co.: Browser games by leading game developer Goodgame
Studios entertain many gamers, with over 240 million users currently registered worldwide.
Gamers in German-speaking countries such as Germany, Austria and Luxembourg are especially
active - and for them it is now possible to use an extremely player-friendly payment
method: To purchase rubies or diamonds, for example, they simply scan a QR code with the
Yapital app on their smartphone - that's it. The game is interrupted only for a few
seconds as logging into an online account or tediously entering credit card information is
no longer necessary.
Since the beginning of the New Year, payment at Goodgame has become a lot
user-friendlier with Yapital. The first European cross-channel payment solution not only
allows fast and easy payment - Yapital also offers additional security: Firstly, users
benefit from a real-time overview of their spending with the app's included transaction
list. Secondly, users don't need to enter payment-related data in the browser: The
information required for Yapital payments is stored in the Yapital account and is
protected with the latest encryption and security technologies. As a licensed Electronic
Money Institution, Yapital also complies with the strictest banking regulations and
regulatory requirements.
"We are very happy to win an additional acceptance point in this important consumer
industry by partnering with Goodgame Studios," says Niels Lohmüller, Executive Vice
President of Business Development at Yapital. "Both Yapital and Goodgame Studios appeal to
online-savvy consumers, who use smartphones as part of their everyday lives and who are
open to an innovative mobile payment method."
"Yapital is a very player-friendly payment solution," adds Oleg Savschouk, Head of
Monetization and Payment at Goodgame Studios. "It allows our users to purchase premium
content without having to pause the game for more than a few seconds. For gamers, this is
an important added value, as they want to fully concentrate on the game. We are convinced
that many of our players will use the ability to pay quickly and securely with Yapital."
