NEOVIA Further Strengthens Its Position In Online Video Gaming Market With
Four Wins Including Travian Games
Millions Of Gamers Benefit From Publishers Implementing NETELLER E-Wallet
Wednesday, 10th February 2010 - NEOVIA Financial Plc (LSE: NEO), the independent
global online payments business, has further strengthened its position in the
Online Video Gaming market with the announcement, at the start of the Casual
Connect Show in Hamburg, of significant contract wins to provide secure online
payment processing for Travian Games and three other merchants.
German-based Travian Games GmbH (http://www.traviangames.com) is an
award-winning MMOG game developer. Its Travian browser-based platform has been
translated into over 42 languages and has more than 5 million players worldwide.
NEOVIA is providing its enhanced NETELLER e-wallet and NETELLER 1-Pay as a
payment option for all Travian's customers. The tailored e-wallet supports
micro-payments, making it commercially viable for merchants to offer it to
players. While the actual payment process is quick and simple for the gamer,
NETELLER guarantees the funds to the gaming merchant.
The other wins announced today are:
Austrian-based Crafty Studios, (www.craftystudios.com) is a game developer
whose titles include Devil Fight II, and which is the operator of Bulido
(www.bulido.com). Bulido is a Second Life money conversion portal, where players
can pay in with real money and convert it to Linden dollars.
OffGamers (www.offgamers.com), operating from Hong Kong, supports some 300,000
worldwide players for games including World of Warcraft, Aion Online, The Rune
of Landscape and Warhammer. It provides a trading platform for virtual currency,
power levelling, game time cards, subscription codes, one-off entry fees,
virtual items, gaming services and unparalleled 24/7 quality customer service
support. The NETELLER e-wallet has been recently added as a new payment option.
Headquartered in Singapore, Cherry Credits (www.cherrycredits.com) provides a
one-stop payment solution to over 125 online games. In addition to its strong
retail distribution in Asia, players with NETELLER e-wallets can now purchase
Cherry Credits to make payment for some of the most renowned game publishers
including NHN, Ntreev, Softnyx, Sulake and CJ Internet.
Andreas Bornegräber at Travian said: "We chose NEOVIA because of its strong
international footprint and its support for emerging markets like India, where
it's very difficult to collect payments online from players. NEOVIA is a company
that understands not just about payment but also about end-customer marketing
and business."
Dan Starr, Executive Vice President at NEOVIA said: "We are delighted to be
providing alternative payment options for Travian, who are pioneers in the MMOG
market, as well as our other three merchants announced today. We've paved the
way into unexplored territories for our customers, and helped them monetise
their games better and provide their customers with the benefit of quick and
simple payment solutions. MMOG operators can rely on NEOVIA for effective fraud
control and anti-money laundering policies, and players will benefit by using
the NETELLER e-wallet, to allow them to spend securely online without revealing
their card details."
The Casual Connect show(http://europe.casualconnect.org) will be attended by
over 3,500 professionals in the casual gaming industry. Taking place in Hamburg
from 10th to 12th February 2010, it brings together the most talented and

management team will be holding one-on-one meetings with key merchants and other
