DuoCash, Inc. & PayByCash.com Create Prepaid Game Card Based On Phone Cards
FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- DuoCash, Inc. of Ft. Lauderdale and Internet Payment Solutions, Inc. (PayByCash.com(TM)) of Charlottesville, Va. announced today that DuoCash prepaid phone cards will be accepted for subscription payment on 29 different Internet-based adventure game sites, including such leading game sites as Ultima Online and Dark Age of Camelot. This will allow a game player to purchase a DuoCash phone card over the counter at any of thousands of locations across the country, and play various online games by simply clicking on the PayByCash logo and entering the 800 number and PIN from their phone card - no credit card or personal information is required.
According to Albert Case, DuoCash's chief operating officer, "This makes DuoCash, by default, the leading multi-game 'pay for play game card' in the U.S. Unlike other game cards which must be used to play a single game or on a single site, the DuoCash card can be used at most of the leading game play sites - and, can be used at nearly 1,000 other online merchants to purchase downloads, ring tones, subscriptions and merchandise."
According to Kevin Higgins, President of Internet Payment Solutions, "DuoCash is an exciting option for our consumer and game merchant clients. It offers anyone, especially kids and young adults, the opportunity to play online games without the hassles of borrowing a parent's credit card, or buying and mailing money orders or checks. This is a convenient way for those without credit cards or bank accounts - or for those who don't want to put their personal information online - to pay for online subscription services."
Safe and Secure Transactions
Victor Nappe, founder of DuoCash said, "The security of the identity and location of a minor communicating online, and identity theft are key concerns among thousands of online subscribers - and online merchants. By using or accepting a DuoCash card, no personal information is exchanged to complete the payment process. This is especially important to parents of youth and teens. Using DuoCash protects the identity of minors making purchases on the Internet." Nappe went on to say, "Of course, parents should always monitor minors' online play and check to see what information the site collects about its players."
Merchant Benefits
PayByCash.com's Kevin Higgins commented, "Our PayByCash.com network offers merchants a significant advantage over a native DuoCash or credit card solution - we settle accounts with the merchant at full retail. Typically, there are no processing fees when using the PayByCash network." DuoCash's Case added, "Another key benefit to the merchant is the 'no chargeback' nature of the DuoCash Card. When a gamer buys a DuoCash Card over-the-counter, it's a standard phone card purchase. It's anonymous, instantly available, and 'good as cash' - meaning that possession of the card is possession of the cash. This means that there are no chargebacks for fraudulent purchases using DuoCash cards."
Where to Get a DuoCash Card
DuoCash-enabled prepaid phone cards are available in approximately 2,000 retail outlets in 30 U.S. states and some Canadian provinces. DuoCash has signed agreements with telephone companies to increase that distribution to 10,000 retail locations across the United States in the next 60 to 90 days.
