Wallie prepaid cards are a simple and secure method of making online payments, requiring only the card's unique code to complete transactions -- no need to provide credit card or bank account details. There are no age limits on the use of Wallie-cards/e-vouchers, and they can be purchased from a wide selection of partner A-brand stores, as well as online at www.wallie.com.

Karos Online is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) in which players take the role of a hero fighting for honor and glory in the beautiful but troubled world of Asmara. With a strong role-playing element, a wide range of character skills and fantastic visual effects, Karos Online offers a rich player experience and an exciting end-game including castle sieges and resource control points.

"We feature only the most convenient and secure payment solutions in the Karos cash shop, and Wallie ticks those boxes. Wallie-card is a very welcome option for our European players," says Dongmin Lee, Director of International Business at NHN Corporation.

"Because we are committed to excluding clients from the gambling and adult industry, we are considered to be a highly ethical business partner. This gives us a strong competitive position in the market for payment solutions," says Annewytske Weber, Director Sales & Marketing of Wallie. "We're happy to have NHN Corporation as a partner, and look forward to providing their players with convenience and peace of mind when they buy Karos items with Wallie-cards."
