“Having our Runes of Magic pre-paid game cards available at Target is a major opportunity for Frogster and our dedicated players who have been asking for a way to quickly buy items in game,” said Lars Koschin, CEO of Frogster America, Inc. “Now they can go to any Target store and be able to spend diamonds the same day.
