"Stored value" card now available online for resellers worldwide.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA - September 15, 2008

Ultimate Game Card™, the stored value card by PayByCash®, is easily the most versatile game card on the market. Supporting more than 200 multiplayer games and virtual worlds, it is available in more than 16,000 retail stores in the U.S. With Ultimate Game Card’s ever growing popularity, PayByCash (subsidiary of PlaySpan Inc.) has launched an online version of the card available to resellers worldwide.

“The acceptance of Ultimate Game Card has been swift, with sales doubling every month over the last few months,” said PayByCash president, Kevin Higgins. “Multiplayer games and virtual worlds are international and there is a strong demand for a global version of Ultimate Game Card. We are now pleased to offer Ultimate Game Card to resellers worldwide. Selling the Ultimate Game Card is an immediate way for virtually any business to generate revenues and bring new customers into a physical store location.”

“Prepaid cards have become one of the most popular payment methods for multiplayer online games and now businesses and entrepreneurs can purchase game codes in bulk and choose between instant delivery of digital codes or rapid delivery of physical Ultimate Game Cards," said Karl Mehta, Founder & CEO of PlaySpan Inc, "They can then sell the cards to customers or others they know who want a convenient means to pay for premium content online”

These codes are redeemable in all of PayByCash’s supported games. The majority of online game publishers in the Western Hemisphere accept payments via PayByCash. This is an ideal product for Internet cafes and game centers; it’s also a great product for new entrepreneurs, who can sell them anywhere that gamers hang out. When the reseller delivers an Ultimate Game Card code to their customer, the customer redeems the code on the website of their favorite game or on the PayByCash point of purchase page.
