Asiasoft Corporation PLC Partners with Live Gamer to Offer the Payment of Facebook® Credits

July 18, 2011 - PRLog -- MALAYSIA, THAILAND, VIETNAM, JULY 11, 2011 — ASIASOFT CORPORATION PLC (www.asiasoft.net) is pleased to have partnered with Live Gamer (www.livegamer.com), the trusted, total revenue solution for the interactive entertainment industry to power the payment of Facebook Credits in Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.

Credits, the official virtual currency on Facebook, enables the purchase of gifts and virtual goods for games and applications on the Facebook platform. Popular games like Bejeweled Blitz, Farmville, Hotel City, Likeness and hundreds of other games and applications are already accepting Facebook Credits. Starting July 1st, 2011, these social gamers can buy Credits through various channels in Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.

Through this partnership, end-users in Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam will be able to use @Cash to purchase Facebook Credits and spend Facebook Credits across Facebook’s directory of social games and applications. Asiasoft's @Cash is available via prepaid cards at retailers in Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, and can also be purchased online.

In addition to the already existent payment options such as PayPal, credit cards and mobile devices, Facebook users in Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam will now be able to utilize Asiasoft's @Cash to make payment for the Facebook Credits that they want to purchase.

This partnership makes purchasing Facebook Credits significantly more convenient in Asia, a region where consumers rely heavily on offline prepaid cards rather than credit cards to purchase digital goods and services.

"This payment partnership with Live Gamer to power payments for Facebook Credits means new touch points to help us build stronger, longer-lasting relationships with our existing gamers," said Sherman Tan, Chairman of Asiasoft Corporation PLC. "We're excited to work with Live Gamer, a recognized leader in global virtual item-based business."
