Oct. 19, 2010 - PRLog -- NEOVIA Financial Plc (LSE: NEO), the leading alternative payments business, announces at the European iGaming Congress and Expo that 23 of the world’s top 25 online poker websites* now offer the NEOVIA Payment Network as a payment option to their customers. This reaffirms NEOVIA’s dominance in the gaming market as the de facto payment provider.

The European iGaming Congress and Expo 2010 Show (EiG) is the online gaming industry’s leading conference and exhibition, featuring a three-day extravaganza of business deals, innovative learning, networking and parties. In its ninth year, it will be held at the Bella Centre in Copenhagen, Denmark from Tuesday 19th October until Thursday 21st October. EiG features presentations from over 100 of the world’s iGaming experts, and the opportunity to network with more than 1,500 industry leaders and decision makers from over 60 countries.

NEOVIA’s merchants in the poker market include big names such as Full Tilt Poker, PartyPoker and PokerStars. For any size online poker merchant NEOVIA’s frictionless e-wallet NETELLER, part of NEOVIA’s payment network, provides secure and reliable online solutions. This means that, for gaming merchants, their customers can easily transfer funds to and from their sites, while strengthening their offering by tapping into additional services provide by NEOVIA including promotions, giveaways and a VIP programme.

Rather than depositing money directly into a gaming site, NETELLER allows consumers to manage their online money more easily. The e-wallet allows consumers to track and make easier deposits and withdrawals, gives them a safe place to store winnings, and provides the flexibility to shop around for the best games before spending.

Dan Starr, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for NEOVIA said: “The EiG show is the European internet gaming event of the year. What better place to announce the news that the online poker industry continues to see the business benefits of working with NEOVIA and our offerings.”

The NEOVIA Payment Network™ simplifies payments for businesses, improving customer experience, margins and lifetime value. It includes the international NETBANX® payments processing service for merchants, and consumer and card services through the NETELLER® payment account. NETBANX allows merchants to accept and settle card and non-card payments through multiple channels including online, contact centres, mail order and automated phone systems. Via NETELLER merchants can offer their loyal customers a branded payment account that allows instant and direct settlement that avoids the complexities and costs of traditional card schemes; the embedded multi-award-wining Net+® card allows consumers to spend at over 30 million MasterCard® locations worldwide.
