Online Spending & Payments on MMO's and Game Portals

Knowledge Sharing:

The Today's Gamers Online Spending & Payments Report shows that money is spent predominantly on monthly subscriptions and buying online credits. The preferred payment method in the US and UK is credit card, while using an online payment account and other alternative payment methods is more widespread in European countries. However, many merchants are struggling with the "last mile" of offering the right mix of popular and relevant online payments to these international gamers.

GlobalCollect, the world's premier Payment Service Provider of local E-Payments, and Newzoo developed this Summary Report. The Survey is conducted by TNS and Gamesindustry.com in the Netherlands, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Belgium, and the United States. Data for the 2009 edition was collected from a total of 13,000 respondents. The full report compromises 60 pages, 80 graphs plus underlying raw data. The Summary Report is a brief selection of the data.

Thank you for your interest and we sincerely hope you will find it inspiring to help you grow your global online sales.
