ATLANTA, Dec. 1, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Zeevex, an InComm company providing open virtual currency through national retailers, has entered into an exclusive agreement with Twitpay, an online payments provider that enables users to simply and securely initiate payments utilizing Twitter, to launch Zeevex Social. The gamer-friendly platform now offers online game publishers the viral power of social network payments, and millions of gamers a simple, secure way to pay for online transactions utilizing their social network.

"Zeevex Social represents a new breed of payment services, combining the power of Twitpay's renowned social payment service and Zeevex's open virtual currency," said Brian Parlotto, senior vice president of consumer products and international at InComm, Zeevex's parent company. "With this new partnership, we're creating a way for gamers to simplify their online purchases and alert their friends to great deals simultaneously, leaving them more time to actually play the games they love."

Game publishers who partner with Zeevex can now offer Zeevex Social as a payment option. In just a few simple steps gamers can pay for their digital goods, while getting a virtual currency bonus and alerting their followers on Twitter. Here's how it works:

• When purchasing virtual goods in an online game, players can select the Zeevex Social option from the various choices at checkout, such as credit card or PayPal
• As an incentive to use Zeevex Social, consumers are offered a 15 percent bonus, meaning that Zeevex Social will automatically credit their account 15 percent more than the actual purchase value
• First-time users will be required to complete a quick, three-step registration process
• Next they are taken immediately back to the game while Zeevex Social automatically posts a tweet to the user's network finalizing the transaction and alerting their followers to the great deal
• On subsequent uses, players need only select Zeevex Social and log in to complete their transaction

"Twitpay believes that making use of a gamer's social network while offering the most consumer-friendly payment solution is the perfect recipe for online game publishing success," said Kenneth Douglas, General Manager and Executive Vice President Social Gaming and Commerce at Twitpay. "With Zeevex's reputation for leading the open virtual currency market and with their user-friendly solution now available in more than 40,000 national retailers, we knew that when it came to expanding Twitpay into online games, creating the Zeevex Social platform was the best choice."
