earthport plc Business Developments
earthport's gaming sector focused subsidiary, EnsurePay, has won two further
contracts in the online gaming industry. The company will provide Pocket
Entertainment, a mobile entertainment company, and Pool.com, a dedicated online
gaming company, with its Universal Payment System. The two contracts confirm
earthport's position as a leader in the provision of payment solutions to the
gaming industry.
Pocket Entertainment provides customers with gaming and film entertainment
through their mobile phones. This is first contract earthport has been awarded
to supply a payment system dedicated to a mobile platform, and demonstrates
earthport's continued expansion into new delivery channels.
The completion of these contracts comes after the rapid implementation for two
other strategic clients that were signed in July. Bet365 and Bet Internet
global transaction systems have both gone live, giving earthport a total of five
major online gaming clients using the Universal Payment Network.
Andrew Hull, Managing Director of Pocket Entertainment Group, said: "EnsurePay's
product and versatility will allow Pocket Entertainment to exploit the exciting
new mobile gaming market."
Tim Hoskins, Commercial Director of EnsurePay, said "In today's highly
competitive gaming market clients value EnsurePay's combination of speed of
delivery, security, reliability and the unique cleared cash solution as an
alternative to credit cards."
