MUMBAI: Codemasters Online has revealed details of its new partnership with PlaySpan that offers monetisation solutions for online games, virtual worlds and social networks.

Players will be able to purchase Codemasters Online digital goods and services using more than 56 methods of payment.
 
The new partnership has gone live just in time for the launch of the latest digital expansion to The Lord of the Rings Online: Siege of Mirkwood (due for release on 3 December).

UltimatePay (the combination PayByCash’s 10 years of payment services experience and Spare Change’s social network payment platform) offers many popular cash-based payment methods including CertaPay, CashU, Ecapay, hyperWallet, TravellersExpress, MobilCash, MoneyMail, Mister Cash, myCitadel and Wallie Card.

UltimatePay can be used to pre-order the Siege of Mirkwood digital upgrade as well as many other Codemasters Online products. 
 
This partnership is one of many enhancements that Codemasters Online has made to improve the consumer billing and account experience in the last six months. This addition to the accounts system will facilitate a wide choice of easy payment methods for any customers unable to purchase with a credit card.
Says Codemasters Online VP GM David Solar, "I am delighted to launch this new scheme and think it is fantastic that we can now provide yet another route for users without credit cards and enjoy our games and services. We are working hard to constantly improve our customer experience and this is another step in that direction."

Avers PlaySpan founder, CEO Karl Mehta, “PlaySpan is excited and proud to partner with Codemasters Online. We’re eager to introduce UltimatePay to its fans and enable more of them to experience Codemasters premium content.”
