ZEBEDEE and MoonPay provide credit card upgrades for Bitcoin games in over 100 countries
Gaming-focused FinTech and leading web3 infrastructure provider partner to expand payment methods in the ZEBEDEE app
HOBOKEN, NJ, 6 December 2022 /PRNewswire/ — SEBEDEthe leading FinTech and next-generation payment processor for the gaming industry, and MoonPaythe leading web3 infrastructure provider, today announced an expanded integration of MoonPay’s services into the ZEBEDEE app, allowing players in over 100 countries to easily top up Bitcoin balances with a debit or credit card from the ZEBEDEE app, eliminating the need to leave the app and connect to a switchboard.
This is the natural next step in the companies’ partnership, which started earlier this year. While you buy Bitcoin with a credit card was originally only available to US users, it is now available in all countries supported by ZEBEDEE. With over 3 billion players in the world, the market potential is clear and the two companies are ready to exploit it.
“We are very excited to bring MoonPay’s easy credit card top-up functionality to our global user base,” said Ben Cousins, Chief Strategy Officer at ZEBEDEE. “Adding money to your account with minimal effort is the key to bringing the full potential of ZEBEDEE to players, especially since these users typically don’t want to deal with exchanges. They just want a simple and frictionless experience that enriches what they get from the time they played.”
ZEBEDEE is a platform for game developers to integrate Bitcoin into their games and for players to earn it Bitcoin while we play. So far, the platform has been focused on allowing players to earn Bitcoin and use it, but users outside the US didn’t have an easy way to top up their balance with a credit card. This means they either had to earn enough in-game to trade with their ZEBEDEE balance, or deposit money Bitcoin from another source, as an exchange. Now they can just press a few buttons inside the ZEBEDEE app.
“MoonPay’s mission is to onboard the world to web3. Gamers are naturally curious and tech-savvy, a great combination to shape the future of the internet,” said Halsey Huth, head of growth and partnerships at MoonPay. “We are excited to expand our partnership with ZEBEDEE, making it easier for players to trade between web2 and web3 while getting us one step closer to delivering on our mission.”
This expanded coverage comes with perfect timing, as ZEBEDEE recently announced an integration with Bitrefill, to allow players to purchase gift cards for virtually anything without leaving the ZEBEDEE app. This means that players now get a full experience of circular economy – earn Bitcoin in game, top up your credit card, then buy thousands of gift cards anywhere in the world without leaving the ZEBEDEE app.
