BSkyB offers NEOVIA's NETELLER e-wallet to 150,000 gaming customers

Wednesday 27th January 2010 - NEOVIA Financial Plc (LSE: NEO), the independent
global online payments business, announces the launch of its NETELLER e-wallet
payment services to BSkyB's Sky Betting and Gaming customers on their portfolio
of e-gaming sites: Sky Bet, Sky Poker, Sky Vegas and Sky Bingo. This means that
for the first time over 150,000 weekly active visitors to these online gaming
sites will be able to pay in and withdraw money using an e-wallet. The service
is expected to go live in early February.
Sky Bet, Sky Bingo, Sky Vegas and Sky Poker are part of the BSkyB organisation.
Sky Betting and Gaming, which recorded a gross profit of GBP51.9 million in
2009, wanted to provide a more secure and convenient paying in and withdrawal
options for its users.
Bernard Casey, Head of Gaming Operations at Sky Betting and Gaming confirmed:
"We were in the process of expanding our gaming operation and were looking at
alternative payments over and above credit cards. We choose NEOVIA's NETELLER as
our first e-wallet because of its reputation as the industry's premier e-wallet
as used by the majority of gaming players - it is easy for our users to
register, deposit and make withdrawals from, and is a secure alternative to
credit cards."
Dan Starr, Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Products at NEOVIA
said: "We are delighted to announce this new contract win this week at IGE, the
UK's largest annual gaming event. The benefit we bring to BSkyB is a strong
reputation for securely managing funds from one wallet and transacting at
multiple gaming sites. E-wallets are very common among players across multiple
sites and they want a single provider that is widely accepted. We offer this
plus the ability of taking winnings out via the Net+ pre-paid card. We are
pleased to add BSkyB to our extending portfolio of clients."
BSkyB is looking to roll out its gaming offerings across Europe and the Far East
in the next six to twelve months, and the NETELLER e-wallet will help it reach
new customers in this market. Under the agreement, BSkyB will also have the
opportunity to cross sell their products and services to other NETELLER members
and wallet holders.
