Paynova teams up with entering the Chinese online gaming market

The Swedish e-sport team Ninjas in Pyjamas (NiP) today launches a new Chinese e-commerce site, selling merchandise and game related hardware on the Chinese market. Paynova’s international account-based payment service is integrated in the new NiP e- commerce site, giving members, fans and other visitors the option of obtaining a safe and secure account for Internet transactions and fund transfers.

Online gaming, or e-sports, is not currently a thriving industry in Sweden and Europe. However in China alone, there are already almost 33 million online gamers, and the market is growing rapidly. Revenues from the online gaming industry in China are estimated at US$580 million, and are expected to grow to US$1.7 billion in 2010. Teamed up with the successful Swedish e-sport team Ninjas in Pyjamas, NiP, Paynova is now taking the first step into the enormous Chinese e-sports market.

Paynova’s experience from the European gaming market, and the company’s partnership with NiP has resulted in optimized payment services for online gaming. Paynova offers an account based service that handles micro payments, subscriptions, and payments from within the game, co-registration and single sign-on as well as a payment guarantee. This cost effective solution complies with all the key requirements of the online gaming industry in a secure and simple way and is Visa AIS and MasterCard SDP compliant.

− We look forward to this venture with Paynova in entering the fiercely competitive Chinese market. This market has huge potential for us and we see great opportunities in collaborating with Paynova whose payment service is becoming increasingly adapted to the Chinese market. NiP already has a unique position in Chinese online gaming, and we will now continue to expand the brand together with our trusted partner, Paynova, says Peter Hedlund, CEO, Ninjas in Pyjamas.

NiP is one of the world’s most successful e-sport teams, with both World Cup and Olympic Game victories. NiP now has more than 20 000 registered fans in China and the tournaments are shown live on TV in the country. NiP creates revenues through membership fees and selling merchandise and game related hardware such as keyboards and headsets.

− Ninjas in Pyjamas is as much of a household name in the Chinese gaming community as the sports legend Jan-Ove Waldner was as a table tennis player. China has millions of fans following the team’s progress over the Internet. The growth of the e-sports market is enormous. Taking the first steps into this market together with one of the biggest and most famous e-sport teams is truly exhilarating, says Karl Alberts, head of marketing and sales at Paynova.
