Neovia announced at EiG in Copenhagen last week that 23 of the world's top 25 online poker websites now offer the Neovia payment network as a payment option to their customers.

The information was taken from pokerscout.com last month and listed the following (in alphabetical order) as the top 25 online poker websites: Bodog, Cake Poker, Cereus, Entraction (a Microgaming site), Everest Poker, Everest Poker.fr, Everleaf, Full Tilt Poker, Full Tilt Poker.fr, International, iPoker, Merge, Microgaming, Ongame, Ongame.fr, PacificPoker, PartyPoker, PartyPoker.fr, PeoplesNetwork.it, PKR, PokerStars, PokerStars.it, PokerStars.fr, Svenska Spel and Winamax.fr.

Neovia’s merchants in the poker market include names such as Full Tilt Poker, PartyPoker and PokerStars. The company’s frictionless e-wallet Neteller, part of its payment network, provides secure and reliable online solutions so that customers of gaming merchants can easily transfer funds to and from their sites. Rather than depositing money directly into a gaming site, Neteller allows consumers to manage their online money more easily. The e-wallet allows consumers to track and make easier deposits and withdrawals, gives them a safe place to store winnings, and provides the flexibility to shop around for the best games before spending.

Dan Starr, executive vice president and chief marketing officer for Neovia, said: "The EiG show is the European internet gaming event of the year. What better place to announce the news that the online poker industry continues to see the business benefits of working with Neovia and our offerings."
