In September 2006, PKR.com selected Metacharge as their payment service provider. PKR required a processor that could support innovation combined with rapid growth and evolve with them.

Over the past year, PKR’s success has lead to a phenomenal growth in payment volumes over their website. PKR.com has now received over 13 million visits and more than a million registered players have wagered over US$250m since September 2006!

All of their card transactions, both payments and winnings are processed by Metacharge - a PayPoint Internet Payment Service.

The figures above represent a huge investment by PKR and demonstrate the scalability of Metacharge’s payment processing capability. All payments and winnings are made in US Dollars, Pounds Sterling or Euros according to cardholder preference.

PKR’s unique ‘Emote control’ technology, combined with a number of other one-of-a-kind game features mean players can interact and engage with the game and each other in way that’s personal, involving and highly entertaining.

PKR has implemented a unique fraud control system which uses a heavily configured version of Metacharge's popular and flexible FraudGuard solution. This scores transactions according to a range of visible and invisible data and over 40 transaction-specific, card, geographic and behavioural criteria.

The service includes 3D Secure, Territory Management, Blacklisting and Whitelisting functions and is even able to automatically defer and resume any suspicious activity - a unique combination of a risk-free review period with the peace-of-mind of automated revenue collection.

Throughout this process of bespoke development and rapid implementation, Motie Bring, Head of Transaction Services at PKR states that the innovation and investment by Metacharge was commensurate with what other payment service providers reserve for only their leading clients, which has enabled PKR to become one of them.

“From my personal experience, Metacharge is keen to learn and develop. I can phone the support team in the middle of the night and my query will be answered swiftly and professionally. It is also refreshing in its willingness to accept responsibility, deal with challenges honestly and remain focused in servicing both PKR and its customers.”

He added: “Since September 2006, Metacharge has been supporting PKR with its comprehensive gaming solution. Over this period, PKR has achieved staggering growth of 2000% and Metacharge’s solution has grown with us.”

“The corporate account and merchant extranet functionality they provide enable us to take payments reliably, pay out winnings consistently and maintain 99.99% payment processing uptime. This reliability is coupled with advanced reporting functionality which allow us to monitor transactions, reduce fraud and manage charge-backs remotely.”

“As PKR heads towards its one millionth registered player, we are looking forward to continuing growth with Metacharge - a PayPoint Internet Payment Service - and the high level of service and support we’ve come to expect.”
