Micropayments in Online and Mobile Gaming

In-game purchases have redefined the way that consumers engage with games content. Freemium models are now common place drawing in a wider user demographic, whilst tablet and Mobile devices have presented new challenges for content discovery and billing on the move.

Venue: UKIE HQ, Wardour Street, London

Date and Time: 24th January 2013

Cost and terms of application: FOR MERCHANT MEMBERS ONLY, at no cost to attend.

With increasing online access and a fast developing suite of micropayments the K&N will consider how consumers find and engage with games content and the different monetisation strategies available for Games Developers and Publishers.

The event will build upon AIME’s micropayment research and explore potential models for monetisation of the online games sector, including the balance between payout rates, checkout friction/conversion and consumer behaviour across different platforms. The session will also include a discussion with Publishers and Developers in the gaming sector, exploring the different business models of upfront purchase, ad-funded and freemium models for in-game purchases. 

The event will provide delegates with the tools to better monetise their inventory by understanding and targeting often overlooked demographics such as the unbanked and impulse shoppers, whilst tackling market barriers such as security perceptions.
