Game On! Now You Can Buy Zynga Credits Using Your XL Prepaid Credit

I’ve known some Indonesia people crazy (or obsessed) with Zynga games, especially Zynga Poker. And people are finding difficulties to bring the game to a more exciting level, and the Zynga guys are finding difficulties monetizing the Indonesian market. Until today, through their local payment partner Indomog, Zynga partners with XL Axiata (one of Indonesia’s big telco) bridging virtual currency and real-life currency.

By charging your XL prepaid cards with IDR 50k and 100k, you’ll be able to redeem your Zynga dollars and add the balance in the future. Indomog also partners with retail chains such as Indomart, Alfamart group, Lotte Mart and Circle K where users can buy (and topup) more Zynga dollars to their account.

This Zynga dollars can be used to play games such as Poker, Empires & Allies and CityVille. This kind of in-app virtual item buying model has been very popular for games, and Zynga has been doing a good job at it in the US market. It’s about time they monetize the Indonesian market, millions of users has been playing their games obsessively in rural areas such as Jogjakarta, Bandung, Makassar and Medan.
