Summary of Topic

The Gamer Safety Alliance, an MRC affinitiy group, would conduct a panel discussion comprised of top game publishers during which time they discuss the challenges and success they've had with both fraud and payment strategy. The discussion will have value not only for digital merchants but mult-channel as well. As merchants move from traditional selling models to more robust marketing strategies (electronic gift cards, onsite games, virtual currency), many are now just seeing what the gaming community has been working on for years.
