epay, one of the leading full-service providers for prepaid solutions, implements Blizzards Battle.net gift cards in over 6,000 electronics and grocery stores throughout Germany. The gift cards are available in the following varieties: Hearthstone, Heroes, Battle.net (value €20) and a 60-day World of Warcraft game time card (value €25.98).

Blizzard’s gaming platform Battle.net offers a globally connected online gaming experience with popular titles such as World of Warcraft®, Diablo®, or StarCraft®. In the Battle.net shop, players can purchase digital download versions of a variety of games as well as items and special characters to speed up their in-game progress. The Battle.net gift cards are a safe and easy payment alternative for users who prefer cash payment methods. Of course, the gift cards also make for an ideal present for avid gamers.

To use a gift card they purchased, users simply need to go online, scratch off the label on the back of the card to reveal the code, and enter it. Their personal Battle.net account is immediately credited the corresponding amount, which can then be used to purchase any content available.

This gift card solution is implemented in cooperation with epay, one of the leading full-service providers for prepaid solutions. The company with offices in Martinsried, a centre of innovation near Munich, does not only provide Blizzard with a first-class network for the distribution of gift cards in brick-and-mortar retail stores and carries out card production, logistics and merchandising, but also handles in close collaboration with Blizzard the technical realisation.
