Online gaming is big fun--and it can also be big money. Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPGs) open doors to new worlds for enthusiastic "gamers" everywhere. Players can practice magic, fight a two-headed ogre, run a city, or own a night club. Interaction between people through online gaming is very real--and so is the cost of playing.

As an online gaming merchant, your customers need to pay to play. Getting approved for an online gaming merchant account can be difficult for many reasons. Banks consider all businesses high risk when customers aren't present to sign for their purchases--but there's more. The ever-growing popularity of MMORPGs creates a high volume of credit card transactions. This significantly raises the risk profile for online gaming merchants.

You need a trusted merchant account provider who understands the needs of your high risk business. Speed, reliability and security are all important aspects when thinking about online credit card processing.

Sometimes it pays to pay for online gaming

The real world isn't free--and neither are virtual worlds in online games. Players pay to download games, for monthly subscriptions, and for virtual cash. There are numerous MMORPGs that require a monthly subscription, including:

• Aion
• Dark Age of Camelot
• Eve Online
• EverQuest II
• Final Fantasy XI
• Rift
• World of Warcraft

Some online games are free to play--for the most part. Just like in the real world, players need money in virtual worlds. Games that require you to pay to play for more fun and interaction include:

• Second Life
• Habbo
• CityVille (via Facebook)
• Gardens of Time (via Facebook)
• Farmville (via Facebook)
