Acclaim Games, TrialPay Partner To Give Away Acclaim Coins

-Acclaim Games is partnering with TrialPay to give away Acclaim Coins, its virtual currency, for free. Players will be able to use Acclaim Coins to buy virtual items in the company’s online games, such as Bots and 9Dragons

TrialPay uses advertising revenue to pay the full value of each customer’s virtual currency. Players can receive free Acclaim Coins by trying or buying an offer from TrialPay’s blue-chip advertisers. They’ll be able to earn Acclaim Coins when buying clothes, sending flowers, or taking advantage of TrialPay’s other offers.

Acclaim Coins are redeemable in any of Acclaim's five free-to-play multiplayer online games, and can be used to upgrade weapons, change character wardrobes, or improve skill packs. With the offer, Acclaim Games hopes to gain loyal customers and reward players with free upgrades.

"We're excited to make our special features more accessible to players," said Acclaim Games CEO Howard Marks "Our new partnership with TrialPay allows more players the opportunity to customize their characters and use new features at no additional cost."
