Facebook Credits expand beyond Facebook

October 25 2011, 5:16pm

Since July, Facebook Credits have been the primary currency of all Facebook social platform games. Starting now, Facebook is exploring the expansion of Facebook Credits outside of Facebook to game portals and various websites. One of the first outside websites to incorporate Facebook’s currency is Gamehouse.com. Facebook Credits will now be available in titles such as Collapse Blast and Uno Boost. Replacing the site’s traditional Paypal payment method, users will now log into Gamehouse.com via Facebook to utilize the Credits payment system. This move comes on the tail end of Facebook’s expansion of Credits into mobile apps and games earlier this month. Gamasutra reports that, “Facebook says it’s currently “focused on gathering early developer feedback” and considering whether or not to expand the test to other sites. Developers interested in taking part in the test can contact Facebook through this form.” Source: Gamasutra.com
