Wister Mobile Services and Blacknut Cloud Gaming announce new partnership to accelerate the B2C distribution of the cloud gaming service through carrier billing across major carriers Orange, SFR & Bouygues in France with other countries soon to follow.
Blacknut Cloud Gaming and Wister Mobile Services announced today the launch of a new partnership to accelerate the B2C distribution of Blacknut cloud gaming service through carrier billing. With over 20 years experience, French company Wister is a leading provider of Direct Carrier Billing (DCB) services that offer customers a fast, transparent, and trusted payment experience. Through Wister, consumers can add new subscriptions directly through mobile operators' monthly bill as opposed to additional payment systems, like credit cards, simplifying access to content and enlarging potential customer pools. Wister is currently active in over 15 countries with plans to develop in 2024, and handles Direct Carrier Billing for some of France’s largest telecom operators including Orange, SFR & Bouygues.
Blacknut has already demonstrated successful B2B go-to-market with carriers worldwide – our new partnership with Wister allows us to directly take control of the User Acquisition and grow our customer base exponentially. We are excited to see the business acceleration that will be achieved with Wister in France and further replicate it globally.
