Razer had made a $20,000,000 investment in MOL last year June to help boost the zGold virtual credit program which allows gamers to buy using MOL points. Now Min-Liang Tan, the CEO of Razer, has bought up MOL in full which will further push zGold using MOL’s virtual payment platform. Players can invest on zGold to buy games and products from the Razer store at a discount price which also comes with many other rewards.
“We are already the No. 1 gaming brand in the U.S., Europe and China, but Southeast Asia is still nascent and a very small part of our business,” Razer CEO and co-founder Min-Liang Tan “We see this [deal with MOL] as stuff we can do immediately.”
The zGold isn’t just some virtual credit where you exchange to purchase products on the Razer store. You can also earn zSilver for each zGold spent which can also be used to purchase products and other deals even for mobile games. zSilver however is different than zGold. It can be seen as virtual currency that’s common and earned through using various Razer applications while the zGold is seen as premium virtual currency. All these virtual currency are safely stored in the Razer’s zVault.
