LONDON, MONTREAL and NEW YORK, Feb. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - Optimal Payments Plc (LSE AIM: OPAY), a leading global online payments provider, is expanding a new Joint Affiliate Program for NETELLER merchants and their affiliates, providing affiliates the opportunity to earn additional commissions and merchants access to an additional commissions scheme at no extra cost.

"We have seen tremendous growth in affiliates taking up the promotion since its launch, players understanding the eWallet better and a great overall experience for all involved." stated Janine Morton, account manager, Referback.

"Our affiliate program constantly strives to deliver innovative offers for our partners, the likes of which they have never seen and didn't even know they needed," said Tufan Tolga, head of affiliates, Smart Live Gaming. "Our partnership with NETELLER in the Joint Affiliate Program provides the exact opportunity for our affiliates to increase their player conversion and revenue in one program - which makes solid business sense!"

"We are in constant search of top notch new offers for our affiliate network", says Hristo Stoyanov, affiliate manager, Noxwin.com. "Our partnership with NETELLER in the Joint Affiliate Program gives the amazing opportunity for our affiliate partners to reach new levels in their player conversion rates and revenue, which gives stability and business growth."
