Holiday shopping with Net+ prepaid cards from NETELLER

With the holiday season fast-approaching, you’ll probably visit your favourite mall or online merchant to find that oh-so perfect gift.  While your search may be fun and successful, it may also come with the stress of finding the perfect hiding spot. That special someone may be a little too curious for their own good. They will stop at nothing to find out what’s in store for them.

Net+ prepaid cards will keep them guessing

The best way to keep your holiday spending under wraps is with a Net+ physical or virtual prepaid card.

Your card transactions are kept private through online statements so there’s no paper trail (for nosey parkers going through credit card statements). Finally, rest easy that your surprise stays that way until the big day!

Reward yourself

Why not give yourself a gift this holiday season? Each time you use your Net+ card you earn NETPoints that you can put towards great rewards!  Plus, just for using your Net+ card in November you’ll earn ballots for the Luck or Skill Giveaway, for a chance to win big money in the weekly prize draws.

When are you starting your holiday shopping?

Day 4 – NETELLER at Betsson Estoril LIVE

Today’s post was written by Leanne. She is a Marketing Manager and works mainly on the VIP program.

In my first post from Betsson Estoril LIVE I told you about the great people I encountered upon arriving in Portugal, the fabulous Betsson team that helped us out and, of course, the grand Casino Estoril. Now that I’m settled in, let me tell you how things are going.

The main event

LeanneBetssonPic

Registrants began arriving in the afternoon where they were greeted and signed up for VIP accounts. When all was said and done we had welcomed a bunch of new VIPs and members to NETELLER. The main event began at 3:10pm and the hospitality lounge died down immediately as all eyes turned to the tables.

Bittersweet victory

Of course, not everyone can be a winner. As a consolation prize, Miguel got $500 for being first out. I felt horrible for him because he told me that there aren’t a lot of tournaments in Lisbon (and area) so it’s a shame that one of the local players was out so soon. We wish him the best in the future and hope he enjoys his new NETELLER account. Bad tournament luck aside, Miguel was really excited to start using his account and appreciative that he got VIP status for 3 months!

What the players are up to

For those more fortunate at the tables, Betsson hosted a range of activities, including a trip to Lisbon, where the players shopped at their favourite stores and roamed the streets to their hearts content. I hope some of them had a chance to visit venues such as the Castle of Seujorge, Monastery of St. Jeronimos, the Maritime Museum and Monument of Vasio de Gama to catch views of the Tagus River. There’s lots of fun to be had!

Maybe too much fun

As far as the highlight of the night goes, rumour has it that 2 Finnish players went onstage and stapled the program to their tongues while talking to the crowd. Eek! That definitely gave them a good excuse to drink after a stunt like that! The worst part was that we totally missed it!

Who we’ve met so far

We are meeting and greeting members from Iceland, the UK, Germany and a lot from Sweden and Norway. They’re all fantastic and have great senses of humour.

Many of our current members are happy to see us and have stopped by our NETELLER booth to get the most up-to-date information from the source. And the players here are a lot of fun and they’re very enthusiastic about our products.

Stay tuned to hear more about the events at Betsson Estoril LIVE from NETELLER and tell us about your most memorable moments.

NETELLER arrives at Betsson Estoril LIVE

Today’s post was written by Leanne. She is a Marketing Manager and works mainly on the VIP program.

In my previous post I was revving up for the 10-hour trek to Portugal. But it took close to 16 hours – with a rain-soaked stop in Amsterdam – and I arrived safe and sound.

The people and places

The people I have come in contact with have been great! My taxi ride from Lisbon to Estoril was amazing. I saw a lot of the city even though it zoomed by at 160 km/hr. While my cab driver didn’t speak much English, he had no problem telling me where to visit, what to see and urged me to go to Cascais for a day trip. And I’ve heard the shopping in Lisbon is not to be missed.

Cascais

I made my way to Cascais this morning. I found a market where the people were so nice and patient as I tried very hard to understand what they were saying. But my search for a good bottle of port will require more research over the coming days before I settle on one to bring home.

A room with a view

Estoril2

There are many hotels across the street from the Casino Estoril and mine is one of them! The flashing bright lights called to me and I had to go check things out. The casino is a lot bigger than I had imagined, with lights inside and out and it looks quite classy from every view.

There are multiple places to visit with people and relax over a few drinks. And, this provides a great chance to talk with many of the players before the games begin at 9 tonight. There’s a lot of action here so make sure you don’t miss out on the start of the tournament!

The Betsson team

Upon our arrival, the Betsson team was setting up the welcome party which has a great living room feel that is both intimate and inviting. And the staff have been fantastic! I have no doubt that everything will be perfect when the players arrive.

NETELLER welcomes you

Our welcome party tonight will have a fun kick-off show so don’t miss out. From there the players will start testing their skills at 9 pm and run until 3 am.

We’ll be sitting with Betsson at the registration table to greet everyone before moving to our booth when the tournament gets underway. We’ll be at our booth until Tuesday signing people up, giving out great gifts and entering anyone who joins into a draw for a chance to win $1,000 on Tuesday evening! The funds will be credited into the winner’s account no later than Wednesday.

Come and meet us

My colleague Pavlina and I are really excited to be a part of this event. It’s going to be a busy one and we hope to have many guests visit our table so we can share and explain everything that NETELLER has to offer.

And finally, Estoril is an extremely beautiful place: poker, the ocean and a great crowd – it doesn’t get better than this!

Been to Casino Estoril in Portugal? Played in the Betsson Estoril LIVE tournament before? Tell us all about it – we want to hear it!

Put your luck (or skill) to the test with NETELLER’s latest promotion

Today’s post was written by Suzanne. She is the Marketing Program Manager for member communications and promotions on our Brand and Group Marketing team.

I never know if it’s luck or skill that wins the game. This has been a serious topic of debate around here, which is why I think it’s fitting that it has taken form in our latest promotion, the Luck or Skill Giveaway. We’re giving you a chance to win big!

6,000 EUR up for grabs

Between November 2nd and 30th you’ll either leave it up to chance or put your skills to the test to win up to 6,000 EUR over 4 weeks. A winner will be announced each week and awarded a cash prize into their NETELLER account. And as each week passes, you’ll get the chance at a bigger stake in the prize:

  • November 9 – 500 EUR – Pierre T., France
  • November 16 – 1,000 EUR – Santiago V., Argentina
  • November 23 – 1,500 EUR (This could be you)
  • November 30 – 3,000 EUR (This could be you)

How it works

Some of our members already know what to expect in a promotion like this but for you newcomers, it’s really easy to get in on the action. The first thing you need to do is confirm your registration and voilà, you’ve officially earned your first ballot!

For those of you who like to leave it to chance, you may be happy with just 1 ballot. On the other hand, why not take matters into your own hands and use your skills to tip the scale in your favour?

You can start gaining the upper hand by earning extra ballots. How do you get more ballots, you ask? It’s simple─just use your NETELLER account. After confirming your registration, any of the following activities on your NETELLER account between November 2nd and 30th will earn you an extra ballot.

Check out all the ways you can sway the balance in your favour

  • 1 ballot = every 100 EUR deposit
  • 1 ballot = every 1,000 EUR you transfer to merchants
  • 1 ballot = every Money Transfer transaction
  • 1 ballot = participation in Twitter re-tweeting promotion (Copy & paste the following text into your Twitter feed for your chance to win up to 6000 EUR with NETELLER: “RT @neteller: Follow #neteller and retweet (RT) this before Dec. 1 for a chance to win up to 6000 EUR! #luckorskill”)
  • 1 ballot = Net+ physical card application
  • 1 ballot = Net+ virtual card application and download
  • 1 ballot = Net+ virtual card transaction
  • 1 ballot = referring a friend through the NETELLER Refer a Friend program
  • 1 ballot = Take out money with VirWox or deposit at PartyPoker, Betfair or Everest Casino
  • 1 ballot = transacting with a merchant for the first time

On top of that, every ballot you earn will carry over week by week, so as the prize gets bigger, so does your chance of winning.

I’ll be updating you weekly on winners so check back here or on promotions.neteller.com to see if you’re the lucky (or skilled) winner.

So there you have it: luck or skill─what’s your strategy?

NETELLER at Betsson Estoril LIVE

Today’s post was written by Leanne. She is a Marketing Manager and works mainly on the VIP program.

If you’re anything like me then you’re pumped that there are only a few more sleeps until Betsson Estoril LIVE, our first sponsored tournament! My bags are just about packed (with an endless supply of vegetable bars and soy snacks) and I’m ready to begin the 10 hour adventure to Portugal.

Meet and greet

When we arrive we’ll have a day to put things together before the welcoming event on November 6th. And I’ll be there to meet you guys and listen to all of your feedback.

The event will kick-off with registrations at Casino Estoril (one of the largest casinos in Europe) with a welcome show, shoot-out tournament and single table satellites and sit-and-go after demand. If you decide to walk around, come see me and I can help you register for a VIP membership!

From there on out it’s an endless array of tournaments, events and activities until 3am on November 10th. I may even try to sneak away for a bit to catch some sun and work on my tan.

If you’re going to the event please stop by our booth in the hospitality lounge of Casino Estoril. If you can’t make it we’ll be blogging and tweeting from the event so stay tuned for updates.

What part of Betsson Estoril LIVE are you looking forward to?

NETELLER heroes on Facebook

Today’s post was written by Kimber. She is a Marketing Program Manager and is passionate about building the NETELLER community.

Have you ever thought about the best talks you’ve had at work? And were they about work or something completely unrelated? Lately, most of my chats with colleagues are work-related and take place around the “water cooler.”

We’ve been talking on end about some of the entries we received for the  “Be a Hero” contest.  In my last post I revealed that Iury was our big winner. And since many of the “water cooler” chats I have end up on Facebook, what better way to showcase Iury, our 2 semi-finalists and all of the hero submissions in a new album? It’s located on our fan page under Be a Hero Contest Photo Album. While you’re there, take 2 seconds and become a fan of NETELLER.

Keep the submissions coming

There’s been way too much fun to stop this contest now. That’s why we’re making it an ongoing promotion with a winner chosen 4 times per year. So keep those submissions coming in and keep voting for your favourites! Plus, I would like to once again thank everyone who made a submission – especially to Brendan for one of the most “imaginative” submissions.

Even if your team, horse or wrestler doesn’t win, that doesn’t mean you can’t!

The next face of the NETELLER eWallet

Today’s post was written by Jen. She is the Affiliate Account Manager and one of our NETELLER heroes.
examples
What is it like to be a NETELLER hero?

Becoming a NETELLER brand ambassador was not an easy decision. So I was lucky that it wasn’t much of a decision at all. When I was “voluntold” to become the next face of NETELLER, only Alan, Danielle, and Clark had come before me. I was kind of nervous about it, because I knew I had a lot to live up to. Especially in regards to Alan… he’s so @$%# cool!

At the time, NETELLER was doing a facelift on its brand, so I was concerned about whether or not I would fit into this new image. Bold, confident, hip, smart, edgy, and clever??? Yikes!

The transformation from mild-mannered employee to full on NETELLER hero put me through a mix of emotions. Do a photo shoot?!? FUN!!! Promote NETELLER?!? Yes, please! Sign a waiver and forfeit all rights over the use of your photographs? Okay, wait a minute…

But I don’t regret doing it for a second. Overnight, I became a lunchroom celebrity. I knew things were going to be different for me when I walked into the office and saw my face on a NETELLER banner in the kitchen and then on a wall-sized panel with 5 other ambassadors at the employee entrance. After that, people from around the office just seemed to know my name. “Hey Jen, what’s a one-inch punch?” It was kind of flattering!

As I became only the second hero on the NETELLER website, I started to feel a sense of competition with Alan. Who had the most visibility? Who had the most fans? He was up on the home page first – advantage Alan. I was the face of the VIP program – advantage me. He was on the cover of the deck of playing cards and I was the Joker – tie game.

What about you? Are you ready to join the competition? Submit your entry to NETELLER’s Be a hero contest and you could become the next face of NETELLER.

In the meantime, let us know who you prefer between Alan and me. Although I think we all know the answer to that.

NETELLER’s no fee prepaid cards get even better

Today’s post was written by Brendan. As a web writer, Brendan is responsible for crafting copy masterpieces every single day.

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not that alert before my first coffee of the morning. Maybe that’s why I got so confused when Nicole asked me to write a blog post about our new Net+ promotion. Having just caught up on all the work that built up while I was on a vacation in South Carolina, I was starting to feel pretty on top of things. But I couldn’t recall anything about a Net+ promotion. What’s worse, I was still perplexed after she described it to me over a much-needed cup of coffee.

“So you’re telling me that every time a member uses their Net+ prepaid card to make a purchase or ATM withdrawal, they’re going to be automatically entered to win 500 EUR?” I asked.

“That’s right,” Nicole said slowly, as if talking to a child.

“What if they use their Net+ virtual prepaid card,” I asked, trying to wrap my head around it.

“They’ll be entered too,” she explained patiently. “For every transaction made on either card between September 17, 2009 and October 18, 2009, members will be entered into a draw to win 500 EUR, or equivalent currency*. Pretty simple, isn’t it?”

I must admit: the contest, as described, was a shining example of simplicity. It wasn’t the mechanics of the contest confusing me now – it was the logic. I couldn’t understand why we were offering members a chance to win money just for using their Net+ cards. With no application or dormancy fees and anytime, anywhere access to funds in their NETELLER accounts, our members don’t really need any incentive to use their cards.

But I kept my questions to myself, walked back to my desk, and pulled up my Net+ virtual card. I would have used the card anyway, but with a chance to win with every purchase I make over the next month, you better believe I’m going to give that card a workout. I may be slow, but I’m not stupid. Especially once I get a cup of coffee in me.

What will you use your card for? Let us know.

* Each time you make a purchase or ATM withdrawal with your Net+ card, you are automatically entered into the prize draw to win 500 EUR (or equivalent currency). Contest runs from Sept 17, 2009 12AM GMT to October 18, 2009 11:59PM GMT. Winner will be notified by October 24, 2009.
