MoonPay and ZEBEDEE make it easy for players to buy and sell Bitcoin. This integration is only the first step.
Services from crypto payment infrastructure provider MoonPay will be integrated into the ZEBEDEE gaming app, allowing players to fund their bitcoin balance with credit or debit cards within the interface itself.

Initially, the integration will allow ZEBEDEE US customers to buy bitcoins with their card (credit or debit). This is being edited, this integration will be quickly extended to more countries and currencies, it will also be possible to sell bitcoins to receive fiat money directly into a bank account.
While MoonPay offers similar services, the partnership with ZEBEDEE is different in that it is based on the Lightning Network, a layer 2 blockchain that facilitates instant transactions with near-zero fees, but its use has always been somewhat problematic for newbies due to the difficulty of transferring bitcoins from the blockchain to lightning network.
The worlds of cryptocurrency and gaming are merging, and the two industries are proving to be very compatible. With over three billion players around the world, incorporating cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin into games is a great way to democratize cryptocurrencies by providing users with a simple, intuitive, and harmless experience.
This integration is only the first step.
“We love how MoonPay has created an extremely easy, fast and convenient way for everyone to buy or sell Bitcoin,” said Simon Cowell, CEO of ZEBEDEE. “The opportunities they offer are perfect for what we want to achieve at ZEBEDEE. And it’s a comfortable experience for people who are just getting started with bitcoin, without the hassle that often comes with financial apps or exchanges for those who don’t get along with the technology.”
MoonPay Co-Founder and CEO Ivan Soto-Wright added: “What we have built with ZEBEDEE is a great example of how cryptocurrency and gaming can come together to dramatically improve network access 3. The solution we are launching today is only the first step, and we hope that it will be very easy to buy and sell bitcoins to millions of players.”
