WEST PALM BEACH, FL--(Marketwire - April 6, 2011) - [ Quepasa.com ], the popular online social network and game platform for the Latino community operated by [ Quepasa Corporation ] (NYSE Amex: [ QPSA ]), today announced an agreement with Tutudo, Inc., to make Tutudo's E-Wallet payment solution available for all Quepasa games.

The Tutudo E-Wallet allows for the purchase of game currency credits through a network of 70,000 points of sale (POS) in Brazil, including newsstands and Internet cafes. The Tutudo credits specifically target Brazilian middle class game users, a demographic with low credit card penetration, by delivering the credits via mobile text message. Quepasa will promote Tutudo as its exclusive POS payment solution in Brazil and Mexico and Tutudo will include Quepasa's games in all of its media campaigns.

"Gaining access to Tutudo's 70,000 POS, platform and E-Wallet solution in Brazil is an important step in Quepasa's strategy of monetizing games and other content solutions on Quepasa.com," commented Quepasa's CEO, John Abbott. "The Tutudo solution complements the very large percentage of Quepasa game players with limited access to credit."

"We chose to partner with Quepasa due to their scale across all of Latin America and their focus on culturally relevant social games via their recently acquired game studio in Curitiba, Brazil," said Pierre Schurmann, CEO of Tutudo, "We look forward to facilitating payments for Quepasa's 34 million users."
