Friendster’s games are free-to-play and for a more enhanced experience, Friendster’s in-game credits – Friendster Coins can be purchased to unlock more game features. The new platform also allows Facebook users to enjoy Friendster easily via the Facebook Connect button.

Friendster presently has 56 massively multi-player online and social games on the platform and allows developers to monetize their game using Friendster Coins which is powered by MOL’s payment platform.Friendster Coins guarantees zero chargeback to its developers thus eliminating risk of fraud for developers.
