Porn Debit (8/11/00)
FULL STORY:
Internet pornography and debit have finally hooked up as a new debit card
penetrates the market. Houston, Texas-based Rick's Cabaret International
created the new Porn Debit card to solve two problems. First, many adult Web
site operators have been unable to establish a profitable business through the
acceptance of major credit cards. This is due to the high number of chargebacks
created by such sites. A disproportionate number of visitors will charge their
visits to a credit card and then later deny the transaction. Because the new
Porn Debit card is prepaid, the adult webmaster will be guaranteed payment in
full without worrying about chargebacks. The second problem is that visitors
prefer to be anonymous. Since it is prepaid, the card does not have the
consumer's name imprinted on it. The debit card will allow consumers to
anonymously purchase access to adult Web sites without the need to use a credit
card or checking account. With Rick's adult debit card no banking or personal
information is required to purchase memberships to premier adult sites. Under
the program, a consumer will purchase the debit card and then visit
porndebit.com to see a list of participating sites that accept the card. RCI
Debit Services plans to distribute the card through adult oriented retail
outlets across the country. The retail outlets targeted include adult novelty
stores, convenience stores, adult cabarets and adult video stores. The card
will be activated at the register. Vending machines will dispense pre-charged
cards with a $20 value. For more information visit
