In a first for adult’s original webmaster conference, the educational program
spotlighted key global centers of commerce such as France, Germany,
Eastern Europe, North America and the host country, Netherlands.
Jackson, managing vice president of sales for CCBill. “It’s
one of the best shows in Europe and it was great to kick
off the show last night as we’re launching CCBill Pay,
our new wallet. We’re launching it here and we’re really
excited about that. It’s going to change the way we do
business.”
CCBill Pay is the newest part of the company’s
FlexForms system, which allows its clients’ customers to
join sites, buy time or check out their cart with a simple
login. A buyer can store credit card info and currency
choices to use again on any CCBill site using FlexForms.
Fresh Meet
The next day one of the main attractions of the first full
day of Webmaster Access did not disappoint as the Meet
Market packed in an overflow crowd.
Industry-leading firms took over the Meet Market,
presented by Etology, with previews of their latest
products, innovations and services.
“This is my second year here and I love the show—it’s
one of my favorites,” said Jeffrey Rosenzweig, VP of
operations for SegPay, which is based in Coral Springs,
Fla.
SegPay unveiled the soft launch of its new gateway
product in Amsterdam for merchants who are just
looking for gateway services.
“It just seems like the next logical step for us as a
payment service provider,” Rosenzweig said. “As more
and more merchants are able to get their own payout it
makes sense for us to just be able to offer them gateway
services.”
Speaking of launches, ModelCentro was at the Meet
Market promoting its MC Profits affiliate program.
“We have 70-plus models but we are adding new
models every week,” said Andrea Fioriniello of
ModelCentro. “These are the most converting websites
that we have. They are unique websites. They are
unsaturated and that is most important for affiliates.”
Igor Komarenko, the chief marketing officer for
the Ukraine-based Aurora Global, was among the
international executives holding court. A heavyweight in
Eastern Europe, Aurora Global specializes in dating and
webcam offers with 15 years in the space. Komarenko
said his company is building a product that will “help us
to better monetize customers from dating offers on the
webcams.”
He explained, “We are doing full integration of these
companies. We don’t just give a white-label solution. We
make full integration in the member’s area, full billing
integration with one click, everything.”
The range of companies exhibiting at the Meet Market
represented every aspect of the online ecosystem. Elisa

Messidoro, account manager for mobile affiliate network Mobidea, said she traveled from Lisbon, Portugal.
Mobidea also has offices in Luxembourg, Romania and Israel and is planning to open one in Mexico.
“Our offers are both mainstream and adult,” Messidoro said. “We started in 2013. With CPI we just started
this year. This year we’re working to improve, get better offers, more geos, better payouts. It’s very nice.”
Andrew Kelly, senior manager for Germany-based call center Zwei Lowen, came to the show for the first
time. “We’re looking to get into this segment of the business,” said Kelly, who is originally from Scotland.
“We provide a lot of moderators for dating chats, but mainly we’re a normal customer service call center.
We offer telephone support, email support. … Everyone is so friendly here I must say. I’m really surprised.”
Ivo Delli Colli, sales manager-pay sites for the Montreal-based Adult Force, compared his platform to an
adult Netflix.
“If you’re looking to enjoy good, quality premium videos, we have it all,” said Delli Colli, whose blue-chip
brands under the Adult Force umbrella include Brazzers, Reality Kings, Mofos, Digital Playground, Twistys,
Playboy Plus, Wicked Pictures and Pornhub Premium. “Basically we run some of the biggest offers in the
world for adult paysites.”
The Netherlands-based team from Kiiroo enjoyed a big presence at Webmaster Access—among those
in attendance are Director of Sales Frank Kok, Communications Manager Ashton Egner and Customer
Relationship Manager Maki Sugimura. Kiiroo, which specializes in interactive sex toys, stands on the cutting
edge of teledildonics, which is widely considered the future of the live-cam market.
“We just want to bring everyone together with our devices,” Sugimura said.
Egner pointed to Kiiroo’s Virtual Sexology, a sex therapy program from Badoink VR that integrates with
Kiiroo’s Onyx for haptic feedback, as their newest product.
“What’s going to come next we can’t say yet,” Egner said with a smile.
The day started with Epoch’s Soccer Madness, the latest stop on its worldwide Soccer Tour which this
year was contested at the TOG Amsterdam Voetbalvereniging Tot Ons Genoegen Soccer Club about 20
minutes from the hotel. The soccer gods blessed the game with partly cloudy conditions in the mid-70s as an
enthusiastic group of Webmaster Access attendees took the pitch just after high noon. Orchestrated by Epoch
VP of Sales of Marketing Harmik Gharapetian, the game featured two squads of eight players—the green >
