Mobile payments for virtual goods and services sold via online gaming and social-networking sites will continue to grow in 2010, according to a Boku executive.

Mobile payments provider Boku has reached more than 200 million new customers with several new partnerships, bringing its reach to 56 countries worldwide.

Mobile social network MocoSpace has selected Boku’s mobile payments platform to let consumers pay for virtual goods and premium services via their handsets.

Boku Inc. has entered the mobile payments space with a bang, having raised $13 million in venture funding and acquiring both Paymo and Mobillcash.
