In-game monetization platform PlaySpan is announcing a new $18 million funding today, led by Vodafone Ventures and Softbank Bodhi Fund. The funding will be used for European and Asian expansion, and the company now claims to be present in 180 countries.

The expansion should be helped along by the two investors. Vodafone is one of the largest mobile providers in Europe, while Softbank is the same Asian tech giant that has pumped money into social game companies RockYou and Zynga.

In total, PlaySpan has now raised $42 million. Its last round, for $16.8 million, was raised in December 2008.
