will a visa gift card work?

Postby synaris » Wed Nov 25, 2015 5:15 pm

since i cant use paypal a buddy of mine suggested a visa gift card. just load it up and use it like a credit card, while checking to even see if that would work for this game i noticed the language changes to something i dont recognize when i choose the credit card option to check out...

my question is, will a visa gift card work at all? or am i stuck with the completly batshit joke of 7 hours a week?

If you can set up a PayPal account and use the card as funding for PayPal, yes, it will work. PayPal accepts any Visa card, be it a debit card, credit card, or gift card (reloadable or otherwise) as payment.

Unfortunately, there's a lot of areas PayPal doesn't work in. Even in regions PayPal operates, some people have issues setting up accounts. Best I can suggest is contacting their customer service if they accept accounts from your area.

I wasn't familiar with Xsolla before it was mentioned here, but seems they are a fairly popular third party payment processor with quite a few clients on the Internet. The time they take to open operations seems to be abysmal, though, but that may be legal requirements and such to verify they aren't taking payments for illegal or fly-by-night operations.
