being a fan of retro games (and recently getting a cheap laptop) i was looking at the gog site at some of their retro games.

the problem is that i don't have a credit card or direct debit/debit card to buy games from them BUT i noticed in the payments you can use paysafecard to pay for games on gog.

well having never heard of paysafecards before, i checked out their website and sure enough they said that i could buy paysafe credit from my local wh smiths or poundland along with another place 7-10 store nearby.

the trouble is that both poundland and wh smiths had never heard of them before.

on the paysafecard site there is a page to show the retailer who didn't know about them.

just wondering if anyone has bought paysafecard credit and how easy it is to actually get?

it would be great to be able to buy some gog classic games from their site (eye of the beholder trilogy for starters).

edit i should have enclosed a link to them https://www.paysafecard.com/en/

Can't comment on that particular company but it sounds like a pre pay credit card that you can put money onto and then just use it as you want, plenty of companies doing that, maybe check out money saving expert or similar.

Amex certainly used to offer pre paid gift cards as an option. Not sure if they do any more. It's not a new idea either way

just going to add this in case anyone one day reads this thread wondering about paysafecards. i just bought some paysafecard credit from my local poundland (i had to ask about it as the cashier hadn't heard about it before). and yes i can buy gog games with it (have done so woohoo).
