Change the payment options for premium

[Sniper08]

I dont know if this has been suggested but can we have more payment options for premium. Not everyone has a credit card so the premium isnt available to those people (including me). I suggest add the paysafecard(which can be bought in any shop) and SMS (using your mobile phone) as new payment options.This will allow those who dont have a creditcard to get premiums which means more activity for the site.

I do think Lack would get more premiums with an option to pay via texting (SMS).
The PayPal option is a very good one, but it does take more effort than having to make a payment to your account first, and then another one to the site.

you also have to take into account that the costs are to increase the ways of payment, every intermediary will want a share of the pie. Some services simply take a too huge pie instead of a bit out of the proceeds

Costs wont be that much higher if any are added on .But even if there are extra costs it wouldn't be much and i still bet people would be willing to pay for the premium.Like i said i think we need new payment options as all current payment options involve having a credit card in some way.

[lord voldemort]

PayPal is already used...if you have just a bank account you can use it to purchase premium. I don't feel like there needs to be more

[Blitzaholic]

how about $25 bucks a year for Premium as it is, another option could be $10 bucks for 4 months?


This way those that do not have much could try it out for less and see if they like the 4 month trial for just 10 dollars.

Call it Premium Quart

Blitzy maybe you should try reading the thread before you wish to comment

Lackattack will be investigating new payment methods like SMS and others. I know SMS specifically was reviewed a year or more ago, but since SMS has continued to dramatically increase throughout the world, it is probably something we will look to for a future option.

i Just for nonpremium.
Probably many of nonpremium dont have time to play more games,and because that they dont want to buy premium,its normal,who will buy premium,and then to not play more then 4 games. But what if Lack have special Game Payment for nonpremiums, to ofer Game package for sale.
Example-You are Nonpremium who like to play,but dont have to much time for that, you go to payment section,and there purchase 100 game package(or 200 game package),and you store these in your account. Then you can use these when you have more free time to play(holidays,long vacation),or you can use for tournament,or speed games. Also this can be good for Premiums to,when they account expire,and if they need longest time to purchase new years premium,then can use These package to be in game. What price will be for this package,i dont know, but these idea maybe interesting?

that has been suggested, and i think its a terrific idea

[Sniper08]

its been a while yet no new payment options since we have a suggestions team now maybe they can comment on this.

[edwinissweet]

One of the admins commented on this 3 months ago. Since there has been no word of this, i'll ask him and see whats up

[TheForgivenOne]

This needs actual support from a lot of people to take it anywhere too

thank you

This needs actual support from a lot of people to take it anywhere too

well the admin said it was on their "to do list" so it looks like i have their support

[VampireM]

i support this idea for no other reason to have more people be able to get premium.. i think the SMS idea is golden.. so easy to add the charge to ur phone bill..

[fumandomuerte]

To make it clear... You can pay with a DEBIT card.
I've bought 4 premiums with my Visa Debit Card with no problem

But, hell yeah, there sould be a SMS option!

[TheForgivenOne]

This needs actual support from a lot of people to take it anywhere too

well the admin said it was on their "to do list" so it looks like i have their support

And if you have noticed, the "To-Do list" has been wiped out. Suggestions doesn't have a "To-Do List" Anymore

Andy said it to me in a PM a few days ago.

Additional Payment options are definitely on our To-do list, though for the larger to-do list for this year most likely.

[TheForgivenOne]

We'll be ditching the "To-Do" list---too often do priorities change to keep something like this accurately update, and this lack of accurate updating only further adds to the persistent issues in this forum.

[Sniper08]

well if an admin told me only 2 days ago that there was a "to do list" , a "to do list" must be for the admins , nothing to do with a suggestions "to do list"

[TheForgivenOne]

I'm only going off what Andy has told me. lack may have a few things he wants to do, but the "Official" To-Do list that everyone hated, because nothing ever came off it, is no longer here

[AndyDufresne]

It is something we may investigate this year, but it is currently low priority.

This is a great idea to use SMS. I buy disposable VISA cards for my online purchases to keep hacks from my general purpose checking account. I see more and more sites using SMS to pay for their sites and I use them every time since it is secure with the inability for some to clone my number.
