Thread: Is there anyway to buy games on steam without a Credit Card?

    You could try signing up on Green Man Gaming or GamersGate. They both have a rewards program which lets you rack up store credit, or digital currency in the case of GamersGate, which you can use to buy games with. Just make sure that it's a Steam game you're buying first, and you'll receive a key to activate on Steam. Takes time, but you can make quite a bit through referrals.

    Both websites also accept Rixty, a prepaid payment method that doesn't involve a credit card or bank account, although unfortunately GamersGate won't accept Rixty payments from SA. Not sure about GMG, seeing as they have disabled the Rixty payment option on their website. It has been that way for a long time.

    Finally got my Internet Banking up and running with FNB and it too 5 minutes for the funds to show up on my wallet...

    Compared to Standard Bank which took me 12 hours last time.

    And FNB scores another happy client . I've been with them for years, and I can never understand how any of the other banks survive, unless its purely due to consumer ignorance (and I mean this with no offense to other bank clients , perhaps I am the ignorant one?). Just don't see what the other banks have to offer when compared to FNB.

    Anyone else having issues adding funds to steam today? Keep getting an unexpected error message. I've contacted their support, and even reinstalled steam - no dice.

    VCPay of late is having issues with Steam.

    My experience with VCPay has been nothing but painful.
    Now that, after fighting with them for over a week, the funds appear in my VCPay, they are just sitting there, because Steam throws "unexpected error" when I try to pay. And their support channel... still waiting... I get through to Telkom online faster than this.

    Apparently this is something to do with some or other banking regulator in SA, my guess is just more govt. bs. VCpay called me on my phone after I had unsuccessfully tried to buy from Steam. They say that users registered before 27 Nov 2015 will be fine but any new users are still on hold for international payments. They also say that they are working with 'the regulator' to fix this but couldn't give me an ETA.
    Their website also just says 'soon', per the FAQ: 'Soon you’ll be able to use VCpay to pay virtually everywhere across the globe!'
