Prepaid cards for gaming

Pay for all your game-related purchases safely and securely using a Getsby virtual prepaid debit card. Our prepaid Mastercard cards allow you to buy games and add-ons, pay for your online gaming and streaming subscriptions, and more; without the risks associated with connecting your own bank card details to online gaming platforms.

With both our reloadable Virtual Green Card and single load Virtual Black Card, you choose the amount of money added to the card, which allows you to set a budget and stick to it. Your card is also not linked to your bank account, providing you with an extra layer of security and helping protect you from risks such as unauthorized payments or security breaches.

Ordering a virtual card online is a quick and easy process. When deciding on a budget to allocate to your Getsby card, simply choose a value between €10 — €500 when purchasing (up to €150 on a Virtual Green Card). Once you have registered for an account and paid for your virtual card, you’ll receive an email with an access code to activate your account. Complete the verification process, and after ±30 minutes, you’ll be able to access your account.

Once set up, you can use your prepaid Getsby card to purchase from over 36 million merchants that accept Mastercard payments — ideal for those who want to experience and enjoy the world of gaming without being restricted to a specific console, retailer or game.

What can I use my prepaid virtual card for?

You can use your prepaid virtual card at any merchant that accepts Mastercard payments. So, regardless of whether you’re a keen gamer or the parent of one, your options are kept wide open. For example, Getsby’s prepaid cards can be used for the following:

• Buying online games: purchase online games without needing a credit card — perfect if you have a low credit score or don’t have access to a credit card.

• Streaming online games and following creators: your Getsby card lets you safely and securely purchase streaming services, follow your favourite creators online, and pay for gaming communications services like Discord, all without needing a credit card.

• Purchasing mobile games: buy games directly from the App Store and Google Play.

Prepaid cards for gambling

As of 14 April, the use of credit cards for online gambling has been banned in the UK. However, a prepaid debit Mastercard card is the best alternative to a credit card for gambling.

Prepaid debit cards are not only more secure than standard cards, but they can also encourage more responsible gambling and provide you with the means to take better control of your spending.

With a disposable Virtual Black Card, you choose a value between €10 – €500 to add to the card. You can only spend what is on your prepaid card, and there is no option to top-up funds, making this card a great option for controlling your spending.

You can also use your Getsby card for contactless in-store payments by adding it to your Apple Pay or Google Pay.

Where can I spend my virtual card?

You can use your Getsby virtual debit card at any merchant that accepts Mastercard as a payment method. This means you can shop in-store and online with over 36 million merchants worldwide.

Can I use a virtual card more than once?

Yes, you can use your Getsby virtual prepaid card more than once. However, it is worth being aware that our Virtual Black Cards are single-load disposable cards that are valid for one year. This means you can only use them until the funds have been depleted, after which you cannot top them up.

Alternatively, our Virtual Green Cards are valid for three years and are reloadable, allowing you to conveniently top-up your funds via bank transfer or using a credit or debit card.

How is a virtual card different from a gaming gift card?

The main difference between virtual cards and gaming gift cards is versatility. Gaming gift cards are typically restricted to specific merchants, game platforms, games, or gaming consoles and are usually not transferrable across the different options. For example, an Xbox Gift Card can only be used for online purchases at the Microsoft Store or on Windows or Xbox.

However, you can use Getsby’s digital gift cards at any merchant that accepts Mastercard. For this reason, they are an excellent choice for avid gamers who enjoy the freedom of being able to pick and choose between different games.
