Prepaid · no credit card
Paying without a credit card
Buy a prepaid code with PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay, redeem it on your platform and play — no credit card and no bank account needed.
You can pay with PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa and Mastercard.
Who this is for
Gamers under 18
No credit card? A prepaid code still lets you pay on your platform.
Parents who want a set budget
You choose the amount. Nobody can spend more than the code holds.
Anyone who would rather not share bank details
On the platform you only enter a code. No bank details are involved.
How it works
- 1
Pick a voucher and an amount and pay with PayPal or another method we offer.
- 2
You receive the code by e-mail after confirmed payment.
- 3
Redeem the code on the platform, or add it to your voucher wallet and pay from there.
The wallet route
Redeem your code into a free my paysafecard account and the amount sits there as balance. The issuer then deducts no € 4 a month from the remainder, you can merge several codes, and account limits are higher than a single code's (payments are capped at € 50 each).
Which voucher works where
Per platform, what that platform's own payment methods page confirms. A dash means unknown, not that it does not work.

The vouchers compared
paysafecard
Games, gaming memberships and platforms that accept prepaid
- Amounts
- £10.00 – £100.00
- Service fee
- Service fee from £0.00
Good to know: From the 2nd month the issuer deducts € 4 a month from the remaining balance of an unredeemed code. Redeeming it into a free my paysafecard account removes that monthly deduction. Payments are capped at € 50 each.
Neosurf
Smaller amounts and shops that list Neosurf themselves
- Amounts
- £10.00 – £100.00
- Service fee
- Service fee from £0.00
Good to know: The big gaming platforms do not list Neosurf on their payment pages. Check that the place where you want to pay lists Neosurf first.
Flexepin
International platforms and wallets
- Amounts
- £10.00 – £100.00
- Service fee
- Service fee from £0.00
Good to know: Meant for funding a wallet. On gaming platforms that usually does not work directly.
Without a voucher: platform credit with PayPal
Often the simplest route: buy the platform's own credit and redeem that code directly.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I buy a game without a credit card?
- Yes. You buy a prepaid voucher or platform credit with PayPal and redeem the code on the platform. No credit card and no bank link with the platform is needed.
- Is paying with a prepaid code safe?
- You give the platform no bank or card details, only a code. Do treat that code like cash though: whoever has it can spend it, so share it with nobody.
- What if the code's amount does not match the price?
- If the code is worth more than the price, the remainder stays on the code. If it is worth less, paysafecard lets you combine several codes into one balance in a my paysafecard account, or you pick a higher amount.
- Can I combine a voucher and PayPal on the platform?
- That is up to the platform, not us. Most platforms let you top up credit with the code first and pay the rest another way. paysafecard applies a € 50 limit per payment.
- How long does a code stay valid?
- Validity is stated on the voucher's product page. On an unredeemed paysafecard code the issuer deducts € 4 a month from the remaining balance from the 2nd month; inside a my paysafecard account it does not.
- My code does not work. What now?
- First check that the platform lists the voucher on its own payment page and that your account country matches. If it still fails, contact our customer service with your order number.
- Can I use a prepaid voucher if I am under 18?
- Prepaid vouchers exist precisely for paying without a credit card, but the platform's and issuer's own age rules still apply, and some services set a minimum age.
- Which voucher is accepted in the most places?
- paysafecard. It appears on the own payment pages of PlayStation Store, Steam, Epic Games and Google Play. If a platform lists no voucher at all, that platform's own gift card is the route.
