Steam

[Skud]

Almost similar to PayPal. You link your card and verify it. It takes couple of days I guess and make merchant payments using it via Skrill. Also you can load e-wallet with money via bank transfer or credit/debit cards and make payments using it. If I'm not wrong, they take some charge for loading.

Is it confirmed officially somewhere? When I search I get various results. One of which is below and says 23rd onwards. Nevertheless, pretty much excited this time.

Saw it somewhere at steamgifts or reddit, can't recall. Generally they starts on Thursday (so 26th seems correct) and ends on Monday as per our time.

Skrill works like paypal. Problem of skrill is that u need to load money into the skrill wallet before any purchase. They charge 1.9% as fee and additionally u need to pay conversation fee becoz they charge ur card in euro. If u don't use skrill more than a year they charge 1 EURO as compensation fee. SBI Debit cards and other nationalized bank cards will not work on skrill becoz of lack of 2 step verification.

Meh. Better off buying wallet cards from gamersgift.
Btw suppose i buy wallet card in $ and buy from Indian converted store? Ill be able to make purchase using wallet right?

So in short, it is better to just get an international dc

Also in case you ask for refund, payment made through MoneyBookers/Skrill will be refunded as Steam wallet, not to your card.

Not sure if SBI Debit card works.

 

[SaiyanGoku]

Not sure if SBI Debit card works.

It won't work. They don't have the backend to separate international and local online transactions. And they still use windows XP.

 

[seamon]

Not sure if SBI Debit card works.

it should work. SBI Forex card(which doesn't work on other sites like Amazon,Paypal,Google play etc) worked.

 

[sohan_92]

So in other words, I have to use skrill and pay extra money for each transaction.

Nope. Just get wallet codes from the aforementioned websites.

Gamersgift and gamermall

They accept Indian debit cards.

[MENTION=248727]seamon[/MENTION]: are you still able to play play-locked games by keeping your store to India there?

 

[aniketdawn.89]

Seems like publishers have bumped up base prices of some titles. And it is ridiculous. Vampire bloolines is 1.3k now ROFL! And singularity is 2k!

Yes. Playing for 3 months now.

Which games if you don't mind posting a few.

Mind you I mean play lock and not just region lock.

Because Deus Ex directors cut on my library says it can only be played in RU/CIS/IN

Do you have steamdb extension installed on chrome?

It's possible you may have non-play locked keys.

If you have steamdb, then open your licenses and subscriptions page on chrome and click on the steamdb link(beside each key you will see an ID hyperlink), there you can see what version of the key you have- whether it's only region lock for activation, or play lock as well.

Global, WW and ROW keys have no restrictions.

Did it automatically convert to INR? My wallet is still showing in USD.
Thing is i got .02 USD and was planning to convert it to INR. So if i add some wallet amount and make a purchase, it will permanently convert to INR right?
Also when checking out, it doesnt show wallet money. Do i need to have enough money to show up?

2 cents is too low I guess to show up. Because when converting, steam will take the conversion Charges. So you need to add money.
