Buying on Playasia

You need a Playasia account to buy. Revealing a code counts as accepting delivery. Payment options include cards, PayPal, Bitcoin, bank transfer and local methods in some countries.

Digital codes cannot be returned or cancelled. A code that gives an error is refunded or replaced once Playasia confirms the fault, usually within 5 business days. A code redeemed after being revealed counts as used.
