What ways are there to pay for games?

Illustration for the article “How to pay for Steam, PUBG and other games from Russia”
While payments to foreign services from Russia are unavailable, you can still pay for Steam, PUBG or Roblox in several ways. Here is how.
💳 With a foreign card
Order a foreign card through intermediaries and link it to your account. Or open an account in Kazakhstan, Turkey, the UAE or another country and link it to your Google Play account — but that is even harder.
🎮 Through gaming platforms
Dozens of websites in Russia offer to pay for subscriptions and in-game purchases. But watch the fee: it may turn out much higher than advertised.
🫅 Through friends or relatives abroad
No comment needed: asking them to pay should work, but asking every time is not exactly convenient.
👛 With an e-wallet
In the VouWallet e-wallet you can pay for platforms such as Steam, PlayStation, Roblox, PUBG and Mobile Legends in rubles, and all you need to sign up is a phone number. You can top up the wallet with a bank card.

VouWallet has one of the lowest fees for topping up Steam in the CIS — the real fee is only 5%.
