The online Game card is a physical credit card provided by RCS in collaboration with Game stores, enabling purchases at Game outlets and on the Game website. You can apply for this card online or in-store.
How does Game card work?
The Game credit card comes loaded with funds that can be utilised across 20,000 retailers nationwide, including all RCS-enabled stores. The card's credit limit depends on the owner's income level and other underwriting considerations.
The account offers two payment terms for users to select from, 24 and 36 months. The user selects their preferred plan during the application process.

What is a Game account?
It operates like a shop credit that accumulates interest, provided that the minimum payment is maintained. If your application is successful, your account will be credited with funds ranging between R750 and R50,000.
You can use the account to purchase items from the Game website. You are also eligible for three extra cards, which your friends and family members can use.
As the Game account holder, you are responsible for paying any credit your family and friends spend via the additional cards linked to your primary Game account. Failing to pay the monthly instalment may result in the credit being reduced.
