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.
