A virtual card handles payments for foreign subscriptions and services. Games are often a different task: instead of starting a subscription, you need to add in-game currency to a specific account, buy a game on Steam or send Telegram Stars. A platform that tops up the account directly by its identifier is better suited for that. One such platform is GiftGameStore, an independent partner platform that works with games and digital goods. Below is what you can buy there and how an order works.
What you can buy on GiftGameStore
- Mobile game top-ups by player ID. In-game currency is credited to the account by its identifier — for example, in Mobile Legends, PUBG Mobile, Genshin Impact or Free Fire. You do not need to log into the game through a third-party site or share your password.
- Steam wallet top-ups. Steam wallets can be topped up in rubles, US dollars and tenge — pick the option that matches your account currency.
- Steam gifts. You can buy a game as a gift to your own Steam account when you want a specific game rather than wallet funds.
- Telegram Stars and Telegram Premium. For these items you enter your Telegram username in the @username format instead of an ID.
- Gift cards. Codes for stores and services that you redeem on your own account.
Paying in rubles
The catalog prices items in rubles, and you can pay in rubles — for example, via SBP from your banking app. You do not need a foreign card for these purchases, and the total is shown before payment, so you can check it before confirming. This makes for a convenient split: subscriptions and services that only accept a foreign card go on the virtual card, while games, Steam and Telegram go through the platform in rubles.
The nickname is checked before payment
The most common top-up mistake is a typo in the ID. One wrong digit and the currency lands on someone else's account, and the details cannot be changed after payment.
GiftGameStore catches this in advance: you enter the ID (and the server, if the game requires one), and the platform shows the account nickname before you pay. If the nickname is not yours, a digit is wrong, and you can fix it before any money is charged. For some games this check is not possible: in that case the platform says so clearly, and you need to verify the details yourself.
Where to find your player ID
Find your account details before ordering — it takes less time than fixing a mistake afterwards.
- Open your in-game profile: the ID is usually shown next to the nickname or in the account settings.
- If the game splits players by servers or regions, note the server too — the platform will ask for it along with the ID.
- Copy the ID instead of retyping it by hand: that leaves less room for a wrong digit.
- Telegram Stars and Premium do not need an ID — only your username, which is shown in Telegram settings.
How a purchase works
- Choose an item. Find the game or service in the catalog and pick a denomination: the amount of currency, the top-up amount or the subscription period.
- Enter the ID. For a game, the player ID and the server if needed; for Telegram, your @username. The player ID is usually shown in the in-game profile.
- Check the nickname. Compare the nickname the platform shows with your own. If it does not match, go back and recheck the digits.
- Pay. Payment is made in rubles. Bank card details go straight to the bank; the platform's site never sees them.
- Receive the order. The currency is credited to the account automatically after payment, and the order status updates on the same page.
What to know in advance
- Your game account password is not needed at any step. If someone asks for it, it is a scam.
- A receipt arrives by email right after payment. Keep it until the order is complete: the order number helps support answer faster.
- GiftGameStore support works around the clock on Telegram and handles questions about orders, payment and delivery.
- If the platform cannot check the nickname for the selected game, double-check the ID: it cannot be changed after payment.
Where to find it
The game catalog, Steam top-ups, Telegram Stars and gift cards are on the GiftGameStore website. It is a separate partner platform with its own terms and its own support, so ask it about orders rather than VirtCardPay support.
And for subscriptions and services that only accept a foreign card, a virtual Visa or Mastercard is still the tool to use.
