I need your opinion about having bitcoin for payments in online games, it is good or nah?

Using bitcoin as payments for in-game items and upgrades is very useful since many people are capable of technology devices though bitcoin and online games are done by computers.

I thinks its very efficient for me as a gamer and a bitcoin user to have a transaction or payment like that.

Fortunately, my bitcoin wallet provider here in the Philippines (coins.ph) supports the option of converting my bitcoins to in-game currency through conversion of coins. Whenever I use that function, large online game providers like steam, level-up games, etc. are available into converting my coins to their respective currency. Due to the rise of e-sports competitiveness, online games are currently rising in terms of reputation and number of daily/new players per day. This provides bitcoin as an excellent source which in return can potentially attract individuals into using it.

I am a gamer also and I've been using PayPal as a payment in any games that I need to top up.
I've been looking for this kind of opportunity if it will surely exist in the future.
I prefer bitcoin over PayPal as it is easy to use.

It’s really good concept but there is already skincoin is available which is dedicated to gaming industry the name of the coin suggest different skin in the game . If you want to implement bitcoin it’s good idea.

Yes its good. I think in steam they are already accepted bitcoin as our payment for our purchase game there. And i think its good because we dont need to withdraw it first we just need to send our bitcoin in our account there and i think it is good we can directly send it to there. And i think yes it can be. so why dont you try to use bitcoin now in their so that you will be familariaze.

Like the wallet we use hear in the Philippines, namely coins.ph has an option if we wanted to buy game credits such steam, cherry and Level up. It is good idea because a lot of gamers doesn't have time to visit any 711 store or card store just to buy top up cards. This would help a lot of gamers to spend less time in looking for a seller.

Yes that is true, it is more convenient to gamers if they can use bitcoin to pay or buy cards for games through coins.ph wallet , in our country. If they can do the same in other countries then that is really nice idea. In our country we can even pay bills like electricity or water through bitcoin.

As an additional option, of course yes why not.

Right now, it was only possible thru using local bitcoin exchanger and then will fund our balance at third party services that credited the online game. If it's going to be a direct payment in bitcoin then it will be a no hassle method. Im looking forward to this since then but online game provider I think doesn't receiving mass request about that so it was not being considered.

Bitcoin as payment for online games is found with steam. This has never been that used as the fiat and bank transfer. Even now the acceptance of bitcoin as payment keeps on increasing, so maybe soon we can expect bitcoin acceptance over other gaming services.

i think its a good idea to make bitcoin payment for the online games but its quite difficult because bitcoin has a high value right ? i ask first if you buy bitcoin it is exoensive this cannot afford by the other gamers and like the ecoin garena shell i think its good to make bitcoin card to make the pin address and the password of the PIN numbers and many games in the world is using cryptocurrencies i suggest that making a card bitcoin will be helpful

It is a good idea because online games fits better in online payments for it. Example are online items in a specific game. We are paying in fiat and pay in a certain remittance center in order to acquire what you buy. It is time efficient and less hassle when you really need as soon as possible in a specific game.

What about transaction fees? I am not sure if it would make sense long term. If we had lightning networks implemented then maybe.

Maybe it will you use to buy game or purchase item in game.like steam you will buy game and purchase item. Bitcoin will use because its digital currency and its to obtain .

That would be cool maybe if you achieve certain things you will get free bitcoins like more satoshi money and that you can spend on buying more games form them that would be awesome i think steam is already working on that.

Lightning network will allow for instant payment with bitcoin so lag will not be a problem soon.
Bitcoin should and will be accepted everywhere soon so games that will not support bitcoin payment will lose customers.

1xBit.. recovered their reputation

I think it's still too difficult to make Bitcoin made in payments in online games, because credit cards and paypal is very easy to use it in online games

BItcoin as an online payment for games that is really good even I use Bitcoin as online payment for games. Steam the biggest gaming platform accepts bitcoin as payment. I have also used Bitcoin to buy in-game items, websites like G2A and OPSkins accept bitcoin that is actually very helpful for people who cannot use their parent's credit cards every time especially to buy games and in-game items. But buying games and in-game items would not be suggested by me because of the prices going down recently. One of my friends just bought a 300$ in-game item yesterday irrespective of the bitcoin prices going down.
Many people are using bitcoin to buy games online currently. I hope many other websites start accepting bitcoin as well.

I think that it would be such a massive upgrade if they would i tegrate it to gamig platforms. That way there couldbe another added venue for transactions totake placeand with bitcoin accessible to every alsmostdevice and wallet it would makegaming easier and better

I am also one of the steam player and regularly play CS:GO, as steam also accept bitcoin payments for purchase of both ingame items and games. I love using my bitcoin to purchase those items there and I find it quite useful because still people from many countries can't use their credit cards to pay online.

I am waiting for google play store to add bitcoin as payment method in near future.

Blockchain the future of democratic payment!

I think Korea is the largest gaming country that must be regulated by bitcoin, in this case it will be huge step for that country and the blockchain!

It's a great addition of course. That's why Steam, the biggest gaming platform, already enabling wallet top-up with Bitcoin. The industry revolving around online gaming like in-game item trading, match betting, gambling, etc also use Bitcoin as the main payment (withdrawal and deposit) method.

Having bitcoin payment method is good but the main problem is the transaction time and cost. If you are playing a game and instantly want to buy something a btc transaction can even take an hour or so. So first we should make bitcoin more swift then inculcate it in gaming.

I will be the odd one that says NO at this stage. In a game you want to do instant transactions. < no waiting > Bitcoin cannot offer you that at the moment. It would be better if you use some in-game currency that you can sell for BTC. So this is how this will work : Player A buy a in game currency, let's call it "bottle caps" or "caps" for short. The player buy these "caps" from the game and pay with Bitcoin.

You use these "caps" and when you want to withdraw the monetary value in BTC, you sell it back to the game. Player A and Player B will not deal in BTC, but rather trade in "Bottle caps"
