So I just started acouple days ago and I really like a game... Unfortunately the donation house hasnt worked for andriod since I started.. is anyone else having this issue?

This is unfortunately due to payment policy restrictions by Google, we cannot display "non google" payment options via the app.

We will soon be introducing Googleplay payments though, this is currently in alpha testing.

Thank you for wanting to support us - for the meantime you can get around this restriction by viewing Torn in your phone browser - if you go to www.torn.com on your phone or PC browser (using chrome for example) and log in at the top of the page there you can access the donator house page and buy packs/subscribe using Amazon, PayPal or Cryptocurrency options.

If you log in with a browser you can use donator house. Don't use the app for that

EDIT: i never use the app. No option on installing doctorN and slow

Please provide another payment method without using a credit card. I'd really love to use it. Something like Googleplay or steam wallet XD

Yeah I just figured everything out .. i mean it's kinda shitty they haven't put out Google pay yet... But j guess I can wait lol .. this game reminds me of drug dealer on newgrounds... Except this time you can actually upgrade stats join factions and so much more ???

The primary reason we put it off was due to the cost involved, PayPal charge around 2% per transaction compared to 30% for Googleplay - their policy update has forced a change but we are at the stage now where it should be a net benefit for Torn. :)

Torn is set out as a long term game that we operated for many years and hope to have running for many years to come.

Something something speculate to accumulate and other business stuff.

PayPal does not require a credit card. For buying donator packs you can use your PayPal wallet, which you can transfer money to from your bank account.
To sign up to subscription services (like subscriber status on torn), you must have a verified PayPal account. You can verify your account by adding either a credit card, or automatic collection from your bank account. If you choose to do this, I would highly recommend setting up two factor authentication on PayPal for security reasons.

It requires me to use the third party in order to top up my Paypal balance. Would be nice if it doesn't
SVD_NL [2363978]
Like a normal bank transaction right? The automatic top up should only be required for being a subscriber, not for buying donator packs.

For being a subscriber it has to verify you've got enough credit, dealing with payment errors is a lot of work for developers

PayPal fees aren't an issue, and adding an additional payment system is not a straight forward process.

The trust value of PayPal is also very valuable. It's not one we have any plans to replace.
