Ways to pay for football tips
We offer several ways to pay for our football tips and other services. In this post I want to talk about each one in turn, listing some pros and cons and when that payment type would be right for you.
Credit / Debit Card
This is the most flexible option and only requires that you have access to a credit or debit card of some sort. You enter your details into our secure form and our trusted payment provider Stripe store all the details.
Pros
- You don’t need to sign up anywhere else
- You can cancel from our website without needing to contact us for support
- You can make use of discount vouchers we sometimes share
- Membership setup is automatic, you get access to the tips immediately in most cases
Cons
- If your bank or card company declines the payment we can’t give you much more information than that
- Some banks and card companies don’t let you pay for international services from them
PayPal
For a long time this was our only payment option, and is still the preferred option by a lot of our users. You enter in some details on our site and then get taken to PayPal to complete the purchase in a secure way.
Pros
- You can cancel directly from PayPal itself
- Setting up a PayPal account is quick and free
- PayPal is used by thousands of other online shops and services
- Membership setup is automatic, you get access to the tips immediately in most cases
Cons
- You need to set up a PayPal account
- If you run out of money in your PayPal account, it will automatically take it from your attached other accounts
Forms of payment we don’t accept
I want to wrap this up by sharing a handful of payment types we don’t accept.
- Western Union – Collecting money is a huge amount of effort and often simple things like small typos in the spelling of a name meant we couldn’t collect.
- MPesa – We would really love to accept MPesa but we can’t find a good company that would let a UK based website like ours use it without huge fees.
- Netteller – We tried to get an account before and couldn’t.
- Skrill – We used to use them but their fees were too high.
- Bank Transfer – We used to allow this but found it was too confusing for most people across different countries.
