Hello
As many of you already know the only way to buy gems is via Redeem ( only available for certain countries ) and Credit Cards. Some players are underaged so they are not allowed to buy gems since they can't get a credit card.
My suggestion is : Is there any possibility that we might see some new payments to get gems on CoC? Perhaps PaySaveCard, Mopay, ZONG or any other service either from phone services or prepaid cards.
Thank you for your time taking my suggestion
Regards
Yes, I'm surprised they don't have pay cards. They have them for every other game.Quote:

I made a detailed version of this idea a long time ago. This was the reply I got from Twister

Justinhu,
THE BAD: Unfortunately, as a few have mentioned, it is completely against Apple's Developer TOS to offer in-app purchases outside of Apple's App Store infrastructure. (There are some exceptions for subscription service, but our IAPs are what Apple call "Consumable" IAPs, so there are no exceptions).
Apple allows gifting apps and promo codes for paid apps, but there is currently no way for App Developers to issue game-specific IAP gift certificates, codes, or other ways to stay within Apple's guidelines as you've suggested.
THE MAYBE: I won't close this or put it in the ruled out section, because although it's impossible at the moment with Apple's guidelines (I did not research Google's rules, but I assume they're similar), it's something that I can't say Apple won't open up in the future.
Apple will always get their 30% of just about everything, so for this to happen, Apple would have to institute a way for App Developers to apply for gift cards for just their game, that are redeemable within their game, and then... Apple would have to be in charge of selling them. I have no idea whatsoever if Apple will ever go down that road, there are a lot of app developers I found asking for this feature, so who knows what the future holds.
For now, players will need to buy Apple Gift Cards, load the balance onto their Apple ID, then make the IAPs from the balance on their Apple ID.
Again, I applaud your effort on this idea. If Apple opens up this type of option for game developers, and Supercell embraces the possibility, I'd love to own a few gift cards (Simply for the artwork I'm sure they would have) versus buying directly from Apple. I can see a few Point of Sale impulse purchases while sitting at the Wal-Mart checkout staring at all those cards.
