Pay for Russian
Reply on sbox.game-
Hello.
I am writing to you with a serious problem that I encountered when trying to withdraw my earned funds. Currently, the system does not allow you to link a Russian phone number, and there is also no way to withdraw funds to a Russian bank account.
This is an extremely sensitive issue for me. The actual lack of available withdrawal methods puts me in a very difficult position.
I understand that the restrictions may be related to external circumstances, but please consider offering alternative payment options for users from Russia.
I kindly ask you not to ignore this issue and give a comment on this situation:
— is it planned to restore the possibility of withdrawal;
— Are there alternative payment methods?;
— whether there are temporary solutions for current users.
Thank you in advance for your reply and help. -
matek, if you see this, don't think that some wild madness is happening again in the ru community. I'm not responsible for all russians.

Not facepunch’s problem
-
ehh. If they do that they can be held accountable.
With all of the restrictions with the Russian banks and payment platforms I don't think it would make sense for facepunch, -
Maybe you guys can vote Putin out and then you'll have access to global financial services again
-
You can withdraw money through Kazakhstan; it's not a big problem to implement.
-
Why discuss politics and bring up the subject, if initially I didn't even write a word about it? Are you upset about something?
-
why is everyone becoming political out of nowhere?!?? i get that political issues caused this to happen, but we can put that aside and try helping the guy, not just make his situation worse, poor dude just wants his playfund money and you guys are dogging on his situation
-
It’s difficult to discuss the problem when the cause of the problem is politics and sanctions as its consequence. Garry has already explained this
We're particularly sensitive to people wanting to be paid out in obscure places, so when looking at a payment provider, the ability to pay out to as many countries as possible is on our mind. Obviously, if a country has sanctions against it, we won't be able to send money to people in that country until the sanctions are lifted.

Yeah, I hope the creator finds a seperate way, i've heard that russias been cracking down on crypto payments and other stuff recently so hope the poster can find a seperate way to convert and get their deserved money
-
This is not up to Facepunch or Tipalti.
The best way to send playfund to Russia is through a trusted friend that receives it, then sends it to you via crypto.
There used to be some more legit apps/websites that would do it without crypto, but eventually even those stopped offering it to Russia.
EDIT: If you have money pending, you'll have to contact Tipalti support to change your address -
no politics, please
-
Matek, sometimes there are things that shouldn't be discussed in public.
-
I'm wondering even if Facepunch wanted to spend resources trying to find an alternative for Russians, what are even the options? Does Valve even pay out Russians anymore or did they also stop once they got cut off from the western world for invading Ukraine?
-
valve stopped paying into bank accounts located in Russia when the sanctions hit against financial institutions. Despite this Russian UGC creators just set up bank accounts in neighbouring countries, either in a family or friends name or falsifying information.
-
Why not let us buy s&box skins with money earned from Play fund? That would partly fix the issue.
-
Imagine owner of darkrp with his 50k bucks of playfund buying directly from the store. 2+2 =4 now think if it’s healthy for the market. For you russian, yes it’s cool because you would evade bank transfers and for others not really.
-
The cosmetics at the end of the day are Steam items that end up in your inventory, so there's probably an agreement in the partner terms that says you can't sell items outside of Steam as that would mean going around their 30% fee.
-
I don’t know what’s worse: the poor dude doomed to suffer just for being born at the wrong time and place, or political degenerates trying to smear everyone with that socialist imaginary bullshit called “collective responsibility.” I hope you’ll find a way to get paid like I did with my cousin’s Uzbek card. But yeah, the world sucks when all financial transactions depend on the outdated SWIFT , and useful idiots (to use the KGB term) pushing someone else’s agenda don’t make it any better.
-
Dude above being defensive towards russians while being russian is the funniest stuff I’ve seen today
-
Bro thinks calling like half of this thread's posters "political degenerates" and "useful idiots" somehow helps his case.
Hope the war ends soon, but won't be surprised Steam and VPN get banned in Russia sooner than that happens.
