Buy Minecraft without Paypal and credit card
You can also buy Minecraft without a PayPal account or credit card. This is particularly interesting for under 18 year olds who are not allowed to have a PayPal account or credit card. We'll explain how to do it here.
Buy Minecraft via Sofortüberweisung.de, giropay or by direct debit
If you do not have a credit card or PayPal account, or if you are too young to use these services, you can pay Minecraft in other ways.
- Open the Minecraft website.
- If you do not have a Mojang account, click on "Register" in the top right corner.
- Enter your contact details here. You have to provide your email address, name and date of birth, set a password for your account and answer the three security questions. Then click on the green "Register" button.
- You will receive a confirmation email with a link that you must open. Your Mojang account is now activated and you can now continue to purchase Minecraft.
- Now visit the Minecraft homepage again and click on the orange button "Buy Now!" On the right.
- On the next page, click "Buy Minecraft for this account" in the upper left corner.
- Now you only have to enter your address.
- At the bottom of the page you can now choose your payment method. If you don't want to pay by credit card or PayPal, you can open up other hidden payment options with a simple click. To do this, click on the red link "Show more payment methods" at the end of the page.
- A list with various providers opens. The following three offers are available for every German buyer (see picture). Either you transfer the amount directly via the service of Sofortüberweisung.de or giropay, or you use the direct debit procedure.
- Now select the desired payment option and click on the green button at the bottom right.
- Now follow the further instructions on the page. Once you have completed the payment process, you will receive an email with the activation code and the link to download Minecraft. You can now install Minecraft on your PC.
Alternative: get a free credit card
Credit cards don't have to be expensive. Many banks, such as Wüstenrot, also offer free credit cards for checking accounts. If you don't want to open a new account, you can get a Visa credit card with the Barclaycard even without changing your account - of course also free of charge.
