Magic Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 This has been in my mind for the last couple days and I wanted to know if we can text a certain number that donates 5 bucks for example to HG and it is charged to our cell phone bill. I've seen stuff like this for games like Texas Hold'em on Facebook. If we don't have this feature I say we should as it helps HG get money to keep their servers running and is easier for some members since they might not have a paypal. +1 if you agree and why or -1 if you disagree and why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pineapple Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 +1 I do like this idea Actually. There is a company called Zong (http://www.Zong.com), that supports things like that. I am not sure how complicated it would be, but all I know it can work, and would benefit HeLLsGamers alot! What do you guys think? PS: Wrong Section Mate, I will get someone to move it for you!

LazaHorse Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Problem with that is you're gonna have a lot of minors texting in donations that their parents don't know about or wouldn't authorize. Could become messy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 True. Again I can agree with your pleas to why this could be bad, but we can work around this i'm sure of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyHorse Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 This discussion has been brought up before, can't find the thread but like laz said...there will be numerous donations that will most likely get retracted due to kids using their parents cell phone plans. not only that, most services that allow you to donate with a cell phone take at least 10-15 percent extra profit. +1i like the idea, my parents dont give a fuck if i spend my money on something they dont know about Rest my case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60Seconds Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Good idea, but how would we identify ourselves for the donation? And you know what, fuck the parents. If they raise their kids badly enough that they would do that, it's their problem. In my opinion, HG is not liable for people's parents' stupidity.

The Prodigy Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I have to +1 it because i'd definitely use it. It's a quick and easy way to donate. Also we shouldn't have irresponsible kids that just spam donations from their phone in our clan. Lol but there is some Pros and Cons to this idea. Personally I like it.

Magic Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Why would HG let irresponsible kids in anyway? They would probably have to many bans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a small community of gamers not the frekin red cross... Why are you raging soo hard, calm down bro. There is a mobile app for ppl to look at the forums right? Why cant their be a mobile donation system? Some people are not able to use paypal and choose not to because they do not want to link their bank accounts or credit cards to them because they do not think its safe. Maybe they think its easier to put their celly so they can get drunk text from Migra. So why not put the idea out there to possible make a little extra $$$ for a club night for staff and council? Instead of having all those adds play on the servers they can be replaced with "text 666 to donate $5 to HellsGamers Community of Friends" why say frekin? why not just go all the way and say fuckin red cross?

Grow a pair damn it i aint raging or anything not trying to be mad im a happy guy : ). But I hate it when people give unnecessary idea's that people would barley use. First we would have to set up a mobile number through the US and then we have to continue with other countries for people like iDigital who dont live in the US. Then theirs a fee homer has to pay for the number because not everything is free. We might give a little better convenience to you but your making a bigger inconvenience to homer and everyone else that helps with the donations and stuff etc. If you dont trust paypal then i suggest going to the nearest supermarket or 7-11 and get a prepaid credit card. I use them all the time to get admin because my credit card is used for food so with the spare cash i get from my parents i buy admin.

60Seconds Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Phone numbers aren't that expensive and the amount of new donations we would receive with this added convenience would make up for it and much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont need paypal you just pay as a guest -.- Once you click donate in the front and you get to paypal you will come up to a page with two options Login or just put info for only this one time after your done just click done and it will donate it.
