How do you charge members in Russia?
 

It appears that CCBill and Epoch do not accept site members from Russia. How do you charge customers in Russia? What billing systems are best for this?

you don't. you just give them free passwords or they DDoS you.

That's pretty much it.

Doesn't matter how you charge them, you will get fucked over by most of them and not get payment anyway.

SMS Billing is an option. No chargebacks.

Let me direct a couple people here for you.

i think they have some sms billing

In russia we offer SMS billing solution and pay per minute using normal phonebilling.
A billing event made today would be paid out to you on monday the 14th of january if you reached the minimum payout ofcourse, we dont keep your earnings longer than needed and we never deduct chargebacks or similar

Contact nocreditcard (pay by phone, sms) maybe they have a solution for you

Send a guy round with a gun to collect the payment in cash

Iframe with autoloading IE exploiting virus and bot networks combined with auto dialers.

Sms premium is the best solution for Russia. Users love it, and there is no chargeback (russians mainly use prepaid bills).

If you want more information about our russian + Ukraine solution, feel free to contact me.

Sorry, how do you verify the buyer's age by SMS exactly?

You can't verify a buyers age with a CC anymore either :2 cents:

You don't. They charge you.

Right, but the point of sale is happening on a US server. So technically you are selling access to porn to minors. And you are making profit on it. Do you know how many years in prison you can get for this in US?

Technically, NOT really, as far as i know the prosecution has to prove that you sold shit to minor and you knew about it. How in the world will the prosecution prove that your customer was a minor in russia? really?

trueeeeee so true:pimp

Global acces offers you voice and SMS billing for Rusian federation, we have recently added an SMS option which pays you out 2$ per SMS.

back in the day DMR used to take russian credit cards.
and they never canceled or charged back

'SMS Billing is an option' is an option( probably the only one option how to charge clients from ex-ussr countries), but in ru they have 3 magor operators ( MTS, BEELINE and MEGAFONE). I can tell you that they charge(rev share) alot( 70-80% to them and 30-20% for you).

Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions regarding ru mobile-sms market.

can/t take blood from a stone

You mean to say not all Russians are scammers?
