Paying at Battle.net from the UK
Blizzard's store sells its own PC games and add-ons. None of our current reviews are sold there, but plenty of UK players use it, so here are its rules.
Accepted payment methods
| Method | Accepted | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Debit and credit cards | Accepted; cards without a security code are refused. | |
| PayPal | A verified PayPal account with a card or bank behind it. Adding Balance through PayPal needs a phone number on the account. | |
| paysafecard | The UK is on Blizzard's list, though it cannot pay recurring subscriptions. | |
| Battle.net Balance cards | Sold in shops as code cards. | |
| Apple Pay, Google Pay, mobile billing, pay later | Not confirmed for the Battle.net Shop in the UK. |
Battle.net Balance
The minimum top-up is £1 and the balance is capped at £200 with an authenticator on the account, or £100 without one. New balance can show as pending for up to 24 hours. Unspent balance can be refunded within 14 days of purchase; it cannot be spent on other platforms' stores.
Refunds
Games and expansions can be refunded within 14 days if played for two hours or less. In-game items can be refunded within 14 days if not claimed or used. Items bought with virtual currency are generally not refundable.
Parental Portal
Blizzard's Parental Portal can block shop and in-game purchases and set play-time limits and schedules. Balance added before the controls were switched on can still be spent, so set them up first.
