Onebip Donation Service no longer available
Posted: Jul 5th, '12, 12:41
Hey guys,
once in a while I have to make an announcement that isn't any cool new update, like in this case.
Sadly we can no longer offer OneBip as a method for donations.
OneBip was sadly a pain in the butt to work with: Not only did they take the great percentage of the donations (something we were aware of from the beginning, but went through with anyways, since even the smallest donation helps), but they cause us great difficulties even getting what little money actually was left after they substracted their fees.
Since most of the time the money that should go towards us was sitting in some virtual nirvana, where it does not help us pay our servers and OneBip's support service is not helping at all ("Hello, why doesn't my balance get withdrawn to my bank account?" - Reply: "According to our data you have no active withdrawals" Yes, thank you, I know. That is exactly why I am contacting you...
) we see no point in keeping their service active.
Basically donations through Onebip that are meant for KOfK end up not reaching us at all as we have not gotten a single cent from them in months.
After watching this for way too long we have removed the Onebip donation option from KOfK and are sorry for users who did not have any other option.
We are constantly looking out for new donation methods and are always thankful for any tips, so feel free to share your ideas and links here.
Please keep in mind that KOfK is no company, but a small private site and things like gaming money cards are sadly no option for us.
If you want to suggest a mobile payment site, please make sure they actually list their fees somewhere first.
