  TO WGTICON

  not having a credit card,ive always used the mobile phone option.

  why have the credits been slashed in half.   514 credits for £5.   when it has been 900 odd.

  and the same for the £10 option  ,it was 2,100 credits and its now  just over 1000 credits. thats disgustin man, a right rip off.

  so at my calculations that is just over $4.50  for a sleeve of 300 credit galloways

  can you explain the reasoning behind this icon.

  I have noticed this too, what is going on . I always bought my credits through my mobile because its easier for me to keep track off. Why has the charges basically doubled , I would like an answer please, unless the Dollar has crashed in the last couple of weeks, I am perplexed as to why this has jumped up in price. 

  Can someone  verify the situation on this   from WGT , please.

  Hi WGT,

  I have noticed the same been playing this a while - but have to say paying nearly £10 for 2 packs of balls is a rip off (you normally get 2100 for £10) - I will not be buying anymore balls of clubs - credits have been almost halved overnight - and I have to say - WITHOUT ANY NEWS OR WARNING - spent a small fortune on this site (legend) feel a bit ripped off wgt!

  A response would be greatly appreciated.

  If the dollar crashed, you'd get more for pounds:)

  Cant see any where that it says using currency conversions.You give $20 you get 2000 credits and so on.

  Step 1: Select Amount

  $20 = 2,000 Cr

  $50 = 5,000 Cr Most Popular!

  $100 = 10,000 Cr

  $250 = 25,000 Cr

  $500 = 50,000 Cr

  OR

  $ * * * = 500WGT Credits
  

  (minimum: $1.00, maximum: $500.00)

  Security Code

  * *

  

  Visa, MasterCard, and Discover: Last 3 digits on back of card.
  American Express: Last 4 digits in small print on front of card.

  Need Help?

  Have to say this is wrong - I just got to L92 and wanted to buy L92 putter - certainly wont be doing that at these prices - sorry wgt - this is a just too much in these hard times - thanks - but NO THANKS at these prices - I can have a game with a friend in real life and enjoy more than paying these prices for what are nothing more than "fantasy clubs" - putter would cost me nearly £25 prefer to buy a REAL club!

  Think about your charges - they have been realistic in the past - gone wrong now!

  In response,

  try the mobile option - it has been halved overnight - there will be a lot off players will just quit - the reason - it is so easy to use a mobile phone to get credits while playing rather than having to find your card from your car etc - it should be the same amount of credits wherever you buy them (country etc) - makes no sense to me - it has no impact on currency conversion to wgt - wgt still get the money - down side is people in UK paying for credits on mobiles receive half the credits  - I would say that is unfair and WGT need to look into this ASAP
