- Compatible credit cards, such as some Visa ones, which give a 1% free point bonus on purchase,
- PayPal, which can bypass most credit cards limitations,
- DMM point cards, which are items that give a code to be activated on the DMM website, being available in Japan and on some websites.
As DMM credit cards and DMM point cards are mostly limited to Japan only, this guide only covers the PayPal and Credit Card options.
