    I imagine they have steam cards in the UK.

    The age check is only with credit cards though. Debit cards won’t verify your age.

    They force you to open a line of credit if you can’t verify your age via the other methods they have.

      What are Steam cards? It says in the article that debit cards are valid.

      Top paragraph:

      According to reports, debit cards are acceptable too.

        Steam cards are prepaid cards you can get in numerous stores(at least in the US) that have certain amounts of money on them for you to redeem, you usually can get a choice between $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, and $500, which is the highest I’ve seen. It was extremely useful to me when I was a youngin with no credit card or debit card.

          If you keep them after redeeming them, they can also be used as proof of account ownership in case your account gets hacked and stolen.
