Leflam91: Hello.
My proposal was to buy a game for someone with those funds and get another game from him by Steam. Your solution is really good and I will gladly consider it. Thank you for the quick reply.
It seems that I cant get a gift since I am receiving this message.
Purchasing gifts via Wallet, credit/debit card, and PayPal is not yet enabled on this account. These security measures are automatically lifted three months after completing purchases worth $10 / €9.19 / £6.69 / A$13.99 / 719.00 RUB / 55 DKK / 70 NOK / 65 SEK / 30 PLN / C$10 / 10 CHF / R$32 in total. Please keep in mind that you can always purchase gifts through another payment method. If you have any questions or concerns, our customer support team is ready to help.
This is a measure that GOG put in place to reduce the amount of abusive purchases that were occurring where people make many accounts in countries like Russia so they can buy gift codes at rock bottom prices, then turn around and sell them for a profit to ripoff conmen storefronts like G2A and Kinguin, who then turn around and sell them to the public pretending to be a legitimate store. This is often done with stolen credit cards on top of that so the end gamer, so not only is the store ripped off, but the end gamer who buys the ripoff game from these illegitimate sites is ripped off when the game is removed from their account due to fraud etc. The gamer ends up beign pissed off and hating on GOG for it, and everyone loses.
So they put measures in place to clamp down on people abusing the store policies and fraud, by requiring all accounts to make legitimate purchases of games directly into the account itself of a high enough dollar value to verify to some degree that it isn't just a scammer making accounts to purchase game codes for profit via fraud.
One more thing worth noting, is that under normal circumstances when games are on sale you can buy them for yourself at the stated sale price, however when you are able to buy gifts - some games do not permit gifting a game at the same discount as you can buy it for yourself. Some games have a lower discount if being purchased as a gift code to be given away compared to if you buy it for yourself. Likewise, this is done to reduce the amount of fraud of people buying gift codes then selling them for profit.
Hope this helps understand the situation.
