    Ours is hourly for some reason, and it’s only recently they started doing that.

  Even having to wait an hour is a fantastic way to lose a sale.

    Valve could extend a limited credit for the first two hours of play time. If after downloading and playing for two hours there’s still no confirmation from the bank, they’d then block your access to the game.

      That’s actually a pretty realistic option given the 2 hour refund window.

      Maybe allow it only after 1 successful deposit, and revoke it after 1 failure for a long period and X successful payments.

    This is to top up your account, not make a purchase.

      And that’s back to my point of people not wanting to leave money places in case they want to buy a game in the future.

        Instead of leaving it in your bank account just in case?
