    Hi

    I'm going to be releasing a game and I'd like to sell in game credits like others do. "Virtual currency" is what it's called. This virtual currency is purchased by real money. Say 50 credits for $10 perhaps.

    What payment processor can you recommend that I use for handling the transaction. After checking around to see what others are doing, looks like Paypal is in, any others?

    Can the user cash out the virtual currency for real money? If, so this would be gambling and you would need a processor that supports online gambling. If not, it's still a high-risk model, and Paypal and most others wouldn't allow it. You would most likely need to look for a high risk processor to pull this off. Most processors I've seen do not like the risk associated with this sort of processing.

    Have a look a liberty reserve or check out some of the gold based digital currencies
    they usually accept these type of activities.

    You can use iVerified.com for this. They allow exactly what you are doing. I use them and they are really good.
