Habbo Hotel Credits

[lilyflower]

hello!
I finally got the PIN and I wanted to buy credits for my character at habbo hotel. Since I am quite young, I don't own a credit card.
I checked the home page of paysafecard, habbo is listed as a partner company where you can use paysafecard, but I could not find the option to pay using paysafecard.
Can anyone help me?

what is habbohotel? I keep getting emails from people inviting me to join habbo.
I don't know what paysafecard is either.

I'd be careful on that site. I'm sure it was in the news a few days ago re: grooming.

Habbo Hotel has been noted since it first arrived for allowing paedo's easy access to kids.

if you are quite young i wouldn't be using that site at all. It has had a lot of publicity recently on the use of the site by paedophiles.

Well, I didn't know what Habbo Hotel was, so I asked Wikipedia.
"Habbo (previously known as Habbo Hotel) is a Finnish social networking site aimed at teenagers. The website is owned and operated by Sulake Corporation. The service began in 2000 and has expanded to include 11 online communities (or "hotels"), with users in over 150 countries. The service will extend to Turkey in July 2012. As of August 2011, over 230 million avatars have been registered. There are an average 10 million unique visitors monthly."
The idea is very nice and the fact that there are ugly criminals looking for their victims is the problem of our society. I bet the owners of this project didn't expect something like that.
As for you, lilyflower, ask your parents to help you and talk to them immediatly if someone is getting suspicious in this game. Your parents should also talk to you about the safety on the Internet (never meet the people from the chat, never tell them your real name and adress, never show them the pictures of your house and so on). It is very dangerous to talk to strangers, just like in the real life.

well, thank you everybody for your concerns and your advises.
Every chat room or online community can be misused and of course you have to be careful. Just like in real life! I am always careful in every online community (there are a lot of weirdos on facebook too!) and I am old enough to avoid risks.
@boxtops: 1. habbo is kind of an online community where you can meat and chat with others about your problems.
2. Paysafecard is an online payment method.
