Looking into ways to accept donations and payments to help support the game, and kind of hitting brick walls. All the half decent sounding paypal alternatives I've found are US only, except google wallet, which mysteriously refuses to accept my details, though they should be fine. I don't want to use my regular paypal account as they have a history of flipping out over erotical things, and I use it for other purposes.
I'm looking at going back to my original idea, of having a silly short story - probably MMM related, maybe just tangentially - for sale on smashwords, so people who want to support can buy that, and get a fun silly story too. The downsides would be that it'd be a fixed price, and that smashwords only pays out quarterly, which isn't ideal.
I think I'll go with it anyway, at least as a stopgap. But anyways - anyone know a good UK available alternative?
I'll have a new build up tomorrow, hopefully, with a few new buts and bobs and fixes, and a awesome new art from Sharona.

Maybe this works for you: http://www.justgiving.com/justtextgiving - I'm no UK citizen so I don't know much about it. It's a fundraising service though, not exactly a PayPal alternative.
Also, do you have a Visa or Mastercard? I tried to use my EC card with google wallet at first, didn't work until I changed it to my prepaid VISA card.
I had a look, and that seems to be for charities. MMM is many things, but a charity ain't one of them. :P Thanks for the suggestion though.
My card is one of the ones that *should* work with google wallet, no idea why it's not.
I'm afraid I'm not too knowledgeable on the subject, so I just looked at Wikipedia to see if they have a list or more detailed information on there available. This was my start point:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payment_service_provider
I'll let you know if I do find anything of note.
Actually, looks like there is a list of providers at the bottom of that linked page. So that might be the place to look through possible providers to try and find one that accepts accounts in the UK, and allows for pornographic material.
Thanks TDM, I'll look into those! I might have a solution soon...
Why don't you ask fen how he does his?
