Hey! I got a lot of donations to my game and I would like to use those kreds (300+, so it’s more than enough for me to cash them in) to buy content in other games.
Still, my account gladly tells me that I have 0 of them.

I won’t pay Paypal to get 30 bucks here to Argentina and then turn around and send them back to Kongregate.

Any solution for this?

When you get money for a game it goes to cash not to kreds, due to legal issues. You can buy kreds with paypal though so you don’t have to get money there to send it transfer it to kreds

Legal issues?

My 390 kres (U$S 39) will give me U$S 33.89 (330 kreds).
That’s U$S 6 that could very well buy a lot of content. And that’s not even taking into account Paypal fees.

It’s against the law for someone to pay you in credits that can only be used for things they sell themselves.

Kreds can be turned to real money.

I think Kreds are actually worth around 9cents each.

And for good reason too – reminds me of a Grapes of Wrath type scheme. I would think however that if someone requests it, it would be okay, but I don’t know the actual law.
