BrainKing.info - the BrainKing game site knowledge base

It's been a long time, huh?

Since I am continuously (well, actually with kind of rest periods, longer or shorter) working on redesigning and rewriting the BrainKing game site, which should result in a version 3.0 when it is finished, there was almost nothing to post here. However, I have decided to share some design ideas and important changes/improvements of functionality soon, so people would get the picture of our new approach. More details later. Soon.

Anyway, there is still one hot information to announce. Since I received a couple of questions from BrainKing users who wanted to pay for a membership with MasterCard, using AlertPay payment gateway, and got a response "sorry, this merchant does not accept MasterCard payments", I started to investigate this strange issue. After logging to my AlertPay account, everything was clear - AlertPay simply applied new security rules to all account holders who want to accept credit card payments through their websites. After filling a simple form, regarding our site description etc., I have just received an approval, so everything should be OK at the moment. This is the full statement:

"You may accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express payments through your website. However, your payments may be placed on hold for a limited time. We place some credit card payments on “hold” to ensure the security of the transaction and to decrease the chances of fraudulent payments made through our service. After this period, you will have full access to your funds."

So, if you decide to use your card to purchase a BrainKing membership and your transaction is not processed instantly, please be patient and don't hesitate to contact me with any further questions.

Back to work.
