Entropia Universe feature a "Real Cash Economy" (RCE) which means that the ingame currency Project Entropia Dollars (PED) has a fixed exchange rate rate of 10:1 to the US Dollar. You can convert real-world cash money into game currency as well as the other way round: withdraw game money to your real world bank account. This guide is about Depositing money into Entropia Universe, the guide for Withdrawing can be found there: Withdrawing money from Entropia Universe, alternative methods to get PED are discussed there: About Making Money in Entropia Universe.

Legal considerations: Players don't own anything and there is no real money in game[edit]

By the Entropia Universe EULA and ToU there is no real-world money inside Entropia Universe. Everything in game incl. avatars, their skills, in-game money, etc are parts of the Entropia Universe system belonging to MindArk and partner companies. Players of Entropia Universe do not own anything.


These are the relevant sections in the EULA and ToU:

Entropia Universe End User License Agreement (EULA):

...

7. Virtual Currency Transfers and Fund Transactions

...

The terms in this paragraph 7 do not apply to Your participation within the Entropia Universe Starting Area.

The Entropia Universe incorporates a PED Card System connected to each Account, through which MindArk administers the funds You transfer to and withdraw from the Entropia Universe (the “PED Card”).

You may use MindArk’s approved and secured fund transfer methods to increase by deposits and/or decrease by withdrawals the PED balance on Your PED Card. The deposited funds are converted by MindArk to PED that may be used by You as virtual currency in the Entropia Universe. If You choose to deposit or withdraw funds to or from the Entropia Universe You hereby agree to any costs and fees involved in all fund transfers.

One way to deposit money into the game is via the EntropiaUniverse.com website. That way you can deposit without using the game client.

Below you can find the process exemplified using Paysafecard, the process is slightly different for other depositing methods. Should you experience any issues you might want to:

  • check the Depositing F.A.Q. further below on this page
  • ask questions on the guides & help forum
  • file a support case

  • Browse to http://www.EntropiaUniverse.com, in the top menu bar click "Account & Support", alternatively click this direct link:

  • On the "Account & Support" page click "Account", alternatively click this direct link:

  • On the "Account" page click the "Deposits" button, alternatively click this direct link:

  • If you are not logged in yet you are asked to do so now

  • On the deposit methods page please choose a method/provider (this guide will continue using Paysafecard for example)

  • Enter the amount you want to deposit and choose the currency of your Paysafecard, click "Continue"

  • Click "Transfer" to confirm the deposit with the displayed conditions

  • You are redirected to Paysafecard.com to enter the code and finalize the deposit

  • You are redirected back to EntropiaUniverse.com and the transaction is confirmed

  • The transaction should be shown in your personal transaction history with status "Committed", to check that click in the left menu bar "My Account" -> "Transaction History"

  • In game the transaction is confirmed with a message, to display it either check the "Message Center" or click the little golden "i" symbol in the chat panel

  • EntropiaUniverse.com depositing page (login required): https://account.entropiauniverse.com/account/deposits/paysafecard-deposit/
  • Service provider on Wikipedia: Paysafecard
  • Service provider website: http://www.paysafecard.com/
  • Tip: Often you can for less than the actual value of the card. For example 100 Euro Paysafecards sometimes sell for 90-95 Euro which means a discount of 60-120 PED. So when you plan to deposit you might want to check whether there are Paysafecards (or Ukash vouchers) for sale. But please be careful and make sure to avoid fraudulent sellers!
