Why payments may fail and what to do — practical and up-to-date tips:
Check payment methods available in your region
Epic Games usually supports:
bank cards;
e-wallets (availability depends on the country);
Epic Games gift cards;
PayPal (if available in your region).
Available options vary by country, and some methods may be temporarily disabled.
Bank card issues
insufficient funds;
the bank flagged the payment as suspicious;
the card doesn’t support international online payments.
What to do:
try a different card;
contact your bank to confirm the payment wasn’t blocked.
Epic Games Launcher errors
Sometimes the launcher fails to process card details correctly.
Try completing the payment via a web browser instead.
Epic Games account issues
Outstanding charges, disputed transactions, or security restrictions can block payments.
Check your transaction history.
VPN or unstable connection
Payments made through VPNs are often declined.
Disable the VPN and switch to a stable internet connection.
Incorrect payment details
Double-check the card expiry date, CVV, cardholder name, and country.
Any mismatch can cause a decline.
If payments still fail
try another payment method;
clear the launcher or browser cache;
contact Epic Games support with error details and timestamps.
If Epic Games ignores the issue, refuses to explain payment failures, or blocks payments without valid reasons, document the case on Xolvie. This can help speed up resolution and protect your rights.
