phone payments

[David]

so pretty much all sites similar to daopay are out of the question?
LETS ALL USE ROSS' SITE WWW.SMSTOPAYPAL.COM

As you may have noticed Habbox has been unable to offer premium services for several months. This has been due to changes in UK legislation which has affected us. We have been in discussion with our solicitors and UK premium services regulator Phonepayplus but having been unable to reach an agreement and as a result we have had to remove our phone payment services.

You can still donate or purchase VIP via Paypal and we are currently working on a solution for the Christmas charity sale. Any thoughts or comments please post in Habbox Feedback.

Great idea.

The problem would still exist for us even with Ross' website. The problem is with the regulators, before it was free for us as we were under a limit for the amount we generate via SMS and Phone payments. However now the regulators have removed that limit so regardless of how much you earn you still need to pay for fees.

Is it not possible to set it up as a charitable organisation for Christmas, even if it wouldn't be possible for regular donator?

Not possible. A business needs to be wholly and exclusively set up for charitable purposes. Habbox donating profits once a month does not a charity make.

The Charity Act 2011 pretty much covers what a charity is, and none of the purposes of Habbox makes it a charity, as it doesn't seek to advance, improve or prevent anything. It's solely to benefit a load of teenagers as a place to chat, nothing exceptional or life changing.
