According to the 2023 version of Tencent’s global operation data, the top up pubg mobile service has covered 187 countries/regions (accounting for 92% of the distribution areas), but regional restrictions still exist: For instance, Turkey is subject to a 18.5% value-added tax due to local payment regulations (the cost of recharging 1,000 UC has risen from 99.99 lira to 118.4 lira), while Pakistan has only supported debit card recharges since the financial regulation in 2022 (with a failure rate as high as 31%). The technical support report indicates that the main cause of the uncovered area is server latency >800ms (the measured average in Guyana, South America is 825ms±50ms), with a payment timeout probability of 68%. In contrast, the median latency in the covered area is only 63ms (the EU standard requires ≤200ms).
In terms of payment method compatibility, the official channel regionalization solution supports 94 local payment tools – in Japan, the proportion of cash recharge at 7-Eleven convenience stores is 38% (with a handling fee of 2.9%). The success rate of top up pubg mobile payment via PayTM in India was 98.3% (with a transaction peak of 12,000 transactions per minute in 2023). However, in regions such as Egypt, due to the lack of local settlement partners, only international credit cards (Visa/MasterCard) are supported, and the exchange rate loss is as high as 6.5% (the actual deduction for recharging 6,000 UC is 107 US dollars vs the official price of 99.99 US dollars). To quote the 2023 African Digital Payment Report: Telecom operator deductions (such as MTN Mobile Money) have increased the recharge efficiency in South Africa by 40% and reduced the arrival time to 9 seconds.
Typical cases of policy compliance restrictions: The ban imposed by the Indian government in 2020 prevented 120 million players from making direct recharges (the risk rate of third-party recharges soared to 42%), while Russia adopted Mir card payments due to SWIFT sanctions (the transaction fee soared to 4.5%). Tencent’s regional operation strategy shows that the payment success rate in compliant areas reaches 99.4% (standard deviation ±0.2%), while in unauthorized areas (such as Cuba), the probability of triggering account bans is 100% (based on the analysis of the 2023 account ban database with a sample size of 760,000).
In the technical solution, Tencent adopts Geolocation API 2.0 for real-time verification (latitude and longitude accuracy ±0.0001°). When the deviation between the IP address and the country code of the SIM card is detected to be greater than 500km, it implements mandatory risk control (interception rate 23.7%). Players can optimize the latency through accelerator nodes. For example, Brazilian users chose the Miami node to increase the success rate of top up pubg mobile from 51% to 89% (the latency was reduced from 380ms to 105ms). However, violation of Clause 7.2 May result in asset freezing (the average number of complaints regarding such violations reached 14,000 per month in 2022).
Future expansion plan: In 2024, Tencent will add coverage to 17 countries (including Nigeria/Kazakhstan), adopt blockchain cross-chain payment technology, and aim to enhance regional compatibility to 99%, enabling 99.2% of global players to enjoy compliant top up pubg mobile services (the current benchmark value fluctuates by 93.6%±0.8%).
