For the longest time, I bought in-game currency the way most people do—through the game’s built-in store. It felt safe, simple, and familiar. But after a few delays and unexpected fees, I started wondering if there was a better option out there.

I didn’t go looking for a “hack” or anything sketchy. I just wanted something that worked better. Some of my friends mentioned they’d been using a site called Manabuy. They said it was fast, cheaper, and didn’t ask for your login info—just your player ID. I wasn’t sure at first, but I figured it couldn’t hurt to try.

So I tested it with a small top-up for Free Fire. The steps were super clear: pick your game, enter your ID, choose the amount, and pay. No account needed, no weird steps. The Diamonds showed up in less than two minutes. Honestly, it was smoother than I expected.

Then I looked at how much I paid—and realized it was cheaper than what I usually spend in the app. Not a huge difference, but enough to make me curious. I went back during one of their discount events, and that’s when I really saw the savings. Some games had 20% or more off compared to regular prices.

Since then, I’ve been using Manabuy pretty much anytime I need to top up. I use it for Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, and even PUBG Mobile. It’s not just about the discount—it’s also about not waiting forever for the currency to arrive or dealing with errors when the store doesn’t process the payment.

I’m not saying everyone needs to switch right away. But if you’ve ever had a top-up fail, or you’re tired of paying more than you should, it’s worth checking out. Try it with a small purchase and see how it works for you.

Sometimes the easiest upgrades are the ones that just remove the annoying parts. For me, this was one of them.
