How to create a Kazakhstan Battle.net account?
After the introduction of sanctions against Russia in 2022, gamers living in its territory faced a number of difficulties. For example, many games became inaccessible, as well as the ability to pay for various services within already purchased games. This situation also affected users of the popular online platform Battle.net provided by Blizzard Entertainment. Now players from Russia are unable to purchase new games from this developer, buy products from the store, pay for World of Warcraft subscription, and much more. However, this situation can be resolved by purchasing a Kazakh Battle.net account. Today, we will talk about this.
Why do you need a Kazakh Battle.net account?
Naturally, because no political and economic restrictive measures have been imposed on the neighboring country. This is the first reason. As mentioned above, due to the sanctions, gamers with Russian residency cannot buy new games or upgrade their old ones. Additionally, they cannot register a new profile using a Russian phone number. However, if you buy a Kazakh Battle.net account, these problems are easily solved.
The second reason is the payment method. This problem also arises from the situation with the sanctions, as it is known that foreign platforms do not accept payment cards issued by Russian banks. Kazakh ones, however, do accept them. Another well-known fact is that it is not so difficult for a Russian to obtain a functional banking card from Kazakhstan. If you take care of this before creating a Kazakh account on Battle.net, you can confidently expect a positive outcome.
However, let's start with another option for accessing a game profile with a Kazakh residency. Yes, we are talking about changing the Battle.net account to Kazakhstan.
Transferring a Battle.net account to Kazakhstan
In theory, any gamer has the ability to transfer their Battle.net account to Kazakhstan using the country change function. If this function is not available, you can contact support and provide the necessary documents (to confirm that you are really in the country requested for the change).
Keep in mind that the balance of your Battle.net wallet should not exceed the set limit in order for you to be allowed to change the country or region. Please note that when changing the country or region, your current Battle.net wallet balance may be reset, as the support team does not have the ability to convert your funds into another currency.
Before transferring your Battle.net account to Kazakhstan, make sure you are not participating in closed alpha or beta testing. Otherwise, you may lose your game progress in the previous region until the International Access feature is enabled for that game. Also, keep in mind that you may lose access to the game if testing is not available in your new region.
As you can see, this method has many pitfalls, and in practice, customer support does not accommodate Russian users. Except for those who managed to make local friends before transferring their Battle.net account to the Kazakh region (this is how you can obtain the necessary documents, but we do not recommend this method, as the result can be very unsatisfactory, up to profile suspension shortly after the deception is discovered). There is a more efficient and safe method.
