Another iOS Turkish deal…

Membership must be inactive / expired FIRST

Follow the onscreen steps. In the mobile number section use your Australian mobile number (Very important to use a valid number or risk losing your ID). Choose country as Turkey. Then follow through the rest to create your ID. Login into Apple ID on a browser. Go to this(appleid.apple.com) link to enter a Turkish address to your Turkish Apple ID, select payment method as none and save.

  • Go to Settings on your iPhone/iPad > Your Name > Media and Purchases > Log out from your current ID and login with your Turkish Apple ID
  • Buy TL iTunes gift cards from TurGame(turgame.com) > Choose currency as TL/TRY and pay with international transaction fee free card.
  • Redeem iTunes gift cards(apple.co) by going to App Store > Account (located at right top corner) > Redeem gift cards or code
  • Download RuneScape and login on your iPhone or iPad
  • On the lobby screen select to subscribe (top right corner, requires inactive membership)
  • Select the 12 month option (best value)

$64.00 is estimate due to Turgame fees, assumes an international fee free card. Direct conversion is $63.07 though Turgame has minor fees for card payments.

p.s bond and key prices suck in TRY, only membership is a bargain.

From memory RRP in AUD is around $144.99 now

    do you need to cancel current membership? I'm on a grandfathered price and don't want to lose it

    • Dyl on 10/05/2025 - 23:36

      Current plan must be completely expired or it just says you’re already subscribed

    • Dyl on 11/05/2025 - 16:58

      Looked up terms, if you do let it expire you have 2 weeks to renew before you lose grandfathered pricing.

      I'm unsure if grandfathered pricing applies to app store though; it'll likely still be ~$64 (but that's still cheaper). If it increases, nothing stops you from switching back to the grandfathered pricing as far as I can see.

    • Dyl on 11/05/2025 - 19:41

      Can't edit, though found the below on this page: https://apps.apple.com/tr/app/runescape/id1332022656

      1 Month Membership ₺184,99
      1 Month Membership ₺219,00
      1 Month Membership + Trial ₺184,99

      Implies there is possibly grandfathered pricing available if you're still on it, though I'm unsure if that applies to new iOS subscribers or simply those still on iOS subscriptions from prior to price changes.

    Just a word of caution, last time I bought an iTunes gift card from turgame, they didn't release the gift card.

    They asked for proof of Turkish ID. They didn't refund the money and took me over 6 months to get the money back through a bank dispute, (which they disputed).

    It must be a recent policy, but there are many reviews online with similar experience…

      Well, that sucks. Thanks for letting us know.

    • Dyl on 11/05/2025 - 00:13

      They ask for proof of ID sometimes, not Turkish ID.

      They accepted my Australian ID. ID was automatically accepted without issue via the third party verification provider (auto facial detection against ID)

      • 0p on 11/05/2025 - 00:25
        +6

        They asked for my ID (passport), A selfie and Proof of Geographical Location.

        This in itself should be a red flag to anyone considering purchasing…

        There are multiple reviews online stating this including other OzBargainers

          Proof of Geographical Location.

          This is an automatic via browser geolocation, it worked fine on my laptop with no VPN (ie detected via IP). You do not need to be in Turkey. It automatically approved me in Australia.

          This in itself should be a red flag to anyone considering purchasing…

          It's common practice for high risk purchases, especially when there's absolutely no way they can recover product(s) provided (as they're gift cards); it's not like they can simply disable your access if you charge back and/or used a stolen card. Some companies charge higher fees to cover the costs of potential chargebacks / illegitimate purchases, others use third party ID verification for flagged purchases. Typical fees elsewhere are >10% due to this, while Turgame's closely matches (/is identical to) typical payment service fees.

          There are multiple reviews online stating this including other OzBargainers

          The review you linked simply states they've been asked to provide ID. No mention of needing to be in Turkey. As per my experience, being in Australia didn't cause any issues.

          Regarding data privacy:

          https://support.trustswiftly.com/how-to-view-verification-st…
          TrustSwiftly does NOT allow partners to view uploaded images; Turgame can not see your uploaded ID, selfy, or document(s). They do receive any geolocation data your browser provides. I used my laptop so this is only a generic city name. I would avoid using a phone browser which may provide an actual GPS location just to be safe.

          tl;dr:

          I completed the verification successfully.

          • Don't need to be in Turkey; I used my laptop browser with my home connection (Australian IP).
          • It appears likely they receive geolocation data
          • They do NOT receive copies of your ID, selfy, or documents.
          • Trustswifty appears reputable, so it's down to if you trust Turgame with simply your geolocation.
      • PainToad on 11/05/2025 - 06:25
        +2

        Giving your ID to a company like this is nuts.

        Buying Indian iTunes credit from Amazon India is much safer and simpler.

        • Dyl on 11/05/2025 - 17:19

          It's via a third party (TrustSwiftly), according to their website partners can not access any uploaded ID, selfies or document(s); only a yes/no as to if you pass verification of said uploads.

          They CAN view geolocation data gathered by TrustSwiftly. With this in mind I would use a PC to avoid providing GPS geolocation and instead only provide a city name via IP location.

          TrustSwiftly appears reputable, though is quite a small company. Up to personal opinion if you trust them, but it's not Turgame you're trusting.

      • J006 on 28/06/2025 - 17:00

        Im sorry to inform you, you couldn't be further from the truth. There is a single script (Yes, script, not client) for a major client, which equates to 2% of the active player base. This leads me to belive that the percent of the active player base is, in fact, double-digit percentage.
        A single script, for a single client, which is not even considered the largest.

        • Dyl on 29/06/2025 - 14:30

    Does this work with OSRS too?

    • Dyl on 11/05/2025 - 17:25

      Yes, membership is shared across both game modes.

      Unsure if OSRS works for it, but worst case you'll need to download the RS3 app and do it via that, then switch back. OSRS app should support buying membership though.

        I think they mean for buying Turkish Apple gift cards. They are available there

    • Dyl on 11/05/2025 - 17:29

      Turgame is ~2-2.5% fees paying via card. (5000 TRY was 5101.75 TRY or 5175.61, depending on payment method)

      G2A is 17%+ fees (17% calculated on the best value option; 1200 TRY for 1405 TRY after fees, assumes not paying via G2A balance which reduces this to ~15%)

      • KangaDrew on 11/05/2025 - 17:54

        I usually get them when they have their promo discounts active. Also, the process for G2A is dead easy, whereas Turgame has always been a frustrating experience with some debit cards not accepted, some mobile numbers not accepted for 2FA etc. I won't even start on the delays it can take before you receive your keys.

        I'll still use Turgame if it's a great deal cheaper and I don't need the keys immediately, but other than that, it's G2A for me.

        • Dyl on 11/05/2025 - 19:38

          Only issue I've had with Turgame thus far is a ~2hour delivery delay, where as G2A is instant usually

          Feel free to post when they're on sale btw, I'd jump on that

        • Shoppingbird on 13/05/2025 - 10:14

          is it possible to follow a similar process as described above but with google play gift cards instead via G2A?

          • KangaDrew on 13/05/2025 - 18:15

            @Shoppingbird: You could try it, but considering there aren't any guides for Google Play (that I'm aware of) I don't it's possible.

      Comes to TRY1.610,61 via PayTR (AUD$64.80) / TRY 1.633,92 via IYZI (AUD$65.74) via Turgame.

      Note I've had an issue where I accidentally refreshed on the PayTR loading screen and had to contact support to provide my payment reference number (which was still emailed successfully) before my order appeared. Issue doesn't apply to IYZY; it goes straight through with no loading screen.

      Note DO NOT use your main iOS account or you'll need to contact apple to remove the remaining TRY before you can switch back regions

        I'm yet to pay for membership in AUD. It was previously MXN, now TRY.

    • Dyl on 11/05/2025 - 17:43

      I miss when MXN bonds were literally cheaper than buying GP from black market sellers. Only a VPN required, no app store or gift cards involved.

      It wasn't quite cheaper than black market buy prices (ie couldn't buy bonds then sell GP for a profit), but it was ~5-10% cheaper than their sell prices, even before considering payment processing fees and potential of being scammed or banned.

      • ichigo15 on 11/05/2025 - 20:19

        For a while you could make 1-2c/m profit on rs3 and about 8-10c on osrs buying bonds using a Turkish google account then selling. Only limit was around 80-100 bonds every few days, but making a new Google account got around that.

        I think the bond prices are still the same, but it's nearly impossible to purchase them if you don't live in Turkey lol

        • Dyl on 11/05/2025 - 20:31

          Yeah I never tried TRY, MXN was the best I came across

    • Dyl on 25/05/2025 - 17:12

      I’ve been asked for ID once out of 4 orders, it’s just a generic anti fraud system (checks IP and stuff, VPNs are completely blocked, etc)

    • superdoedoe on 03/05/2026 - 17:00

  • stoompa on 01/06/2025 - 21:06

      • zo3y on 21/11/2025 - 00:57

        Can confirm this is working ($59.34). Not sure where abouts you're getting the credit/debit part though. I'll try and clear up how I did it.

        1. Made a new [Turkey] Apple ID via https://link.apple.com/account/create/form
        2. Began the sign in on the App Store on an iPad. At this point it was asking for a mobile verification so I put in my number (PS. If you want to remove it you will need a burner number to replace it later)
        3. For my own peace of mind, logged into Runescape and checked the membership price was reflected correctly in TRY and TRY cost (1569 TRY confirmed)
        4. Purchased a 1500, 50 and 25 TRY iTunes card from TurGame (waited ~10 minutes for it to arrive)
        5. Redeemed the codes via the App Store
        6. Logged back into Runescape and "subscribed" for the Premier Membership (1569 TRY).
          Note: If you have not loaded your account with any iTunes credits it will prompt for a credit/debit card. (I don't recall why I hadn't gone the CC route but it was probably along the lines of it not working for me)
        7. Before completing it will ask for an address and mobile number. I just put my same mobile number with the +61 calling code and an address. (I don't think this form is checking if any of this is real but if it is ;) )
        8. Done - Cancelled the autorenewal from within the iPad settings within the App Store section.

        Hope this helped ~

      • Ozzy101 on 08/03/2026 - 18:38

        • Dyl on 09/03/2026 - 08:30

          They use BIN checking, wise virtual cards are still Australian BIN and won't be accepted. Doesn't matter which currency you choose to back the card. Getting a Turkish BIN card is near impossible without being a resident.

          You can use them to avoid higher fees for turgame purchases though, unless you already have a fee free card (ie Bankwest).

  • FunScape on 10/03/2026 - 20:52

    I was planning on doing this earlier only to find out the price has been raised to TRY₺2599.00 (~A$82.90) considering the recent price change announcement. RRP is around AUD 189.00 now (based on the Marketplace Store page on the RuneScape iOS app). I still might consider it.

            @bg1012: It was the cheapest at the time, unsure on any prices post changes. My scraper is still picking up old pricing as it’s still the “top” in app purchases - the new ones aren’t on the top list yet.

            No way I know of to scrape all available purchasable products from the App Store - only the top 10 that appear on the website. (Likely is possible but would require reverse engineering the purchasing API, likely also requiring auth).

      • Dyl on 22/03/2026 - 00:25

        Still shows turkey as cheapest on my scraper as it picks up the legacy pricing still (iOS displays these plans on the App Store top in app purchases list still).

        There’s no official API or way (I’m aware of) to scrape up to date data from the App Store beyond the top 10 in app purchases listed on the web page, so it’s difficult to work out where is cheapest currently.

    I was subscribed at the old price and due for renewal next month. Got an email today about the price being increased to TRY₺2599.00 and no grandfathering of the old price even though I was already subbed. Absolute dogs Jagex are, these price increases are insane. F private equity.

      I haven't got the email yet, still shows the old price on my Apple Store

      Edit: Just relooked, it's changed now in store for me too. No reward for loyalty I guess… The worst part is I barely even play, so even ~$7/mo is too much imo.

      Report as exported if possible, won't let me expire it or report it expired.
