International in-app purchases have been halted in Pakistan, including those sold through video games.
According to the State Bank of Pakistan (via Bloomberg), telecom service providers in the country were violating regulations by letting customers make purchases in entertainment apps, including video games, via direct carrier billing.
SBP's current guidelines specify certain IT services can be paid for via a telecommunications company, and firms that wish to do this need the one-time approval of a bank that payments can be processed through. Customers can then pay for services via their phone bill.
