Hello, I purchased 10 game points in EUR via PayPal and only 9.99 were added to my account, thus I could only use 9 game points and 0.99 were left which are unusable. Can you correct this little mistake and make 1 game point out of it please?
 
Thank you!

Thank you for your help, I can confirm that. I think the error is the following:
 
When paying in USD you pay 1 USD per point.
When paying in EUR you pay 0.74 EUR per point.
 
As only two decimals seems to be insufficiently exact there was a rounding error thus resulting in 0.99 instead of 1 points. When I purchase points with USD everything is fine. The problem with that are PayPals insane exchange rates. They use 1.31 USD per EUR, but actually correct is 1.35 USD per EUR. So, I would prefer to pay in EUR.
 
Maybe you want to look into this and eventually hack the code a bit so .99 fractions are rounded to 1 automatically.
