Pay-first or pay-after — your call

Prepaid Gaming Cafe Billing Software

Some floors run pay-first, some pay-after, most run both. GameBiller supports prepaid time blocks that count down and stop automatically, and postpaid open sessions billed on Done — per station, on one system.

What you get with GameBiller

⏳ Prepaid blocks

Sell 30, 60 or 120 minutes up front; the countdown ends the session exactly on time.

🕰 Postpaid sessions

Open-ended play billed to the minute when the customer finishes.

🔀 Both, per station

Choose the mode per session — walk-ins postpaid, rush-hour prepaid, your rules.

🔐 Prepaid + PC locking

Pair with PC Lock and prepaid balances gate the PC itself — no balance, no login.

💳 Hour packs for regulars

Membership hour bundles are prepaid at better prices and deduct automatically.

🧾 Same GST receipts

Prepaid or postpaid, every session ends in the same numbered, GST-ready invoice.

Why prepaid changes cafe economics

Prepaid removes the two worst counter problems: overruns and walk-outs. The countdown ends sessions without arguments, cash arrives before the play, and with PC Lock the PC itself enforces the balance — while postpaid stays available for trusted regulars.

Common questions

How does prepaid billing work in a gaming cafe?

The customer pays for a time block first — say 60 minutes — and GameBiller runs a countdown on the station that ends the session automatically when the minutes finish. No clock-watching and no overrun disputes.

Can I run prepaid and postpaid at the same time?

Yes. The mode is chosen per session, so seat 1 can be a prepaid hour while seat 2 runs an open postpaid session, and both end in the same invoice flow.

What if a prepaid customer wants to extend?

Top up the session with more minutes and the countdown extends; with PC Lock, gamers can even request a recharge from their seat for staff approval.

Does prepaid work with PC locking?

Perfectly — that is the PC Lock model: the PC unlocks only for a gamer with balance, deducts in real time and locks again at zero. Prepaid becomes self-enforcing.
