Playin: a success story born from two passionate people

Founded in 2008 by Loïs and Stéphane, Playin was first built around a simple observation:

players needed a place to find their maps, games, and advice from experts who speak the same language as them.

What started out as a small project for enthusiasts has now become:

• One of the largest French catalogs dedicated to trading cards (Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh! , Flesh and Blood...)
• A reference space for modern board games
• A recognized e-commerce site
• A community store where players meet, chat, play, and share

With a team entirely composed of passionate people, Playin has become a real pillar of fun culture in France.

Why offer crypto payments in the card world?

While cryptocurrencies are gradually establishing themselves in daily uses, the world of gaming, TCG and collectibles is adopting this innovation with obvious fluidity.

Here's why:

1. A tech-savvy and forward-thinking community

Card enthusiasts, whether players or collectors, are among the first communities to adopt new technologies: marketplaces, wallets, exchange platforms...

Crypto-payment is a natural part of this dynamic.

2. A fast and universal payment method

Whether you are in France or on the other side of the world, paying in crypto facilitates international purchases, especially for rare or sought-after cards.

3. Optimized purchasing power

Crypto users often have a reserve dedicated to fun, leisure, or collecting purchases.
To be able to use it directly, without prior conversion, enhances the experience.

4. A use aligned with card marketplaces

Many collectors are already trading their cards, tokens, or digital assets online.
Crypto seems to be a logical extension of this ecosystem.
