Is credit card needed for updating/downloading free games?

I finally somehow made a apple ID on games center, then I tried to download a free game. But when I click instal it said that this apple ID is first time using in iTunes (or something like that) and that I need to review my account. When I click review It asked me for a lot informations but one of them were credit card number. And I don't own a credit card, so now I can't update/download apps/games?

Here is the group of options if you access the account through iTunes on a computer.  "None" appears to be a valid option:

  • Why iPhone 5 keeps asking to input credit card security code when downloading free applications?

    Why iPhone 5 keeps asking to input credit card security code when downloading free applications?

    To download apps, even free apps, you usually need the payment information associated with your Apple ID. You most likely have your credit card name, billing address, card number and expiration date already on file or you would be asked for these too. Apparently though your security code is not on file with your Apple ID. To avoid being asked each time to download an app go to your Apple ID and edit your payment information to include the security code.

    Why do I have to submit my credit card information just to download free apps?

    You don't, if you follow the instructions on this page when creating an account (the instructions won't work with existing accounts) then you don't have to give credit card details, you will get a 'none' option on the payments screen : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    You have an Apple ID already, so unfortunately the instructions in this link will not work for you as it states that these instructions are for those users who have not yet created an Apple ID as you may easily read.
    If you have not created an Apple ID yet, this article will assist you in doing so on your computer in iTunes or on an iOS device.
    If you wish to create another Apple ID for use with free content, my experience with experimenting with the instructions in this Knowledge Base article have always resulted in a None option in literally dozens of different country's iTunes/Mac App stores
    Those users with an existing Apple ID are redirected by this article to a different Apple Knowledge Base article which unfortunately will likely not assist you in your goal of downloading Apple content without supplying a bank card or an alternative payment method, such as an iTunes/Mac App Store gift card.
    If you have registered your product or used any Apple services, you should follow this article to use an existing Apple ID with the iTunes Store or Mac App Store.
    That paragraph, by way of the hyperlink, then directs users with an existing Apple ID to this article;
    Using an existing Apple ID with the iTunes Store and Mac App Store
    Following the instructions in this linked article will likely not offer you the None option.

  • Why do I have to put my credit card on file to download free apps?

    I'm trying to download "iheart radio" to my ipod touch, but I can't because I've never set my account up with a credit card... It just takes me to the register screen with the TOS and the billing information...

    Hi, Dasfonzie:

  • Why do i need to enter the credit card information for downloading free apps and redeem the codes?

    getting a message says apple id has not yet been used with the itunes store while trying to download apps
    why do i need to enter the credit card information for downloading free apps and redeem the codes?

    As a security precaution, Apple verifies your billing credentials with every transaction whether paid or free apps or using the balance of a redeemed code.

  • When i try to download a "free" app for my ipod touch, it wants credit card billing info? a "free"" app is just that isn't it? How do I resolve this guys/gals? any advice?

    when i try to download a "free" app for my ipod touch, it wants credit card billing info? a "free"" app is just that isn't it? How do I resolve this guys/gals? any advice?  P.S. I don't use credit cards.

    You normally need to provide some sort of payment method (in part as proof of residence in the country) before you can get even the free apps. It is possible to set up a new iTunes Store account just for free apps, but you have to create a new Apple ID; you cannot use an existing one. If you want to do that, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note again that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free content without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

  • Why do I have to update my credit card info for a free app???

    I put a block on my credit card due to fraudulent activity and now I want to install a FREE app, why do I need to update my credit card info for a FREE app? If you will only charge me if I actually purchase an app or content what is the purpose for asking me?

    For identification purposes.

  • I use to download free  games but now it is asking for my credit card information why?

    I use to download free games but now it is asking for my credit card information why?

    You are required to provide credit card details to download apps be it free or paid.
    Nothing will be deducted from your credit card if the app is free.
    There will be a authorizing hold of US$1.00 to verify your account information. It will be credited back to your account later.
