So I managed to side load the HBO max app on my Chromecast and using a VPN I can get it to stream but now how do I pay ?

All my options on Google pay are marked as "not valid for region" but I was able to skip payment and start streaming... I'm assuming its one month free ?

Has anyone else managed to get this right ? I haven't tried using an FNB virtual card yet and I'm also keen to see if there is a way to load money on my google wallet.

Yes I know I can pirate GOT but keen to just do this correctly.

I got it working in quite a convoluted way.
I first had to create a new google account which I set to US region. With this account I signed up for HBOMAX. Then I linked it to my US Paypal account. My US Paypal account I linked to my SA credit card. That did the trick. Your google and paypal accounts must have US addresses.

My US paypal account want a US number to verify.
 
I just used some random generated US number. There are options not to have them call or text you.
