The game you want to download is free and doesn't cost anything. But to download the app, you need to have a valid payment tied to your Apple Account, because it, like most free apps offer "In-App Purchases." It doesn't mean you ever need to make a purchase in-app, but it does require you to have a payment method. Without one, you can't download any app, which has in-app purchases.


Here is a link you can use to see what payment methods you can use with your Apple Account --> Payment methods that you can use with your Apple ID - Apple Support

Yes... OUCH! My mistake, i didnt complete the setup when i booted the cellphone in, the Itunes pop up request to set up, i disregarded it, and with that i was looped without completing the ID process to download apps from the app store, 100 % MY MISTAKE, NOOBIE AT APPLE STUFF ERROR, SORRY FOR THE BOTHER, i dont know how else to state it. thanks for the quick responses, i'm trying to find if i can take out the question i added, but i guess it stays for other newbies to see it, and perhaps save them the trouble.
