 Initially, players had to use one ''Entry Card'' (エントリーカード) for each game and register it to a KONAMI ID. Its replacement, the ''e-amusement pass'' was introduced in November of 2005. Unlike the Entry Cards, one e-amusement pass can be used for more than one game. On November 17th, 2010, support for mobile and BitCash was added.
-The Asian e-amusement service undergoes maintenance every weekday morning from 5:00 to 7:00 JST. An extended maintenance period affecting all regions occurs every third Tuesday of the month from 2:00 to 7:00 JST.

+As of 2012, most arcade KONAMI games run under e-amusement participation service, which requires an active e-amusement network to be connected to the machine in order to boot up. Once the e-amusement support ends for a particular game, the game is no longer playable in any form unless an offline kit is available, allowing the game to boot up without the need of a network.
