Valve could extend a limited credit for the first two hours of play time. If after downloading and playing for two hours there's still no confirmation from the bank, they'd then block your access to the game.

    That's actually a pretty realistic option given the 2 hour refund window.

    Maybe allow it only after 1 successful deposit, and revoke it after 1 failure for a long period and X successful payments.

    Also maybe only 1 game is playable if you happen to buy more than 1 in that time
