Registration Statement on Form F-4

Filed June 28, 2024

File No. 333-280559

Ladies and Gentlemen:

On behalf of our client, GCL Global Holdings Ltd. (the “Company”), referenced by CIK No. 0002002045, we are writing to submit the Company’s response to the comments of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Division of Corporation Finance of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) set forth in its letter, dated July 15, 2024, relating to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-4 filed via EDGAR on June 28, 2024 (the “Registration Statement”).

The Company is concurrently submitting via EDGAR Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form F-4 (the “Amendment No. 1”), which reflects the Company’s response to the comments received by the Staff and certain updated information.

We have set forth below the comments in the Staff’s letter, in bold, and the Company’s responses thereto.

Registration Statement on Form F-4

Q. What equity stake will holders of RFAC Public Shares, holder of Company Shares and the Sponsor hold in PubCo upon Completion..., page 15

1. We note your revised disclosures in response to prior comment 4. Please revise your description of the "50% Maximum Redemptions" scenario to clarify that this scenario assumes 50% of the 661,753 of RFAC Public Stockholders, who can redeem their shares under the maximum redemption scenario - with no waiver of the minimum cash condition, exercise their redemption rights. Also, explain why the tables beginning on page 44 do not include a scenario that assumes maximum redemptions with Waiver of the Minimum Cash Condition.

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the Registration Statement on pages 17, 18, 19, 20, 44, 46, and 47 of Amendment No. 1 to clarify that the scenario presented assumes 50% of the 660,602 RFAC Public Stockholders, who can redeem their shares under the maximum redemption scenario – with no waiver of the minimum cash condition, exercised their redemption rights. The Company has also revised the Registration Statement on pages 44 and 46 of Amendment No. 1 to reflect in the tables a scenario that assumes maximum redemptions with waiver of the minimum cash condition.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information Introduction, page 106

2. Please revise to describe what will happen if more than 661,753 RFAC public shareholders elect to redeem and GCL does not waive the minimum cash condition, such as the business combination will not be completed. Similar revisions should be made wherever you discuss the maximum redemption scenario assuming waiver of the minimum cash condition. Also, clarify which party would be responsible to fund any overdrafts incurred under this scenario should GCL elect to waive the minimum cash condition.

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the Registration Statement on pages 17, 19, 20, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 60, 109, 115, and 207 of Amendment No. 1 to describe what will happen if more than 660,602 public shareholders elect to redeem and GCL does not waive the minimum cash condition.

In the event more than 660,602 public shareholders elect to redeem and GCL waives the minimum cash condition, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement (i) the Sponsor will be responsible for all expenses incurred by RF Acquisition Corp., and (ii) PubCo will only be responsible for expenses incurred by GCL up to $4,500,000.

Note 3. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information, page 116

3. When you update to include March 31, 2024 pro forma information in your next amendment, please ensure that pro forma adjustments agree to disclosures elsewhere in the filing, including the financial statement footnotes. Also, ensure that the descriptions for each pro forma adjustment appropriately describes the adjustment. For example:

· You state on December 27, 2023, RFAC deposited into the Trust Account $225,000 and extended the deadline to complete the business combination from December 28, 2023 to March 28, 2024. Page 17 of RFAC's March 31, 2024 Form 10-Q indicates that the Sponsor deposited such funds into the Trust Account. In addition, it is unclear how this transaction is reflected in the Due to Sponsor line item of your pro forma balance sheet.

· You state on page F-50 that on each of March 25, April 25, and May 24, 2024, $75,000 was deposited into the Trust Account by GCL to extend the date to consummate the business combination to June 28, 2024. Page 9 of RFAC's March 31, 2024 Form 10-Q indicates that in March 2024, the company deposited $75,000 into the Trust Account to extend the deadline for an additional three months. Page 22 of the Form 10-Q refers to GCL depositing such amounts for "purposes of extending the filing date of the Company's Form 10-Q documents." In addition, it is unclear how these payments are reflected in the pro forma balance sheet.

· You state that Melvin Xeng Thou Ong agreed to loan the Sponsor up to $2.0 million to be used for extension payments in connection with the business combination and working capital requirements. Revise the disclosures in Note 5 to RFAC's financial statements to clarify what portion of the drawdown on this line of credit relates to extension payments and what portion relates to working capital requirements. Also, ensure such information supports information in pro forma adjustment (B).

· In your response provide us with a breakdown of all extension payments to date and tell us which party, (i.e., the Sponsor, Mr. Thou Ong or GCL) funded each payment.

These are just a few examples of apparent inconsistencies within this filing and RFAC's periodic filings and whether such disclosures support the information and amounts reflected in the pro forma financial statements. We will reconsider your updated pro forma financial statements and related disclosures, once provided, and may have additional comments.

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the Registration as follows:

· The Registration Statement has been revised on the cover page and pages 53, 80, 86, 135, 153, 156, 184, F-33, F-36, and F-45 of Amendment No. 1 to clarify that RFAC deposited into the Trust Account $225,000, which amount was provided by the Sponsor, to extend the deadline to complete the business combination from December 28, 2023 to March 28, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information uses RFAC’s and GCL’s December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024 financial statements, respectively. As this extension deposit was completely settled as of December 31, 2023, this amount and transaction is not reflected in the Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.

· The Registration Statement has been revised on the cover page and pages 53, 80, 86, 136, 153, 156, 184, F-33, F-34, F-36, F-45, and F-49 of Amendment No. 1 to clarify that RFAC deposited into the Trust Account $75,000, which amount was provided by GCL Global Holdings Ltd., to extend the deadline to complete the business combination. The Transaction Accounting Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet includes the extension payments provided by GCL which covers each of March 2024, April 2024, May 2024, June 2024, and July 2024 for $75,000 each, for a total of $375,000 These payments are reflected in the pro forma balance sheet under tick mark C.

· The Registration Statement has been revised on pages 186, 210, and F-44 of Amendment No. 1 to disclose that the $2 million loan from Melvin Xeng Thou Ong to the Sponsor has to date been allocated for extension payments and working capital requirements of RFAC, of which $1,125,000 was allocated to extension payments with the remainder dedicated to working capital requirements.

· Please see below a breakdown of all extension payments to date and the party which funded each payment.

4. We note your revised projections for FY2026 revenue are substantially higher than your previous projections. Please revise to provide a more complete discussion regarding the assumptions underlying your revised projections, as well as what factors contributed to such a substantial upward revision. As part of your disclosure, provide additional details regarding the "sequel of a top-tier video game franchise" that you anticipate will be released in 2025 and quantify the projected impact it will have on distribution revenue and why you believe such assumptions are reasonable.

Response:

The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the Registration Statement to include the requested information. Please see pages 141-142 of Amendment No. 1.

5. Based on your disclosures on page F-50, it appears that three additional extension deposits of $75,000 each were made on March 25, April 25 and May 25, 2024, respectively, to extend the business combination deadline to June 28, 2024. However, this information has not been reflected here or elsewhere in the filing. Please revise throughout to discuss all the extension payments made to-date and clarify the source of those payments (i.e., Sponsor or Director).

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the Registration Statement on the cover page and pages 53, 80, 86, 136, 153, 156, 184, F-33, F-34, F-36, F-45, and F-49 of Amendment No. 1 to reflect the additional extension deposits of $75,000 from March 2024 to July 2024.

Audited Financial Statements of GCL Global Limited Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies Indefinite-lived intangible assets, page F-63

6. We note your response to prior comment 15, however, it remains unclear how you determined that console game codes will contribute to your cash flows indefinitely. In this regard, you state that the primary purpose of console game codes is resale and upon such sale, the individual game code is transferred to cost of goods sold. You state that the remaining balance of the activation codes will generate cash flows until the last cost is sold, however, it is unclear why you believe there is no foreseeable limit on the period of time over which the games codes will contribute to cash flows. In addition, your disclosures on page F-63 do not appear to support the information provided in your response as it relates to the accounting for such assets. Please explain further and tell us your consideration to classify console game codes as finite-lived intangibles using a method of amortization that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed. Refer to ASC 350-30-35-1 to 35-4 and 350-30-35-6

The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and provides the following additional information for the nature and characteristics of the console game codes:

The console game codes is a form of access codes which enable the user (or player) to unlock a specific game via some online gaming platform. Once the code is associated with the user’s account, the user can access the game through the platform’s interface.

The Company, through its subsidiaries in Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong, operates its business in four segments, 1) distribution of console games, 2) game publishing, 3) media advertising service, and 4) others.

The Company’s primary purpose of purchasing the console game codes is for resale. These console game codes are acquired in batches, with the purchase price determined by the unit cost multiplied by the quantities purchased. The cost of each game code is transferred to cost of goods sold upon the sale of each individual code. Each console game code does not have a limited useful life and is available for sale indefinitely. In addition, the console game code purchase agreements do not have any limitation on the period of time over which those purchased game code must be sold or will otherwise expire.

The Company follows guidance in ASC 350-30-35-4. Under ASC 350-30-35-4, the useful life of an asset is considered to be “indefinite” if no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factors limit the asset’s useful life. The Company understands what distinguishes between asset lives that are indeterminant and those that are indefinite under accounting gu

                                            deposited such funds into the Trust Account. In addition, it is unclear how this transaction
                                            is reflected in the Due to Sponsor line item of your pro forma balance sheet.

    We note your response
    to prior comment 15, however, it remains unclear how you determined that console game codes will contribute to your cash flows indefinitely.
    In this regard, you state that the primary purpose of console game codes is resale and upon such sale, the individual game code is
    transferred to cost of goods sold. You state that the remaining balance of the activation codes will generate cash flows until the
    last cost is sold, however, it is unclear why you believe there is no foreseeable limit on the period of time over which the games
    codes will contribute to cash flows. In addition, your disclosures on page F-63 do not appear to support the information provided
    in your response as it relates to the accounting for such assets. Please explain further and tell us your consideration to classify
    console game codes as finite-lived intangibles using a method of amortization that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits
    of the intangible assets are consumed. Refer to ASC 350-30-35-1 to 35-4 and 350-30-35-6

The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment
and provides the following additional information for the nature and characteristics of the console game codes:

The console game codes is a form of access codes
which enable the user (or player) to unlock a specific game via some online gaming platform. Once the code is associated with the user’s
account, the user can access the game through the platform’s interface.

The Company, through its subsidiaries in Singapore,
Malaysia, and Hong Kong, operates its business in four segments, 1) distribution of console games, 2) game publishing, 3) media advertising
service, and 4) others.

The Company’s primary purpose of purchasing
the console game codes is for resale. These console game codes are acquired in batches, with the purchase price determined by the unit
cost multiplied by the quantities purchased. The cost of each game code is transferred to cost of goods sold upon the sale of each individual
code. Each console game code does not have a limited useful life and is available for sale indefinitely. In addition, the console game
code purchase agreements do not have any limitation on the period of time over which those purchased game code must be sold or will otherwise
expire.

The Company follows guidance in ASC 350-30-35-4.
Under ASC 350-30-35-4, the useful life of an asset is considered to be “indefinite” if no legal, regulatory, contractual,
competitive, economic, or other factors limit the asset’s useful life. The Company understands what distinguishes between asset
lives that are indeterminant and those that are indefinite under accounting gu
