Amendment No. 4 to Registration Statement on Form F-4
General
1.
We note your revised disclosures in response to prior comment 1. We also note your response where you state that the Sponsor incentive shares were not impacted by the Convertible Note financing as such incentive shares are separate from, and not contingent on, the Convertible Notes financing. In your definitions of frequently used terms, you define Transaction Financing, which you then refer to in your definition of Incentive Shares. Your discussion of the Transaction Financing on page 41 appears to include the Convertible Notes financing. Please tell us, and revise to clarify, whether the Convertible Notes qualify as a Transaction Financing, as defined. If so, tell us, and revise your disclosures as necessary, to clarify why the Sponsors chose not to use the Incentive Shares in conjunction with such Transaction Financing. In addition, to the extent true, revise your disclosures (including on the cover page), to clarify that you expect the Sponsor will retain the 2.0 million Incentive Shares, which are not subject to lock-up agreements and may be considered additional compensation.
Response: The Company acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 5 (i) on page 11 to clarify that the Convertible Notes qualify as Transaction
Financing, and (ii) on the cover page and pages 8, 35, 41, 105, 120, 121, 132, 135, and 158 to clarify that the Sponsor is expected to
retain the 2.0 million Incentive Shares, which are not subject to lock-up agreements, and may be considered additional compensation. The
Incentive Shares are reserved by PubCo and are to be issued at the closing of the Business Combination as allocated and determined by
the Sponsor, in its sole discretion. The Incentive Shares are intended as an incentive in connection with non-redemption or similar agreements
or Transaction Financing. However, the Incentive Shares are not required to be used or disposed for such means, and may be retained at
the closing of the Business Combination by the Sponsor, in which case it may be considered additional consideration to the Sponsor. Furthermore,
the Incentive Shares were not used in conjunction with the Convertible Notes financing because issuance of the Incentive Shares was not
part of the terms agreed by and between GCL and the respective convertible note investors.
If you have any questions, please feel free to
contact me at (713) 651-2678. Thank you for your cooperation and prompt attention to this matter.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of GCL Global Holdings
Ltd. (the “Company”), referenced by CIK No. 0002002045, we are writing to submit the Company’s responses
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 November 26, 2024, relating to the Company’s
Registration Statement on Form F-4 filed via EDGAR on November 12, 2024 (the “Registration Statement”).
The Company is concurrently
submitting via EDGAR Amendment No. 4 to the Registration Statement on Form F-4 (the “Amendment No. 4”),
which reflects the Company’s responses 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.
Amendment No. 3 to Registration Statement on Form F-4
Questions and Answers for Stockholders of RFAC
Q: What equity stake will holders of RFAC Public Shares, holders
of Company Shares and the Sponsor hold in PubCo upon completion..., page 15
1.
We note that you entered into a Note Purchase Agreement for $20,025,000 of Convertible Notes, which will be convertible into PubCo's fully paid and nonassessable shares that will be exchanged for Merger Consideration Shares at Closing. We further note your cover page disclosures where you state "[i]t is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination, not including PubCo Ordinary Shares that may be issued in connection with the Transaction Financing, (i) 127,799,369 PubCo Ordinary Shares" will be issued. Please tell us how you have reflected the additional shares that will be issued to the Transaction Investors in the share ownership information for PubCo in the tables on page 17 and elsewhere throughout the filing. In addition, tell us whether the 2.0 million shares, which you currently classify as Sponsor incentive shares, were impacted by the Transaction Financing. If not, explain why and revise your disclosures accordingly.
Response: The Company acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and has revised the cover page and pages 17, 18, 35, 44, 45, 47, 105, 132, 158 of Amendment No. 4 to
clarify that (i) the shares issuable pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement for the $20,025,000 of Convertible Notes are already
included in the 120,000,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares (i.e., Merger Consideration Shares) to be issued to the Company Shareholders at
the closing of the business combination, and (ii) the 2.0 million shares, which are currently classified as Sponsor incentive
shares, were not impacted by the Convertible Notes financing as these incentive shares are separate from, and not contingent on,
this Convertible Notes financing.

We note the maximum redemptions assuming no waiver of the Minimum Cash Condition scenario assumes that 1,279,193 RFAC Public Shares will be redeemed at an assumed price of $11.15 per share and still allow RFAC to meet the Minimum Cash Condition of $25.0 million available to PubCo at closing from Trust Account and Transaction Financing. Please provide us with your calculations that support these assumptions.
Response: The Company acknowledges the
Staff’s comment and has attached Annex A hereto in response to the comment.

Registration Statement on Form F-4
Filed September 23, 2024
File No. 333-280559
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of GCL Global Holdings
Ltd. (the “Company”), referenced by CIK No. 0002002045, we are writing to submit the Company’s responses
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 October 16, 2024, relating to the Company’s
Registration Statement on Form F-4 filed via EDGAR on September 23, 2024 (the “Registration Statement”).

6. You state in your response to prior comment
8, less popular games may be held by the company between 6 months to more than a year. Please provide us with a breakdown of game codes
that are greater than one year by those that are two years, three years, four years, and five years and beyond. In addition, to the
extent aging trends have fluctuated between fiscal 2023 and 2024 and to date in fiscal 2025, explain the reason for such changes.
Response:
We have supplementally provided to the Staff the aging report showing the breakdown of game codes that are less than one year, between
one year and two years, and greater than two years. The Company started selling game codes in first calendar quarter of 2022 and therefore,
the aging of our game codes does not extend beyond 3 years. GCL actively manages its game codes to avoid aging beyond two years.
As the aging report indicates, the percentages
of game codes that are aged less than a year for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2024, and for the six months ended September 30,
2024, were 91.7%, 84.0% and 92.3%, respectively. More than 80% of our game codes are aged within a year historically.
Game codes that are aged more than one year represented
8.3%. 16.0% and 7.7% of the total value of the game codes for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2024, and for the six months ended
September 30, 2024, respectively. Based on the forecasted demand, management decided to order more game codes at a discount for games
such as Company of Hero, and Total Warhammer I during certain promotional periods. When actual demand for these games fell
short of the forecasted demand during the first year, these game codes took more than a year to sell, resulting in a higher percentage
of game codes aged more than one year for the year ended March 31, 2024. The percentage of game codes aged more than one year decreased from 16.0% as of March 31, 2024, to 7.7% as of September 30, 2024. This
decrease was driven by the company's concerted efforts in the second year to sell the aged game codes that had accumulated during the
first year. As long as the game is available and can be used by consumers, the game codes maintain their indefinite life status which
the Company can sell beyond its carrying value and generate the cash flow indefinitely.
Game codes aged more than two years represented
less than 1% of the total value of the game codes for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2024, and for the six months ended September 30,
2024.
Based on the foregoing, there is no material fluctuation
in the aging trend through the first six months of fiscal 2025, except for fiscal 2024. The Company does not foresee significant fluctuations
in the aging trend for the remainder of fiscal 2025.
7. You state in your response to prior comment 9 that historically,
the majority of sales occur shortly after the acquisition of game codes, while a portion of game codes continue to sell over an extended
period of time. Clarify what is meant by "shortly after" and "an extended period of time" in your response. Also,
considering the "majority" of codes are sold within a short time of acquisition, explain further how this factored into your
determination that all game codes have an indefinite life.
Response:
Majority of the game codes are acquired and sold within one year (as shown in the aging report) and that is what is meant by "shortly
after." Some less popular games may take more than a year to sell and that is what is meant by “an extended period of time.”
The majority of codes are sold within this initial
period. This reflects the strong market demand for the game at launch and during promotional periods. However, this does not determine
the life span of the game code. The life span of the game code is instead tied to whether the game remains valid and accessible in the
market, regardless of the initial sales activity. As long as the game is available and can be used by consumers, the game codes maintain
their indefinite life status.
8. Please address the following as it
relates to your response to prior comments 10 and 11 and related disclosures:
·
You state on page 200 that indefinite-lived
intangibles are evaluated for impairment at least annually and then additionally on an interim basis if a triggering event (i.e., the
carrying value of the intangible asset is less than its fair value) occurs. You also state in response to comment 9 that you monitor
factors such as new releases of new game version, changing customer preferences, and increased competition and if such factors are identified
you assess whether impairment should be recognized. Tell us how often you prepare an analysis to determine whether a triggering event
has occurred and how you determine whether impairment should be recognized.
Response: We perform periodic impairment analysis
on annual basis and on an interim basis (at least every 6 months) to assess whether the carrying value of an individual indefinite-lived
intangible asset exceeds its fair value, and if so, to impair such individual indefinite-lived intangible asset by the amount of the excess.
The Company determines whether impairment should
be recognised by reviewing external factors such as:
· Current
market prices for game codes: This includes the prices at which the same or similar game codes are being sold in the market at the time,
including price fluctuations due to seasonal promotions, platform discounts and the like.
· Demand
trends: The Company considers changes in consumer preferences, such as declining interest in certain games due to the release of newer
versions or competing titles, which may negatively impact the resale value of the game codes. The Company had impaired the carrying value
of the game codes for Naraka in fiscal 2024, due to a change in demand trends as a result of a rare and unforeseen event. The game
developer changed the pricing model of Naraka from “paid to play” to “free to play” causing the demand
for our game codes for this game to drop. The Company assessed this unprecedented event and made a full impairment provision on this game
code during fiscal 2024.
· Competition:
The entry of new competitors or aggressive pricing strategies by other resellers can impact market prices, reducing the market value of
the codes.
If the market value (or fair value) of the game
codes falls below their carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the carrying amount to its market value.
The Company also takes into account the long-term
viability of the game codes, considering factors such as, platform support and the lifespan of the gaming ecosystem in which they operate.
This comprehensive review helps safeguard against overstatement of asset values and provides a clear financial picture of potential losses.
·
Clarify whether you perform your analysis on
all game codes. To the extent your impairment analysis covers only a subset of game codes, explain how you determine which game codes
to evaluate.
Response:
The Company performs scheduled impairment analyses annually and on an interim basis (at least every 6 months) on all game codes without
exceptions.
·
Explain further how aging of game codes factors
into your annual impairment analysis as well as in determining whether a triggering event has occurred.
Response:
Aging of game codes is considered in both the Company’s annual and interim impairment analysis, and in determining whether
a triggering event has occurred. However, aging is only one of a number of factors the Company considered in its impairment analysis.
As part of its impairment analysis, the Company considers factors such
as changes in market demand, competitive pressures, and platform promotions and the impact on the market selling price. While the Company
monitors the aging of game codes, aging of game codes by itself has never been a major factor in triggering impairment, as most codes
have been sold within a year historically.
·
Tell us how often you have written-down games
codes to their current market value.
Response: Impairment assessments
were carried out annually and at interim periods. For fiscal 2023, fiscal 2024 and to date during fiscal 2025, game codes were written
down to current market value in fiscal 2024 through recording of an impairment charge of $0.5 million.
·
Tell us whether you have performed any impairment analysis to date in fiscal 2025, and if so, describe the results of such analysis.
Response: The Company has performed
an impairment analysis to date in fiscal 2025. During the first six months of fiscal 2025 ended September 30, 2024, the results
of such analysis show that except for an immaterial amount, the current market value of the game codes were in excess of the carrying
value, and taking into account the various trigger event factors as described, the Company has determined that there is no impairment
charge required.
· Provide us with a breakdown by game of the impairments recorded in fiscal 2024 and to date in 2025, if any. Include
the specific date and amount of the impairment charge and the name of the game.
Response: The Company did not record
any impairment charge to date for fiscal 2025. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $500,684 for the game Naraka as a result
of an impairment analysis performed for fiscal 2024.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of 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 September 5, 2024, relating to the Company’s
Registration Statement on Form F-4 filed via EDGAR on August 12, 2024 (the “Registration Statement”).
The Company is concurrently
submitting via EDGAR Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on Form F-4 (the “Amendment No. 2”),
which reflects the Company’s response to the comments received by the Staff and certain updated information.
We have set forth below the

In this regard, the income statement information appears to reflect historical and not pro forma results for each entity while the balance sheet data includes pro forma information. Also, these columns do not include “combined” information. Please revise accordingly.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the Registration Statement on pages 64 and 65 of Amendment No. 2 to

We note your response to prior comment 2. Please further revise to disclose the fact that in the event more than 660,602 public shareholders elect to redeem and GCL waives the minimum cash condition, the Sponsor will be responsible for all expenses incurred by RF Acquisition Corp. and PubCo will be responsible for expenses incurred by GCL up to $4,500,000. Similar revisions should be made wherever you discuss the maximum redemption scenario assuming waiver of the minimum cash condition.

Provision for income tax, page 195
3.
We note your effective tax rate decreased significantly from fiscal 2023 to 2024, which you mainly attribute to an increase in deferred tax benefits resulting from the recognition of additional deferred tax assets from net operating loss in your Singapore subsidiaries during fiscal 2024. Please tell us how the rate reconciliation on page F-87 supports this disclosure or revise as necessary. In this regard, it appears your tax provision was impacted more by the tax rate difference for entities outside of Singapore as well as gains or loss from foreign exchange transactions. Also, revise to clarify whether you anticipate the recent decrease in your tax provision to be indicative of a trend in your future effective tax rates.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and revised Registration Statement on page 204 as following:
Our provision for income tax decreased by
approximately $0.6 million, or 91.4 %, to approximately $53,000 income tax provision for the year ended March 31, 2024 from
approximately $0.6 million for the same period in 2023. This decrease was primarily due to an increase of approximately $0.4 million
in deferred tax benefits resulting from the recognition of additional deferred tax asset from net operating loss (“NOL”)
of our Singapore subsidiaries for the year ended March 31, 2024, as we expected to utilize the NOL against our taxable income in the
future and approximately $0.1 million decrease in current income tax as we had less taxable income for the year ended March 31,
2024. In addition, the decrease of our provision for income tax were attribute to (1) 14.0% decrease of effective tax rate from tax
rate difference outside Singapore which was mainly due to NOL from GCL BVI and GCL Global with total amount of approximately $1.5
million. Since GCL BVI and GCL Global were established in British Virgin Island and Cayman Island, respectively, they are not
subject to income tax due to local laws, and (2) 4.2% decrease of effective tax rate from loss from foreign exchange transaction
which is non-deductible and is primarily from our Hong Kong subsidiaries. Since we expect GCL BVI and GCL Global to continue
incurring significant transaction costs related to the Business Combination with RFAC, we anticipate that the recent decrease in our
provision for income tax to be indicative of a trend in our future effective tax rates.

We note from your response to prior comment 2, GCL provided five of the extension payments made during fiscal 2024, which based on your pro forma financial statements appear to be included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in RF Acquisition’s balance sheet. Please revise your disclosures here to clarify that these payments are not included in the related party promissory notes payable.
Response: The Company acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and has revised the Registration Statement on page [F-49] of Amendment No. 2 in response to the comment.

We note from your revised disclosures on page F-45 that the Sponsor provided the $225,000 extension payment made on December 27, 2023. Please tell us, and revise to clarify, whether such payment was funded by the company’s director, Melvin Xeng Thou Ong, and is included in the $1,346,573 balance of outstanding Director Promissory Notes at March 31, 2024. In your response, provide us with a breakdown of the Director Promissory Note balance as of the most recent balance sheet date. Also, tell us why you refer to certain extension payments as being made by your Sponsor when it appears such amounts were funded by and are due to RF Acquisition’s director.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s
comment and has revised the Registration Statement on pages [·]
of Amendment No. 2 to clarify that the $225,000 extension payment made on December 27, 2023 was funded by Melvin Xeng Thou Ong
and is included in the $1,346,573 outstanding balance as of March 31, 2024 of the Director Promissory Note. For additional reference,
please see below a breakdown of the Director Promissory Note as of June 30, 2024. Additionally, we refer to certain extension payments
as being made by the Sponsor, despite the amount being funded by a director of RF Acquistion Corp, because certain extension payment amounts
are loaned by the director to the Sponsor, who subsequently provides the funds to RFAC for purposes of paying the extension payment.

the various type of costs included in cost of revenue for each of your revenue streams. In addition, to the extent any specific cost contributed
materially to the change in cost of revenue during fiscal 2024, revise your disclosures on page 193 to include a discussion of such

Goodwill, page F-62
7. You state that management has determined,
the company has one reporting unit within the entity at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Considering the
acquisitions of Starry Jewelry and Martiangear during fiscal 2024, explain further how you determined there is only one reporting unit
for which goodwill is monitored or revise. In addition, please revise to include the information required by ASC 350-20-50-1 and 280-10-60-1,
in total and for each reportable segment.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised
the Registration Statement on pages F-65 of Amendment No. 2 in response to the comment, and clarify that there are two reporting units
for which goodwill is monitored by the Company.

8. We
note your response to prior comment 6. Please address the following information as it relates to your game codes:
· Tell us how you track the age of game codes. For example, clarify whether each game code is tracked
separately or whether all game codes acquired in the same batch are tracked together.
· On average, tell us how long game codes are held by the company before they are sold.
· Provide us with data regarding the age of your game codes at the end of each period presented.
· Tell us whether management has a policy to write-off game codes after a certain period of time. If
so, provide us with the details of such policy.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and provide additional explanation and clarification as following:
· Tell us how you track the age of game codes. For example, clarify whether each game code is tracked
separately or whether all game codes acquired in the same batch are tracked together.
The Company tracks the age of game codes by batches. However, only
game codes that were purchased on the same date and pertain to the same game are tracked together as a batch for aging purposes.
· On average, tell us how long game codes are held by the company
before they are sold.
On
average, some batches of popular game codes such as Persona 5 Royal CN, Total War 3 Kingdoms, Football Manager 2023
are held by the company between 3 months to 6 months before they are sold. For less popular games, they may be held by the company between
6 months to more than a year.
· Provide us with data regarding the age of your game
codes at the end of each period presented.
The Company has supplementally provided the Staff with the aging data as of March 31, 2024 and 2023.
· Tell us whether management has a policy to write-off game
codes after a certain period of time. If so, provide us with the details of such policy.
The Company
does not have a policy to write-off game codes after a certain period of time. However, the Company has an impairment policy to
valuate the game codes periodically based on its market value.
9. Please address the following as it relates to your accounting
for game codes:
· We note in your response to prior comment 6 that the console game codes are acquired in batches but
that the cost of each game code is transferred to cost of goods sold upon the sale of each individual code. Confirm the unit of account
for the game codes. For example, clarify whether you consider each game code to be a separate intangible asset. To the extent each code
is not a separate unit, explain how you group your units of account.
· Given that the primary purpose of purchasing the console game codes is for resale, tell us how you
considered the guidance in ASC 350-30-35-2, which states that the useful life of an intangible asset is the period over which the asset
is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of that entity. In this regard, while your response states
that each game code is available for sale indefinitely, explain further how you considered the historical sales of your game codes in
determining the period over which such codes are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows.
· Describe how you considered the life of the console game associated with the game codes in your analysis,
including details about the life cycles of the games.
· Your response appears to focus on the guidance in ASC 350-30-35-3(c). However, tell us how you considered
the other criteria in this guidance. In this regard, specifically address your consideration of ASC 350-30-35-3 (a) and (e) and
the fact that game codes are purchased for resale and your history of selling such game codes. Also, explain how you considered that games
may become less popular over time or as new versions of the games are released.
Response:
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and provide additional explanation and clarification as following:
· We
note in your response to prior comment 6 that the console game codes are acquired in batches
but that the cost of each game code is transferred to cost of goods sold upon the sale of
each individual code. Confirm the unit of account for the game codes. For example, clarify
whether you consider each game code to be a separate intangible asset. To the extent each
code is not a separate unit, explain how you group your units of account.
The Company purchases game codes in
batches for resale, with the purchase price clearly indicated as the per-unit price multiplied by the number of units purchased. Each
game code is considered a separate intangible asset, and as such, the cost of each individual game code is transferred to cost of goods
sold upon its sale.
· Given
that the primary purpose of purchasing the console game codes is for resale, tell us how
you considered the guidance in ASC 350-30-35-2, which states that the useful life of an intangible
asset is the period over which the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly
to the future cash flows of that entity. In this regard, while your response states
that each game code is available for sale indefinitely, explain further how you considered
the historical sales of your game codes in determining the period over which such codes are

File No. 333-280559
Dear Sebastian Toke:
We have reviewed your amended registration statement and have the following
comments.
Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe a comment applies to your facts and circumstances
or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your response.
After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information you
provide in response to this letter, we may have additional comments. Unless we note otherwise,
any references to prior comments are to comments in our July 15, 2024 letter.

1.Please explain what the RFAC and GCL columns in the tables on pages 61 and 62
represent. In this regard, the income statement information appears to reflect historical
and not pro forma results for each entity while the balance sheet data includes pro forma
information. Also, these columns do not include “combined” information. Please revise
accordingly.

2.We note your response to prior comment 2. Please further revise to disclose the fact that
in the event more than 660,602 public shareholders elect to redeem and GCL waives the
minimum cash condition, the Sponsor will be responsible for all expenses incurred by RF
Acquisition Corp. and PubCo will be responsible for expenses incurred by GCL up to
$4,500,000. Similar revisions should be made wherever you discuss the maximum
redemption scenario assuming waiver of the minimum cash condition.

3.We note your effective tax rate decreased significantly from fiscal 2023 to 2024, which
you mainly attribute to an increase in deferred tax benefits resulting from the recognition
of additional deferred tax assets from net operating loss in your Singapore subsidiaries
during fiscal 2024. Please tell us how the rate reconciliation on page F-87 supports this
disclosure or revise as necessary. In this regard, it appears your tax provision was
impacted more by the tax rate difference for entities outside of Singapore as well as gains
or loss from foreign exchange transactions. Also, revise to clarify whether you anticipate
the recent decrease in your tax provision to be indicative of a trend in your future effective
tax rates.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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 it 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.

activated by end users, clarify whether the third-party platforms maintain and
control the console game codes before they are delivered to the end users.
•Your revised disclosures state that you recognize revenue based on the consideration
expected to be received from the gaming platform, which is determined based on a
predetermined rate applied to the gaming platform's monthly sales. Explain who has
the discretion in establishing the price of the published game on the gaming
platforms.

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 April 24, 2024, relating to the Company’s

The Company is concurrently

Your

Here and/or as applicable throughout the filing, please disclose the potential impact on the per share value of the shares owned

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial
Information, page 101

As defined on page 7, Incentive
Shares can be used as incentive in connection with non-redemption or sources of Transaction Financings. Your pro forma financial
statements appear to assume that 2.0 million shares will be issued as incentive for shareholders not to redeem their SPAC shares
with an offsetting entry to share-based compensation. Please tell us and revise your disclosures throughout to address the following:
• Explain
how Incentive Shares, and the related pro forma adjustments, will be impacted should you enter into a Transaction Financing prior
to closing. For example, assuming you enter into a Transaction Financing for the issuance of 2.0 million shares, clarify whether
you will be able to also issue Incentive Shares pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement.
Response:
Pursuant to Section 6.6 of the Merger Agreement, PubCo’s obligation to issue the 2,000,000 Incentive Shares at Closing
is not conditioned on the Transaction Financing. Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may allocate any or all of the Incentive Shares
at Closing to (i) investors who agree not to redeem their shares in connection with the business combination, (ii) investors
in the Transaction Financing, or (iii) Sponsor itself. We have received no signed subscription agreement for the Transaction
Financing at this time, and do not know if Sponsor will need to use any or all of the Incentive Shares as an incentive for investors
to participate in the Transaction Financing. We also will not know the terms of any non-redemption agreements, or if we will need
to enter into non-redemption agreements at all until we are close to the Closing. In response to the Staff’s comment, we have
clarified it in the definition of “Incentive Shares” on page 7 and in the pro forma financials footnote disclosure on
pages 117 and 118 that PubCo’s obligation to issue the 2,000,000 Incentive Shares at Closing is not conditioned on the Transaction
Financing, and disclosure on page 122 that the pro forma adjustments will likely change subject to the terms of the non-redemption
agreements, if any and the Transaction Financing.
• Describe
how Incentive Shares will be used to avoid further redemption. For example, explain whether you intend to issue one Incentive Share
(or a fraction of such share) for every non-redeemed share and how you considered such terms in the assumptions used under the Maximum
Redemption Scenario.
Response:
There are no non-redemption agreements at this time. However, RFAC may enter into non-redemption agreements (or similar
arrangements) with investors who agree not to redeem their shares in connection with the business combination. The Sponsor, in its
sole discretion, may allocate any or all of the Incentive Shares at Closing to such investors in consideration of their entering
into non-redemption agreements. We will not know the terms of these non-redemption agreements, or if we will need to enter into non-redemption
agreements at all until we are close to the Closing. In response to the Staff’s comment, we have clarified the disclosure on
pages 17 and 44, and on page 122 that the pro forma adjustments will likely change subject to the terms of the non-redemption
agreements.
• Clarify
whether the number of shares redeemed under the Maximum Redemption Scenario will change if you are able to complete a Transaction
Financing and explain how.
Response:
Under the Maximum Redemption Scenario, we have calculated the maximum number of shares that may be redeemed and will still allow
RFAC to meet the $25.0 million Minimum Cash requirement. Pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Merger Agreement, the $25.0 million
Minimum Cash requirement can be met by a combination of the aggregate cash available to PubCo from the Trust Account at Closing and
the Transaction Financing which is defined as a private placement or other alternative financing in an aggregate amount of not less
than $20.0 million. Since we have received no signed subscription agreement for the Transaction Financing at this time, we have assumed
that the $25.0 million Minimum Cash requirement will be met by having at least $25.0 million cash balance in the Trust Account at
Closing. In response to the Staff’s comment, we have added disclosure on pages 17, 44 and 122 to clarify that the number of
shares redeemed under the Maximum Redemption Scenario will change if we are able to complete the Transaction Financing.
• Explain
how the Business Combination will be impacted if more shareholders elect to redeem their shares such that you are unable to meet
the $25.0 million Minimum Cash requirement.
Response: Pursuant
to Section 9.3(b) of the Merger Agreement, the $25.0 million Minimum Cash requirement is a closing condition. If it is not
met, GCL can choose not to close the business combination or waive the Minimum Cash requirement. In response to the Staff’s
comment, we have added a scenario on pages 17-18, 64-67 and 114-126 assuming that the $25.0 million Minimum Cash requirement is not
met and parties nonetheless choose to close the business combination.

Condensed Combined Financial Information Transaction Accounting Adjustments to Unaudited Pro forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations,

Please
explain why pro forma adjustment (AA) is reflected in the Maximum Redemption Scenario column or revise.
Response: The Company acknowledges the staff’s
comment and has revised the pro forma adjustment (AA) to only eliminate the interest earned from trust account based on the redemption
rate rather than 100% eliminated.
Note 4. Loss per Share, page 110
8.
We
note the 2.0 million Incentive Shares are included in the RFAC Initial SPAC Management shares outstanding. As it appears such shares
may be issued to SPAC public shareholders as incentive for non-redemption or third parties as part of a Transaction Financing, please
revise to reflect the Incentive Shares as a separate line item and include a footnote explaining how the ultimate holder of such
shares will be impacted. Similar revisions should be made elsewhere throughout the prospectus where you present share ownership tables.
Response:
Pursuant to Section 6.6 of the Merger Agreement, Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may allocate any or all of the Incentive
Shares at Closing to (i) investors who agree not to redeem their shares in connection with the business combination, (ii) investors
in the Transaction Financing, or (iii) Sponsor itself. We have received no signed subscription agreement for the Transaction Financing
at this time, and do not know if Sponsor will need to use any or all of the Incentive Shares as an incentive for investors to participate
in the Transaction Financing. We also will not know the terms of any non-redemption agreements, or if we will need to enter into non-redemption
agreements at all until we are close to the Closing. In response to the Staff’s comment, we have added disclosure on pages 17,
44, 117 and 118 to clarify that we have assumed that Sponsor will retain all 2,000,000 Incentive Shares at Closing.

note that several assumptions related to your projected financial information include certain acquisitions and Transaction Financing

assumptions and projected financial information are still reasonable.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s
comment and has revised the Registration Statement to include the requested information. Please see pages 148-149 of the F-4.
Information Related to the Company, page 155

We
note that you have entered into distribution agreements with game developers and publishing agreements with game studios. Please
revise to include a discussion of the material terms of the agreements including a description of the rights and obligations of the
parties thereto, financial terms including amounts paid to date, aggregate milestone amounts to be paid or received and the termination
provisions, and file them as exhibits. In addition, quantify the percentage of revenue that each material supplier or game developer
represents and whether you are substantially dependent on any one game developer. Refer to Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s
comment. All of the Company’s distribution agreements and publishing agreements are contracts made in the ordinary course of business.
We have provided a summary of the general terms of these agreements on pages 178 through 181 of the F-4. Since the distribution
revenue derived from Sega game titles accounted for more than 10% of our total consolidated revenue for the past two fiscal years, we
have included more detailed disclosure on the general terms of our agreements with Sega, and have filed them as Exhibits 10.8 through
10.10 with the F-4. We have redacted certain pricing information in Exhibits 10.8 and 10.9 pursuant to Regulation S-K Item 601(b)(10)(iv) due
to the sensitive and confidential nature of such information. The Company agrees to furnish to the Staff, upon request, an unredacted
copy of Exhibits 10.8 and 10.9 for confidential, non-disclosable, review.

by removing the disclosure in question.
