Legitimate site that allows you to purchase games for cheaper than normal. I have made multiple purchases here.

“Avoid humblebundle at all cost”

They sold a Steam key for a game that was not available in my country, even they made me fill in my residence country for the purchase. And after 1 week of opening support tickets, I'm still waiting for a simple reply from them for my refund. Avoid at all costs. It's just an automated site with barely anyone behind it to cover you in case something goes wrong.

Don't use them. Paused my subscription but then money came out. I contacted them and told them I was unhappy that money came out when I'd paused my account.

Despite providing screenshots showing I paused my account, they bluntly refused to do anything because their system didnt show a pause.

They often didn't read my response and sent useless information about how its my responsibility to pause the subscription.

I've cancelled my subscription which I've had for years.

DO NOT USE THEM.

I've used this site several times over the years and it has worked just fine! From the reviews it seems that if you have a problem the support isnt the best, but they do definitely offer games at good prices!

Currently a 24 hour delay for a pre order even though the game is already out

Takes up to five days for a refund

Can't get the pre order anymore

So either have to wait until they give out keys or just buy a normal copy

Verified purchase

As of February 2022, if you pull up nearly any new game on Humble's website it will list a discount price for Humble Choice Members. For example, see the attached image from Elden Ring Deluxe Edition where it says "Save an Additional $16 with Humble Choice". Sounds like a great deal right? No Astrix or stipulations listed anywhere on the site, you just need to be a Humble Choice member. Well, I signed up for a membership only to find that this price is only available for people who have been a member for 12 months, and new members only get 5% off. I contacted Humble, and 4 days later they got back to me telling me that there's nothing they can do to help me. Meanwhile, the pricing is still listed incorrectly. Readding through threads on Reddit, it seems that Humble pulling dishonest bait and switch tactics is nothing new, definitely stay away.

Tip for consumers:
Avoid this site. However, if you want to take your chance, use a credit card that will back you up with the option to charge back any misleading or broken promises from Humble.

Wont let me access my account and paid for games, as they refuse to send browser verification email to me, instead they ban me from support so they can continue robbing others and forget about me as they already stolen from me

Bought product for myself, then bought same product as a gift. That second order is canceled because multiple orders of the same digital product are not possible, but it is charged! "Your money is reserved by the bank" - but never got money back from the bank.
In first place they should not give an option for a second purchase of the same product if that is not possible.
Plus terrible support. Helping me with closing my ticket, lol. Screenshot: prntscr.com/rzxzmd

Their system got a bug where you could choose 2 more games from the months you subscribed with classic plan. I was happy cause it seemed to me to be something that was like a "Thank you" for all the members that stayed on Classic plan, even tho we had some months where new accounts would get the choice games cheaper than us loyal customers.

Sadly it turned out to be a bug which they fixed. And not only that, but those who revealed their keys would get to keep them... those on the other hand who didnt reveal them lost them, me being one of them. To think that naively thought it was just a kind act...

Nice way to both fix your mistake and say "F. K you" to all your loyal customers in one go. I have been subscribed since 2017 and I am regretting it now.

Tip for consumers:
Just dont use it.

I've been using Humble for a few years now. I was sick for a long time and was given a Humble Monthly subscription to help with being stuck at home. Every month, for 12 dollars, I was getting a bunch of games. I might only enjoy 2-3 of them, but that's still great value for games that would normally cost a lot more.

I am still getting the Humble Choice classic sub now. 12 games for 12 dollars every month. I pause more often now because I have a lot of games in my Steam library that haven't been played yet.

Oh and a percentage goes to a charity every month. =)

They have some good deals in their store during the sales as well, and I've often bought a key from Humble, that was cheaper than the Steam sale.

Since I've been using their site for a long time, I have ran into issues with keys on more than one occasion. I've found their customer support to be very nice and helpful, and issues have been resolved within a day or two. I honestly have nothing but praise for their support team.

Due warning: If you're a subscriber, (or buy a charity bundle) don't trade your gift links on grey market sites. Because the games are sold cheaply in aid of charity, their subscriber agreement states that they must be activated on your account or gifted to a friend. They have banned some accounts that were caught selling on the grey market or trading to resellers. Just something to be aware of.

I bought my first bundle 9-19-22 days later when I try to get all 3 of the codes for Lego Starwars games it says they ran out of codes? It says they will add codes asap but more than 3 weeks later they still haven't added any and I'm not the only one there's others who been trying to get their codes for the same bundles same games and this is rediculous, these are code we paid money for and own they can't just turn around and sell them when we legaly own them! I've been re-checking for the codes daily too. Then if you try to contact them they have a notice that it's going to take more than 10 days to get to your email. Like they don't even want to try and help you and there's no number for you to call and they ask for a purchase number for you to submit but there's none on their purchase page? I'm already loosing hope to even getting my codes or a refund or even for an exchage to a different game code if my Lego games is not available. Oh yeah but if you search for each of the same games in their site you can still purchase it without any warning that they are out of keys even if you add them each game to your cart to purchase them for full regular price. Yeah but they claim there's no codes left? Scammers! Stay away from this site. I even try to contac them on their FB and they don't let you make a post also. I mentioned it on their other FB post and no coment from them. A good way to avoid someone from revealing them! Oh well time for a Paypal claim! It's sad because they claim this is all for charity? Sure to help themselves!

Tip for consumers:
If you do hapoen to buy codes then ese them really quick before they sell them to someone else because if they do resell them then you'll be in my shoes.

Bad experience after buying from them for years. They set limits on how many bundles or of each game you can buy, which was never a problem. Then recently they start blocking my cards, including bank card from being able to purchase. Ok fine, so keep buying with Paypal which they didn't seem to have a problem with, so still keep buying up to their buying limits. Then more trouble starts, now I have to verify my phone number through a text message, ok, now need to wait a few hours for every purchase to either get approved or get cancelled, a few get approved and a few don't, guess it depends on what mood they are on. I have even been on their monthly membership for over a year. Contact support, get accused of not using keys for personal use, wow, ok. Um, got 6 computers at home and deal with many more computers besides the 6 at home. I am buying at their limits, and somehow I'm breaking their TOS. I am paying them with money, for purchasing on their site. I am making purchases for a few years now. I am buying, paying, not scamming them, for a long time. I Pay for the items, I DO NOT STEAL THEM, I pay. Never gave them any problems, never even contacted their customer service until this happened. Guess I will have to buy from other places, and not bother with them at all, or at very minimum, might even just cancel the monthly subscriptions now, not like they are the only place to buy games and stuff from. Very disappointed at their service, and even when you do buy their game keys and stuff, it's really none of their business what you do with them, customers are paying.

Where do I begin. Just like everyone else review... they really only care about money. None of their systems actually work properly. I have been subscribed now over 3 years to the bundle and once they changed the structure of the bundle it all went to hell. Ex. Of it going to hell: repeat games from old bundles(when humble bundle wasnt a rip off)... so you gave us the game to automatically gift to someone? Multiplayer only games that are 5 years plus old and the community is completely dead. My final straw, and why I am reporting, was I wanted to cancel my subscription after all this to find out I would be FORCED to be subbed still till my entire subscription runs out (a year subscription) and lose ALL my perks for being a subscriber. Another piece of info that I would like to share from observing them over the last 3 years... They will put a 80 dollar game into a bundle about exactly 3 months after it has gone on an 85% sale on steam. I started noticing this after the first 6 bundles, by the time I got through a year or so of bundles I noticed this was their normal... Now it is even worse, they are putting absolutly trash games in they bought at 2 dollars and claiming them to be 19.99 dollar games to up their game value. They are a disgusting company.

Sounded like an okay deal. I signed up for monthly with my paypal account. It wanted to send me an sms message to confirm, but I don't have a cell phone. I posted to the support thing to see if they could do some work around like calling me and giving me the confirmation code. No response. The site automatically cancelled my order after 24 hours. No response offered by support.

Might be okay, if you have a cell phone. And don't ever expect support questions to actually be responded to.

Honestly this is the best site for finding games for the cheap. Their bundles are amazing. I might only want one game in the bundle but at the price, the game is already cheap and i get other similar free games. If i really want a game and had to buy now, i always check humblebundle stores before steam. They usually have some kind of discount at that moment.

After HB was purchased by IGN some time ago, HB support became really awful. Blaming a customer for reselling, trading or being a scammer in a common thing today for support members, but not helping customers. Early this bundle site was one of the best, now it's another greedy key shop.

This is the place if you want to buy your favorite games with major discounts. Their bundles might now always be as good as you'd expect, but they're well worth the cost.

Not all the bundles they offer are worth a buy, but once in a while you can come across some amazing deals. The monthly subscription is usually worth it, you definitely get your moneys worth from it.
