Every key that i've bought has been valid and been delivered almost instantly. It's also a great site for selling your game keys, the support is always helpful and quick to answer your questions.

Scam

GDPSTEVSUEE

Paid two days ago, then the request came that I should send documents for authorization. I refused, with the request to either send the product or to refund the money. Nothing received despite several reminders. Now I have to complain about the transaction to the operator of my credit card.

I purchased a key for a game, didnt get the key, after a week i got an email saying the key wasnt avaible anymore. So they wanted to refund me, still after 2 months now i havent got my money back. The Support is a joke. 1 week for one answer, due to covid 19... home office is a thing you know... and now they dont answer at all

Have bought many a game from Kinguin, even one i already owned (silly me) and they refunded me straight away after verifying i hadn't redeemed.
Then i bought a game after with the refund money via the nvidia deal thingo for the gtx1080ti but it was invalid as it had expired (the date ended apparently didn't know that type of deal existed but pretty sad that they have end dates)
But i put in a ticket, and it was resolved within 24 hours as they contacted the seller and got my refund for me.
10/10 one of the best digital marketplaces for video games whether it be Xbox, Ps4 or PC.

Bought a W10Pro Key. Installed (actually upgraded) to W10Pro without a problem, but encountered an activation problem after that. Tried Microsoft's phone activation, but that didn't help.
After 5min the chat bot transferred me to a real agent that solved the problem within 2min.
Great

Sorry, but I'm not the only unhappy person here. As you can see there are more people in the same situation than me and know who else, you do nothing. Because it's not you who run out of money.

Simply ridiculous as this webSite has a payments service that take people's money to an order stays in pending "forever" when we contact the support they say that it is not their fault and that we and we have to solve the problem their. I can not even say that this is bad or bad... It's the TIP: Do not be an idiot

Do not purchase from "Kinguin"You don`t get what you pay for. They put your order on hold, and play you at your game (free to try) to obtain a refund.

I purchased a key for a PC game and when I went to activate it, the key was already used (invalid). When I tried to report it to the merchant I got no response. When I escalated to Kinguin support 8 days ago now, still no response. I am writing as many reviews as I can to tell everyone DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING from this site. They are a SCAM SITE and will STEAL YOUR MONEY! STAY AWAY!

Not a scam

This site seems like a scam at first glance but it isn't. Bought from it twice and wasn't disappointed. They have some solid deals on various video games. Will probably buy from them again.
