This scam website
February 12, 2021

Scam website only sells already used keys. They don't support devs and will steal your money and sell your data. NEVER buy from Kinguin.

SCAM!
April 17, 2018

Short version: I bought a windows 10 key, it is invalid. They tried to get me to fake a BS hack to activate it. Requested a refund as Microsoft verified this isnt what they sold me. Jerked me around for 3 weeks before promising a refund in 5 days. 3 weeks later, no refund and I'm still messing with them. Avoid at all costs.

Long Version: Purchased windows 10 pro and buyer protection. They key did not work so I tried contacting Kinguin, they didn't respond. Naturally believing I had purchased a legitimate product I contacted Microsoft for the help Kinguin wasn't providing. Microsoft informed me that what I had received was a "downgrade key" to take windows 10 pro and downgrade it to home. This violates section 5 of their terms of service. After 5 days without a response from kinguin I wrote a bad review and poof, support responded. Kinguin informed me that I could only activate my key with the automated windows 8 support phone line (HACK) but tried to convince me the key was what they sold and that Microsoft was wrong, about their own software and key. I called Microsoft again, a different support person verified what the first had said, this key is not as advertised. I demanded a refund as this violates their terms and I purchased the buyer protection, they jerked me around for weeks. After finally agreeing to a refund they informed me that it would take up to 5 business days, and that responding to that message would reset my wait, so I patiently waited. 3 weeks passed (now like 6 from original purchase) still with no refund. Almost 2 months in and I am still in contact with Kinguin over this issue, but I can no longer count the shady experiences and lies they have told me.

Hello Will,

Thank you for sharing your opinion.

We regret to inform you that after certain technical difficulties your refund wasn't processed successfully. We had to request it again and we hope the refund reaches you soon. We're sincerely sorry for the unimaginable delay you experienced.

Please note also that we treat all customers equally, regardless of whether they contact us in a ticket or on a review site, even if these two communication channels are handled by the respective departments. Our response time depends on the traffic during a given day.

Should you encounter any further issues, please contact us so we can fix them as soon as possible.

Best regards,

Beatrice
