Do not trust anything that tells you to use the old automated phone system that Microsoft has deprecated.

This site is one of the best. I come from a family with not much to spend adn here we can have nice games for normal prices. And the best thing is the random keys. Just for a couple of euro's we can play new games. I love this site

I paid a fair amount for Norton 360 premium 2 year's subscription, i am incredibly happy with the customer service, i had the key and activated after 3 minutes and i think that's great. The price was cheaper than other sellers or the official site. Overall, my experience was great and i look forward buying again from them. Thank you very much.

Bought 3 games so far, the service is great.

Only had a late delivery for 1 of them ( sea of thieves) but with the buyer's protection I got it refunded with a 10 euros discount on my next game.

Kinguin accept virtual credit cards which is great.
The prices are great aswel.

Would recommend

Super quick delivery time of the access code for the game and the process was super streamlined, not quite sure if all the stuff on the site will be this good because there are different sellers, but my experience was good.

Great reseller. Been a customer for years, easy and quick delivery via email with no complications.

Just now, for the first time in years, a key I bought couldn't be used because it was already redeemed. Within 15 minutes, my support ticket was answered and I got my replacement key.

Couldn't be happier with Kinguin.net.

Super fast delivery and low price! I was looking for a low price because I wasn't sure if I'd like the game. It turned out the game was exactly what I expected, thumbs up for Kinguin!

Prices are great and if you are getting cold feet, you can always add insurance to your purchases in case the key doesn't work. I was having trouble with a key and the customer support went above and beyond to help me

The support team does nothing but help. I can't say anything negative about them or their site, and while I am sorry for those who have had bad experiences, it doesn't deter me at all :) Viktor, and everyone else in their LiveChat team, do awesome work and get everything done quick, going far and beyond to help me. So happy I chose Kinguin over G2A!
