Instant-Gaming

Cheaper, yes. But I never received the code for the bonus content from The Sims 4 Life and Death Expansion Pack. And they had the gallstones to get snippy with me in customer support?! There is no support! And to think that I would consider partnership. Update: They did eventually give me the bonus code, but it's for the wrong platform! I play on Xbox and they gave me the bonus code for the PC version. As I stand by my statement. Instant Gaming is a TOTAL SCAM!

The headache is not worth the savings.

I bought a game from Instant Gaming just fine, and the product code worked. When attempting to make a second purchase, my credit card company deemed the site suspicious and locked my card. After making numerous phone calls and spending a half an hour of my time my card was finally unlocked. The next day I attempted to make the same purchase, only to receive the error "The product code you've entered is not valid."

I reached out to IG Support, who stated it was now their security team who deemed the transaction suspicious, at which point they requested a photo of my credit card and photo ID.

Under no circumstances am I, or any other sane person, going to submit a photo of my credit card and ID.

For these reasons I say it is a SCAM. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME

I had high hopes for this website. After buying a CD key for Steam, I was told I need to send a photo of my ID for "verification". This was the first time a key shop asked me this and I've bought over 100 cd keys for Steam. Not instant at all. Support is slow and I've read it may take up to 6 hours to get my order, which is extremely frustrating.

I bought a key from instant gaming not realizing it was it would direct me to another site to claim it. That site GOG showed my purchase as a "free gift" and therefore not returnable. When I tried to download the average size game it will take just over 12 hours. I tried to cancel to order it elsewhere. Instant gaming said once I activate the code they don't care. My point is I activated the code believing it was returnable.

It seems they pretend to accept PayPal and then ask for ID, after submitting ID they decline the purchase and say try again with credit card instead.

Do not use this website, they are a scam and should be avoided.

They also sell stolen keys as reported on other forums.

After they've taken your money they present you with the notification that they will hold you already purchased product hostage, until you hand over all your personal information. Like a picture of you passport and credit card. Assuming that their protection of this information is at best "not $#*!", which is a wild assumption, it's a 50/50 on whether or not your passport and credit card information will end up on the dark web some day. Nobody in their right mind would ever hand over this information to some random game selling website.

I tried to get a copy of total war warhammer 1 today and instant gaming sent me a region locked code that i bought at the time that said worldwide code so not sure if its used or not but just cant get any help with it and as for customer service they are no help they want all my info for steam to see if its just a log in problem but no way.

Been using Instant-Gaming for years and i can say that i feel very happy with the service, it is fast, secure and have challenging price... A big thanks to the support teams as well, they always respond in short time.

Very good experience, professional and solve the Issues in very short time

Instant Gaming has saved me quite a lot of money throughout the years, it's easy and I've not really ever had an invalid code. The one time I did I received a full refund quite quickly and the support was great!
Every time I've had to contact support they have always helped me out with things I've needed if that be verification or questions!

Very good.

Ridiculously untrustworthy. They sold me a duplicate code then their support made me a ping-pong ball between them and Steam support that lead nowhere.

I ended re-purchasing the same game from a competitor of theirs. Although I have used them in the past I won't be returning there, and told them so.

Look elsewhere.

I just ordered a few cheap game keys as everyone else here has. I got the routine "order held to ransome" because it needed verification after PayPal was used to complete the order. I uploaded a heavily blurred pic of my drivers licence where 100% only my name can be made out. I get an immediate message asking for more proof in the form of positive photo ID. I politely tell them to shove it and ask to cancel and refund. Once again I get an immediate message saying the "verification was complete".

Quick lesson points here kids.
01. Don't use this service.
02. Always use PayPal and not your CC details.
03. These messages are all PHP generated. There isn't someone answering to "validate". They are just getting as much private info as they can from you. How can they possibly confirm what you give them anyway?

I am really happy with Instant Gaming, but want to be totally honest about the pros and the cons!

I will start with the negatives, which is that VAT is added on top of the listed price, so it isn't quite as much of a saving as it first appears. I assume as the website operates in many counties all with separate taxation rules. Also, there is a fee to pay via PayPal, which is always my preferred method when shopping online for safety reasons. I also think that it needs to be made clearer about DLC downloads, this didn't affect me, but I have seen negative reviews about people less versed in the gaming world getting caught out.

That being said, my personal experience was really positive. I bought two DLC for less than one full price on Steam. The codes were instantly in my account and were super easy to add to Steam. They worked perfectly and I have some cool new stuff in my game. I will 100% use Instant Gaming again and am really happy with my purchases.

It's all in the title: IG willingly and knowingly sells games that will not run on any modern system, and refuses refunds even though there is no way to know that they won't run on your system until you try to play them. Customer service was absolutely garbage too, refused to help even though they admitted that they knew the game wouldn't run. Their "terms of service" state there is no refund ever if you've already tried to redeem the key, but more than half the problems only come up after the key is used! They're happy to take your money and leave important information out of the specs so they can't claim that they said it would run, because they knew it wouldn't. I've been a customer of theirs for years but never again!

Don't use this service. Firstly, your money is going to a shady company that will hold your keys to ransome AFTER payment is made. Typically they will ask for either a copy of your drivers licence or passport to "verify your purchase". Even if you pay with PayPal they will still try and extort highly personal info from you that isn't required to make a purchase anywhere else on the planet.
Secondly, checkout where the company is headquartered. Do we really need to support their economy?

Awful company to deal with. Avoid!
I have bought Civilization IV access code from them but the code they have sent me was already activated by somebody else so useless for me! I have contacted their customer service but they were very unhelpful and refused to give me a refund!

I'm using Instant Gaming for while. So far service is perfect without even single hitch. And only one time key didn't work, they asked a couple of screenshots for verification before refunding it. I advice everybody to go for it, and purchase normally overpriced keys at great discounts that are always available at Instant Gaming. Yeah, I'm that happy with the service.

Fast, efficient and without any nonsense. Shows how much Instant Gaming truly value and treasure their customers. I'm very satisfied!

Ordered 15 games so far, all of them came instantly. Sometimes they ask for your ID next to the logo for security reasons but that's solved quickly and it comes with their apology for the time you had to wait. All they need is to see the name matches the name on the credit card so you can use Paint or something similar to hide the other info. Extremely professional, great prices, instant games. Highly recommended.

Although I understand the need for a verification system, having to send ID can turn many customers the other way, not everyone is gonna trust a website with their information. I got my items in the end, but it was a hassle.

From start to the end there was no problem well communicating with this company and ease of use and their prices give the highest numbers of stars i would recommend anyone that wants to buy cheap Keys for a video games to buy them from instant gaming

So many companies out there trying to sell keys but in my time I've only ever trusted one now I can add instant gaming to my list very cheap and very reliable so thank you and keep up the awesome work

If you wanna save money for your sim packs buy from here. I was adamant at first because of the identification process but it was easy and once I sent in my picture it came in a couple minutes and I could start playing.

I got quick replies by 24/7 service department.

I had a quick and problem-free refund, after purchasing the wrong game.

When they run out of stock, they quickly get new stock. In case of FC 24.

Good store

Described before.

Generally speaking, this site has a much better experience than other sites that provide key buying services. Much better deals and a generally quick delivery. Do be aware that some purchases require you to provide an ID, which is not always good, but regardless an excellent site all round.
