It's a marketplace so you never know what you will get sometimes and it is nice to know that as long as you pay for the Buyers-Protection, you are covered no matter what.

I have had a really bad experience with this company.

I have ordered key for two games here a long time ago, I even paid for buyer protection.

After my purchase I got a message that those games were added to my Kinguin Game Library where I thought they where safe since they never informed that any risk of the keys getting invalid existed - that's what I had paid extra buyer protection for.

Now, after a long time struggling with a disease I am getting slowly back into life and so also into gaming - but those keys I bought don't work and kinguin refuses to replace them - despite buyer protection, despite not having properly informed that any risk existed with that purchase.

I did provide any information they wanted but they say they can't clear it up and therefore wouldn't replace the keys... well, thanks for nothing, I learned that I'm not the only one experiencing this with the "buyer protection". Their position is: "The Buyer Protection which you purchased does not guarantee you that you will recieve the replacement or refund." - well they should tell you *before* you buy!

With that slap into my face I can only advise to choose one of the attractive alternatives when buying games on the net.

UPDATE 23/3/2018
****************************
I've been buying games, gift cards, software keys basically everything from this website constantly for more than a year now and I can't be more satisfied than this! The prices are very cheap and the support agents are extremely friendly, if I was able to rate it again I would give it another 5 starts for sure! Keep up the amazing service Kinguin! Please don't go the way G2A went and ruin this beautiful service!
****************************
I bought many games from Kinguin, and they all got delivered instantly without a delay and without a single problem during checking out!
Awesome service I'd definitely give it more than 5 star if I could.

Note: Just had an issue with an order and it got solved instantly with the LiveChat even without their "Kinguin Buyer Protection", the support agent was extremely friendly I only talked to him for 10 minutes and it felt like he was my friend for a life-time! This was the best support I had my entire life!

Reliable and trustworthy support. They solved some of my questions with the regional restrictions that I received after buying one of the games. They reimbursed the funds that I spent.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!
My Windows 10 Pro key does not work. I reinstalled a fresh version of Windows and it will not accept the key. There is no option to activate by phone as is stated in the instructions. There is no customer service, only a computer to chat with that does not understand the problem. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!
