“Excellent Customer Support”

I've had some questions or mix-ups while using Kinguin. The customer support chat was more polite than I expected. They solved my issues relating to coupon codes and offer listings. Thank you particularly to Margo. I'm a happily returning customer.

“SCAM”

Emre C.

Ordered black ops 6 through alter gift, well worst possible option ever, DO NOT TRUST THIS. Firstly, the merchant promises he will send the game after 72 hours after purchase. So I added the Battle.net ID of the merchant. After 72 hours, I messaged the merchant my order ID. Suddenly, he says it will take 92 hours. After all that he says yeah I can't send the game because I reached the gift limits. Just wait another extra day and I will send it to you tomorrow. You can apply for a refund, I will give back your money instantly. Now guess what, he suddenly went offline or blocked me. Neither did I get my refund or my game. I tried to contact Kinguin with the live chat, well no real person with only bull$#*! responses without any solution or anything to refund my money back or get another key. Submitted a ticket with no response. Submitted a ticket to complain about the merchant also no response. Should I take legal actions?

Bought some games that were removed from steam, all of them worked, great alternative to G2A if you're looking to get around some of G2A's shady tactics.

Had to confirm my identity by sending ID when I used CRYPTO CURRENCY PAYMENT

BULL$#*!, no further explanation from support agent. No details were provided

Thumbnail of user johns1767
John S. – Kinguin Rep

Dear Clinton,
Thank you for sharing a few words regarding your latest purchase.
We would like to point out that like many stores, in some cases we have to verify some details before an order is completed.
That is done to prevent any form of fraud against your account, we value our customer's security quite highly.
Cryptocurrency is treated by us as simply another payment method and that is why in some cases, verification occurs.
It is our hope that this answers your questions and that perhaps you will visit Kinguin again in the future.
Should you have any further questions, remember that we're at your disposal 24/7, be it through the ticket system as well as LiveChat.
Best regards,
Pat
