“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?

The key activation progress was a bit unorthodox and complicated. I wish they had included a stepbystep guide in the recipe but i contacted the support (chat 24/7) and he helped me with the steps in a maner of seconds. It worked fine but uneccesary complicated imo. Still it was super sheep and i would defenitly recomend using them and if ther is any hickup they are happy to help instantly. GREAT service. SOMEWHAT COMFUSING modusoperandi

Dear Janne,
Thank you for sharing your experience regarding the purchase on our store!
We are very glad that the issue is already resolved. We are sorry that the process of resolution is not easier, however unfortunately it does not depend on us. The issue results from the activation servers unavailability and thanks to alternative activation method we are able to activate the license so fast.
We hope that the issue will not appear again and that this situation will not discourage you from purchasing on our site again!
With the best regards,
Margo

Buying and selling is easy and quick, buyer Protection is a great feature!

If you're looking for discounted games for STEAM or ORIGIN, look no further!

Tip for consumers:
Don't forget to get a discount code to use on your purchases - Just stay logged in for a few minutes and you should get one.
