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.
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?
Great customer service and you never have to worry about being ripped off. I do recommend purchasing the buyer protection however.
Pretty sure that there are no better place to buy games at best prices :P Don't waste more time reading comments and go into Kinguin! :D

LOYALITY AND HONESTY IS HERE>
Great site, have not had a problem so far other then i got a code that had already been redeemed, i contacted the support and got refunded in 20min.
I ordered 2 games, and thought I hadn't bought it in the right region. 10 minutes later, with a live chat, and it was solved.
I bought a Windows key and I couldn't get it to work but the customer rep was great and had it all sorted for me in a matter of about a minute.
SCAM!

When I buy something from a discount website like this I expect there are the potential for issues. The concept isn't a scam, bulk keys are things that exists and sometimes distributor's will sell them like any old stock in a brick and mortar store, or a large business that bought hundreds of keys to use goes belly up and they get sold in liquidation. This website uses other sellers and aren't directly responsible when something goes wrong. Sometimes these sellers don't know a key was already used before they got the lot. Sometimes they are just nefarious and sell illegitimate keys. I'm not faulting them for the fact that bad keys get sent out. The nature of these this type of business means that it will happen. They offer a buyer protection for just that situation. My problem with this website is how they handle that buyer protection. I bought a key and tried to use it right away only to have issues. I filed a claim with support right then, not even 30 minutes after my initial order. 2 days later I hadn't heard back so I decided to contact support chat to see what kind of response I should expect. They claimed that they could resolve the issues in chat but needed more information. Because I was at work and the computer in question at home my problem is still not resolved. If my situation could be followed up with so quickly why did I have to track them down in the chat to get a solution? When I've paid explicitly for purchase protection and say I have a problem, I should be met with a swift response.
Edit: They did resolve the problem in chat. It took about 10 minutes (if that) but I still maintain my low score. If an issue could be resolved in a chat that quickly then it shouldn't have taken 2 days to get a response to my ticket. All support methods should offer similar levels of quality. I shouldn't have to know to go to that chat rather than the ticket system to get service.
Dear Joseph,
Thank you very much for your review.
Indeed, we are a platform where different merchants can sell various products. In order to sell on our site it is necessary to send an application and provide us with some information we verify, to be sure that the keys derive from legal sources.
We are aware that sometimes the keys happen to be faulty, however please note, that we are available on our 24/7 LiveChat and via tickets, ready to assist. Kinguin Buyer Protection gives some privileges, buy even if you decide not to purchase it, we are here to help. We do our best to resolve the problems as soon and swiftly as possible.
Since the decisions we make regard the products sold by our merchants, and not by us directly, we need to investigate each and every case with details, to be sure what causes the problem and report it. Moreover, some issues are caused by server errors and we need to check if it's still possible to activate the product. Hence, we need some data and some screenshots to check what went wrong.
We are sorry if you experienced inconveniences in regard to your purchase. We would like to assist you and we hope that our next conversation on LiveChat will lead us to positive solution of the case.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Margo

Reccomend this site for daily use and purschases.
Order S48IE7FD5781
On January 15,2019 I sell my Star Wars Battlefront II Origin CD Key for 13.99.
The buyer validates the key downloads and installs the games and then files a complaint because the game contains Spanish-Mexican and not Spanish Spanish!
Then Kinguin decided to keep all my money and my 13,99 and sent me a message to propose -5% on my next purchase!
I am shocked by this practice! It is very disappointing I do not recommend to sell or buy on Kinguin.net
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Le 15 janvier 2019 je vends ma clé Star Wars Battlefront II Origin CD Key pour 13,99. L'acheteur valide la clé télécharge et installe jeux puis il dépose plainte parce que le jeux contient de l'Espagnol-Mexicain et pas Espagnol Espagnol!?!
Par la suite Kinguin a décidé de gardé mon argent et mes 13,99 et m'envoi un message pour me proposer -5% lors de mon prochain achat!
Je suis choqué par cette pratique! C'est très décevant je ne recommande pas de vendre ni d'acheter sur Kinguin.net
I bought Escape From Tarkov and paid with paypal, I got my key as soon as I paid, excelent service! I will definitly buy again from this site!
They don't check the key's before selling them? The key I bought was already used.
