Questions about Kinguin
Can I get a refund on a Kinguin order?
Yes, you can request a cancellation or refund if the order has not been delivered. Eligibility depends on the product type and the delivery status, and the full refund conditions are always listed on the product page. To start a request, contact Kinguin Customer Support with your order details as soon as possible, since a delivered key is harder to cancel.
What exactly do I receive when I buy at Kinguin?
You receive a unique key. Every product bought at Kinguin.net comes in the form of a key that you redeem on a third-party platform, for example Steam, to access a video game or software. Kinguin states that it is not affiliated with these third-party platforms unless it explicitly says otherwise on the product.
Why should I read the product card on Kinguin before buying?
Because most products only give access through a specific third-party platform, often with a separate account for a particular device such as a PC or console, a territory such as Europe-only users, a language or a currency. Kinguin encourages you to read each product card, including the description, carefully before purchase so that the key works for your account.
Do sellers on Kinguin set a minimum order value?
Yes, for in-game currencies. Under clause 5.10 of the Kinguin T&C, sellers can set a minimum order value for products that include in-game currencies such as points, coins or credits. You can only buy these products once your order reaches the minimum set by that seller, which also matters when a voucher code has its own spending conditions.
How are in-game items delivered on Kinguin?
Mostly by in-game drop, face to face. For ARC Raiders items, for example, you join the seller's lobby or squad, deploy into a raid together, the seller drops the blueprint or item for you to pick up and you extract with the seller's protection. Afterwards you confirm on Kinguin that you have received the product.
What should I do if there is a problem with my Kinguin order?
Report delivery problems through the Kinguin Resolution Center. For general questions or other concerns you can open a ticket with Kinguin Customer Support, which states that it is available 24/7. Kinguin's role as a marketplace includes the resolution of disputes between buyers and sellers, so keep your order details at hand.
Do statutory withdrawal rights apply to in-game goods bought on Kinguin?
Yes. Kinguin has clarified in clause 10.9 of its T&C that statutory consumer withdrawal rights apply to In-Game Goods. The T&C also state that In-Game Goods should be bought solely for personal enjoyment within the intended game and not for gambling or speculative purposes (clause 2.15).
Which platforms do Kinguin keys cover?
Kinguin lists keys for Steam, Battle.net, EA App, Epic Games, GOG.com, Ubisoft, Rockstar Games, MS Store, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, Meta Quest, Android and iOS, among others. The homepage also shows software keys such as Windows 11 Professional and MS Office 2024, plus subscriptions and top-ups for services like Spotify and YouTube.
Why is my Kinguin voucher code not working?
Usually because the code has expired, a minimum spend has not been reached or the products in your basket are excluded from the offer. Check the terms of the code on this page or try another current offer. The codes are synced with the affiliate networks several times a day, and expired codes are marked as expired.
Kinguin: the digital marketplace for game keys, software and top-ups
Kinguin is a digital marketplace on which users from all over the world trade game keys, software licences, gift cards, subscriptions and in-game goods. It suits you if you play on PC or console and want to compare offers for the same title, or if you need a software key, a prepaid card or a top-up delivered digitally rather than in a box.
Since kinguin.net launched in 2013 the platform has grown to over 17,000,000 registered accounts. With a voucher code from save-up.co.uk you can lower the total of your Kinguin order further.
Range from game keys to prepaid cards and top-ups
Kinguin says it gives you access to over 150k games and other digital products. The main menu splits them into New & Noteworthy, Prepaids, In-Game Items, Software, CS2, Mystery Keys, Game top-up and Mobile top-up. Keys cover platforms such as Steam, Battle.net, EA App, Epic Games, GOG.com, Ubisoft, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and Meta Quest, and pre-orders for upcoming titles appear on the homepage as well.
- Software: Windows 11 Professional, MS Office 2024, Adobe Creative Cloud Pro and ESET Internet Security
- Prepaids: Steam Wallet cards, PSN and Xbox Live cards and 497 Apple gift card listings
- Top-ups and subscriptions: Spotify, YouTube Premium, ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, Crunchyroll and Amazon Prime Video
- In-game goods: EA SPORTS FC coins, Roblox Robux, Warframe Platinum, World of Warcraft gold and ARC Raiders items
- Mystery Keys: themed mystery boxes from individual sellers
A marketplace that matches buyers and sellers
Kinguin does not sell the products itself. Kinguin Digital Limited, based in Hong Kong, runs the platform and takes care of buyer-seller matching, payment, delivery and the resolution of disputes. What you buy is a unique key that you redeem on a third-party platform, so the product card matters: many keys are tied to a device, a territory, a language or a currency. Listings can be filtered by platform, activation region, price range, product language and delivery, and out-of-stock items can be hidden. For in-game goods there is a buyer-seller chat, and delivery problems go to the Resolution Center.
How to save on your Kinguin order
A voucher code from this page goes into the code field at checkout, and you should check that the total has dropped before you pay. Some products carry their own limits: sellers can set a minimum order value for in-game currencies, and certain subscription cards are marked non-stackable in their title. Guest Checkout, introduced in September 2023, lets you buy without an account, though some In-Game Goods are excluded from it. You can pay with PayPal, credit and debit cards, Paysafecard, cryptocurrencies, online banking or local methods depending on your country.
If you shop for other digital or media products, save-up.co.uk also lists Key4Games Discount Codes, The Game Collection Voucher Codes, Zavvi Promo Code and Fiverr Voucher Code among its further Software & Media shops.
Esports and projects beyond the shop
Kinguin is active well beyond selling keys. It moved into esports in 2014 with sponsorships of TSM and Fnatic, created its own esports team in 2015, opened the Kinguin Esports Performance Center in 2019 and the Kinguin Esports Lounge Gdansk in 2020. The performance centre celebrated 100 bootcamps in October 2023. In 2022 the first Kinguin Legends tournament took place, and in June 2024 Kinguin launched its very first game, Sneak Out.
