Ordering & Account
Do I need an account to buy a key?
No — an account isn't required. Place your order with your first name, last name, country, and a correct email address, and we'll send the key straight to that inbox.
Can I use a different billing name/email than my PayPal account?
Yes, that's fine — but we recommend matching your checkout email to your PayPal email to avoid delays. If our system flags a transaction as high-risk, we may place it on a short hold for extra verification.

Product Legitimacy
Are your product keys legitimate and legal?
Yes. Every key we sell is sourced from official distributors and authorized partners, so it's authentic and activates properly. If you ever run into activation trouble, our support team is ready to help.
Delivery
I purchased a pre-order, when do I receive it?
Your order stays in "processing" until the product is ready. We guarantee delivery no later than the game or software's official release date.
I didn't receive every item in my order. What should I do?
Most orders process in under 5 minutes. Occasionally it can take up to 6 hours — usually a fraud check or a brief stock delay on that key. If it's been longer than 5 minutes, reach out right away via live chat or [email protected] and we'll sort it out.
Activation & Troubleshooting
How do I activate my key?
Once your purchase is complete, we email your key along with activation instructions — make sure you enter a valid address at checkout.
- Check your email — look for our message with the key and instructions. Check spam/junk if you don't see it.
- Find the activation steps — these vary a bit depending on the game or software.
- Follow them carefully — most activations only take a minute.
For detailed walkthroughs, check our Guides section. Still stuck? Email [email protected] or use live chat, open 7:00 AM – 2:00 AM (European time).
What should I do if the digital item I purchased is not working or has stopped working?
Try these first:
- Invalid key message — confirm you're redeeming it on the right platform (Steam, EA app, etc.) and that you typed it exactly as it appears in the email.
- Wrong region — some keys are region-locked (Global, North America, EU...). Check the key's region matches yours.
- "Already used" error — contact live chat or [email protected] right away so we can look into it.
Refunds
I don't like the game/software — can I get a refund?
We get it — taste varies. But once a key is activated or redeemed, we can't revoke or refund it; that's outlined in our Terms & Conditions, which you agree to at checkout. We'd still love to hear your thoughts — a review on the product page helps other shoppers decide.
Bulk & Reseller
Do you offer bulk discounts or reseller deals?
Yes — across our whole catalog (game keys, Office, Windows, and other software licenses). For volume pricing or a reseller partnership, email [email protected].
