Well if you never had any problems and bought many games in there then you don't need to know our opinion about it.

Well today I discovered that some sites may be really good and still cause some troubles to some users so I would like to know users opinion because maybe they had some problems with the sites

+1 Can confirm site is great. And other coupons are MISS5 (5%) Maruu (3%)

And what's the point of advertising for there here ?
Sponsoring teams has nothing to do with being 'pretty much legal'.
They're not an Official Reseller and they actually resell keys they got from Bundles or Other merchants.. with higher prices.
Use them if you want but what do you get for advertising for them all over the place.
Comment has been collapsed.
First I checked more than 10 sites and kinguin proved to be the cheaper in 90% of the deals. Second I am not advertising them I am sharing something with the community because maybe someone did not know about them! Anyway if you think that I am doing something wrong kindly report me! I strongly believe that I am not doing something wrong in here and I believe in helping people and not in advertising!
Comment has been collapsed.
It's the same as G2A or many other key reselling websites. They're far from legal, but far from being scam either, which means you'll get the game, but it might get removed.

far from being scam either
except for the "random key" promo :P

well as long as I never had any problem with them and they have the best price on the deals that I am interested in this won't be a problem

i think you are just a memeber of kinguin and its just an advertisement

i just checked nuuvem the only game wish is cheaper than kinguin is GTA 5 only And steam store LOL :P I doubt it! Valve is a fucking money eating machine

why don't you use otogami isthereanydeal or other comparer sites?
Also that is from the same company under G2A, so the same.
Comment has been collapsed.
isthereanydeal does not mention kinguin even though kinguin have cheaper deals than most of the deals they post there. As for otogami i never tried it. And I never used g2a but sometimes they have cheaper deals than kinguin
Comment has been collapsed.
it does not mention kinguin because kinguin is a grey market,not an authorised reseller.

Good for you, but that does nothing to change my point. Just because you haven't had a problem (yet) - knock on wood - it doesn't mean that other people haven't at times. There have been some very ugly news stories publicized about those sites before.

First of all that is an old news article. Maybe they did, maybe they didn't. I didn't follow it closely enough to be able to say. I'm certainly not going to waste my time looking though.
Secondly, Valve is well known for being far from forthcoming when it comes to sharing news of anything. If they were, stuff like Half Life 3 wouldn't have become it's own internet meme. If they were, last week's whole paid mods for Skyrim fiasco could have been avoided before it was ever rolled out live.

i am not telling you to stop buying from there,i am just letting you know that it's not an authorized reseller... i might register and sell a key for " dead bits " under the name of gta 5 for 6 euros,get the money and delete my profile.... do you get it now?
Comment has been collapsed.
if you bothered checking their rules u will know that you can't do that :)
Comment has been collapsed.
You know this from personal experience or a few articles you read online? I'd say at least 80% of my over 500 steam games have been from these "shady sites" and I've never had an issue yet.
Comment has been collapsed.
A bit of a rhetorical question there since I said I would never shop on one of those sites.
As I said, just because something bad didn't happen to a particular person in their personal experiences it doesn't mean that it couldn't have gone bad in some cases, or that it hasn't to other people. For example, look what happened with the stolen Sniper Elite 3 keys that got revoked from people's accounts. The bottom line is there have been some discouraging stories out there that specifically name sites like G2A, Kinguin, and other gray market sites in particular. There is reason why those kind of things have been published. When you buy something on one of those sites you are taking a chance, and that's not something that you ever really have to worry about when you shop at an authorized reseller.
Comment has been collapsed.
There is something I don't understand... 40 games purchased in total and only 15 games in your (level2, 5 months old) account, 4 of them won in Steamgifts? And talking about a NO-OFFICIAL reseller, misinforming people?

dear smart :) I bough game keys and gave them to my customers and also gaveaway some in her and on steamcompanion :) For a second you seemed smart right?

blacklisted.
after reading all your posts it's pretty obvious you are a member there and you are advertising, your knowledge is far bigger than "starting user"... everyone who's thinking, after reading this theard will come to such conclusions.
In minor aspects you are "guessing", in big deals "you are sure", common. you seem to be even more fishy than that site.
Comment has been collapsed.
oh if you check some comparer site u will see most of the time kinguin isnt the cheapest
Comment has been collapsed.
actually I do check most of them and find kinguin as the cheapest in most cases but please if you can share with me a good comparer site I would be grateful!
Comment has been collapsed.
dlcompare or cdkeyprices, checked 5 games and only once was the kinguin is the cheapest, km x, cities skylines, pillars of eternity battlefield hartdline and 1 more i dont remeber and battlefield is that one
Comment has been collapsed.
Problem is the cheapest games are also from grey market websites wish people in here consider as illegal and that it would be an idiot move to buy from them. So basically you are proving my point that it is no problem to buy from grey sites
Comment has been collapsed.
im not proving anything im just saying kingiun isnt the cheapest site
Comment has been collapsed.
It's often the cheapest at any give time, but it's largely a collection of everyday people who bought the game in a bundle or at a store when it was at it's cheapest price. They then re-sell on there when the sale is over at the other store or even when it is still running if people are unaware of the deal.
If you were to keep a good eye on all the online stores and bundles there's no need for something like Kinguin or G2A most of the time.
There probably are some people on there who have legit connections and are buying keys from wholesalers or publishers directly but they're going to be few and far between. Then there's also some people who have been known to steal keys then sell them on there.
Comment has been collapsed.
Kinguin rate the sellers and of course I won't buy from a low rating seller. I always buy from 99.5% and higher rated seller as for random people selling their keys there, Kinguin have strict rules about it. Even though I don't really care because if a game is not sold by a VERY TRUSTED seller I won't be getting it
Comment has been collapsed.
Have you ever wrote anything else here that wasn't advertisement for Kinguin?

A site that everyone knows well enough to form an opinion on whether to buy or not games from, and yet im sitting here looking at various conversations he had redirecting people to buy gta V, pillars of eternity, mortal kombat, CS...damn on SG he talks about kinguin 24/7

No one would be so adamant about defending one of those gray market sites or conduct themself in the manner that they have here unless they had something directly invested in it. Smells (stinks) like a Kinguin stooge to me.

ok so I bough around 40 games for me and my customers and I saved like 70 euro or so. So if i bought a game for 16 euro and it got revoked I would still be saving 54 euros wish is good enough for me :)

Saved 70 euros on 40 games? Jesus, I save more on two bundles. Heck, you saved more on the last Origin bundle on HumbleBundle. And at least they are not running the risk of being stolen keys, nor giving my money to Russian "businessmen" hiding behind a Polish company.

you know that many of the games sold on origin humble bundle where previously given on the house by origin?

Neither do I, nor I ever had, but not hearing about PSN+ as a player is like saying you never heard about Apple as a telephone user.

Kinguin was great when there were no taxes, now they're crap. There are other shops which do not charge more after you add the game to your cart, they add only 1€ or so for transaction.

I don't pay taxes maybe because I am outside europe or something

You're trying too hard. There are better shops out there. Kinguin sucks. Stop advertising it. Even without a bunch of various hidden taxes the prices are not so great. At least they could show the full prices.

maybe actually read the fuckin thing instead of copypasting your bullshit

well its just further proves why you shouldnt trust those sites

they are perfectly legal, just not authorized from devs.
Nothing in selling game keys is against any law.
But yeah if you want to be safe better buy on official stores, though I bought there too a few times.

your whole idea about how ubisoft couldnt notice it sooner is a bunch of bullshit btw, cause heads up buddy: sometimes it takes time to handle bank fraud, surprising enough
you are basically assuming that they wanted intentionally to screw off people who bought from G2A/insert site name here which is very likely not the case here

I must admit you are right in this. Anyway when buying my keys I always check the highest rated seller on kinguin and that's why I never went into trouble. Of course if a game is 90% cheaper I would be scared to get but if a game is cheaper from a very high rated seller then I would surely get it
Comment has been collapsed.
nop I am just helping people but when people will express their disagreement with me based on something they read I don't know where or based on something done by a company who's interest is to bring Kinguin down then I shall argue with them.

Kinguin is just a reseller, this means they buy games for cheap and sell them for more price to you, most of the games you have in your library you could get them for 1$ from sites like Humble Bundle, and some games where even available for free, except some that could be bought very cheap anyways like Dishonored or Portal 2, the only one that was not that cheap is Rome 2.
This sites has an history is most of cheapest prices for each game and where it was available http://isthereanydeal.com/
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you but most of the games in there are already cheaper on kinguin but people in here helped me by giving me other sites wish also redirect me to gray market so I guess this site you gave me is the most trusted one but well as long as I am not having problems with gray market I won't quit buying from them. Anyway thank you for arguing reasonably and not just shooting some arguments for the sake of arguments
Comment has been collapsed.
arguing with you is pointless....as I said you have no idea about where to buy for cheapest deals...and also as I said stores like Kinguin are resellers, they buy cheaper or get for free, and resell for higher price to ppl in order to make profit....if you know about best deals in time you can get the games cheaper...
Comment has been collapsed.
Hello guys,
I would like to inform you about the site I use to get my games kinguin.net I never had a problem with it (40 games purchased in total) and never had a region lock problem. Their customer support is great and they have a LIVE customer support chat. Plus it seems they have the cheapest deals on the web. Not all the times but 90% of the times u will find the game there cheaper than on any other site.
And they are sponsors of pro teams like Fnatic. So I guess they are pretty much legal!
I would like to know what you guys think of it?
Also here is a coupon code (5% discount to use valid for the next 48 hours): GOTHAM
Edit 1: The code is a code I received via their newsletter so it is not a referral link for me or anything and I can remove it if the admins asked for this! Second I am not advertising anything feel free to check any gaming forum, gift whatever store and u will see that nothing about kinguin is said there. So I guess an advertiser will not advertise on one site only or am I wrong? I am doing this to help the community so maybe we can have more giveaways when people buy cheaper games! To sums things up people believe what they want to believe so please keep your "You are advertising comment" for yourself!
Edit 2: Will not bother answering people with lame comments
Edit 3: To the people that would link me to comparison site like dlcompare most of the sites mentioned there are grey market sites also feel free to check kinguin review in there.
Edit 4: Before commenting check for kinguin reviews and do not only check for the negative review you know every story have 2 sides ;) And unless you have a PERSONAL BAD EXPERIENCE with kinguin I am not bothering arguing with you
Edit 5(PLEASE READ): I know that kinguin is a gray market site, but don't use ubisoft scandal as an argument or any scandal why? Let me tell you something, how in the hell could someone purchase games with fraudulent credit cards from ubisoft or steam or humble bundle websites or official sites without raising an alarm but then suddenly out of no where steam and ubisoft decided that those key are fraud. Da hell they where purchased by you how in the hell are they fraudulent, why in the hell you did not check for this before selling the key? It was a clear move to try and put kinguin and other gray market out of business, to bad since then not a single problem rise and their plant went down the drain.
Edit 6: NO YOU CAN'T JUST PUT YOUR GAME ON SALE ON KINGUIN. THEY NEED A HELL LOT OF INFORMATION BEFORE THEY ALLOW YOU TO SELL GAME THERE. SO THIS TYPE OF ARGUMENT IS INVALID
