Where to get cd keys

Open
Eiinstein

So I'm looking for some cd keys to buy. Pref card games.
I have heard about russian sites / traders etc and I have never tried and dont know where to turn. So Im asking you. Where should I look?
Buy in bulk is a plus but not needed.

Good stores to look at are:
GamersGate
HumbleBundle
IndieGala
GreenManGaming
OpiumPulses
Fanatical

And then some greymarket sites although I would generally not recommend these:
HRK
G2A
Kinguin

Just a general thing to keep in mind when buying on any site is to make sure that the key will be activatable in your region.

Deal and offer search engines:

  • isthereanydeal.com (huge index of current and past game deals)
  • cheapshark.com (same as above)

Legit retailers:

  • greenmangaming
  • gamersgate
  • humblebundle
  • fanatical

Grey area retailers/never tried them:

  • g2a.com (think of it as of game key ebay, look here if you want bulk)
  • cdkeys.com
  • kinguin.com
  • gamesrocket.com (haven't used in a long time)

Hmm thanks for the time you both put down!

But I kinda want to find those sites that have alot of non aaa games. Only for trading cards. Like dailyindiegame is one of them.

You can try Game for keys bots like this one then: https://steamcommunity.com/id/Nivq

The cheapest are probably:
https://plati.ru/ (Russian marketplace; no PayPal, mostly credit card; beware of region locks)
http://cheapkeys.ovh/table.php (Russian key store aggregator; no Paypal, no credit card; beware of region locks)
https://steamground.com/en/wholesale (Russian key store; no PayPal, but credit card)

Then cheap bundle pages like your mentioned DailyIndieGame:
https://www.dogebundle.com/index.php?page=home
https://www.bunchkeys.com/

Grey market:
https://www.allkeyshop.com/blog/ (keyseller price comparison)

Next would be already mentioned bundle sites and official resellers.

If you want them for "free" and have much time, you might want to try LootBoy, KeyJoker and Oy-Vey-Keys.

Most web sites usually don't directly show if a game has trading cards or not. The user script Steam web integration shows which games you already own and provides a symbol for trading cards, if the page contains a Steam store link. Otherwise you have to look up that information yourself.

DIG sometimes has some games which has never bundled before, but it's not Russian

Plati.ru, steamground and key sites indexed by cheapkeys.ovh could be the Russian key site that you came across

besides the ones already named, there's also gamesplanet.com (official seller)

I would not recommend buying from unofficial key-resellers, because you risk to lose your money and your game. This already happened to me on G2A. I'm not saying that this will always happen. I've never had problems with Kinguin for example (but I'm not buying there often, anyways). But it COULD happen ;)
