SCAM SCAM THEY USE STOLEN CREDIT CARDS
July 13, 2023

I paid for several games and now some got removed due to payment issues with steam. I paid fully and the seller used a stolen credit card to buy the code and then sell to me. After i got the code for a few days the original credit card desputed the charges and steam removed my game. I wad unable to get a refund.

G2A does not help its customers that are sold keygen or illegal keys by sellers. Creating a ticket and having them help you revolves around you sending in a ticket and waiting 72 hrs for a response and each time there is another task you have to complete to string you along. They do not care about the customer or have any remorse for the scams that they and their sellers are running. G2A requested that I contact the software developer to confirm that the key was illegitimate (which it was) and then send a screen shot to them. Then G2A would not process my ticket unless I made a police report or it would be rejected. Absolutely disgusting how there is literally no customer support.

G2A is a legit platform for scammers
July 6, 2023

So, the prices on G2A are amazing, and sometimes too good to be true. The sellers steal credit card details, and purchase games on gaming accounts. They resell these accounts on G2A, and you then purchase products obtained through credit card theft. A current example is the seller 'VIKINGBROTHERS' who operate this way. Anything you purchase will be refunded when the credit card theft victim's bank reverses the transactions (as is they have the right to). There may be some legitimate resellers who try to expand their operations on the G2A platform, but they are in the absolute minority. Furthermore, G2A has a lot of fine print, and they take no responsibility for the elicit criminal resale on their platform. Steer clear and avoid getting burnt.

It's a $#*!ty website, works horribly and they don't take responsibility for anything, if you get scammed it's your fault, you have to chat with the scammer to try to get a refund wich never is gonna happen.

Key didn't work
June 15, 2023

Went through paypal. Key didn't work, asked for new key or refund. Created a couple of "conversations", even messaged on FaceBook. The "seller" never replied or gave an answer. Paypal refunded after I complained.

Fraudolent transactions
June 13, 2023

They use your cards saved on you goggle account to take your money. I lost around 100 euros with 5 transactions in 1 day. I immediately blocked my card but the 100 euros are gone. When I wrote to them they blocked the account because they wanted to hide my review on their site. Please don't buy from that site

June 12, 2023

I read a lot of bad reviews on here that really surprised me. I have had no issues using the site. I tend to stick to sellers with good ratings however. I'd recommend it it's cheap.

SCAM ARTISTS! Go elsewhere!
May 16, 2023

I bought a digital code for my Xbox and it was the game Elden ring. Not only did I not get the right code, but it was for an adventure guide for the game, which was not in the title of the product when I bought it. I have contacted the seller and I have contacted the site and nobody has responded back, so save your money and go elsewhere, this place is a scam!

$#*!ing bull$#*!
March 20, 2023

They pretend to have a steam key behind a pass wall but it ends up being a link to a website trying to get you to take someone elses steam account or add yourself as a "family member". Scam artist $#*!s keep trying to steal your money even after you call them out on their bull$#*!

G2A Steam Account Selling Scam
March 18, 2023

Absolutely awful experience. G2A is a total scam. They're allowing Steam accounts to be sold (probably stolen). Not only is this viciously unethical but it's also completely against Steam's Terms and Conditions. You aren't buying the game to add to your Steam library like other (actual legitimate) key suppliers. I contacted G2A and despite me providing them with excerpts from Steam's terms and conditions as well as their own terms of service, they still refuse to refund my money. Steam says the sold accounts WILL get deactivated. Steam also says the original account creator will ALWAYS be able to recover their account, yes, even if the email, password, or phone number on the account are changed. Meaning the seller (or whoever they stole the account from) can commandeer the account at any time. Meaning I purchased something from someone that a.) doesn't belong to them in the first place and is not theirs to sell and b.) I can't even keep. I have screenshots of all conversations if anyone wants the "receipts" to my claim.

Do yourself a favor and don't risk your money on G2A. It's an absolute scam.

G2A.com is a best site for buying gift card I may say. I successfully bought a gift card from this site and it was delivered immediately. I would have given them a 5-star but the site is too sensitive and sometimes don't take $#*! from anyone

DO NOT USE THIS SITE!
February 27, 2023

G2a used to be good, but now it's filled with scammers. G2a is happy to take their cut and will NOT help the customer in any way. They literally ALLOW people to scam you and they offer no support at all. Even when it's obvious the scammers are breaking the law.

NEVER USE THIS SITE! EVER!

Selling steam accounts
February 11, 2023

Was trying to buy a CD key for a game on Steam for a friend. Instead I ended up buying a whole steam account with that one game. I didn't even redeem the account and tried to explain that was not what I intended to buy and also that buying a Steam account like this is illegal according to Steam and they can get the account suspended. They didn't care about it, obviously as they sell those things and I wasnt able to get any kind of refund.

Avoid Siastore on G2A. It's a scam!
December 31, 2022

I bought a Global Steam Code for Forza 4 on G2A from a seller Siastore. Rather than a code I received an url to a Chinese website with a temporary login and password. I was supposed to log in to this account to generate a Steam code but I would have to log in to the Steam account provided in the message to make it work. I have never seen more dodgy method. G2A Refund policy states that you can get the money back only with if the seller agrees which obviously not going to happen. I will never use G2A again.
