They sell invalid keys and do not accept refund request. The support just says it´s my risk. And the conditions are state in the details. I bought an global key but it can not be activated in my country.
Do not buy at this page.
First they made problem with key purchase! They did not want refund even it is as easy as sending a ticket and any game in Early Acces u can refund easly. So clearly PayPal Buyers protection do not work.
Second they scam me on some Gamivo SMART which i didint pick up and after 30 days they took 20 pln from my account without my agreement or knowledge! And i didint agree to any automatic Subscription on my paypal account. Even i show proof paypal just work for gamivo so they deny any partial refunds claim! So screw paypal as well.
The photo says it all, trying to purchase a game that has recently decided to double its price and what I find is that this site is even more scummier.
Got sold a duplicate key and customer service was next to useless.
Managed to get a refund via Paypal. This is the first and last time I will be using these scammers.
After showing them screenshots of my failed activation on Steam. "The Merchant" wanted me to contact Steam direct for the extact Date/Time of said Activation.
On the Steam help page, they said talk to the merchant direct. Again Gamivo is next to useless.
"If you received a duplicate CD key from your retail purchase you will need to contact the retailer who sold you the key. Steam Support cannot issue a replacement CD key. "
And they wonder why I was rude!
When you buy a game from this website you subscribe automatically and without any information "GAMIVO smart". After a month they debit 5€ and told me I can't refund it although I didn't accepted anything of this service. Pay attention and use another website!

Scam. Could be a good website for bulk buying games but they dont even realize that their game sellers are legit the lowest tier's in terms of grading.
Anyways,
I purchased 75 Steam keys with the intention of boosting my "games owned" badge on Steam. However, only 19 out of the 75 keys registered. It would have been more cost-effective to buy the games individually for $0.40 each on the Steam market.
Furthermore, I unexpectedly found myself subscribed to a service I did not register for. I assure you that I have a strong memory and can recall a lot of information. I can guarantee that I never saw a checkbox or clicked on any option that said "get this subscription."
The website is misleading and unreliable.

Been a customer since a year or so and it has been fantastic with GAMIVO. Many promotions, products that you cannot find elsewhere, endless payment options, one of the best customer supports that you can find!
I had an issue with a key and it turned out that I'm just a dumbass and their Support helped me with the problem and I got my money back.
100/100 over experience.

They are selling keys of a game (through Steam) that is abandoned by its developers and currently not even launching any more. After contacting the developers of the game, THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE GAME IS NOT PLAYABLE IN ALL PCs AND THE GAME IS ABANDONED, and so I should ask for a refund. Gamivo support is not giving a refund because the game is still for sale in STEAM. Even though I shared with Gamivo the problem, they still refuse to refund the purchase.
Hello,
Thank you for your review! We are truly sorry to see that the product caused you any kind of dissatisfaction.
Please, note that the developers of the game confirmed that the game is still working. The servers of the game are still up and the game is still available on Steam.
As stated previously, we cannot provide you with a refund, as the purchased product (digital key) worked without any issues and unlocked the correct content on Steam. Therefore, the product was delivered as described.
It would be greatly appreciated if you could change or remove the opinion.
Kind regards,
Karen
I have been using GAMIVO for a few years now (screenshots attached) and I cannot say a bad word about them. Multiple purchases (almost 40 orders completed), no issues whatsoever, keys are delivered very fast and the prices you can find there are absolutely amazing.
I had some questions regarding the website, the products available on their platform and their Customer Support was always happy to help/answer my inquiries, and I didnt have to wait 24-48h like on other websites, their response time is very quick.
I have been reading some bad opinions about them and those are full of bs, people are not using their brains these days and are first to complaint about anything.
I can, with all honesty, highly recommend this platform, 10/10 experience every time.

BS. Don't use. They charge you for a fine print membership that you don't become aware of until you start getting random charges every month. They don't give refunds

Had been a customer for over 1 year with over 10 previous orders. But now was given "on hold" status and I had to tell what I was going to do with my order. I am going to use the key myself. Then my order was cancelled because according to Gamivo, a Visa debit card is unsafe. You may only use ZondaPay and RazerGold, never heard of them. I always use my Visa card without any problems.

FIRST: THEY DON'T SHOW ANYWHERE THAT THEY MIGHT SHOW YOU AN ID
SECOND; OBVIOUSLY YOU DON'T KNOW THAT THEY WON'T DO THAT
THIRD: AFTER THEY DO THAT, YOU DON'T GIVE THEM YOUR ID (BECAUSE IT'S BORDERLINE ILLEGAL), THEN THEY CANCEL THE ORDER AND SAY YOU DIDN'T GIVE THEM THE MONEY

During my sign-up and purchase, I was being cautious but, somehow, I ended up being a subscriber of their $#*!ty service.
Even unsubscribing from this service was not as straightforward as it should be.
This was my first and last time.

Gamivo customer support asked me to verify identity multiple times. Which took pretty long for them to reply back to me. Then they decided to ask me if I was going to resell the product I bought from them because I bought x3 times from them prior. ( keep in mind they told me this isnt prohibited, they dont "mind" if you resell) except I dont know why in their right mind they think I would do this, im already overpaying so much for their giftcards.
I was gifting games to a friend that is currently overseas. Since, if I buy them the game directly or with a regular giftcard, it remains region locked to my country. I explained this to them yet they still decided to cancel my order and of course now I have to wait DAYS to get my refunded money back. Which is absolutely annoying. $103 USD for a $70 GPB giftcard is insane anyways ( and who would even think to resell that $#*!). Never buying from them again.

Answer: Scam. I bought ms Office but the key had already been used, they sent me a new key & it was also used. They are flat out refusing to give me a refund. Terrible! Do not use GAMIVO.com
Answer: The prices are way better then others. And the page works fast. Good reviews online.


Hello,
Thank you for your opinion!
Your concerns are entirely understandable, and we rush to inform you that the final price of the order includes a service fee, which is calculated using various factors and sadly, cannot be included in the product’s initial price.
The required amount and eventual discounts can be seen separately in the checkout.
Best regards,
Karen
