I received a bad $25 Razer Gold Pin and immediately reported it to support, I have given all the necessary information that has been asked for, I last received a reply after following up on the 6th of October telling me the vendor needed more time, it's now the 14th and I still haven't received a resolution. I would caution anyone considering buying here.

I tried to order an MS Office key from them and after a week long process of trying to get the key to work and their support staff being woefully unhelpful I asked for a refund and after supplying them with all the information they asked for I still wasn't granted one. Literally the worst website I have ever used. Never ever ever ever buy from them.

Used the site a few times to buy steam credit and a couple of games. Without my knowledge, I was opted into and charged for Gamivo Smart. Gamivo Smart is a useless service that charges you a monthly fee to get very small discounts off games. I never used it and never signed up to it. Gamivo automatically opt you into this rubbish upon purchase and then fail to remind you that you're a signed up to it. When I realised and despite never once using it, they refused to give me a refund. Avoid this company like the plague, they don't like admitting they're wrong. CDKey is better.

GAMIVO has hidden auto-subscription's to their "SMART" service which is essentially a 10% discount promo code for select trash games. I wake up to see $5 taken away from me for no reason, then I see my card details stored on their site and auto subscribed.

I complain to their staff who literally don't care at all, they proceed to say they can't refund me. So, I've essentially been scammed as I didn't have reasonable foresight as a consumer about the SMART subscription being added for a $13 game. In many countries, this sort of behaviour is illegal.

You might think; "it says SMART is a subscription on their site for a few dollars..." but it doesn't tell you that you've been subscribed to essentially pay for... nothing.

Don't trust the positive reviews, they are likely affiliated with GAMIVO, you can see negative reviews on reddit about the same issue. The good thing is if you are persistent in going through their BS, you can get your account deleted.

Companies that try and squeeze a few secret dollars out of customers without their consent DO NOT deserve to exist.

Scammers

They hide subscription fees in everything you buy. Tricking you into paying for many months Worth of subscription. If you ask for a refund, They shut you out and provide generic robot answers. Customer support is also incredibly unprofessional and does not adress the issue you are having. Don't give these rats any of your money. Go somewhere legit instead.

Best Price around
September 26, 2020

I searched for a few games on multiple sites and found this to be the best value. After a quick cart add and payment process I received the key to enter into Steam and the game was downloading. Very fast and convenient

Came to this site because it was cheaper than g2a and accepted cryptocurrency as payment. No issues with the purchase and was very fast.

Had what I wanted
September 22, 2020

Glad I can find the same games for cheaper than what Steam is asking for. Not sure if this site is 100% legal, read sites like this don't use 100% legal keys but whatever, games are over priced anyways. Price hasn't changed for new games in 30+ years.
