    Grey market key seller? Yes you can get your key banned and maybe get your account in trouble on whichever platform (Steam, Origin, etc) you use.

    They sell cheap because they get them illegitimately. Leaked press keys, keys bought with stolen credit cards, keys scammed from developers, datamined keys…

    What all of these sources have in common is that the actual developer gets nothing at best, and a chargeback fee at worst. All your money goes to middle men.

    Just pirate instead. It’s more responsible.

    I use them all the time to get games on Xbox. I recommend using Paypal to purchase as I’ve run into issues when using card, but aside from that it’s been pretty smooth. Haven’t gotten any bans or anything like that.

    I’m not familiar with the site, but if it really is a scam as people are saying, we shouldn’t be downvoting the question. We should be getting the word out that they should not be used.

    Yeah, it’s possible. It’s not incredibly likely, though, I’ve bought maybe six or seven games from key sites like that over the years and I’ve not been banned.

    Just keep in mind that if the price is too good to be true it probably is- be really wary of any keys that are below the historical low for whatever game you’re buying.
