How each platform protects account buyers

G2G: GamerProtect and a 14-day account window

G2G's buyer protection is called GamerProtect. Your payment is held by G2G, the seller delivers, and the money is released only after you confirm receipt. For game accounts, G2G's help centre describes a 14-day insurance period that starts when the order is marked as delivered, for access or ownership problems you report with evidence. It does not cover buyer's remorse, deals made outside G2G, or changes a game publisher makes after delivery. Our G2G safety review covers how to buy there step by step.

Eldorado.gg: TradeShield with category-based warranties

Eldorado's TradeShield holds your payment until the order is complete. You get three days to review a delivered order, and after you mark it as received a warranty applies whose length depends on the product type. At the time of writing, Eldorado's help centre lists 5 days for most accounts and 10 days for Fortnite, GTA 5 and Rainbow Six Siege accounts. Check the warranty shown on each listing before you pay. If you are weighing other options, see our list of Eldorado.gg alternatives.

BuyAccount: escrow checkout and 14-day buyer protection

On BuyAccount, every listing shows its details before you buy, your payment is held in escrow until you confirm delivery or the 14-day escrow period ends, and the seller sends the login details with full email access in your order thread. Our 14-day buyer protection covers seller recovery attempts, listing mismatches such as missing email access, failed delivery and fraudulent accounts. Checkout takes card or crypto. The full flow is on how it works.

Where each platform fits best

• Widest choice across many games: G2G. Its catalogue covers far more games and product types than an accounts-only marketplace, which helps for less common titles and regions. In exchange, you do more of the seller vetting yourself.
• A multi-game marketplace with detailed warranty rules: Eldorado.gg. TradeShield's windows are published per category, so you know how long an account is covered before you buy.
• League of Legends, Valorant or Fortnite with full email access on every account: BuyAccount. A narrower catalogue, but every listing shows its details before you buy and every order carries the same 14-day protection. Browse League of Legends, Valorant or Fortnite accounts.

Where we are weaker: as a newer, accounts-only marketplace we cover fewer games and regions and carry less rare, high-end inventory than the two larger platforms. If you need a niche region or a game we don't sell, G2G or Eldorado will give you more to choose from.

What matters more than the platform

The platform decides how your payment is protected; your own steps decide whether the account stays yours. On any of the three:

1. Keep payment and chat on the platform. Off-platform deals lose escrow and protection on all three.
2. Buy listings with full email access. The original email is what a seller would use to take an account back.
3. Check the account before you confirm receipt, and change the email, password and 2FA straight away.
4. Know your protection window and report any problem inside it, with screenshots.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is G2G or Eldorado safer for buying a game account?

Both hold your payment until the order completes. The practical difference for accounts is the cover after delivery: G2G describes a 14-day insurance period for accounts, while Eldorado applies a category-based warranty (5 days for most accounts and 10 for Fortnite and GTA 5, at the time of writing). On either platform, the seller you pick and full email access matter more than the brand.

Which one has the most accounts for sale?

G2G and Eldorado are much larger multi-game marketplaces, so they list far more games and regions. BuyAccount focuses on League of Legends, Valorant and Fortnite. Listing numbers change daily, so we don't quote figures.

What does BuyAccount's buyer protection cover?

Seller recovery attempts, listing mismatches (for example a wrong rank, missing skins or no email access), failed delivery and fraudulent accounts, reported within 14 days. It does not cover bans caused by your own conduct after the purchase, or a change of mind. The full terms are on our buyer protection page.

Can I pay a G2G or Eldorado seller directly to save on fees?

You shouldn't. Payments made outside the platform aren't covered by GamerProtect or TradeShield, and a request to move off-platform is one of the most common scam patterns.
