How BuyAccount Works

An escrow-backed marketplace for buying and selling League of Legends, Valorant, and Fortnite accounts. Here is the full flow — what happens from the moment you place an order, what the 14-day buyer protection covers, and how the login details reach you.

For Buyers — 4 Steps

  1. Browse & Filter

    Pick game, region, rank tier, level, skin count and Blue Essence. Every listing shows the account's details before you buy, and the 14-day buyer protection covers an account that doesn't match its listing.
  2. Pay Securely

    Card through Stripe, crypto through Cryptomus, or your wallet balance. Your payment is held in escrow for 14 days, or until you confirm the order earlier, and can be refunded to you until it is released.
  3. Receive Credentials

    The seller sends the account login and recovery-email details by hand in your order's message thread on BuyAccount, within the delivery time shown on the listing.
  4. Verify & Secure

    Log in, change the password and email, enable 2FA. If anything doesn't match the listing, request a refund in My Orders within 14 days of delivery — every order includes the 14-day warranty.

For Sellers — 5 Steps

  1. Apply

    Submit your seller application. Our team reviews every application by hand.
  2. List Accounts

    Approved sellers add each account with its details, such as level, rank and skins.
  3. Order Notification

    When a buyer pays, a system notice opens the order thread. You send the login details by hand in that thread. The payment stays in escrow until the buyer confirms receipt or the hold period ends.
  4. Withdraw Earnings

    Earnings are released after the 14-day escrow hold, or earlier when the buyer confirms the order.
  5. Maintain Reputation

    Buyers can leave a review after a completed order.

How BuyAccount Protects Your Order

  • Escrow Funds

    Your payment is held in escrow until you confirm receipt or the hold period ends.
  • Reviewed Seller Applications

    Every seller application is reviewed by hand by our team before approval.
  • 14-Day Protection

    Account doesn't match the listing, or recovered through the seller's fault? Within 14 days you get a full refund or a replacement.
  • Delivery in Messages

    Login details are sent in your order thread on BuyAccount, never via Discord or email, and every page is served over HTTPS.
  • Dispute Handling

    Open a dispute from My Orders with your evidence; it is handled under the 14-day buyer protection.
  • Listing Details

    Every listing shows the account's region, level, rank, skins and price before you buy.

What Happens If Something Goes Wrong?

  • Buyer's account got recovered by the seller

    Recovery is a common worry when buying a gaming account. On BuyAccount: if the account is recovered within 14 days of delivery through no fault of yours, request a refund in My Orders and describe what happened — under the 14-day warranty we replace the account or refund you.
  • Listing doesn't match (missing skins, wrong rank, different level)

    Open a dispute in My Orders within 14 days. Attach screenshots showing the discrepancy; we compare them with the original listing.
  • Riot bans the account after purchase

    Riot's terms do not allow account trading. If the account is banned within 14 days of delivery for violations from before the sale, the 14-day buyer protection gives you a full refund or a replacement. Change the email and password right after delivery and turn on 2FA.

FAQ — Quick Answers

For the full list see our dedicated FAQ page. The most common:
  • How long until I get my account? Each listing shows its delivery time; the login details arrive in your order thread.
  • Can I pay with crypto? Yes — BTC, ETH, USDT (TRC20 and ERC20).
  • Do you offer refunds? Yes — every order includes a 14-day warranty covering listing mismatches and accounts recovered through no fault of yours.
  • What's the difference between hand-leveled and botted? Hand-leveled accounts are played by a real person; botted accounts are levelled by scripts. The Hand-Leveled smurf page shows accounts listed as hand-leveled.
  • Is buying accounts against Riot's ToS? Yes — Riot's terms do not allow account trading. Riot's systems act on how an account is played (cheats, scripts, bots and boosting), not on a change of owner. See our in-depth analysis.
