Scam Tactics
Fanatical keeps baiting people with so‑called free key giveaways, but the moment you try to redeem, the games vanish from your cart.
I tested this across hundreds of titles — every single time I hit ‘Proceed to Checkout,’ the items are wiped and I walk away with nothing.
If that isn’t a scam, then what is?

Hey there,
I’m sorry you’re struggling to collect this giveaway. The issue is that the giveaway is being blocked for your account.
This can happen if your country is excluded from the promotion; the eligible regions are listed here: Promotions Summary – Terms and Conditions (https://support.fanatical.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018002197-Promotions-Summary-Terms-and-Conditions). It can also occur if you’ve changed your IP address several times or if you’re using a VPN.
To look into your account and see if anything can be adjusted, please reach out to our Customer Support team directly so we can help you further.
If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to reach out.

Fanatical is awesome!
I like it how Fanatical offers build your own bundles where you can choose which games you want as part of a bundle and pay less if you decide to add more games.
They even have discounts for individual games as well, which is a good thing and they also have other stuff available as well. I tried it out for the first time and I was very happy with the end result.
I highly recommend purchasing games at Fanatical because they have some very good discounts for very good games and the bundles they offer. 100% worth it!

Solid as always
It's always a great experience with Fanatical. I've never had any problems and I doubt I ever will. I've gotten roughly 200 keys from them, no issues.

False promotions
False promotions. Went for a 'free key', but have to pay $ 4.40 to get it. It doesn't go straight to the checkout page, but bothers you with first a 'mystery deal' and then 4 other games. If you don't choose anything, then your cart is emptied. Very bad business practices, which make me not to buy any games from them at all.

If your cart is automatically emptying when trying to collect a free giveaway game then it could be that you're using a VPN which is blocked.
I am sorry you had to pay money to collect a free game, this isn't what we intended during the process. Unfortunately I don't see an email address or Order ID attached to this review so please let me know either of this, or open a support a ticket with us so we can look into this and refund the money you've paid for the giveaway.
I hope this helps

I went to this website to claim a free key for a Steam game. The website claimed that the product can be activated in my region, but after creating the account and linking my Steam account, it stated that the product cannot be activated in my region.

I'm really sorry the free game didn't work. We see these are global region free keys so I recommend you open a support ticket with us so we can see why this hasn't worked.

Petty as hell
Petty as hell. Even as a Fandom’s company, this store does not seem to have any bargaining power. Its discounts are not as good, or often worst than Steam or the publisher’s price. It seems like a website for stealing personal information only. Not coming back.
