Was a bit skeptical about buying from gamersgate, but took a chance as the product I was after was cheaper by 50% compared to other services. After setting up and paying for my product, I immediately... See more

Enjoy this great store.

I've made several purchases with GamersGate and never had any problems. Recently, I made the wrong purchase of a game and revealed the product key, but they understood and refunded me, even though it was my mistake. I highly recommend buying from GG, the way they treat their customers is incredible.

RATING 1000.

Worked for me

So, I understood from the reviews that it is a bit of a gamble to go with them. But a 74% discount was worth the roll of the dice for me.

Payment was simple, it did then take about 15 min for them to give me the game code.

Nervy 15 min, but delivered and worked and I have access to the game.

Little weird to have to wait after payment, but the product was delivered, they sent me an email after the purchase with login details in case I needed them, that they had generated. This seems to deal with some of the other feedback I read about account lock out.

So, all good, nothing to complain about really.

Scammed during the purchase step

Gamersgate allowed me to make a purchase without creating an account, then refused to send me a password (or let me reset my password) to create an account with that email... which they then required for me to access my purchase. Effectively they took my money then refused to give me my product. Steer clear - no "sale" is worth it if you don't get what you paid for.

Blocked for manual review

Blocked for manual review, after money was taken and verified by the bank. Noted to take up to 24 hours. I will never use this website again to purchase a digital game because of this outdated, and ineffective practice, and will actively encourage others to go elsewhere.

Attempted to contact support, which also quotes an up to 24-hour waiting time.

Refuses to release game key - complete trash.

Bought a £12 title. Purchase got flagged for "Manual Review" - waited 4 hours, heard nothing. Cancelled the purchase via paypal and received a refund. It's a digital product, purchased via PayPal. There is no need to manually review, especially after the website had taken the money straight away. Avoid this website.

Game Held Hostage

"Your order has been selected for manual review."
The money is paid for immediately but the product I purchased still hasn't been given to me. 8hrs have passed.

Would not of bought this game on GamersGate had I known I wouldn't be given it pretty much immediately such as Steam, or GoG does.

The "up to" 24hr period wait is garbage. Steam, nor GoG does this.
It's a game key, not a physical copy bought from a store being delivered to me through mail.

Manual review for £ 1.08 order

Bought a game for £1.08 and my order "has been selected for manual review". "Manual review might take up to a 24 hours ".

If I knew that I will have to wait 24h, I would not buy from them. What will be they reviewing?

Scammers!

Lowest price, normal transaction.

Lowest price, normal transaction.

I was alerted to a low price by IsThereAnyDeal, so I purchased 2 DLC for a niche simulator. I paid with PayPal and the keys and order confirmation emails were received in seconds.

Placed under "Manual Review" for a digital game

There is no excuse in 2019 for the purchase of a digital game not to be instant. Do not trust this store, they took my money (on a $50 order), then notified me I was under "manual review" before I could receive my game codes. This is not acceptable. Do not buy from them.
