*** PC Gaming - Daily Deals Thread ***

Their website says they have been around since 2005.

They must have changed their name as I have never heard of them yet I have an account !
 
There are so many of these sites around.. just check the listings on dlcompare.com for example. I've never encountered any problems with the shops I've used yet others have so it can be a dice roll...

Instant gaming could have warned before payment that they are wanting a photo ID- it's not going to happen from me.:(

Garbage, and probably another chase up to get a refund no doubt.

if you paid with a paypal verified account, contact customer support and argue the case stating you don't believe you should be handing your ID over to a company you do not know. I had to do this with 2 CDKEY sites in recent months, when I argued the case of a paypal verified account they crumbled and gave me my keys and have not had problems from them since.

I had this - There is a button on your account page listing orders placed that allows you to request a refund is you don't agree with the ID request (I don't so I used it ) . This stops the paypal payment.

I tried using them to buy an additional copy of Dying Light and the payment card details were rejected. I tried again with Paypal and that too was rejected. As the debit card used is the same as the Paypal card I didn't realise that my bank had placed a block on that transaction. I needed to ring the bank to get my card unblocked, once I figured out what happened.
Yorkshire bank told me that it was there fraud dept which placed the block when dealing with that site, not sure why though.

I will not use them again, too many others are similar in price - but work well.

We're really, really sorry, but your payment has been blocked by our... ahem... "security system". Really sorry.

But don't worry! All you need to complete your purchase is to give us confirm your identity.

Please send us a passport photo, the numbers of your bank card, the numbers of your bank account, your social security ID, house number, blood type, your passport (not a photocopy!!), and a stool sample.

Then you'll totally get what's coming to you. I mean, your game. Obviously that's what I meant.

i actually phoned my bank and told them to remove the block so i can pay them....only for them to spring that crap on me about photo id
 
Why are people still using these not-entirely-legitimate CD key websites? As if there hasn't been enough negative press about them lately to tell you that something's not quite right about how they conduct their business.
 
My first experience of them was on Sunday, when I tried to purchase a key from G2A. Still waiting for the key.

Well stick to Steam sales from now on.
 
Only issue i've ever had with a CD key site was when I brought a game while in Florida, as it was from a US IP address (and US price) but my details were from UK they asked for proof of address.

Advised them I was on holiday and they just asked for a receipt for a store from that day with my name on it. Sent that and they sent the key istantly :)

I've purchased around 8 games from G2A and received my key within 5 minutes.

Just goes to show!

About to go there now and purchase Sniper Elite 3 - Any good people?
