Hi all I'm new to steam and pc gaming and just wondered if I'm ok to use the above sites for steam game keys?

Are they legit keys and will I get in trouble with steam?

Any advice would be great, thanks.
 
Occasionally, people have problems where a seller is hawking moody keys - will just be that Steam removes the game from your library. It's not overly common though.

You make a big enough saving on each transaction that the odd loss would still see you in profit.
 
Don't know about the first one but I have used cdkeys.com a few times with no issues.

Some key sites are dodgy, but the mainstream sites like cdkeys.com and GMG etc all seem to be legit.
 
CDkeys.com seem really good. They answer emails within hours, if not minutes. I have used them a few times now and all has been well.
 
You will find steam CD keys much cheaper on ebay, the advertised price on G2A excludes VAT and some other charges. Dead Rising 3 is around £13 on there I believe but it's actually £19 when you go to checkout. I ended up getting it for £12 on ebay...
 
I've used Kinguin and G2Play plenty of times and have never had an issue.

I use G2Play now as the price shown is the price paid, there is no VAT charge at the checkout or anything. I think it's just +30p to use paypal.

Even if you get one bad code, the money saved over the long run would cover it.
 
Like others i have bought loads of games from CdKeys and never had an issue with any of them:)

Just ordered The Phantom Pain the other day from them actually.

I'm pretty sure GMG is an authorised reseller, as opposed to sites like Kinguin which are technically not supposed to be selling the keys.
 
Used CDKeys recently and they even gave a refund for Arkham Knight so i wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
 
Used them myself and 0 issues however not too long ago there was a batch of keys that were acquired illegally and got blocked on steam.
 
Used CJSKeys before for Fifa 15 i think it was, ages ago. Also used G2a the other day for another copy fo CSGO and both have been fine.
Also used Nuuvem for Cities Skylines without any issues but had to use a VPN to checkout (Brazilian only) so i could buy it super cheap :)
 
I use the sellers on Kinguin all the time with no issues, last time was Mad Max with ripper dlc for 13 quid. use Allkeyshop3 code for another 3% off
 
i also use CDkeys a lot not had a single problem with them, cant vouch for the others though.

They are also really good for xbox live membership 6+1 months for £13.99, whereas most places are about £15 for 3 months, code was instant too.

Actually, it happens more often than you think.

This is a really big problem particularly on Origin which is constantly banning moody keys, and some of the biggest sellers on grey marketplaces get keys in bulk through credit card fraud, etc.
