I used CDKeys with their 5% Facebook discount to get Watchdogs a while ago without any problems. Just looking to get my daughter Sims 3: Supernatural but they were out of stock so I tried Instant Gaming and they were very quick. I had to provide a phone number due to using Paypal and it just rang through a four digit security code. No gripes, not expecting to get spam calls (any more than usual, thanks to the insurance industry).
Trusted CD Key Sites.

Used GK4U for a Torchlight 2 key.
Took about twenty minutes to arrive after payment.
It was a Steam gift rather than a key, but worked fine.
I'd probably use them again if I needed a game that I knew had been on Steam sale for cheap and missed it.

Just bought Borderlands 2:GOTY and Divinity Original Sin from G2Play. Saved me about £45 and both in my Steam account within ~10 mins (key for BL2 and Steam Gift for Divinity).
I used CJS Keys twice. The first time I got the key no problem.
The second time I was having trouble logging in because of the captcha I think and I requested new passwords which took a long time to reset and I still had trouble getting in. I made a new account with a different email address to my paypal account so the site required verification by phone which didn't work. I couldn't get my key so I requested a refund which took a week and I lost £1.
If you use a different email to your paypal then make sure the phone number you give is correct including +44(7****) not +44)07**etc).
I would still recommend but maybe not if you absolutely have to have it on release day.
Ended up getting the game £1 cheaper from SimplyCDKeys received the key in about 10 minutes.

I've used CJS CD Keys for the last two years - and provided that everything goes well, they're fine. Heaven help you if something goes wrong, though - they have the worst customer service I've ever encountered - and considering I used to work for the watchdog in the energy industry, that's quite some achievement.
Nearly three weeks ago I ordered a game key (Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition - I wanted to start the entire series over and then play Inquisition). They sent me a used key, I complained (providing them with a screenshot of my library and the discussion with Origin who told me the key had been used prior to the date I bought it on), they replied promising to resolve it soon, then they closed my complaint two days later. So I opened it again, they said they'd resolve it soon (saying their supplier was at fault), closed it two days later....repeat three more times and now I'm trying to claim a refund through PayPal.
They're pathetic. They have no concept of taking responsibility for their own sales and just try and fob you off. You're better off spending your money elsewhere.

I've used g2a to buy about 35-40 games. I've only had a problem once, the first time I used them the key took a day to get delivered (after talking to them online). It really put me off. After a while I started to use them again and they've been fantastic ever since. Keys are always delivered within five minutes.
Once my order seemed to be stuck processing, but I checked my account orders and the key was there waiting for me. Another time I got the phone number verification message, after googling to see if this was a scam I went back to the page and my order had gone through anyway. I've heard stories of keys being revoked from Steam but I don't actually know anyone it's happened to, I'm quite happy to keep using them...I always pay with Paypal. I still wouldn't trust any of these sites with card details.
To cut a long story short using G2A is like having a Steam sale every day, I couldn't recommend them enough. I'd still try to keeps your wits about you....you never know.

Been using them a while but with the recent ubi revoking keys fiasco, thought I had only lost FC4 Season Pass, but went to try out ACU and it's done one too.
Contacted G2a, and after about 4 mins, got a reply asking for proof from ubi that the key has been revoked, which I done, now after a further 2 tickets, and 5 days after initial reply I'm getting ignored.
Going to have to go through the same again now with ACU.
Not be using g2a again in a hurry but more importantly won't be paying for another ubi title either, classic ubi shooting themselves in the foot.
Had major problems with cjs keys, first it took 14 days to get my farcry 4 game working they had to give me a replacement key. Then after 2 to 3 weeks using the game my key was banned by ubisoft as they said it had been obtained fraudulently.
As i was totally engrossed in the game i bought it again from a reputable dealer and am still waiting for a refund.
Ubisoft also told me
"CJSKeys is not a supporter partner of Ubisoft and were never sent keys to sell.
This means that the codes they are selling were not provided to them by ourselves and so they have acquired them by other means.
I would advised you to ask for a full refund."

CD CJS keys. If it goes well......its goes well, but like what Pookie said, if anything goes wrong expect headache after headache after headache.
When I had an issue with one of their keys, they wanted me to sort it out with the supplier and not them.
It was only when I threatened a paypal refund that the ball started rolling.
And yes....the company was set up by a spotty teenager.

GameKeysNow is normally my go to site , I've picked up more than half a dozen games on here now and always had the key sent through straight away, and normally at a decent discount.
They seem very upfront about how they conduct business, which is good, I wouldn't touch the likes of G2A with a 10ft barge pole, I know some say they've never had a problem with them but just not for me.

I've been hearing about this in the media a lot in the past few weeks. I've been wondering about this. People say (It's always people.....who are these people) G2A sellers get their keys from regions that have lower prices then sell them on. When I've ever bought keys they state which region they are for (Europe for me).
What I'm wondering is did you buy a key for a region you didn't live in? I know the ones they say were revoked were bought with stolen credentials. Which is the whole reason for looking at the sellers ratings.
My games are still O.K anyways. How did you get on with your ticket to G2A?
my limited experience
I don't normally use these sites as never know if they are legit or if the keys will come or have issues but as the prices are so much cheaper the temptation is become more.
I have only used this site
http://www.simplycdkeys.com/
I used it for plants vs zombies Garden Warfare and had no issues at all, had the key e mailed to me, installed origin and then entered the key and downloaded the game. this was over a year ago now and the game still works fine.

A month or so ago Ubisoft deleted a bunch of keys that were sold using sellers like G2A, it wasn't just G2A that was effected by this. Ubisoft later turned around and gave the keys back after everyone had a massive uproar.
G2A also have that stupid premium thing, you may like 70p extra to 'guarantee a working key'...no, by me paying for the item I should be guaranteed a working key.

CJS Keys -1
Had a incident involving my steam account having attempts to get into it using CD keys that are in my account. When i questioned steam about what CD keys these were every one had been bought from CJS.
Don't trust anymore.
