Understanding store types
Not all stores work the same way. Here's how we classify the retailers on DealsHub, and what each type means for you as a buyer.
Official Retailers
Safest100% safe. Keys sourced directly from publishers.
- Keys come straight from the game publisher or platform holder
- Fully authorized distribution, zero risk of revocation
- Includes stores like Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, Humble Bundle, and Fanatical
- Purchases are covered by the store's official refund policy
Independent Stores
ReliableReliable direct sellers. Sourced from various regions.
- Established businesses that purchase and resell game keys
- Keys are sourced from authorized distributors, bundles, or regional pricing
- Prices are often significantly lower than official stores
- We verify every independent store's reputation before listing them
Marketplaces
Check sellerCommunity platform. Check individual seller ratings.
- Platforms where individual sellers list keys for sale
- Prices can be the lowest, but quality depends on the seller
- Always check the individual seller's rating and review count
- Most marketplaces offer buyer protection, verify before purchasing
