Kinguin Return Policy
Every return window, fee, and holiday extension for Kinguin — pulled from the retailer's own policy page and linked below so you can confirm it yourself.
Kinguin is a third-party marketplace, not the seller of record - if a key doesn't activate, the individual seller (not Kinguin itself) is on the hook to make it right, so keep the game platform's error message as proof when you file a claim.

About Kinguin
Game key marketplaces live and die on trust, and Kinguin is one of the bigger ones for buying cheaper Steam, Xbox, and PC game codes from third-party sellers rather than full retail price. It's not Kinguin selling you the game directly - it's a matchmaking platform between individual sellers and buyers, with Kinguin handling payment and dispute resolution. Prices can undercut official storefronts significantly, especially on older titles, but you're trusting a marketplace seller's inventory rather than a publisher.
Once you reveal a key, you've effectively used up your right to a refund, since there's no way to prove after the fact whether it's been redeemed.
