- G2G, Eldorado, GameBoost, U7BUY and PlayerAuctions are marketplaces: independent sellers list accounts, and the platform holds payment and settles disputes.
- Longest free cover: G2G, GameBoost and U7BUY, 14 days each. Eldorado gives 5 days on most accounts (10 on Fortnite and R6, 14 on GTA 5). On PlayerAuctions free cover exists only if the seller offers it (7, 14 or 30 days).
- Lifetime cover: GameBoost sells it for +15% of the account price. METAMMO includes it with every account, but only against recovery.
- Eldorado vs G2G: G2G gives longer free cover (14 days vs 5). Eldorado has a public 24/7 live chat, sells 3- or 6-month cover on some offers, and states that its cover includes bans caused by the transfer.
- The short window: on most platforms you have about 72 hours (Eldorado: 3 days) after delivery to raise a problem.
"Most reliable" comes down to four things: how long you are covered, what the cover pays for, who settles a dispute and how fast you can reach them. Every claim below links to the platform's own help or legal page, checked on 6 October 2026.
Marketplace or direct seller
A marketplace (G2G, Eldorado, GameBoost, U7BUY, PlayerAuctions) hosts many sellers. It holds your payment in escrow, then mediates if something goes wrong. Its rules protect you, but the seller is a stranger whose record you check on the platform.
A direct seller (METAMMO) sells its own stock. There is no escrow layer, so the written warranty and a track record you can check elsewhere are what protect you.

G2G
G2G calls itself a marketplace, not a seller. GamerProtect is escrow, and G2G says plainly it is not a product guarantee. Accounts carry 14 days of insurance; one help page counts it from "Delivered", the refund policy from order confirmation. G2G does not extend cover past 14 days, even if a seller promises more. Refunds can go to store credit or back to the original payment method.
Eldorado.gg
Eldorado gives you 3 days after delivery to check the account, then 5 days of cover on most games. Like U7BUY, it lists bans caused by the transfer itself among covered cases; buyer-caused bans are excluded. Refunds go to your Eldorado balance unless you ask support for the original payment method. Support is a 24/7 human live chat.
GameBoost
GameBoost includes 14 days and sells a lifetime warranty for 15% of the account price, handled by GameBoost rather than the seller. A ban or compromise that is not your fault is paid as store credit for the full amount; a refund to card is available on request. Do not use or change the account while a dispute is open.
U7BUY
U7BUY sets a minimum 14-day account warranty that covers recovery by the seller and bans caused by the transfer. Its trade protection page gives 72 hours to claim after shipping, while accounts auto-confirm after 14 days; the help pages do not explain how the two interact, so raise any problem early.
PlayerAuctions
On PlayerAuctions free cover depends on the seller: 7, 14 or 30 days, with the seller's payout held meanwhile. You can buy extra After-Sale Protection at checkout. Refunds return to your original payment method. There is no live chat; support works through tickets.
METAMMO: a direct seller
We sell our own stock. Every account is checked by hand, and you can tell us what you want so we help you pick the right account. Delivery is usually within a few hours, at most 24, and you can cancel for any reason before delivery.
The warranty is lifetime and covers one thing: recovery by the previous owner. You get a refund or a replacement, with confirmed claims settled within 48 hours. Publisher bans are not covered. What you give up is third-party escrow, so check our public record on G2G, Eldorado and GameBoost.
The risk no platform removes
Publishers forbid account trading: Blizzard's EULA, Riot's Terms of Service and Epic's Terms all bar it. A warranty protects your money, not the account. Some marketplaces pay out for bans within their short window; nobody can stop a publisher acting.
How to choose
- Read what the cover pays for. Recovery only, or bans too, and for how long.
- Check where refunds go. Several platforms refund to store credit by default.
- Use the first 72 hours. Log in, secure the account and check the inventory straight away.
- Insist on the email. Without the linked email the seller can recover the account on any platform.
- Check the seller, not just the platform. Ratings, order history and time on the platform.
Frequently asked questions
Is Eldorado more trusted than G2G?
Neither is clearly ahead; they protect you differently. G2G gives 14 days of free account cover; Eldorado gives 5 on most games but lists bans caused by the transfer as covered, sells 3- or 6-month cover on some offers and runs a 24/7 live chat. Both verify seller ID. Checked 6 October 2026.
Eldorado vs G2G: which is better for buying an account?
For the longest free cover, G2G (14 days vs Eldorado's 5 on most games). For ban cover tied to the transfer and live chat support, Eldorado. On both, check the individual seller's rating and order history before you buy.
Which account marketplace gives the longest warranty?
Free cover: G2G, GameBoost and U7BUY, 14 days each. Paid: GameBoost sells lifetime cover for 15% of the price. METAMMO, a direct seller, includes a lifetime warranty against recovery with every account; it does not cover bans.
How long do I have to report a problem with a bought account?
About 72 hours after delivery on G2G, U7BUY and PlayerAuctions, and 3 days on Eldorado. GameBoost asks you to report straight after delivery. The account cover that follows is a separate period.
Is a direct seller safer than a marketplace?
It is a different trade-off. A marketplace adds escrow and a short platform warranty; a direct seller has no middleman, so its written warranty and checkable track record matter most. METAMMO's warranty against recovery is lifetime, and its history is public on G2G, Eldorado and GameBoost.
