Gamertag Claim

umm hate to break it to you but it's not sign in every 5 years if it doesn't sign in within 5 years from 2016

It's a lottery when names are released and yes it is a violation of the terms of use on any service regardless if it's xbox Sony etc accounts are NOT FOR SALE

And guess what you are playing Russian roulette if you even tried

One the owner of the account can reclaim the account at anytime meaning even if you violate the terms of use by buying it YOU DONT OWN THE ACCOUNT

Only the original creator of the account does and no ownership doesn't transfer between users

They can reclaim the account at anytime and no you can't do anything about it also Stealing an account is a console banabler offence

So if the seller didn't actually create the account and stole it guess who's liable YOU

and fraud is against the law

Accounts can be forums only or Use for xbox for Windows or Windows 10 which also requires a gamertag

Not everything is used for xbox

There is no way to reserve a gamertag.

Feel free to close this- The tag just opened up for me. Cheers.

Hi there! This is Ronnie, an independent adviser.

Nice to meet you and I hope you are having a great day!

I understand you need help regarding a gamertag.

Just a heads up, Microsoft does not have control over the gamertag being used already on another account. I understand that you really want to have this back but if this was already taken, you would not be able to use it anymore even though the account is inactive. This is the reason why they created a new gamertag system that if you use a gamertag that has already been taken, you would get a suffix after that gamertag so it would still be unique.

Hope that clarifies everything.

It has been my pleasure. Have a good day!
