  1. I bought a game key from unauthorized seller and found out it's against the rules


    Around april last year I bought a game key on Kinguin (redeemed it on my account) and now I found out it's against the xbox rules. I'm a bit worried about getting banned for it. Should I report it to xbox support in some way?

    :)

    Hi GerardPodgórniak, my name is Joel, I'm here to help you with any problems or questions you may have.

    GerardPodgórniak. Only if your account and you are physically in a country that has a sanction that prevents the purchase of new content, or that the game you purchased is not offered by Microsoft in your region or country, your account could end up affected because this goes against the Microsoft Terms of Service https://www.microsoft.com/servicesagreement/upc...

    If your purchase does not fall under these assumptions you will not have any type of problem. On the other hand, there is no way to report this to Microsoft, simply do not redeem the code or key in your account.

    Regards

    Purchasing game keys from unauthorized third party sellers is against the rules for a reason, as you've just discovered.

    As has been stated, the problem is that someone sold or had their code stolen, which you then purchased from an unauthorized third party. As stated, these keys are tied to mobile billing.

    As Ms is not the one billing you, they cannot control your subscription. While you will not be billed, the person that sold the code may, since the sub will not be cancelled their end. This may cause you issues in the future
