If you are an active user of dLcompare, you might already know that Kinguin gift cards are among the most popular rewards available through our platform . Whether you won a card in our latest event or received one as a gift, knowing how to redeem it properly is the first step toward scoring your next favorite game without spending an extra cent.

How to redeem your gift card

Since Kinguin is a marketplace, not all gift cards work exactly the same way. Here is everything you need to know about turning that code into gaming gold.

The Classic Method: Adding Balance to Your Account

Most standard Kinguin gift cards (including the 10 € cards frequently given away on dLcompare) add funds directly to your "Kinguin Balance". This is a virtual wallet that allows you to purchase products without additional service fees .

To redeem this type of card, follow these simple steps :

1. Sign In: Head to the official Kinguin website and log in to your account. If you don’t have one, you will need to create one, and it takes less than a minute.
2. Visit the Redemption Page: Go directly to the Kinguin "Redeem a Gift Card" page. (It is often found in your account's dashboard under the "Operations" tab).
3. Enter the Code: Input the unique code you received from dLcompare or your email. Double-check for any typos!
4. Confirm: Click the "Redeem" or "Apply" button. The balance should be instantly added to your account.

Once the balance is added, it never expires, so you can save it for a big sale.

Pro Tip: If you are redeeming the card to buy a specific game, stick to Euro (EUR) as the base currency for the balance to work smoothly. If the price doesn't update, try moving the "Kinguin Balance" slider in your cart or leaving 0.01 € unused in the wallet to bypass technical glitches .

How to Spend Your Kinguin Balance

So, you’ve redeemed the card and see the cash in your account. Now what? Spending it is the best part .

1. Find a Game: Use dLcompare to find the best price for the game you want on Kinguin, then click through to the marketplace.
2. Add to Cart: Click "Buy Now" and proceed to the checkout page.
3. Use the Slider: On the right side of the checkout page, you will see the "Kinguin Balance" section. There is a slider there; drag it all the way to the right (or type in the amount) to apply your balance to the purchase.
4. Place Order: If your balance covers the total cost, simply click "Place Order." If it only covers part of it, you can pay the remainder via PayPal or credit card.

Why You Shouldn't Wait

While Kinguin balances generally last forever, some specific promotional cards (like those from third-party sellers such as SEAGM) may have a time limit. According to some support pages, certain gift cards should be redeemed "within 100 days of purchase" to ensure validity.

Final Thoughts

Redeeming a Kinguin gift card is a straightforward process that takes less than 60 seconds. It is the safest way to transact on the marketplace, as you aren't exposing your credit card to third-party sellers and you often avoid the usual payment processing fees.
