Updated 26 October 2026: the page now follows a sale from listing to delivery, with the checks on the listing, Riot’s level-30 ranked requirements, the email transfer and the seller steps taken from GamerMarkt’s LoL listing page and Riot Support. The player-count and viewer figures, the skin dollar values, the “smurf” promotion and the safety marketing were removed because no source backs them.
A League of Legends account sale on GamerMarkt starts with a listing whose server, rank, champions and skins are read from the account itself. The buyer selects Buy Now, enters the email address that the account should move to and pays. GamerMarkt holds the payment until the delivery is complete. During delivery the account’s email changes to the buyer’s address after the buyer confirms Riot’s email, and the Riot account transfers as a whole, including any Valorant and TFT profiles attached to it.
What a LoL listing shows and how it is checked
The LoL account listings state the server, level, Solo/Duo and Flex rank, champions, skins, chromas, ward skins, icons, emotes, Honor level, RP and Blue Essence, the account’s creation country and season, and its LoL server history. These are read directly from the account when it is listed, and the update date on a listing shows when the account was last checked.
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| While listed | Listings are read again at regular intervals. A listing is removed when the account’s password is changed, two-step verification is turned on, or the account is disabled or banned. |
| Before delivery | The account is read once more and compared with the listing. Delivery stops and the order goes to review when the rank has dropped, the RP balance or Honor level is lower, a listed champion, skin or item is missing, a new restriction has appeared or the server has changed. |
| Restrictions | An account with an active League of Legends ban cannot be listed. Penalties such as low priority queue or a ranked restriction appear as a warning on the listing. |
Check the seller’s badge, any warnings and the warranty type, which the checkout page shows before you pay.
Ranked-ready accounts and servers
Riot’s Unlocking Game Modes page (29 May 2026) says Ranked Solo/Duo and Ranked Flex open at level 30, with at least 20 champions and 10 Swiftplay or Normal Draft games. A level 30 account that has not played ranked is usually called a fresh account, and on GamerMarkt it shows as Unranked; accounts that have not played ranked since the yearly reset show as Unranked too. A listing whose account owns fewer than 20 champions carries a warning that it cannot play ranked. EUW, EUNE, TR and NA are the servers named on the listing page, and the server stays the same during the email transfer.
How the email transfer works
- Select Buy Now, enter the email address and pay. The checkout page shows the listing’s warranty type and period.
- The system signs in to the account, with the seller’s confirmation where needed, compares it with the listing and requests the email change.
- Riot sends a confirmation email to your address. Click the link in it.
- The account’s password is renewed and the order completes. The username and new password appear under My Account, My Orders, See Account Details.
If Riot’s email does not arrive or the transfer cannot finish this way, the account is linked to a mailbox that the site opens, and you receive its address and password. Afterwards you can change the email to any address. If the new name matters, ask the seller about Riot ID changes: Riot’s Riot ID FAQ describes a free change every 90 days.
How to sell a LoL account
A seller needs phone and identity verification and an approved bank account. After the seller enters the account’s login details, the account’s content is read automatically and the seller sets the price: the amount entered is the sale proceeds, and the listing form adds the standard 15% commission to calculate the buyer’s price. When the account sells, a seller with a verified email enters the code that Riot sends to the inbox in the Verify Account step; for an unverified email the system signs in on its own. The LoL account value calculator gives an estimated price range from the server, Solo/Duo rank, skin count and valued skins, and the selling guide lists each requirement.
