How to get a free League of Legends refund token

Joe O'Brien

Riot Games are giving players a free League of Legends refund token at the start of 2020, and here’s how to claim it.

Refund tokens allow League of Legends players a bit more control over their purchases. Rather than having to contact Riot support if you misclick, or simply change your mind about an item, you can get your money back immediately with tokens.

In order to prevent abuse of the system, however, refund tokens are limited to three per account. In theory, once those three are used, players will have to go through the regular support system if they hope to get any items refunded.

Fortunately for those who have chosen to use some of their refund tokens, however, at the start of 2020 Riot are offering another token for free. In order to receive it, all you need to do is go to the claim page on the League of Legends support site and log into your account.

There is still a limit of three per account, so if you’ve never used a token you won’t be able to collect a fourth. That being said, there’s no indication that the 2020 token offering has a time limit, so if you do end up using one this year, keep in mind that you can come back and replace it.

New champion purchases can also be refunded by tokens.

League of Legends is a free-to-play game, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of things for players to spend their money on. While all champions can eventually be earned without having to drop any real money, they can also be bought directly to speed up the process, and many long-time players will eventually spend some money on skins and other cosmetics for their favorite champions.

It’s worth noting for those unfamiliar with the refund system that not all items are refundable. Certain purchases, including bundles, promotional items, and gifts, cannot be refunded with tokens, so if you’re not sure about a particular buy and may want to refund it, make sure you check whether that’s an option first.
