I was worried until I saw that giant Trustpilot banner. Any site that needs a giant Trustpilot banner sure makes me feel confident.
(I don't trust this site)
It was legit the last time I bought a game from them, 10 years ago
GMG are legitimate.
I've purchased 7 games from them over the years, and my friends others. No issues. Started in 2014 with my last being in 2021.
i too am skeptical of sites that use trust pilot, but i have used greenmangaming before, they dont sell stolen keys or do other shady things AFAIK. It's a decent service.
Curious, what's wrong with TrustPilot?
You have to pay them to get the banner... ie. an inherent conflict of interest.
you see a lot of scam websites use them because its easy to get away with fake reviews.
It's basically this when you see that sticker.
For what it's worth- I've used them plenty and it's always appeared to be legitimate. They don't "stock" every game out there, but they do have most things and they do usually end up being 3-5% cheaper than steam unless steam is having a sale.
I’ve used them for a while too. Sometimes they’ll have weird keys super cheap. Like I was able to grab Dark Souls 3 + both DLC’s for like $16 or something way back when.
