Selling a League of Legends account can be a confusing process, but it won't be as hard as you think, especially if you are the original owner. Many summoners choose to sell their League of Legends accounts to make some profit.
Riot Games do not restrict this, so there is nothing to fear in this area. However, summoners still need to know some tips because there are multiple ways to sell their game accounts, and it's not impossible to get scammed during the process.
We have prepared a guide to selling your LoL account to limit confusion. Make sure to understand these tips clearly, as they can be crucial for the selling process.
Before selling your account, you must set up and edit some features. These features will make your account “salable.” One of the changes includes disabling the 2FA (Two-factor authentication.) With 2FA disabled, your personal authenticator will be disconnected from your main account.
You might also want to change the username or e-mail address of the LoL account. For detailed information on the account guide, make sure to visit the LoL account guide page.
There are plenty of online marketplaces where you can sell League of Legends accounts. However, there is no official way of doing so. This means that you cannot sell your LoL account in-game. You cannot sell it through the Riot Games store as well.
To sell your game account on an online marketplace, you first need to find a trustable platform. Account selling processes in League of Legends do not require an intermediary. However, there are a lot of scammers who attempt to steal people's accounts. Because of this, using a reliable intermediary marketplace is essential when selling LoL accounts.
After finding an accountable buyer or an intermediary marketplace, you can sell as many League accounts as you want very easily:
The amount for how much you can sell your LoL account depends on various factors. Because of this, their values differ from each other. In general, League of Legends accounts sell faster, and at a higher price, if there is something more special about them. The main factors that determine the account's price are account details such as:
Especially, the rank of your LoL account has a huge weight on the value of your LoL account. Here's hoping that you've preferred rankeds to normal games, and you were an exceptional player, because the higher your LoL account rank is, the higher price you will be able to sell it for.
Because of this reason, some highly experienced players create new accounts and sell them when they achieve high ranks.
While no one can tell you how much money you can sell your LoL account for, you can make an estimation if you examine the main factors. Read the how much is your lol account worth article to understand the factors. Then, you can make an estimation of how much you can sell your LoL account for.
You are allowed to sell your LoL account through trading platforms. However, if you use trustable intermediaries, there are no restrictions for you to sell your account. Make sure to edit some features on your account so that Riot Games will not spot that you have sold your account.
Although not strictly forbidden, account trading isn't actively supported by Riot Games, due to scamming possibilities. There are a lot of scammers out there with different malicious tricks they are eager to try on you. That's why it's better to make sure you do everything there is to prevent it from happening. After all, you want the money to be on your Paypal account, not in someone else's pocket
To do it for a living you need to be very experienced. If you are, start by creating a smurf account. Then, carry the smurf account to higher ranks. If you repeat creating smurf accounts, and getting them to higher ranks you can sell accounts for a living.
If you fancy it, you can even make a kind of investment out of it. Buying a LoL smurf account which was created some time ago (and maybe even has some rare skins on it) and getting an impressive rank on it will enable you to sell it at a higher price.z
