The Terms of Service prohibit you from initiating a chargeback (reversing a credit card charge) for purchases made on Riot's platform, and doing so may result in account suspension.
This analysis describes what Riot Games's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The chargeback prohibition establishes Riot Games' required payment dispute procedures and removes a standard consumer financial protection mechanism from the available dispute pathways. This concentrates payment disputes into company-controlled processes rather than allowing users to access their financial institution's chargeback systems.
If you dispute a charge through your bank or credit card company, Riot may suspend or terminate your account, creating a financial dilemma for consumers who have been incorrectly charged or experienced fraudulent transactions. This provision puts players at risk of losing their entire account if they exercise standard banking consumer protections.
