What Funcom Says
Funcom’s Dune: Awakening EULA is specific. Section 7(f) bars players from selling, renting, leasing, licensing, distributing or otherwise transferring the Services, the Game or any Content, “including, without limitation, Virtual Goods or Game Currency, including participating in or operating so called ‘secondary markets’ for Virtual Goods, Game Currency or Content”. A paid Solari order is exactly that kind of secondary-market transfer.
Section 9(b) covers the currency itself: Virtual Goods and Game Currency “have no monetary value and cannot be redeemed for cash”, are “non-transferable and non-tradable” unless Funcom expressly permits it in a specific game, and are licensed, not sold. The same section says Funcom may cancel, revoke or otherwise prevent the use of Game Currency if it suspects unauthorised or fraudulent activity. Section 5(d) separately bars selling, reselling, renting, leasing, sharing or providing access to a Game Account, section 7(t) bars playing on another person’s account to boost it, and section 21 lets Funcom suspend, modify or terminate access — including Virtual Goods and Content — with no liability or notice when the EULA is breached.
How Third-Party Delivery Works
Sellers do not have an official transfer button to use. Delivery pages for Solari, such as IGGM’s, describe two workarounds. The first is a face-to-face trade in the world, arranged at a named meeting point such as Griffin’s Reach Tradepost, using your account identifier and character name. The second uses the CHOAM Exchange at Harko Village: you list a cheap item for the purchase amount plus tax — the example given is listing at 105,000 Solari for a 100,000 Solari order, with the seller covering the tax — set a three-day listing, upload a screenshot of the listing, and the seller buys the item so the Solari lands with you.
Both methods leave an obvious in-game trail. A junk item selling instantly for a round, inflated price on the Exchange, or a large one-way face-to-face handover, is easy to spot in trade logs, and it happens in a game where Funcom has already shown it traces and removes currency it considers illegitimate. Delivery being quick or routine does not make it permitted, and no seller can offer you the protection section 9(b) reserves to Funcom.
What Can Go Wrong
- Termination, not just a warning. Breaching the EULA lets Funcom suspend or terminate access under section 21, and the account, its base and its vehicles go with it.
- Solari removed after delivery. Section 9(b) lets Funcom cancel or revoke Game Currency it suspects is unauthorised or fraudulent, so paid Solari can disappear after you have spent real money on it.
- Duped supply. Funcom said in July 2025 that it had banned hundreds of players and removed large amounts of exploited Solaris from the game after a run of duplication and other exploits (PCGamesN, MassivelyOP). Cheap stock is often cheap because it was duplicated, and that is the stock most likely to be wiped.
- Family Sharing fallout. In the same July 2025 statement Funcom temporarily disabled Steam Family Sharing because the feature was being abused frequently to get around restrictions, a sign of how broadly it will act when enforcement is being evaded.
- Bought accounts. Account sales breach section 5(d), and a seller who keeps the original email or platform account keeps a route back in; Funcom will treat the transfer itself as the breach.
Red Flags to Avoid
- Promises of “no ban risk” or “official” Solari: Funcom sells no Solari directly, and its EULA calls Game Currency non-tradable.
- Very cheap Solari soon after a patch or hotfix, which often means freshly duplicated stock from a new exploit.
- Delivery that needs your Funcom, Steam, PlayStation or Xbox login, or a “farm-for-you” service that logs in as you, which breaches sections 5(d) and 7(t).
- Exchange listings you are told to price in a strange, exact way with no explanation of the tax, or pressure to claim the Solari immediately before it “disappears”.
- Payment only by crypto, gift cards or bank transfer, with no marketplace record of the order.
If You Decide to Go Ahead
We can’t make a purchase allowed by Funcom’s EULA. If you still buy, never share your login, keep the order on a marketplace with buyer protection, pay with a method you can dispute, start small, screenshot the Exchange listing and the completed trade, and bank the Solari rather than carrying it. Our Dune: Awakening page lists the sellers we review with their scores.
Lower-Risk Alternatives
Solari is earned, not bought, under Funcom’s rules, and the in-game routes are real. GameRant’s trading guide describes selling gear to merchants at trading posts in each region, and using the CHOAM Exchange in the two social hubs, Arrakeen and Harko Village, reached by a Taxi NPC at a trading post for a 2,500 Solari fare or later by your own ornithopter; at the Exchange sales terminal you price items yourself for other players. IGGM’s own Solari guide lists the same legitimate earners sellers use: completing faction bounties, crafting and selling through the Exchange, and selling high-value goods such as spice, rare materials and blueprints. Those routes take longer than an order, but the Solari they produce cannot be revoked as a secondary-market transfer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is buying Dune: Awakening Solari allowed?
No. Section 7(f) of Funcom’s EULA bars transferring Game Currency and taking part in secondary markets for it, and section 9(b) calls Game Currency non-transferable and non-tradable unless Funcom expressly permits it.
Can Funcom remove Solari I paid for?
Yes. Section 9(b) lets Funcom cancel, revoke or prevent the use of Game Currency it suspects is unauthorised or fraudulent, and in July 2025 it removed large amounts of exploited Solaris while banning hundreds of players.
How do third-party sellers deliver Solari?
Typically face-to-face in the world, for example at Griffin’s Reach Tradepost, or through the CHOAM Exchange at Harko Village, where you list a cheap item at an inflated price and the seller buys it. Both methods are visible in trade logs.
