Understand the Main Risks

Krafton's Rules of Conduct say attempts to engage in cash transactions will lead to bans, including attempting to trade accounts or advertising account trading. Its Terms of Service say violations can terminate your license without refunds. PUBG Mobile's rules treat account boosting for cash as subject to penalties such as resetting character information, including BP and items. See our PUBG buyer's guide.

How to Vet a Seller

Ask what transfers with the account: the linked email, platform account and recovery details. Look for independent reviews and a record in PUBG specifically. Our PUBG vendor list shows category scores.

Safer Delivery Practices

Insist on full transfer of registered email and platform links, then change all credentials and enable two-factor authentication. Never accept a boost that needs your login.

Protect Your Payment Information

Use a payment with dispute rights and keep records. Avoid irreversible methods.

Red Flags to Avoid

Accounts priced far below comparable ones; refusal to hand over recovery details; requests for your login; and guarantees of no bans.

Step-by-Step Order Checklist

If you have weighed the rules and decided to go ahead, work through these steps in order. They reduce the avoidable risks; they do not make an order compliant with the game's terms.

  1. Ask what transfers: email, platform links and recovery details.
  2. Read the vendor's review and compare with typical prices.
  3. Never share your login or accept a boost that needs it.
  4. Change credentials and enable two-factor authentication on handover.
  5. Pay with a method that allows disputes and keep records.
  6. Do not advertise or discuss cash trades in game.

What to Do After Delivery

Confirm the account, change credentials and keep records. Understand that Krafton can act on accounts involved in cash transactions and that termination carries no refund.

Lower-Risk Alternatives

Earn BP and cosmetics in game and use the official store; see our BP guide and leveling guide.
