How to Refund Skins and Champions in LoL (Refund Tokens)

League of Legends lets you refund most skins and champions yourself, as long as you act quickly or still have a refund token. Unused content bought in the last 14 days can be refunded without a token. After that, or once you've used the item in a game, you need one of your three refund tokens, which cover purchases up to 90 days old.

LoL refund rules at a glance

These rules come from Riot's League refund policy and its Global Refund Policy. Local consumer law can give you extra rights in some countries.

What you can refund

Riot lists these as refundable:

• Champions
• Skins
• Emotes
• Ward skins
• Individual chromas
• Chroma packs (ticket only)
• Rune pages (ticket only)
• Summoner icons (ticket only)
• Unused Ancient Sparks (ticket only)

Items marked "ticket only" can't be refunded with the button in the client. Submit a ticket to Riot Player Support and an agent can process it for you, still following the same time limits.

What you can't refund

• Bundles
• Chests and other Hextech inventory, such as keys, chests and shards
• Event passes
• Gifts, whether you sent or received them
• Account (server) transfers
• Boosts
• Earned content
• Promotional items
• ARAM Wardrobe content

Bundles are the one to watch. They're on the non-refundable list, so think twice before buying a big bundle on impulse.

How refund tokens work

Refund tokens are League's safety net for purchases you regret after using them, or after the 14-day window closes.

• Every account starts with 3 tokens. That's also the maximum you can hold.
• One token comes back each year if you have fewer than three.
• Tokens cover purchases up to 90 days old, used or unused.
• One token refunds one purchase. A chroma pack counts as one purchase, and so does a single chroma.
• A spent token is gone for good. You can't refund a refund.
• You get back what you paid, in the same currency. If you bought a champion on sale for RP, you get the sale price back in RP, even if the sale has ended.

Tokens work for League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics content on PC. They don't apply to purchases made in the mobile version of TFT.

What counts as "used"?

Riot counts an item as used once you've had it in a game, including a custom game or a bot game. When a refund will spend a token, the client warns you first. Refunds of unused items inside the 14-day window show no token warning, because they don't cost one.

How to refund a skin or champion in the client

1. Sign in to the account that made the purchase.
2. Open the Store.
3. Click the Account button next to Purchase RP.
4. Open your purchase history and find the item.
5. Use the refund option next to it and confirm.

After the refund, the item is removed from your account and the RP or Blue Essence goes back to your balance.

If the item should be refundable but no refund option appears, wait 15 to 30 minutes and restart the client. Riot says new purchases can take a little time to become refundable. If it still doesn't show up, send a ticket.

Refunding RP for real money

RP itself follows stricter rules:

• The RP must be completely unused.
• The request must be made within 14 days of buying it, unless local law says otherwise.
• The money goes back to the original payment method only. A credit card purchase is refunded to that card.
• Riot can't refund real money to prepaid cards or gift cards. In those cases it may refund the purchase as RP instead.

RP refunds always go through a Player Support ticket. If you bought through a third-party store, such as a phone app store, that store's own refund rules apply, and Riot can't overrule them.

Don't use a chargeback

Riot treats a bank chargeback very differently from a refund request. According to its Global Refund Policy:

• A chargeback suspends the Riot account it applies to.
• You can usually get the account back only by contacting Player Support and repaying the amount.
• A chargeback on a gift suspends both the sender and the receiver.
• Several chargebacks on one account can lead to a permanent ban.

If something was bought without your permission, contact Player Support first.

Special cases

A champion update ruined a champion you bought. Riot doesn't refund content because a champion was changed or reworked.

Your account was hacked and someone spent your RP or tokens. Secure your email first: change its password and turn on two-factor authentication. Then recover your Riot account. Riot says it reverses purchases made during a confirmed account compromise, including spent refund tokens.

Your child made a purchase without permission. Contact Riot Player Support so they can investigate.

You bought the wrong skin seconds ago. If you haven't played a game with it, refund it right away. Within 14 days, an unused item doesn't need a token.

Not everything on your account costs RP. Riot ID changes, for example, are free every 90 days; see our guide to changing your Riot ID.

Frequently asked questions

How many refunds do you get in League of Legends?

Each account has up to 3 refund tokens and gets 1 back each year if it holds fewer than three. Unused purchases from the last 14 days can also be refunded without spending a token, so you can do more than three refunds in total.

Can you refund a skin after using it in LoL?

Yes, if you bought it within the last 90 days and still have a refund token. Using a skin in any game, including a custom or bot game, means the refund costs a token.

Can you refund a champion bought with Blue Essence?

Yes. Champions are refundable, and refunds return the currency you paid with. A champion bought with Blue Essence gives Blue Essence back.

Can you refund a bundle in League of Legends?

No. Bundles are on Riot's non-refundable list, and so are chests, event passes, gifts and server transfers. If you need help with an unusual case, you can still ask Player Support.

How long do you have to refund in LoL?

You have 14 days for unused content without a token, and up to 90 days with a refund token. After 90 days, purchases can't be refunded.

Can I get my real money back for RP?

Only if the RP is completely unused and you request it within 14 days, through a Player Support ticket. The money goes back to the original payment method, and prepaid or gift card purchases can't be refunded as cash.
