The short answer
The registry records GOG.com as a possible interpretation of GOG.COM. This descriptor-to-company association has not passed claim-level evidence review. Compare the exact line, amount and posted status with your own receipt or account activity; the name alone cannot confirm the merchant or whether you authorized the payment.
What do the parts of GOG.COM mean?
- GOG.COM
- A web address in the line. Compare it with the company site on your receipt or account email before relying on it.
The notes below are unreviewed registry explanations, not confirmation of merchant identity, authorization or current policy. Claim-level source review is pending for this entry.
What is the GOG.COM charge?
Unreviewed registry note: A transaction labeled GOG.COM on your credit card or bank account represents a digital purchase processed through GOG.com, the digital game storefront operated by CD Projekt. Specializing in DRM-free computer games and classic PC releases, GOG.com allows gamers to buy software licenses that do not require continuous online verification or client activation.
Unreviewed registry note: The charge occurs when you or a household member buys a video game or downloadable content (DLC) during seasonal sales promotions. Because GOG.com operates out of Poland, some United States financial institutions classify the payment as a cross-border transaction, occasionally assessing a separate 1% to 3% international foreign transaction fee. If the amount on your statement is slightly higher than the published cart price, that variance results from your bank's currency conversion fee rather than an overcharge by GOG.com.
International Transaction Fees
Unreviewed registry note: If the amount on your statement is slightly higher than the price you saw at checkout, it is likely an international transaction fee charged by your bank, not GOG.
Unreviewed registry note: GOG is based in Poland, and many banks charge a fee for transactions processed by foreign companies. GOG only charges the exact amount shown in your cart.
- Step 1 Unreviewed registry note: Confirm if anyone else who has access to your card or PayPal account made the purchase.
- Step 2 Unreviewed registry note: If you have an account, log in and check your 'Orders and Settings' to see if there is a matching transaction.
What should I do if I see an unauthorized charge?
A registry match cannot establish that you authorized a transaction or that it is safe. Compare the original account records. If you did not authorize a payment, contact your issuer promptly through its official channel.
