Resumen del cargo
This is a legitimate charge from Riot Games.
What is the Riot Games charge?
A charge from 'RIOT GAMES' is for in-game purchases on titles developed by Riot, such as League of Legends, Valorant, or Teamfight Tactics.
These are usually microtransactions for virtual currency (RP, VP) used to buy cosmetic items.
Chargebacks and Account Bans
It is very common for family members (especially children) to make these purchases on a shared device.
WARNING: If you issue a 'chargeback' through your bank for an unauthorized Riot Games purchase, Riot will automatically suspend the associated game account until the debt is repaid.
- Step 1 Log in to the official Riot Games Support page (support.riotgames.com) and view your 'Purchase History'.
- Step 2 If the charge is unauthorized, submit a support ticket to Riot first to resolve it without triggering an automatic account ban.
Will Riot support ask for my bank password?
No. Never share banking login details. Always use the official support portal, as scammers frequently impersonate Riot support.
Dispute Rights & Fraud Prevention
If you suspect this charge is fraudulent or billing in error, you have strict federal rights protecting your account.
Always review your statement carefully and take action within 60 days.
What should I do if I don't recognize this charge?
First, check with family members or anyone authorized on your account. If the charge remains unrecognized, contact your bank immediately to report it. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA), you have 60 days from the statement date to dispute unauthorized credit card charges.
How long does it take for a disputed charge to be removed?
Once you file a dispute, your bank must acknowledge it within 30 days and resolve it within two billing cycles (not exceeding 90 days). During this time, the disputed amount is usually placed on a provisional hold, meaning you do not have to pay it.
