Marketplace terms

Escrow: Payment held by the marketplace until the buyer confirms the handover; the seller is paid only after that.
Hold: The seller's share of a confirmed order, kept by the marketplace until the warranty window closes.
Warranty: Thirty days of cover on every order: replacement or refund if access is lost through no fault of the buyer.
Dispute: A claim opened from the order page when the delivery is wrong or missing; a person decides it from the order log.
Full access (FA): An account sold together with its original email, so the buyer can change everything and own it outright.
Original email (OGE): The email address the account was created with — whoever controls it controls the account.
Account recovery: The original owner reclaiming a sold account through the publisher's support — the main risk of buying accounts.
Smurf account: A second, lower-ranked account used by an experienced player — the origin of the site's name.
Unranked: An account that has met the game's requirements for ranked play but has not played its placement matches.
Hand-leveled: An account leveled by a person playing normally, rather than by a bot — the kind that survives ban waves.
MMR: Matchmaking rating — the hidden number a game uses to pick opponents, distinct from the visible rank.
Placement matches: The first ranked games of a season that decide an account's starting rank.
Boosting: A service that raises an account's rank — either by a booster playing it (piloted) or playing alongside the owner (self-play).
Self-play: A boosting order where the buyer plays on their own account alongside the booster; no credentials change hands.
Piloted: A boosting order where the booster logs into the buyer's account and plays it until the target is reached.
Coaching: An hour with a higher-ranked player who watches, plays alongside or reviews replays — on the buyer's own account.
Payout: A seller's withdrawal of their balance after the hold has been released.
Cashback: A share of every paid order credited to the buyer's wallet, released when the order is confirmed.
Wallet: The buyer's balance on the marketplace: cashback, refunds credited as wallet credit, daily-case rewards.
Refund: Money returned for an order that went wrong — instantly as wallet credit, or the way you paid.
Promo code: A code entered at checkout for a percentage or fixed discount; some are personal and work only for the account they were issued to.
Seller rank: New, Rising, Top or Elite — a badge computed from confirmed sales, rating and reviews; it changes no terms.
Verified purchase: A review badge meaning the reviewer's order exists on the marketplace; imported reviews do not carry it.
Per-unit listing: A currency or coaching listing priced for one unit — 1K gold, one hour — with the seller's stock and minimum order stated.
Manual delivery: A handover done by the seller in person after payment — gold traded in game, a boost played, an item sent — as opposed to automated pool delivery.

Fortnite

OG skin: A cosmetic from the game's early seasons that has not returned to the shop — rare because it cannot be bought any more.
Vaulted: Removed from the item shop, with no announced return date.
Locker: The account's collection of cosmetics: skins, back blings, pickaxes, gliders, emotes and wraps.
Battle pass: The seasonal reward track; its exclusive skins never return to the shop once the season ends.
Item shop: The rotating store where most cosmetics are sold; what is not in it today may not be for sale for years.
Save the World (STW): Fortnite's paid PvE mode; an account with it can earn V-Bucks daily and is worth more.
V-Bucks: Fortnite's premium currency, bought with real money and spent in the item shop.
Linked console: A PlayStation, Xbox or Switch account tied to the Epic account; it cannot always be unlinked.
Stacked: A locker with many cosmetics — the seller's word for size, not for rarity.
Exclusive: A cosmetic that cannot be bought in the item shop: battle pass rewards, promotions, event drops.
Renegade Raider: The Season 1 skin bought for V-Bucks at level 20 in late 2017, the rarest common reference point for an OG account.
Purple Skull Trooper: The glow style of Skull Trooper available only to accounts that owned the skin in October 2017.
Email change: Whether the buyer can replace the account's email — the line that decides if a Fortnite account can be secured.

League of Legends

Level 30: The account level required for ranked play; "level 30 unranked" is the standard smurf listing.
Blue essence (BE): The free currency that buys champions; a large balance means the buyer picks their own roster.
Honor level: Riot's behaviour score; low honor locks rewards and end-of-season borders.
Ranked rewards: Victorious skins and borders given at season end for a rank held on an honourable account.
Champion shard: A drop from a hextech chest that unlocks a champion for a discount, or disenchants into blue essence.
Hextech chest: A loot box earned by playing well; opens with a key into skin and champion shards.
Prestige skin: A limited gold variant of a skin, available for a short window and then gone.
Region transfer: Moving an account between Riot regions for RP — possible for most regions, with a cooldown.
Iron to Challenger: The nine ranked tiers; each below Master has four divisions, and the top three are ladders.
LP: League Points, the score inside a rank; a hundred promotes, zero and a loss demotes.
RP: Riot Points, the paid currency that buys skins and region transfers.
Black Alistar: The pre-order skin from 2009 — the oldest unobtainable skin in the game.
Champion count: How many champions the account owns; a full roster is a selling point on its own.
Duo queue: Ranked with one partner; the format self-play boosting and most coaching sessions use.

Valorant

Rank rating (RR): The points inside a rank; a hundred of them is a promotion.
Episode and act: Valorant's seasons: an episode is three acts, and ranks are reset at episode boundaries.
Radiant: The top rank, above Immortal; only the highest few hundred players per region hold it.
Level 20: The account level required for competitive play; the Valorant equivalent of a level-30 smurf.
Radianite points: The currency that upgrades weapon skins to their higher variants and finishes.
Skin bundle: A themed set of weapon skins sold in the store for a limited time; its contents are bound to the account.
Region: Valorant accounts are bound to the region they were created in; the buyer must play on that region's servers.
Valorant Points (VP): The paid currency that buys skins, bundles and the battle pass.
Agent unlocks: Which agents the account has unlocked; a full roster saves the buyer weeks of contracts.
Champions bundle: The yearly esports bundle sold only during the Champions event; its items never return.
Arcane Sheriff: The free skin from the Arcane event in 2021; gone since, and a marker of a 2021 account.
Immortal (Valorant): The three-tier rank below Radiant; the usual proof bar for a coach or booster.

Counter-Strike 2

Float value: A number from 0 to 1 describing a skin's wear; lower is cleaner and, within a wear tier, more valuable.
Wear tier: The five condition labels — Factory New to Battle-Scarred — that the float value maps onto.
Pattern seed: The number that decides how a skin's texture is placed on the weapon; some seeds are worth many times the base price.
Trade hold: The seven-day period before a newly received item can be traded again.
Prime status: The paid tier that unlocks Premier matchmaking and drops; an account without it is worth far less.
Premier rating: CS2's numeric rank for the Premier mode, in the thousands; the number a listing states.
Faceit level: The rank on the third-party competitive platform, from 1 to 10; level 10 is the top.
Steam Market price: The price of an item on Steam's own market, paid in wallet funds that cannot be cashed out.
Case Hardened: A skin family whose value is decided by the pattern seed — the famous blue gems are seeds, not tiers.
Souvenir: A skin dropped during a Major, with tournament stickers applied; priced by the event and the teams.
StatTrak: A skin variant with a kill counter; priced above the plain version of the same skin.
Service medal: The yearly profile medal for reaching level 40; older years are proof of an account's age.
VAC ban: Valve's anti-cheat ban, visible on the Steam profile forever; an account with one cannot play on secure servers.

Roblox

Limited: A catalog item with a fixed supply that can be resold between players — Roblox's tradable class.
RAP: Recent Average Price — the running average of a limited's recent sales, the usual quote for its value.
Projected: A limited whose RAP was pushed above its real value by a few high sales; traders avoid them.
Robux: Roblox's currency; bought for money, spent on items and passes, and — through DevEx — the only route to cash out.
Roblox Premium: The subscription that adds a monthly Robux stipend and the ability to trade limiteds.
Account age: The years since creation; old accounts carry badges and items that cannot be earned any more.
Headless Horseman: The bundle that removes the avatar's head; the most recognised Roblox status item, sold in the shop only around Halloween.
Korblox Deathspeaker: The bundle with the ghostly right leg; like Headless, a status item sold in the shop rather than a limited.
Two-step verification: Roblox's second factor on login; it must be moved to the buyer or the account stays reachable.

Genshin Impact

Adventure rank (AR): The account-wide progression level; unlocks regions, events and difficulty.
Five-star (5★): The rarest tier of characters and weapons, pulled from the gacha; the core of an account's value.
Constellation (C0–C6): Duplicate copies of a five-star character, each unlocking an upgrade; C6 is six duplicates.
Pity: The guarantee counter: a five-star is certain within ninety pulls, and a limited one within two five-stars.
Primogems: The currency that buys wishes; an account's balance is future pulls.
Starter account: A low-AR account with one or more limited five-stars, sold for the pulls rather than the progress.
Server: Genshin accounts live on one of four servers — Asia, Europe, America, TW/HK/MO — and cannot move.
Reroll: Making fresh accounts and pulling until a wanted character lands — the source of most starter accounts.
Weapon banner: The gacha for five-star weapons, with its own pity; signature weapons multiply a character's value.
Welkin Moon: The monthly subscription that pays primogems daily; active days remaining are part of a listing.
Spiral Abyss / Theater: The endgame content whose full clear proves an account is built, not just pulled.

Dota 2

Immortal item: The rarest cosmetic rarity, with custom effects; the most valuable tradable class in Dota 2.
Arcana: A hero's premium cosmetic set with changed animations, effects and sometimes voice lines.
Treasure: Dota 2's loot box; the source of most Immortals, some of which never return after the treasure retires.
Dota Plus: The subscription that unlocks hero progression, stats and the shard shop.
Rank medal: The visible rank tiers from Herald to Immortal, each with stars; a listing's medal is its ranked standing.
Dota MMR: The visible number behind the medal; leaderboard position for Immortal.
Dota Plus / event pass levels: Event pass levels earn cosmetics that retire with the event; high levels on old passes are collector value.
Compendium: The older name for the TI battle pass; its items are the oldest retired cosmetics in the game.

Rust

Twitch drop: A skin earned by watching a Rust stream during a drop event; never sold and often expensive afterwards.
Rust skin: A cosmetic for a weapon, tool, clothing or building piece; tradable through Steam like CS2 skins.
Hours: The account's played time on Steam; in Rust, a proxy for experience and a reason a server may accept or refuse a player.
Game ban: A ban recorded on the Steam profile, visible to everyone and permanent for the game it applies to.
Rust Console Edition: The separate console game with its own accounts and no item trading; not the Steam product.
Wipe: The periodic server reset that erases bases and progress; hours and skins survive it, blueprints often do not.

Brawl Stars

Trophies: The account-wide score summed across brawlers; the first number on a listing.
Brawler count: How many of the roster the account has unlocked, and at what power levels.
Legendary brawler: The rarest unlock tier; Leon, Crow, Spike and the others are named on every listing that has them.
Hypercharge: A brawler's top-tier upgrade, bought with coins and shards; changes how the brawler plays.
Power level: A brawler's upgrade level, 1 to 11; gadgets, star powers and hypercharges gate on it.
Ranked (Brawl Stars): The competitive mode with its own tiers — Bronze to Masters and above — separate from trophies.
Supercell ID: The login that owns a Supercell account; the account is sold by handing over the ID's email.

Clash Royale

King level: The account's overall level, raised by upgrading cards; caps the tower level.
Card levels: How far the cards are upgraded; the maxed deck matters more than the collection size.
Evolutions: Upgraded forms of specific cards, unlocked with evolution shards; the current meta's power items.
Trophies (Clash Royale): The ladder score; arenas and leagues open by it.

PUBG Mobile

UC: Unknown Cash, the paid currency; a balance and the outfits it bought are what a listing prices.
Mythic outfit: The rarest cosmetic tier, from crates and events; old mythics do not return.
Royale Pass: The seasonal pass; its rewards retire with the season and mark an account's age.
Conqueror: The top rank tier, awarded to the top of the server each season; a season title, not a permanent state.
Login method: Facebook, Google, Twitter or Apple — the account is sold by handing over the linked login.

Steam

Steam Guard: Steam's two-factor; the mobile authenticator must be moved to the buyer, and moving it starts trade holds.
Steam level: The profile level from badges; visible, cheap to fake with card sets, and still a signal buyers read.
Game count: How many games are in the library; on account shelves, a count of keys rather than a measure of value.
Store region: The country of the Steam store the account buys from; prices and availability differ, and it changes only with a real move.
Family Sharing: Lending a library to other accounts; a shared game is not owned and cannot be sold.

Apex Legends

Heirloom: A legend's melee cosmetic from the heirloom shards system; the rarest and most-searched Apex item.
Predator: The top rank tier, held by the top players per platform each split; a badge that stays as history.
Apex packs: The loot boxes; the count opened decides the heirloom shard guarantee.
EA account: The login Apex accounts belong to; sold by transferring the EA email and its second factor.

Escape from Tarkov

Edition (Tarkov): Standard, Left Behind, Prepare for Escape, Edge of Darkness, Unheard — the purchased tier that sets stash size and starting gear.
Wipe (Tarkov): The periodic full reset of progress; only the edition and its perks survive it.
Stash: The account's storage; its size is set by edition and can be expanded by the hideout.
Tarkov Arena: The separate PvP game linked to the main account; included with higher editions.

Path of Exile

League: The temporary economy that starts with each expansion and resets; currency and items there are worth the most early on.
Divine Orb: The trade currency the league economy is priced in since the exalted swap; sold per orb.
Mirror of Kalandra: The rarest currency item; duplicates an item once, and is sold as a single unit at league-dependent prices.
Standard: The permanent league where past leagues' characters and stashes end up; prices there are lower and stable.
Stash tabs: Paid inventory tabs bought with points; account-bound, and part of what an account listing offers.
