Hi there,,

Thank you for reaching out to us here at Humble Bundle Support!

Please be aware that purchases made through Humble Bundle are meant for personal use only. We do not support the exchanging of Steam keys or the trading of games. Additionally, we in no way support the trading or reselling of games purchased through Humble Bundle as this is a violation of our Terms of Service.

It should be noted that both trading and reselling keys on the “grey market” affects the industry’s ability to flourish and support our awesome developers and marketplaces like Humble Bundle, as noted in this article here. While the practice of reselling damages trust from developers, it should also be noted that a majority of resold/obtained games in this arena are purchased with stolen personal information. Ultimately, this practice negatively impacts the developers, Humble Bundle, and gamers all at once when these titles are found to be fraudulent purchases.

We highly recommend against this practice for a number of reasons and have explained in detail why this practice is dangerous for all involved in a blog post.

I am sorry however we are not able to assist with issues in relation to game trading, selling, or any third party distributions of keys: https://support.humblebundle.com/hc/en-us/articles/202712380-Can-I-sell-trade-or-use-my-keys-for-promotional-purposes-i-e-Stream-giveaways-

Are you kidding with me ? Your words seems doesn't legal. You're seller and i'm buyer. I bought that key so i can do whatever i want. I can sell, giveaway or i can delete all key. Whatever, lets start all over. I want to give my key to MY FRIEND with GIVING A HUMBLE LINK -So it seems 'Legal' from your viewpoint, could you replace my KEY because your sold key was USED. If u sold USED KEY, it doesn't matter whos i gave. Because it's USED KEY. So I love HumbleBundle,as you see in my acc, please REPLACE my key. Do not our -you and me- situation to going hard. Best regards

Hello Chloe,
I am not a reseller. How do you think and tag me with being a 'reseller'. I just want to giveaway my spare keys. Is it bad think ? Am I bad people for making giveaway for players who cannot buy keys ? Is it illegal why users can buy multiple bundles. Do you really think all peoples are give it via gift link ? Most of your buyers sell their keys on g2a etc. But why i tagged like selling ? I make giveaways always without getting any gain even I didn't wait respect. I just love to give keys to peoples and want to happy them. And you are saying something like that "your next purchases even if it includes fake key will not interest is". Did i deserve it ?

I don't want to replace my key anymore. I just stuck your attitude on this case for tier 1 game key. I believe I don't deserve this. And on my purchases from now on I will choose Humble tip ZERO. And of course I will recommend this to my friends and there is a bigger community of your costumers on Steamgifts, I will publish this situation on there for protesting you.```

Please write something to me. Am i wrong ?

EDIT 2: I LOVE HUMBLE BUNDLE. They were did something good for me. One time i was scammed for game NBA 2K17, THEY GAVED ANOTHER KEY, I said wow it was worthy game. One time they refunded wrong purchase. IDK Why they answer me like that. Supports changed ?

Maybe they had the "fair use" of gifting in mind when they started it, supposedly to give a game or two to your friends (not random internet IPs). They used to be quite open with people giving away their unwanted games and even had a (MEGA)thread in steam forums but I guess at some point IGN got tired of it and thought it's a money hole. They deleted ALL forums where you can reply in steam, only left the announcements and they're not open to comments. It didn't help that some bozos made it a "drop key for anything" thread though.
Did anyone ponder on the possibility that the winner got the key, activated in another account (willingly or not) and now is asking for extra key? I didn't go through the whole disco..
EDIT: Wanted to say convo but I'm sticking with disco now. I like it more..

I wouldn't doubt it, lots of shady people out there looking for free crap... Thankfully I built up a really steady reputation as an honest and legit trader, but when I was first starting out in trading, I had so many people pull the old,, my key is redeemed already crap it was ridiculous..

thankfully I built up my rep in a matter of about a year through trades, so now I can call people out on their bullcrap, 7 - 10 times the person will come back and give an excuse why the key didn't work.. Sometimes it'll be a revoked key that the developer invalidated and I didn't know until I searched.. Very rarely is a key actually redeemed by mistake,, It's normally some other reason such as scamming..

Don't trust Humble's unredeemed status. It's frequently inaccurate.

Had the same problem before but I stayed calm and nice and they replaced them, still think it's stupid they see giving away as reselling, they should just remove the gift links then.

Giving away is fine, that's what gift link is for. They saw TC's case as trading, not gifting.

HB support is on record (in an email they sent to a customer who wanted a key replaced) as distinguishing between personal gifting to personal friends or family (which is what gift links are intended for) and giveaways to random strangers on the internet.

Part of reason probably is because there are people who do random internet giveaways of keys for promotional purposes, such as promoting their Twitch channels or YouTube channels, and I don't think Humble wants their keys used that way.

I used to do the same, but the last several support tickets I've sent in myself have been taken care of quick and painless!

I've always found Humble to be very good when it comes to support ,they've even given me free keys like tier 2 of a bundle but only charged me for tier 1.
Always sorted refunds quickly with no hassle.

Can't really complain when they do nice stuff like that.
I suppose it's all about how you converse with the other person.

P.s:
Not that i haven't gotten angry sometimes on the internet ,i have ,but i just try and think before clicking that mouse these days.
It's too easy to be misunderstood when sending emails or messages back and forth.
Always best not to rush into it :)

They've given you the tier 2 keys when you only payed for tier 1? How did that happen?

Comment has been collapsed.

i payed for tier 2 but i paid more than i originally wanted to because i went off to make a coffee in-between purchasing.
The BTA had increased ,i put in a complaint and told them it has charged me more than the original BTA was.

So they refunded me and only charged me a dollar and let me keep the tier 2 games.
Very nice :)

Though the guy basically said it's a one off and be more careful in future .

IDK Why they answer me like that. Supports changed ?

You got that response because of what you said to them. You told them that you were trying to give away the key you bought from them. That is a violation of their ToS. Keys bought for your HB account are supposed to be used by you, not by someone else. Gift links are designed to be given to other people and used by them.

Also, being hostile, insulting, and combative with Support will not help your case (on any site).. Always be calm and polite when eliciting help from someone.
