League of Legends is a very popular multiplayer online battle arena game. While LoL is free to play, there are many ways to spend real money on this game. There are many items such as champions, skins, icons, and chroma packs that you can buy within LoL. Should you ever have regrets about your in-game purchases, you can ask for a refund.
If you made a purchase by mistake, you can get a refund by using the refund tokens. Go to Store, click on Account, click on Purchase History located on right top. Select the item you want to refund from your purchase history and click “Refund” in the “Action” column.
For other purchases such as rune pages and chroma packs, you would need to submit a support ticket on the LoL Customer Support website to ask for a refund manually.
Not all items are refundable. For example, you cannot refund promotional items or bundles.
Contrary to popular belief, you do not always need a refund token to get a refund in LoL. If you refund an item within 7 days of its purchase, you do not need any refund token at all.

What Is a Refund Token
League of Legends’ refund token allows players to get a refund on champions and cosmetic items such as skins. Each account comes with 3 refund tokens. If you bought something by mistake or simply changed your mind after purchasing an item from League’s shop, you can use these tokens to get refunds.
It used to be the case that each League of Legends user only gets 3 refund tokens for the entire lifetime of their LoL account. But Riot Games – the company that develops League of Legends – has since changed its policy regarding refund tokens.
The new policy on refund tokens is that you will get to recoup one refund token each year if you have fewer than 3 tokens. On the other hand, you will not get any extra refund token if you already have 3 tokens. In other words, the maximum number of refund tokens you can hold at any given time is 3.
One common misconception about refund tokens is that many people think they need to use 1 token for every refund they request. That is simply not the case.
If an item is refundable and has not been used, then you can request a refund within 7 days of its purchase without needing to use a refund token at all.
It is only when you want to refund an item after 7 days of its purchase that you would need to use a refund token.
But even with the use of a refund token, you still need to make sure you ask for a refund on an item within 90 days of its purchase. After 90 days, you will not be able to get a refund no matter what.
Once you have used a refund token, it is gone. You would have to wait for your yearly replenishment of 1 refund token. That is the only way you can get a new refund token.
How To Get More Refund Tokens
As mentioned in the section above, every League of Legends account starts with 3 refund tokens, and the only way to get an additional token is to wait for the annual replenishment event in which you would get 1 extra token if your account has fewer than 3 tokens.
This replenishment event typically happens in early January each year. For most users, your account will automatically get credited with 1 extra token if it has 2 tokens or fewer during this event.
Occasionally, some users may not receive the extra token even when their accounts are eligible. In cases like that, you would need to contact League of Legends’ Customer Support directly to ask for your token.
- Go to the League of Legends Customer Support website
- Sign in to your League of Legends account with your LoL username and password
- In your customer support ticket, explain you are eligible for a replenishment refund token but have not yet received one
- Wait to hear back from the League of Legends Customer Support team. In most cases, you will hear back from Customer Support within 2 or 3 days and get your replenishment refund token
