Valorant Points (VP): why a code is tied to a region and how to find your account's region
VP codes are tied to the region of the Riot account. How to check your region, how to redeem a code in the game, and what happens when the region does not match.
Valorant Points (VP) are the currency you use in Valorant to buy skins, the Battle Pass and other content. Topping up VP with a gift code is convenient, on one condition: a code can only be redeemed on a Riot account of its own region. A Türkiye code is issued for Türkiye accounts, a CIS code for CIS accounts. So before buying VP you need to know the region of your account.
What VP is for
- Skins and bundles in the store.
- The premium part of the Battle Pass.
- Radianite Points, which are needed to upgrade skins.
VP is tied to the account: it cannot be moved to another account or turned back into money, so redeem the code on the right account.
What the region of a Riot account is
When an account is created, Riot ties it to a region based on the country. The currency of store prices, the servers and which VP code fits all depend on that region. Accounts of players in Azerbaijan differ too: some were created here, others while the player was in another country.
How to check the region
- Riot's support site has a page that shows an account's region: sign in with your Riot account and the current region is displayed.
- Look at the VP purchase screen in the game: if prices are shown in Turkish lira, the account is in the Türkiye region.
- If you are not sure, write to our support before you order.
Redeeming the code
- Open Valorant and sign in to your account.
- On the main screen, select the VP icon to open the purchase screen.
- Among the payment methods, choose prepaid cards and codes.
- Enter the code and confirm — the VP is added to your balance.
A code can be used only once. If it is a gift, do not redeem it yourself, and find out the region of your friend's account first.
If the region does not match
The game does not accept a code from another region, and no VP is added. A region mismatch is not grounds for a refund, and a delivered code cannot be returned. Changing the region of an account is limited by Riot's rules, so the plan “I'll buy the code and change the region later” does not work. Opening a new account in another region is no way out either: your skins and progress stay on the old account.
VP on GameBuy
In the catalog, Valorant Points codes are offered for the Türkiye, CIS and Global regions; the product name and description say which region the account has to be in. You pay by bank card or from your balance, and the code appears under “Orders” in your account. Delivery is usually instant; a delay on the supplier's side can extend it to up to 24 hours.
The code is for the right region but does not work
- Check the characters again; copy and paste the code.
- Make sure you are signed in to the right Riot account.
- Close Valorant, open it again and enter the code once more.
- If the problem remains, write to support within 48 hours of receiving the code and attach a screenshot of the error.
