Short summary: Buying, selling, or sharing Clash of Clans accounts is against Supercell’s rules. People who do it face scams, account theft, or permanent bans. Use Supercell ID and build your own village — it’s safer and gives a better long-term experience.
1. What people mean by “Clash of Clans accounts”
When people talk about “Clash of Clans accounts” they usually mean a game profile that has a village, level, troops, heroes, gems, and progress tied to a login (often linked to a Supercell ID or a device). Some players sell advanced or maxed accounts for money, while others offer account “boosting” or sharing. This is why the phrase often appears on buy/sell marketplaces, forums, and social media.
2. The official rule: buying or sharing is not allowed
Supercell’s rules are clear: selling, buying, sharing, or giving away game accounts is forbidden. Their Terms of Service and Fair Play pages explicitly state you must not purchase, sell, rent, or give away accounts. If you break these rules, Supercell may permanently suspend or ban the account. This is the most important fact to remember. (Supercell)
3. Why Supercell forbids buying/selling accounts (short list)
-
Fair play: Account trading lets players skip effort and pay to climb ranks, which harms fairness. (Supercell)
-
Scams: Account marketplaces attract fraud. Sellers may take money and never hand over credentials, or accounts can be reclaimed by original owners. (Supercell)
-
Security and fraud detection: Shared or sold accounts make it hard to verify the real player and open doors to chargebacks, stolen payment claims, or other fraud. (Supercell)
4. Common risks when you buy or share an account
-
You might get scammed. Many account-sale listings are fraudulent: they ask for payment first, then disappear. Some “marketplaces” promise safety but can still be risky. (Buy-clash)
-
Account recovery by the original owner. If the seller didn’t remove linking or used false credentials, the original owner can recover the account and you lose it — often without refund. (Supercell)
-
Permanent ban. Supercell can detect account sharing or suspicious changes and ban the account. Bans can be permanent and irreversible. (Supercell)
-
Privacy and payment risk. Giving payment or personal info to unknown sellers can expose you to identity theft or chargeback disputes. (Supercell)
5. Real-world examples (what communities say)
Players on forums and Reddit often warn about the high chance of getting scammed or banned if you buy accounts. Community posts repeatedly remind buyers: accounts bought from unofficial sellers are never truly safe, and many people report losing both money and access. These community experiences match Supercell’s official warnings. (Reddit)
6. How Supercell helps protect real accounts
Supercell has tools to protect and recover accounts — like Supercell ID and official support articles explaining what to do if someone else accesses your account. Linking your email and using Supercell ID helps you recover access if your device is lost or compromised. But note: even with recovery tools, if Supercell finds evidence of account trading or sharing it can still ban accounts. (Supercell Support Portal)
7. Safer alternatives to buying an account
If you want fast progress without breaking rules, try these legal options:
-
Play consistently: Weekly events, Clan Wars, and seasonal content give resources and progression over time.
-
Buy in-game items only from official stores: If you want to speed up progress, purchase gems from the official in-game store. That is allowed and safe.
-
Join an active clan: A helpful clan gives donations and tips, speeding up your progression naturally.
-
Boosts and offers: Supercell sometimes runs offers, events, or passes that accelerate progress legally.
These keep your account safe and reduce the risk of bans or scams.
8. If someone offers to sell you an account — quick checklist
Before you even consider a private sale (not recommended), think about this:
-
Ask why they are selling and get proof they own it (but this can be faked).
-
Avoid upfront payments to unknown sellers. Use trusted methods only — but remember even “trusted” payment does not protect you from the seller reclaiming the account.
-
Check if the account is linked to a Supercell ID or email and whether that will be transferred properly.
-
Know that Supercell can still ban an account for transfer/trading. Even a seemingly “clean” transfer can be non-compliant. (Supercell)
9. What to do if your account is stolen or you find someone else using it
-
Immediately contact Supercell support through the official help page or in-game help.
-
Provide proof of ownership (receipts, player tag, Supercell ID details, device info).
-
Change linked emails and secure your payment methods.
-
If you used a third-party seller, be prepared for limited options — Supercell treats account trading as a violation, so your case can be complicated. (Supercell Support Portal)
10. Final advice — simple and clear
-
Don’t buy or sell accounts. It’s against the rules and risky. (Supercell)
-
Use Supercell ID and official support to keep your account safe. (Supercell Support Portal)
-
If you want to progress faster, use in-game purchases or play smartly (join a clan, follow guides, focus upgrades). These are safer and long-lasting.
Closing line
Clash of Clans is fun because you build your own village and join a clan. Shortcuts like buying accounts may seem tempting, but they bring big risks: scams, loss, and bans. Play safe, protect your login with Supercell ID, and enjoy the climb — it’s more rewarding that way. (Supercell)
