Short answer: You can find places that sell Clash of Clans (CoC) accounts, but buying one is risky, often against the game rules, and may lead to getting banned or scammed. Read this guide to understand the risks, how marketplaces work, and safer alternatives.
1. Why people buy CoC accounts
Players buy Clash of Clans accounts for a few clear reasons:
-
To skip the long grind and play at a high Town Hall level right away.
-
To get strong heroes or maxed troops without spending months or real money.
-
To join competitive clans or climb trophies quickly.
Marketplaces and sellers advertise accounts with maxed heroes, high resources, or rare cosmetic items—this makes buying tempting. (PlayerAuctions)
2. Where people sell accounts (common marketplaces)
There are marketplaces and services that list CoC accounts for sale. Examples include PlayerAuctions, G2G, Eldorado-style marketplaces, and specialized sellers or shops that claim to provide instant delivery and a short warranty. These sites let buyers browse accounts by Town Hall level, hero level, or price. (PlayerAuctions)
3. Big risk #1 — It breaks Supercell’s rules
Supercell’s Terms of Service and Fair Play guidelines forbid buying, selling, sharing, or giving away game accounts. If Supercell detects that an account was sold or shared, they reserve the right to ban it. That means even if you paid and received login info, the account can be permanently closed. (Supercell)
4. Big risk #2 — Scams and chargebacks
Common scams include:
-
Seller takes money, then disappears and does not send credentials.
-
Seller “pulls back” the account after sale by using linked email or Supercell ID protections.
-
Payment disputes or chargebacks: buyer pays with card or PayPal, then disputes the charge later — the marketplace will usually side with the buyer and the seller can lose the account or money.
Community posts and many buyers’ reports show that even “trusted” sellers sometimes result in losses or pulled-back accounts. Always assume a non-zero chance of scam when buying accounts. (Reddit)
5. Big risk #3 — Permanent bans and no refunds
If Supercell flags an account for rule violation (selling, buying, account sharing), they may ban it permanently. Many players report that once banned for account selling, getting the account back is very difficult or impossible. Marketplaces’ “warranties” are not the same as Supercell returning your account. (Reddit)
6. How sellers try to reduce buyer risk (and why it’s not perfect)
Some marketplaces claim to reduce risk by:
-
Verifying sellers and offering “trade protection.”
-
Providing short guarantees (e.g., 7–14 days) for account access.
-
Delivering credentials via their platform to reduce direct contact.
Problems remain: platform protection can stop some scams, but if Supercell bans the account later, the platform often cannot restore the account or give a full refund. The underlying rule (Supercell forbids transfers) still creates a single point of failure. (PlayerAuctions)
7. Practical checks if you still consider buying
If you decide to proceed despite the risks (not recommended), consider these checks to reduce—but not eliminate—risk:
-
Use only established marketplaces with buyer protection and many positive reviews. (PlayerAuctions)
-
Check seller reputation: long history, lots of successful trades, and verifiable feedback. (Reddit)
-
Ask for proof: recent screenshots, videos of gameplay, or live access to show the account is active and not already linked to someone else. (Eloboost24)
-
Avoid direct payments to unknown sellers (use platform escrow where available). (g2g.com)
-
Keep expectations realistic: marketplaces often offer short warranty windows and won’t protect you from Supercell enforcement. (GameBoost)
8. How sellers sometimes “pull back” accounts
A common scam: seller sells the account but keeps control of the original linked email or Supercell ID. After sale, seller uses the email to reclaim or lock the account, or uses support/chargebacks to cause problems. Changing email or protection can be delayed or blocked by Supercell’s security, making immediate full transfer difficult. Community threads warn buyers about this exact issue. (Reddit)
9. Safer alternatives (my strong recommendation)
-
Start a fresh account and use guides to speed progress—this avoids bans and scams.
-
Boosting services / coaching: pay for coaching or playboosting (where a trusted player helps you progress while you keep ownership) instead of account purchase. This keeps you inside the rules.
-
Join active clans and ask experienced players for tips to grow faster.
These routes cost time or money but keep your account safe from bans and scams. (Supercell)
10. Final short checklist before any purchase
-
Do you understand Supercell forbids account sales? (If yes, reconsider.) (Supercell)
-
Is the seller on a large, reputable marketplace with escrow? (Safer but not risk-free.) (g2g.com)
-
Are you willing to accept the chance of a permanent ban or total loss of money? (If not, don’t buy.) (Reddit)
Conclusion — What I recommend
Buying a Clash of Clans account can look tempting, but it carries real, common risks: rule violations by Supercell leading to bans, scams and account pullbacks, and marketplace limitations. If you value the money you spend and want long-term access, the safer path is to level up legitimately, use coaching/boosting services, or trade only on very reputable platforms understanding that risk still exists. If you still choose to buy, use escrow, verify the seller deeply, and accept the chance of loss.
