Riot Points (RP) in League of Legends: What They Are, How Much They Cost, and How to Buy Them
Riot Points (RP) are the premium currency in League of Legends. Players use them to buy cosmetic items, battle passes, and other additional content. While Blue Essence is used to unlock champions, League of Legends RP is intended for purchases in the in-game store. You can top up your balance with various amounts, after which Riot Points are credited to your account. The number of RP depends on the selected package and your account’s region.
What You Can Buy with Riot Points
The primary use of RP is to purchase cosmetic items. You can use Riot Points to purchase champion skins, Battle Passes, champion and skin bundles, emotes, icons, and wards, skin color variants (chromes), as well as certain items during limited-time in-game events.
Riot Points do not provide any advantages in matches and do not affect champion stats. They are used solely to purchase additional content.
How to Top Up RP in Russia
Since Riot Games withdrew from the Russian market, it is no longer possible to purchase Riot Points directly using Russian bank cards. However, players from Russia can top up their balance using other methods: Riot gift cards, international payment methods, and specialized game account top-up services.
Below, we’ll break down how to buy League of Legends RP in Russia, where it’s safest to buy Riot Points, and what to look out for before topping up your account.
Topping Up with a Gift Card
A gift card is essentially a top-up for any amount, just like usual, but instead of buying RP directly, you purchase a digital code.
- Buy a gift card from sellers on digital marketplaces.
- Get the activation code.
- Go to the official code redemption page and log in to your account.
- Enter the code and click “Activate.”
RP is usually credited to your account immediately, but sometimes it can take 1–3 hours for the funds to appear. If the code has expired, contact the seller or reach out to Riot Games support.
How Much Do Riot Points Cost?
Prices for RP vary across different digital marketplaces. On average, one RP costs about 30–50 kopecks, and bundles of 575 RP range from 400 to 600 rubles. 6,500 RP cost between 4,000 and 4,500 rubles.
Where to buy Riot Points
Visit a major digital marketplace and find a service that sells RP individually or in bundles. They’re usually purchased using a digital key, meaning you won’t need to share any personal information or a password to make the purchase.
Make sure the seller has a high number of sales, as well as positive reviews written at different times and in different styles. If you’re asked to provide your username and password to complete the purchase, be sure to change them after the transaction is complete. Do not leave the platform, even if the seller asks you to make a purchase outside of it via Telegram or other social media—they are most likely a scammer.
