How it works
App and game developers post one-time redeem codes here. You sign in with Google, choose a giveaway and get a code that unlocks the app or item for free in its store.
Getting a code
- Sign in with your Google account. That's your one identity on the site.
- Open a giveaway. Each one works in one of three ways:
- First come, first served: press Claim my code and it's yours immediately.
- Developer picks: ask for a code, optionally with a note. If the developer approves you, your code appears.
- Random draw: enter before the end date. Winners are drawn at random.
- Exchange a key: enter the key the developer gave you, such as the order number of an earlier purchase or a secret phrase, and get a code right away.
- Redeem the code in the store. Every code comes with a direct link and steps for Google Play, the App Store or Steam.
Questions
- Why only one code per person?
- So that codes reach as many real people as possible. The rule is built into the site's database, so it can't be bypassed by clicking twice or opening several tabs.
- Can I use more than one Google account?
- No. Using several accounts to collect extra codes breaks the terms, and those accounts can be suspended. Developers also see when several requests come from the same internet connection.
- My key isn't accepted. Why?
- Check it for typos; capital letters and extra spaces don't matter. Some keys work only once, so a key that was already exchanged can't be used again. For security, you can try 10 times per hour.
- Where do I find my codes later?
- In My codes. Codes stay there, but each one only works once, and some expire, so redeem them soon.
- My code didn't work. What now?
- On the code, choose "This code didn't work". The developer sees the report, and if several people report the same giveaway, it pauses itself for a check. We can't issue replacement codes, because only the developer can create them.
- Is it really free?
- Yes. Codes on this site are never sold. If anyone asks you to pay for a code from here, please tell us at support@theredeemcodes.com.
- How do I know the developer is real?
- Before posting codes, every developer proves they own the store listing, either with a file on the website shown on that listing or with a token in its description. Apps from stores we can't check automatically are approved by hand.
- I'm a developer. How do I start?
- See the developer page, then open the dashboard.
