How to redeem your Battle.net key step by step, with the region rules, the account it binds to, and the pitfall that catches most buyers out.
How to redeem the code
- Sign in on battle.net and open the account area.
- Enter the key under 'Redeem a code'.
- The Battle.net desktop app holds the same entry in its account menu.
Region and account
Battle.net accounts belong to one region, meaning Americas, Europe or Asia. A key from another region is rejected, and the region on your account cannot simply be switched.
A free Battle.net account is enough. For some titles Blizzard also asks for a phone number on the account.
A common pitfall
Balance codes and game time codes look like game keys but unlock no game at all.
