Is Buying
OSRS gold
Legal?
Technically, buying gold is against Jagex's rules. Their official stance is that any form of real-world trading (RWT) is a bannable offense. That said, gold buying remains prevalent, and bans are rare when using reputable sellers with discreet delivery methods.
Still, risk mitigation is key. If you're buying gold, you must:
Use a trusted site with a proven track record.
Avoid trading with level 3 mules in obvious hotspots like Lumbridge or Varrock.
Don't advertise your purchase in-game.
Make the trade in a safe and random location, ideally with a plausible cover story.
Qualities of a Trustworthy OSRS Gold Seller
When evaluating gold sellers, these are the most important factors:
1. Reputation and Reviews
Always choose a seller with positive customer reviews on platforms like Trustpilot, Reddit, and Discord communities. A well-established reputation is the number one indicator of safety.
2. Fast Delivery Times
You don't want to wait hours (or worse, days) to get your gold. The best sellers complete trades within 5–15 minutes of payment confirmation.
3. Secure Transactions
Encrypted websites, secure payment methods (PayPal, crypto, Stripe), and non-invasive identity verification are signs of a professional operation.
4. Responsive Customer Support
If something goes wrong, live chat support should be available. Look for 24/7 assistance — especially useful for global players.
5. Competitive Pricing
You want fair rates without getting scammed. Dirt-cheap

may be tempting, but it usually comes with high risks. Reputable sellers strike a balance between affordability and security.
