The coin refund trick is one of the most dangerous pieces of advice circulating in eFootball communities. We explain exactly what happens and why this will get you permanently banned.
The most common "refund trick" is initiating a bank chargeback. Konami's system detects this instantly and permanently bans the account — you lose everything.
eFootball's terms of service explicitly state coin purchases are non-refundable
Chargebacks trigger Konami's anti-fraud system and result in immediate permanent account termination
"Refund trick" sites are credential theft operations — not legitimate refund processors
App Store or Play Store refund disputes for virtual currency are rarely successful and also risk account bans
Repeated chargebacks can affect your payment method's standing across all platforms
Warning: Never attempt a chargeback for eFootball coins. You will lose your entire account permanently. There is no recovery from a ban triggered by chargebacks.
The real consequences behind the "coin refund trick" myth:
eFootball's terms explicitly state all coin purchases are final. Coins are a virtual currency — consumer protection laws in most regions do not require refunds on virtual goods spent in-game.
Konami's anti-fraud system flags chargebacks instantly. The account linked to the payment method is permanently terminated — losing all coins, players, and progress permanently.
Repeated chargebacks can result in your PayPal, credit card, or App Store account being flagged for fraud, impacting your ability to make future purchases across all platforms.
Sites claiming to know a "Konami refund trick" require your account details to "process the refund." They steal your account and sell it — no refund is ever processed.
These options give you real value without risking your account.
If a purchase fails but you were charged, contact Konami Support with your transaction ID. Genuine billing errors are resolved through official channels.
If you purchased through the App Store or Google Play, their consumer protection policies may apply for unauthorized charges — not for coins you chose to spend.
To avoid "wasting" coins on packs with bad luck, save for guaranteed player selector campaigns that let you choose a specific player.
Instead of spending coins and hoping, buy a verified account with coins and players already inside from efootballmarket.com.
Konami's terms of service state that coin purchases are non-refundable. In rare cases involving technical errors, support may assist, but they do not refund coins spent on packs by design.
Initiating a chargeback through your bank or payment provider for eFootball coin purchases will result in a permanent account ban. Konami actively monitors for chargebacks and terminates associated accounts immediately.
No. The "trick" usually refers to doing chargebacks, which results in a permanent ban. Some versions are credential-theft scams where you enter your account details believing you will receive refunded coins.
