Important Note: While you can gift RP directly, you cannot gift RP that you already own or other currencies such as Blue Essence or Orange Essence.
Gifting Through In-Game Store
The most common way to gift RP in League of Legends is through the in-game store. Here's how:
- Open the League of Legends client and log in.
- Click on the "Store" button in the top right corner.
- Click on the ‘’Gifting Center’’ Icon.

- Review your gift and click "Purchase" to complete the transaction.
The gifted item will be delivered to your friend's account immediately, and they will receive a notification about the gift.
Gifting Through Friend List
You can also gift items directly through your friends list. Here's how:
- Open the League of Legends client and log in.
- Check your friend list on the right side of the client.
- Find the friend you want to gift in your friends list and right-click on their name.
- Select "Gift" from the dropdown menu.
From there, it's the same steps as gifting through the in-game store.
Prepaid RP Cards
If you don't want to use a credit card online, you can purchase prepaid RP cards from sellers both online and offline.
These cards come with a code that can be redeemed for a set amount of RP in the League of Legends client.
- To gift RP using a prepaid card, simply purchase the card and give the code to your friend. They can then redeem the code in their account to receive the RP.
Prepaid RP cards are available in various amounts, typically ranging from $10 to $100, and can be purchased from the following:
When buying a prepaid RP card, make sure it works for your region and server, as some cards may be region-locked, especially in regions with cheaper RP prices.
Limits and Rules of Gifting

Level Requirements
- To send gifts, your account must be at least level 15.
- To receive gifts, your account must be at least level 5.
Daily Limits
The daily limit can vary depending on your account history and the stability of the expenses. Yet generally speaking, those limits are:

- You can’t receive or gift people that are on your friend list in less than 24 hours.
Unauthorized Gifting
Unauthorized gifting has 2 different ways, both are strictly prohibited by Riot and unethical.
- If your account gets stolen and then the RP gets spent, unfortunately, there are little too low cases in which Riot reverts the expenses that have been made on your account while you had no access to it.
- If you receive a gift from an unauthorized(Eg. Stolen Card) payment/ stolen account, your account also has the chance to get banned due to that situation. Contact Riot Games Support at instant in a scenario in which you get a gift from someone you don't know of on your friend list.
Can the Gifts be Reverted?
No, you cannot get the gift you have sent to someone reverted, and if you obtained a gift; there is no way for it to be taken back from you.
