League of Legends is a free-to-play game. You can climb the ranks, master the champions, and experience the Rift without spending a single cent. But then... You see it. That perfect skin for your main. Suddenly, that free game didn't feel quite complete without it. Fast forward a few months or years, and your virtual wardrobe might rival that of a famous pop star.
But, have you ever stopped mid-match, admiring your K/DA Ahri or PROJECT Vayne, with a thought: "I wonder how much money I’ve spent on these skins?" or "How much money have I spent in League of Legends over the years?"
It's a question that haunts many a Summoner. Perhaps it's pure curiosity driving you. Perhaps you're trying to budget more effectively, or maybe you need a reality check. Good news, though: finding out is surprisingly straightforward, directly through Riot Games themselves. Forget dodgy third-party sites; let's stick to the official source.
Why Check Your League of Legends Spending?
Before we get to the 'how', let's touch on the 'why'. Seeing the total money spent on LoL can be illuminating. For some, it’s a badge of dedication to League of Legends, showcasing years of enjoyment and support for the game and its developers. However, for others, it's a wake-up call, a number that prompts a re-evaluation of their in-game spending.
Remember, every purchase contributes to that total. For example, Riot Points (RP) to grab that new skin, buying event passes for epic loot, or picking up Hextech Chests hoping for a lucky drop. And, while League of Legends remains fundamentally free to play, these optional in-game cosmetics and conveniences are how Riot Games keeps the servers running, wages paid, and the updates flowing. Nevertheless, knowing how much money you have spent gives you a clearer picture of your investment in the game.
How to Check How Much Money You've Spent on LoL
Method #1: The Direct Support Page Link
Ready for the moment of truth? Riot Games provides a dedicated support page specifically for this purpose. No need to sift through years of bank statements or rely on questionable external tools. Here’s how to check how much money you have spent:
- Head to the Source: Navigate to the official How Much Money Have I Spent in League of Legends support article.
- Log In: You'll need to log into the League of Legends account you're curious about, so make sure you're logging into the correct region's support site.
- Find the Spending Section: Once logged in, look for the section related to account queries or purchases. Often, you can simply search the support site for "How much money have I spent in LoL?". Riot usually maintains a specific article or tool for you to see how much money you've spent.
- Follow the Instructions: The old "Show Me the Money" button no longer displays your total. Instead, the article directs you to submit a ticket to Player Support, as described in Method #2 below.
Riot still makes this information available to players who want to know how much they’ve invested, but the instant lookup has been replaced by a support request, which is covered in Method #2.
Method #2: Using the Support Ticket System
The instant "Show Me the Money" button from Method #1 no longer returns a total. Riot's official process now goes through the support ticket system, and a Player Support agent replies with your spending.
- Go to Riot Support: Navigate to the main League of Legends Support page for your region.
- Log In: Sign in with your Riot account credentials.
- Initiate a Request: Locate and click the "Submit a Ticket" or "Submit a Request" option.
- Select Request Type: From the first dropdown menu (often labelled "Choose a Request Type" or similar), select the category related to "Account Management, Data Requests, or Deletion", then choose your platform (PC, Xbox, or PlayStation).
- Specify Inquiry: Another dropdown menu should appear. Select "Formal Personal Data Request".
- Detail Secondary Inquiry: A final dropdown related to your specific data request will appear. Select "I want to know how much money I've spent with Riot Games".
- Submit the Ticket: Fill out the subject and description boxes, then submit the ticket.
- See Your Spending: A Player Support agent will review your request and reply with the total amount of real money spent on that account. Riot doesn't publish a set response time, so it may take a little while.
This is now Riot's official way to find out how much you’ve spent, so it's the method to rely on.
What Does the Number Mean?
Okay, you've got the figure. Maybe it’s higher than you expected, maybe lower. What does this number actually represent?
Mainly, this figure reflects the real-world money you've used to purchase Riot Points, the game's premium in-game currency. It also includes direct real-money purchases of items such as starter packs or specific event bundles. This is the money you’ve spent on League directly, not externally on things like League of Legends boosting or accounts.
To sum up, the tool does not reflect money spent in other ways or the value gained, for instance:
- Region Lock: The amount shown applies to your current region and may not accurately reflect your spending if you have transferred your account between areas (e.g., from EUW to NA). You would need to check spending on each regional account separately, if applicable, across multiple accounts.
- Gifts: Money spent by friends gifting you skins or RP won't show up in your total (but it will in theirs, so you might want to know how much you’ve spent)!
- Non-RP Currencies: Items acquired using Blue Essence (earned through gameplay) or during events like the Essence Emporium don't count towards this real money total.
- Promotional Items: Codes redeemed or promotional items obtained outside of direct purchases are not typically included.
So, the number you see is specifically the money you've spent in League via purchases made with real-life money through your account in its current region. It's your direct financial contribution to your League of Legends experience, mainly for those cosmetic items, the character skins, ward skins, emotes, and chromas that let you personalize your OTP on the Rift.
What About Third-Party Checkers?
You might stumble upon websites claiming to check your League of Legends spending; however, tread very carefully. These sites are not affiliated with Riot Games and often require you to enter your account details, posing a significant security risk, similar to phishing scams. Furthermore, their calculations are usually inaccurate, and the scraped data is unreliable. Stick to the official Riot Support page; it's secure, accurate, and sanctioned by the creators themselves.
Final Thoughts
Knowing how much money you’ve spent on LoL is less about judgment and more about awareness. League of Legends offers countless hours of entertainment for free, and choosing to buy LoL skins or other in-game cosmetics is a personal choice to improve that experience or simply support the developers. Now that you know how to check your spending, why not take a look?
