- How We Score
The LegitBoost Method, Step by Step
Every rating on this site begins the same way: an order paid for out of our own budget, placed from an ordinary account, logged from the checkout screen to the moment the work stopped. That count stands at 312 purchases. The table gets re-audited every month, and the most recent pass closed on July 6, 2026. No service pays to appear here, and none of them can pay to move.
How the Score Is Built
A Trust Score runs from 0 to 100 and comes out of five inputs, each carrying a fixed weight that never changes between services. A polished support desk cannot quietly cover for careless credential handling, because the arithmetic is the same for everyone in the table. Safety and account handling takes the biggest share at 35 percent for a blunt reason: a refund can repair a late delivery, and nothing repairs a closed account.
| Input | Weighting | What we look at |
|---|---|---|
| Safety & account handling | 35% | Whether the session stays out of sight while someone else plays, whether access is routed through the player's own country, where the login sits and who can read it, how plainly the ToS risk is stated before payment, and what account hygiene the seller performs or recommends once access ends. |
| Finishing on time | 25% | Did the job we bought actually reach its end state, did work begin when we were told it would, and did the estimate survive contact with reality. Pauses, silent hand-offs to a second worker, and any gap between what the order page described and what landed on the account all get logged against this input. |
| Price honesty | 15% | The figure at checkout against the figure advertised, repeated price sweeps across ranks and hours to catch quiet adjustments, surcharges that only appear at the payment step, and whether the refund policy exists as written terms rather than as a promise typed into a chat window. |
| Verified customer feedback | 15% | Reviews we can tie to a purchase that really happened, filtered for astroturf and coordinated posting, and how the seller conducts itself in public when a complaint arrives. Distribution and pattern carry this input; sheer volume of praise barely moves it. |
| Talking to support | 10% | Speed and competence on tickets we opened as ordinary buyers with real problems, plus one deliberately awkward request per service that no canned reply can answer. |
Reading the Tiers
A finished number lands in one of four bands: Excellent covers 90 to 100, Good covers 75 to 89, Fair covers 60 to 74, and anything below 60 is recorded as Poor.
How We Verify Claims
- Paid, Logged, Timestamped. We buy like anyone else - our own cards, no press access, no courtesy code. Each of the 312 purchases carries a timestamped log covering checkout, first contact, the actual start, every pause, and the handover back to us. That log is what a rating gets argued from, which is why no service has ever talked a number upward after publication.
- After Access Ends. Closing the tab is not the end of the check. We pull the active session list, read the login locations and device entries, rotate credentials, and look for anything left behind - an added friend, an altered privacy setting, an authorised device still sitting there. Sellers who hand an account back clean, and say so without being asked, gain ground under the 35 percent input.
- Reading Review Distribution. An average star figure tells us almost nothing, so we read the shape of the distribution instead. Entries arriving in one burst with near-identical phrasing get flagged, as do duplicated texts across separate profiles and glowing accounts with no other posting history. What remains after that filter, together with how the seller replies to its worst reviews, feeds the 15 percent input.
Behind the Testing
Jason Merrill leads verification at Legit Boost. He moderated a 200k-member Discord before this, and that is where the working habit came from: read the complaint threads first, watch how a seller behaves while it is losing an argument, then place the order yourself and find out. He pays for the test purchases behind all 312 entries, keeps the logs, and runs the monthly re-audit that last closed on July 6, 2026.
No Paid Placements
Nobody buys a position on this site. Every order is funded from the same budget that pays for hosting, and four rules keep that arrangement honest:
- Affiliate links exist and we say so on the page, but commission never touches the ordering of the table or a single point of any Trust Score - scoring is finished before anyone looks up which links pay anything.
- Rankings are not merchandise. A rating cannot be bought, and an unflattering finding cannot be withdrawn, whatever is attached to the request.
- A service reads its own score at the same moment you do. There is no advance preview, no right of reply before publication, and no negotiation over wording.
- Test purchases are made anonymously from accounts that look like any other customer, so nothing receives a quiet upgrade because the seller recognised who was buying.
Report an Error
We get things wrong sometimes: a price shifts, a policy is rewritten, a support process changes the week after we tested it. If something here does not match what you find, email mail@legitboost.net with the page URL and what you believe is wrong. We check the claim against our order logs and the screenshots archived from that audit before a single figure on the page changes.
