Tired of seeing the text “Sorry, this product is not available in your region” in front of you? Tired of uncertainty and frustrated by the inability to buy the desired game at a discount or on sale? In this article, we have found a solution for gamers who are not ready to put up with regional restrictions on games.
The question of how to buy games in conditions of restrictions that do not allow using the usual payment methods is extremely acute. And even if this problem can be solved, many projects are simply not available to users from the Russian Federation. There are many services through which you can buy activation keys, but in this case it is easy to stumble upon scammers and lose money or an account.
Sorry, this product is not available in your region (Steam) - what should I do?
When trying to buy a game, users from Russia in 2024 are increasingly coming across the alert "This product is currently not available in your region" or "Sorry, this product is not available in your region" and the like. All this is due to regional restrictions, because the developers / publishers of these games have decided to close their games for the Russian Federation.
Using a foreign IP address will not solve problems due to the ban on paying with Russian bank cards and rubles, and in some cases you can also get banned for changing the region.
Sorry, this product is not available in your region (Epic Games Store) - what should I do?
The story is similar with EGS - the platform in question has also closed access to many projects for users whose account is registered in Russia or Belarus. A foreign IP will not help get rid of the unfortunate notification: it is impossible to pay for new and even old projects with a Russian bank card. Changing the region by contacting technical support can even lead to a disastrous outcome without a “good” reason, namely blocking.
Therefore, the method of buying games banned in Russia for Steam will be analyzed further, Epic Games Store and to other platforms.

How to buy games blocked in Russia
If you want to pre-order, purchase a game or currency, but are unsure which store to give preference to, you can use the platform Difmark. We have personally reviewed the process of buying games and will describe in detail below.
To begin with, before buying, it is important to make sure for which region the key is intended. Since this service is global, it may contain products only for activation in certain countries. But often games are presented for global region, which means that they are available to everyone (players from Russia and other CIS countries need to buy the global version).
The interface of the site is quite friendly and intuitive. Available features:
- Language selection;
- Currency change;
- Login and registration (you can use social networks or mailboxes).
- Below are all possible options for choosing a game, replenishing game currency, points for a huge number of platforms (including console projects) and software.
It should be noted that there is also 30 days warrantyfor additional security. themselves activation keys arrive within minutes of purchase and payment.
Each seller on the page has a built-in chat where you can contact if you have any difficulties or questions. It also contains all the information about how many sellers are on the site, the sales success rate and what reviews. We recommend that you read all relevant information before purchasing.
How to pay for the purchase of the game
The site offers a variety of payment methods to choose from, including:
- Visa and Mastercard cards;
- Webmoney;
- QIWI and more.
We used Qiwi payment, as this is the most convenient way. If a profile has not yet been created there, we recommend that you read the instructions.
How to create a wallet in QiWi for payment (click to open)
Well hello
To use the necessary functions of the wallet, you need to make its status "the main". But first, let's register an account. Follow these steps:
- Open Qiwi official website or install the app.
- On the main page, click on "create wallet”: enter the current phone number, confirm the code and create a password (it is advisable to write it down right away).
- After you have successfully logged into your account, you must upgrade wallet status. Immediately after registration, a window appears asking you to provide passport data - this will allow you to immediately go to the desired page. Another option: click on the profile icon in the upper right corner and select "raise status».
- Next, a tab will open where you need to click on "get main status". Here you will need to specify the data from the passport, or you can simply confirm all the information through the State Services.
- Replenish your wallet with the required amount by choosing the desired payment method (the most convenient is a bank card, from the phone balance).
If you do everything right, the funds will instantly go to your account, and you can freely use the wallet.
How to activate the game
After paying for the game, a “ticket” is created with an application, the process of confirming payment takes up to five minutes.
After that, the order is considered completed and it becomes possible "Download". We click on the button and download the archive, which will contain the key to activate the game on Steam, EGS or on any other platform.
Unpack the archive:
How to activate the key on Steam
To access the panel for entering the key, you must:
- Open the launcher and expand the "Games" tab located in the upper left corner.

Hello! And can you tell me, maybe there was an experience, WoW Classic for the Russian region can generally be paid for, or an account registered in the Russian Federation cannot be paid at all now?
I bought the long-awaited dbd, but the key has not arrived for 30 minutes. Everything is accepted and paid for, but the key is still missing.. Is such a delay normal?
Possibly a technical issue. Try to write to the seller in feedback or contact the TP. Usually everything comes within 5-10 minutes
Bought a game recently. Delivered and helped install. I personally like it.
Rzhu from the words of the author about the technical support of Difmark ...
Application ID 79982, opened on January 31, 2022, everything is scheduled, everything is detailed, the seller of DF-keys does not respond ... as well as Difmark's technical support
The support service has already responded, and is waiting in the chat or in the telegram. The order has been delivered, you can find it on the "My Orders" page or in a chat with the seller.
I confirm that at 15:03 on 02.02.2023/31.12.2022/XNUMX, that is, today, they answered me and, as I understand it, it was after your appeal. Once again, the application dated XNUMX/XNUMX/XNUMX, which was answered a month later and then, after contacting the affiliate program ... smart technical support, to be sure.
By the way, they refuse to resolve the issue, I have a screen of a product (specifically, Total War Warhammer 3), where the activation region was CIS, EU (now only EU), although they do not claim that supposedly at the time of my purchase there was no CIS ... they just regret that there are such bad people in SEGA, but sooner or later everything will work out and I can safely use this key, they say, as soon as it will be active in CIS again ...
Everything is gorgeous, I recommend Difmark to everyone, and if anything, contact their technical support {ironic/sarcasm}
Ps: and yes, I have a typo in my very first post, an application to Difmark from December, not January, an application a little more than a month ... not Russian post, but also, so-so
As I understand it, the profit here is minimal in creating a new acc, because the Waha series is directly tied to the purchase of the entire series and add-ons earlier
