How Much Money Have You Spent on League of Legends?

Riot Games has an official page that tells you exactly how much money you spent on LoL, down to the dollar. The whole process takes about 60 seconds and doesn’t require you to download anything or hand over your login to a sketchy third-party site. Your number includes every RP purchase, skin, event pass, and gifted content tied to your account in its current region.

I checked mine last week on EUW. I was expecting maybe $200 since I only buy the occasional event pass and a legendary skin here and there. The number was $847. That stung a bit, not gonna lie. The thing about League spending is that it sneaks up on you over years. A $10 RP top-up every few weeks doesn’t feel like much until you see the total after 6 years of playing.

Below I’m covering the exact steps to use Riot’s spending tracker, a backup method if that page is down, current RP prices for 2026, what your total actually includes (and what it misses), how to check your playtime, and a spending calculator you can mess around with right here on the page.

Already checked how much money you spent on LoL with Riot? Or maybe the page is down for maintenance (happens a lot on patch days)? Use our calculator below. Enter your exact total from Riot’s page to see fun comparisons, estimate your spending by how many skins you own, track RP purchases manually, or figure out how much you’ve been burning per month.

Check How Much Money You Spent on LoL (Official Method)

Riot’s “Show Me the Money” tool pulls your total directly from their database. It’s instant, no ticket wait time needed. Here’s how to get your number:

1. Go to the Riot Games LoL Support page in your browser.
2. Click Sign In in the top right. Use the same Riot account you play League with.
3. In the “Choose a request type” dropdown, pick Account Management, Data Request, or Deletion.
4. Under “Please select your inquiry,” choose Formal Personal Data Request.
5. A second dropdown appears. Select I want to know how much money I’ve spent with Riot Games.
6. A big red button shows up that says “Show Me the Money”. Click it.
7. Your total appears on screen right away. No waiting for emails or support tickets.

That’s it. Your number pops up right there. One thing to know: that total is locked to one account on one server. Got a smurf on EUW and a main on NA? Two separate totals. Riot won’t combine them for you. You gotta check each one and do the addition yourself like it’s Season 3 math class.

This video walks through the exact process of checking your spending on Riot’s support page:

What Counts as Money Spent on LoL (and What Doesn’t)

Riot’s tracker counts every transaction that pulled real money from your payment method through the League client on your current server. When you check how much money you spent on LoL, here’s what goes into that number:

Included in Your Total	NOT Included
RP top-ups ($5 to $100 bundles)	Physical merch from the Riot Store
Skins bought with RP (all tiers)	Third-party purchases or key sites
Champions unlocked with RP	RP gifts you received from friends
Event passes and bundles	Purchases on a different server region
Hextech chests, keys, orbs	Pre-transfer purchases if you switched regions
Emotes, icons, ward skins	Garena-era transactions (SEA pre-2023)
Name changes and server transfers	TFT mobile purchases (separate billing)
Chromas and bundles	Valorant Points (separate game, same account)
Skins and RP you gifted to others	Riot gift cards (may show as $0 in some cases)

One thing that confuses people: gifts you sent count toward your total because the money came from your wallet. Gifts you received don’t, since your friend paid for those.

Why Your Total Might Look Wrong

Saw a number that feels way too low? Like you KNOW you bought that Elementalist Lux and three event passes last year but the total says $47? Yeah, there are a few reasons for that.

Region transfers mess things up. I transferred from NA to EUW back in 2022 and my EUW total showed $0 on day one. All my NA purchases? Gone from the tracker. They still exist in Riot’s system somewhere, but the tool doesn’t pull them. You’d have to open a support ticket and specifically ask them to check your old region.

Garena accounts are a mess. If you played in Southeast Asia before 2023, your account lived on Garena servers. Riot took those over, migrated everyone’s accounts, but the spending data came through spotty at best. Some players lost years of purchase history in the transition. Nothing you can really do about it except contact support and hope they can dig up the records.

Alt accounts. Each account is its own island. Your main might show $600 and your smurf shows $150, but nowhere does it say $750. That math is on you.

What If the Show Me the Money Page Is Down?

Classic Riot. The spending page breaks during patches. Like clockwork. The old direct URL has been sitting on “under construction” since June 2024 and honestly I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for it to come back. The support ticket path I described above is the one that actually works in 2026.

But say even THAT is down. Two fallbacks:

Just email them. Open a normal support ticket on the same site. Pick “Account Management, Data Request, or Deletion” and write something like “I want to know my total lifetime spending across all regions.” Riot usually gets back to you within a day. Sometimes they include a breakdown by category too, which is kind of cool (and kind of painful).

Dig through your inbox or bank app. Search your email for “Riot Games” or “RP purchase.” Every transaction sends a receipt. Or open your bank app and filter for “RIOTGAME.” It’s tedious as hell but you’ll get exact numbers per transaction.

RP Prices in 2026: What Your Money Buys in LoL

Once you know how much money you spent on LoL, the next question is usually “where did it all go?” RP pricing gives you that context. Here’s the current rate card for NA (USD):

RP Amount	Price (USD)	RP per Dollar	Best For
650 RP	$5.00	130 RP/$	Single chroma or cheap emote
1,380 RP	$10.00	138 RP/$	One epic skin (1,350 RP)
2,800 RP	$20.00	140 RP/$	Legendary skin + leftover
5,000 RP	$35.00	143 RP/$	Event pass + a skin
7,200 RP	$50.00	144 RP/$	Multiple skins or a bundle
15,000 RP	$100.00	150 RP/$	Best value per point

The math is clear. $5 gets you 130 RP per dollar. $100 gets you 150. That 15% difference in value per point is exactly why Riot structures it this way. They want you to think “well if I’m gonna buy RP anyway, might as well get the bigger bundle.” And then you’ve dropped $100 on a free game on a random Tuesday.

Oh, and Riot jacked up RP prices across most regions in September 2024. Europe and Latin America got hit hardest. Their official explanation mentioned currency fluctuations and inflation, but they also straight up said they were cracking down on people using VPNs to buy RP from cheaper regions. That trick is dead now.

Where the Biggest Charges Come From

After you see how much money you spent on LoL and the number is higher than expected, it almost always traces back to three categories.

Skins. This is the big one for most players. A standard 975 RP skin is about $7.50. Legendary skins at 1,820 RP run around $14. Ultimate skins hit $25. And the exalted skins Riot introduced in 2025 use a gacha system where you roll until you get the one you want. Some players on Reddit have reported dropping $200+ chasing a single exalted skin. For a skin. One character model with fancy effects.

Event passes. These show up every major event at around 1,650 RP ($12-13). Worlds, Lunar New Year, Star Guardian, big champion launches. If you buy every pass, that’s roughly $80 to $100 per year on passes alone. And most people buy RP on top of the pass to grab event-exclusive skins too.

Hextech and Sanctum gambling. Riot added the Sanctum in 2024 with its Ancient Sparks mechanic. You buy sparks and drop them on skins you want, gacha style. It’s designed to make you spend more than you planned. The old hextech chests worked the same way on a smaller scale. Orbs, keys, rerolls, all of it adds up without you noticing because each individual purchase is “only” a few hundred RP.

How Much Money Does the Average LoL Player Spend?

Riot doesn’t publish this number (wonder why). But we can back into it. They pulled around $1.5 billion from League in 2023. Their own 2024 dev update mentioned 10 to 12 million daily active players. Quick division puts the average somewhere around $125 to $150 per paying player per year. That said, a massive chunk of the playerbase spends exactly $0, which drags the average way down. The real “average spender” number is probably closer to $200 to $300 per year.

Reddit surveys and Discord polls give a better picture of what people actually spend:

Spending Tier	Lifetime Total	Profile
Free-to-play	$0	Never bought RP, earns everything through Blue Essence
Casual buyer	$20 to $100	Bought RP once or twice for a specific skin
Regular spender	$100 to $500	Buys event passes, picks up skins for mains
Skin collector	$500 to $2,000	Owns 100+ skins, buys most event passes
Whale	$2,000 to $5,000	Owns most available skins, buys every pass
Mega whale	$5,000+	Owns nearly everything, chases every prestige and exalted skin

I’ve seen screenshots on r/leagueoflegends of people posting $8,000+ totals. One person claimed $14,000 over 12 years. At that point you’re basically funding a small development team at Riot by yourself.

How Much Time (and Money) I Spent on LoL

Money is half the equation. Time is the other half, and honestly it might be the scarier number. Riot doesn’t give you a lifetime hours counter anywhere in the client. Suspicious? A little. The stats tab shows your current season and maybe a couple past ones if you click through the dropdown. But a total since you created the account? Nope.

wol.gg (Wasted on LoL) fills that gap. The site hooks into Riot’s match history API, pulls every game you’ve played, and estimates your total hours based on average game length. Just go there, pick your region, drop in your Summoner Name or Riot ID, press enter. Done. It ranks you against millions of other players too, which is either fun or depressing depending on your result.

They’ve got data on 8 million+ accounts at this point. Average playtime across all of them? Around 830 hours. That’s 35 straight days on the Rift. I checked mine and it was over 1,200 hours. Could’ve learned to play piano. Didn’t.

Fair warning: wol.gg is an estimate. A 15-minute FF at 15 and a 50-minute slugfest both count as “one game” but obviously aren’t the same time commitment. And if you played a ton in Seasons 1 through 3, a lot of that match data just doesn’t exist in Riot’s current API anymore. Your real number is probably higher.

If you’re curious about your ranked stats and time breakdowns per champion, League of Graphs tracks that kind of data with more granularity than the client provides.

Spent Too Much on LoL? Refund Options

Can you get money back? Kinda. The system is more limited than you’d hope.

Getting actual cash back: You bought RP but haven’t touched it? You’ve got 14 days to request a real money refund through a support ticket. The moment you spend even 1 RP from that bundle, the cash refund option is gone. Fourteen days. That’s the window.

Getting RP back (not cash): Every account starts with three refund tokens. You can return a skin or champion and get the RP refunded to your balance. Rules: the item can’t be used (no games played with that skin), and the purchase has to be within the last 90 days. Three tokens, ever. Riot gives one back per year if you’re below three, but don’t count on having a stash of them.

So no, you can’t undo years of spending with refund tokens. The system exists for when you fat-finger a purchase or your little brother buys Star Guardian Urgot on your account. Not for “I just realized I spent $2,000 on a free game and I want it back.” That ship has sailed.

How to Spend Less on LoL Going Forward

Look, I’m not your mom. Buy whatever skins you want. But if that spending total hit harder than you expected, here’s what actually works.

Cap yourself at $10 or $20 a month on RP. Put it in your budget like you would Netflix or Spotify. When that month’s budget is gone, it’s gone. No “just one more purchase” because a prestige skin dropped. That’s how $200 months happen.

Your Shop events are free money. Well, free discounts. Riot runs them a few times a year and offers you skins at 20 to 60% off based on champs you actually play. Way better than buying at full price on impulse.

Stay away from the Sanctum rolls. Ancient Sparks are literally designed to drain your RP. The whole mechanic is built around “just one more spin.” If you want a specific exalted skin, set a hard limit before you start rolling. Hit the limit? Close the client. Walk away. I promise the skin will feel less important 24 hours later.

Also, never ever buy a champion with RP. That’s a trap for new players. Blue Essence exists. You earn it just by playing. It takes longer, sure, but spending $8 worth of RP on a champion you’ll play three times is a terrible deal.

And if you need a smurf account for ranked practice, a ready-made level 30 account is way cheaper than manually buying champs and skins on a fresh alt.

Why Third-Party Checker Sites Are a Scam

I’ll keep this short. Any website that says “enter your Riot login and we’ll show you how much you spent” is trying to steal your account. Every single one. I don’t care how legit the UI looks or how many fake testimonials they have on the page.

Here’s why it’s always a scam: Riot doesn’t expose spending data through any public API. There is literally no way for an external site to pull how much money you spent on LoL. They can’t do what they’re promising. What they CAN do is grab your username and password when you type it in. And they will.

Saw someone on r/leagueoflegends last month who lost a $3,000+ account to one of these sites. Clicked a link from a random Discord server. Entered credentials. Account gone within the hour. Don’t be that person.

Only riotgames.com and support-leagueoflegends.riotgames.com. Anything else? Ignore it. And while you’re at it, turn on two-factor auth on your Riot account if you haven’t. Go to your account settings and flip that switch today.

How Much Money I Spent on LoL: What Your Number Means

Two types of people click that red button. Type 1 sees their total, thinks “honestly not that bad,” and buys another skin that same night. Type 2 stares at a four-digit number and starts doing math they didn’t ask for.

Here’s a reality check that might help either camp. Say you played 2,000 hours over 6 years and spent $500 total. That’s $0.25 per hour. A movie? $15 for two hours. That’s $7.50/hr. A new AAA game at $60 that gives you maybe 30 hours? $2/hr. League, even with hundreds of dollars in skins, is genuinely one of the cheapest entertainment options per hour. Math doesn’t lie.

But math can also be a cope. If buying RP is starting to feel less like “I want that skin” and more like you can’t NOT buy it, that’s different. Riot built their whole store to make spending feel painless. Real money turns into RP, RP turns into skins. Two layers between your bank account and the purchase. It’s on purpose. Seeing your actual total in dollars cuts through that fog.

Honestly, if you spend your time setting up quick cast properly and actually grinding ranked instead of browsing the skin store between games, you’ll probably spend less naturally. Once you’re focused on LP gains, cosmetics stop mattering as much. At least that’s how it went for me after I hit Diamond.

FAQ

How do I check how much money I spent on LoL?

Go to the Riot Games support page, log in with your Riot account, select “I want to know how much money I’ve spent with Riot Games” in the dropdown, and click the red “Show Me the Money” button. Your total spending appears instantly.

Does the Riot spending tool show gift purchases?

It shows money you spent gifting skins or RP to others. It does not show gifts you received from friends, since those came out of their wallet, not yours.

Why does my LoL spending total seem too low?

The tracker only counts purchases in your current region. If you transferred servers, old-region purchases won’t appear. Garena-migrated accounts from Southeast Asia also tend to show incomplete data.

Can I get a refund on RP purchases in League of Legends?

Yes, but with conditions. Unspent RP can be refunded within 14 days of purchase. For in-game items, the content must be unused and purchased within the last 14 days, or you can use a refund token for items bought 14 to 90 days ago.

How much does the average League of Legends player spend?

Community surveys and Riot’s revenue data suggest the average sits around $100 to $120 per year for players who buy RP. Skin collectors and heavy spenders can go well past $1,000 to $5,000 over a few years.

Is there a way to check how much time I spent playing LoL?

Riot doesn’t offer a lifetime hours counter. The best third-party option is wol.gg, which uses Riot’s API to estimate your total playtime based on match history.

Are third-party LoL spending checker websites safe?

No. Any website that asks for your Riot login credentials to show your spending is a phishing risk. Only use Riot’s official support page. It is the only safe and accurate way to check your total.
