The Assay Office

How KeyDwarf assays every source

Every listing carries a source label. KeyDwarf separates official stores, marketplaces, risky account-style listings, and unrated sources so low price never hides source quality.

The four tiers

From safest to riskiest. The label sits on every card, row, and alert.

Official stores

OfficialSafest

Publisher-sourced storefront listings such as Steam, GOG, Fanatical, Humble, Green Man Gaming, and similar official retailers.

11 indexed sources in this tier

What the label reflects

  • Publisher-sourced or direct storefront posture
  • Shorter chain of custody for keys
  • Checkout, refunds, and support still happen at the store

Marketplaces

MarketplaceVaries by seller

Third-party marketplace or retail key listings. These can be legitimate, but seller quality, region locks, and buyer protection need closer review.

0 indexed sources in this tier

What the label reflects

  • Seller quality and reputation vary per listing
  • Region locks and activation restrictions need review
  • Risk posture stays separated from the price

Unrated sources

UnratedPending review

Sources without an assigned trust profile stay explicitly unrated until KeyDwarf has enough information to classify them.

0 indexed sources in this tier

What the label reflects

  • No official or marketplace posture is assumed
  • Price observations remain visible with an unrated label
  • Classification can be added after source review

Account-style listings

AccountHighest risk

Account, altergift, or shared-account language is highlighted because it is materially different from a normal activation key.

0 indexed sources in this tier

What the label reflects

  • Account, altergift, or shared-account language
  • Materially different from a normal activation key
  • Downgraded and highlighted in ranking

Long-running public feedback and complaint patterns.

Listing shape

Normal key, account, gift, subscription, or website link.

Common questions

What does Official mean?

Official store labels mean the source posture is publisher-sourced or direct storefront data. KeyDwarf still sends you outside the app for terms, checkout, refunds, and support.

Can marketplace listings be useful?

Marketplace labels mean seller quality, activation region, and buyer protection can vary per listing. KeyDwarf keeps those rows visible but separates the risk posture from the price.

Why are some rows flagged?

Listings that look like accounts, shared accounts, or gift-style transfers are materially different from normal activation keys, so KeyDwarf downgrades and highlights them.

Are scores guarantees?

Scores are local labels derived from source type, known public posture, and listing shape. They are comparison context, not a guarantee that an external checkout will behave a certain way.
