What is elo boosting in LoL: how it works and what to know

An elo boost is a stronger player playing on your account until your target rank. Here is how it actually works, what it costs, and what to know before.

The definition

Elo boosting is a service where a high-level player plays ranked games on your account until it reaches the rank you chose. The word elo comes from the game's historical rating system. Today the ladder is counted in tiers, divisions and LP, but the name stuck.

You pick your current rank and your target, you pay, and a player takes care of the games. Meanwhile you do not play ranked on that account. At the end, your account sits at the target rank.

Solo or duo

There are two forms. In solo, the player logs into your account and plays alone. You follow progress from your order page. It is the fastest form, and the one the word boost usually refers to.

In duo, nobody logs into your account. You play your own ranked games, and a Master player plays by your side in the duo queue. It is slower, because it depends on your shared time slots and on your own play, but you improve along the way and your account stays in your hands.

How it works with us

Everything starts with the calculator. You enter your server, your current rank, your LP, your LP gain per win and your target. The price shows right away, with options if you want them. That price is fixed at payment and does not change afterwards.

You pay by card through Stripe or with PayPal. For a solo boost, your credentials are asked only after payment, from your order page. A chat opens with your booster. There you see every game, your rank and your LP updated as the order progresses.

  • Route picked and price shown before you pay.
  • Payment by card or PayPal, price frozen.
  • Credentials sent after payment (solo boost only).
  • Chat with the booster, rank and LP tracking.

Your credentials

For a solo boost, the booster needs to log into your account. Your credentials are encrypted before storage, decrypted only when your booster reads them, and erased once the order ends. The booster plays in offline mode, so your friends do not see unusual activity.

Our privacy policy describes this processing in detail. In duo, the question does not arise: no credentials are asked.

The risks, said honestly

Solo boosting goes against Riot Games' rules. A boosted account can be sanctioned. We reduce that risk by playing offline, without suspicious VPNs and with a credible win rate, but the risk does not disappear. Our terms of sale say so in plain words, and the choice is yours.

In duo, your account stays yours. The duo queue is part of the game and nobody logs in for you. The result then also depends on your level: we promise no rank.

How much it costs

The price is built division by division. Each tier has its rate, which rises as you move up the ladder. Your current LP, your LP gain per win, the server and the options you pick adjust the total.

On our grid, one division starts at €5.00, on the cheapest server and LP gain, with no options. Your exact price depends on your route and is shown in the calculator before you pay.

Recognising a serious service

Three simple signs. The full price is shown before any payment, with no surprise added later. You can follow progress and talk to the player handling your order. And the company is identified: legal name, address, registration number in its legal notice, readable terms of sale.

Be wary of promises. A service that talks about a sure result or a firm deadline is hiding something: how the games go cannot be ordered.

Questions

Can I play during the boost?

Not ranked on the boosted account: it would distort the order. If you want to play, pick duo, where you play your games yourself with a Master player.

What if I change my mind?

If your order has not started within 72 hours of payment, you can cancel it from your order page and get a full refund. Once started, no refund, as our terms of sale state.

Is boosting allowed by Riot?

No. Solo boosting goes against Riot's rules and a boosted account can be sanctioned. We reduce that risk without making it disappear. Duo, on the other hand, is a queue the game offers.
