How Much Money Have I Spent on League of Legends?

League of Legends is a free-to-play game. You can climb the ranks, master the champions, and experience the Rift without spending a single cent. But then... You see it. That perfect skin for your main. Suddenly, that free game didn't feel quite complete without it. Fast forward a few months or years, and your virtual wardrobe might rival that of a famous pop star.

But, have you ever stopped mid-match, admiring your K/DA Ahri or PROJECT Vayne, with a thought: "I wonder how much money I’ve spent on these skins?" or "How much money have I spent in League of Legends over the years?"

It's a question that haunts many a Summoner. Perhaps it's pure curiosity driving you. Perhaps you're trying to budget more effectively, or maybe you need a reality check. Good news, though: finding out is surprisingly straightforward, directly through Riot Games themselves. Forget dodgy third-party sites; let's stick to the official source.

Why Check Your League of Legends Spending?

Before we get to the 'how', let's touch on the 'why'. Seeing the total money spent on LoL can be illuminating. For some, it’s a badge of dedication to League of Legends, showcasing years of enjoyment and support for the game and its developers. However, for others, it's a wake-up call, a number that prompts a re-evaluation of their in-game spending.

Remember, every purchase contributes to that total. For example, Riot Points (RP) to grab that new skin, buying event passes for epic loot, or picking up Hextech Chests hoping for a lucky drop. And, while League of Legends remains fundamentally free to play, these optional in-game cosmetics and conveniences are how Riot Games keeps the servers running, wages paid, and the updates flowing. Nevertheless, knowing how much money you have spent gives you a clearer picture of your investment in the game.

How to Check How Much Money You've Spent on LoL

Method #1: The Direct Support Page Link

Ready for the moment of truth? Riot Games provides a dedicated support page specifically for this purpose. No need to sift through years of bank statements or rely on questionable external tools. Here’s how to check how much money you have spent:

1. Head to the Source: Navigate to the official League of Legends Show Me The Money tool.
2. Log In: You'll need to log into the League of Legends account you're curious about, so make sure you're logging into the correct region's support site.
3. Find the Spending Section: Once logged in, look for the section related to account queries or purchases. Often, you can simply search the support site for "How much money have I spent in LoL?". Riot usually maintains a specific article or tool for you to see how much money you've spent.
4. Click the Button: On the relevant page, you will likely find a large, tempting button labeled "Show Me the Money" to view your spending. Simply click it to see how much money you’ve spent.
5. Reveal the Total: Brace yourself. The page displays the total amount of real money spent with Riot Games on that specific account within the current region.

It’s usually that simple. Riot made this process transparent for players who want to know how much they’ve invested. However, when this page is in maintenance, you can opt for Method 2, which is also straightforward and pretty quick.

Method #2: Using the Support Ticket System

Recent reports indicate that the direct link (Method #1) may be down or under construction. Fortunately, there is a reliable alternative path through the support ticket system that still provides an instant, self-service result without requiring a wait for a reply.

1. Go to Riot Support: Navigate to the main League of Legends Support page for your region.
2. Log In: Sign in with your Riot account credentials.
3. Initiate a Request: Locate and click the "Submit a Ticket" or "Submit a Request" option.
4. Select Request Type: From the first dropdown menu (often labelled "Choose a Request Type" or similar), select the category related to "Account Management, Data Requests, or Deletion".
5. Specify Inquiry: Another dropdown menu should appear. Select "Formal Personal Data Request".
6. Detail Secondary Inquiry: A final dropdown related to your specific data request will appear. Select "I want to know how much money I've spent with Riot Games".
7. Reveal the Total (Instant Button): After selecting the correct options in sequence, the system should automatically generate the "Show Me the Money" button directly on the page. You do not need to fill out the subject or description boxes or submit the ticket. Click this button.
8. See Your Spending: The page will then display the total amount of real money spent on that account in that region, just like Method #1.

This method uses the support system's navigation but cleverly provides the same instant, automated tool as the direct link, making it a reliable workaround.

What Does the Number Mean?

Okay, you've got the figure. Maybe it’s higher than you expected, maybe lower. What does this number actually represent?

Mainly, this figure reflects the real-world money you've used to purchase Riot Points, the game's premium in-game currency. It also includes direct real-money purchases of items such as starter packs or specific event bundles. This is the money you’ve spent on League directly, not externally on things like League of Legends boosting or accounts.

To sum up, the tool does not reflect money spent in other ways or the value gained, for instance:

• Region Lock: The amount shown applies to your current region and may not accurately reflect your spending if you have transferred your account between areas (e.g., from EUW to NA). You would need to check spending on each regional account separately, if applicable, across multiple accounts.
• Gifts: Money spent by friends gifting you skins or RP won't show up in your total (but it will in theirs, so you might want to know how much you’ve spent)!
• Non-RP Currencies: Items acquired using Blue Essence (earned through gameplay) or during events like the Essence Emporium don't count towards this real money total.
• Promotional Items: Codes redeemed or promotional items obtained outside of direct purchases are not typically included.

So, the number you see is specifically the money you've spent in League via purchases made with real-life money through your account in its current region. It's your direct financial contribution to your League of Legends experience, mainly for those cosmetic items, the character skins, ward skins, emotes, and chromas that let you personalize your OTP on the Rift.

What About Third-Party Checkers?

You might stumble upon websites claiming to check your League of Legends spending; however, tread very carefully. These sites are not affiliated with Riot Games and often require you to enter your account details, posing a significant security risk, similar to phishing scams. Furthermore, their calculations are usually inaccurate, and the scraped data is unreliable. Stick to the official Riot Support page; it's secure, accurate, and sanctioned by the creators themselves.

Final Thoughts

Knowing how much money you’ve spent on LoL is less about judgment and more about awareness. League of Legends offers countless hours of entertainment for free, and choosing to buy LoL skins or other in-game cosmetics is a personal choice to improve that experience or simply support the developers. Now that you know how to check your spending, why not take a look?
