Mystery Chest and Mystery Gift guidance use different waits. Check the client.
Before spending RP
Send the right gift, once
Check the account, friendship timer, eligibility and price inside Riot’s client. A gift cannot be taken back simply because the wrong friend or content was selected.
Riot’s current Mystery Chest sender requirement.
The recipient needs enough unowned eligible choices.
Availability, regions and current eligibility can change.
Quick check
Five checks before Send
Do these in order. VRC.LOL never reads your RP balance, purchase history, friend list or gifting eligibility.
- 1RecipientConfirm the full Riot ID
Open the friend from the League client and verify the game name and tag before choosing content.
- 2Friend timerCheck the friendship period for your region
Ordinary content gifts require at least seven days of friendship in most regions, including NA, and 14 days in Turkey and Brazil. Count from acceptance; re-adding the friend restarts the wait. Mystery Chests use a separate one-day rule.
- 3ContentUse only what the client offers
Owned, unavailable, restricted or region-dependent content may not appear. Mystery gifts also need a large enough eligible pool.
- 4PriceRead the final RP total
Do not rely on an old screenshot or guide. Sales, bundles and available gift types can change.
- 5ConfirmationPause before confirming
Riot lists sent and received gifts as non-refundable. Treat the last confirmation as final.
Gift still unavailable?
Read the client message before waiting again
A disabled button does not prove that the friendship timer is the problem. Check the gift type and account state first.
Count from when the friendship was accepted, not from midnight. Removing and adding the friend again may restart it.
They may already own it, lack the champion, or have too few eligible mystery choices remaining.
Sender or recipient restrictions, level requirements, regional availability or store problems can prevent the transaction.
Capacity returns individually when each transaction becomes 24 hours old; it does not all reset at midnight.
Rolling limits
“Per day” does not mean midnight
Riot describes Mystery Chest limits as rolling 24-hour windows. Each older gift leaves the window 24 hours after it was sent or received.
Mystery gifts
After reaching 10, capacity returns one gift at a time as each earlier transaction becomes 24 hours old.
Mystery gifts
The receiving account has its own rolling limit. A sender being eligible does not guarantee the recipient still has capacity.
Check Riot’s client
VRC.LOL cannot calculate your private remaining allowance. Begin the gift flow and read the client’s current eligibility or limit message.
Money and account safety
Keep the transaction inside Riot’s systems
Use Riot’s client or official cards
Avoid sellers asking for account credentials. Never share your password, recovery code or email access to receive a gift.
Gifts are not normal refunds
Riot’s global policy places both sent and received gifts in the non-refundable list. A normal refund token does not make the gift reversible.
Chargebacks affect both sides
Riot says a chargeback on a gifting transaction can suspend both the gifting account and the recipient. Use a payment method you control.
Quick answers
Common gifting questions
How many mystery gifts can I send?
Riot currently states that an account can send up to 10 mystery gifts in a rolling 24-hour period and receive up to 10. The window does not reset at midnight.
Why is my friend not eligible yet?
For an ordinary skin or content gift, Riot currently requires at least seven days of friendship in most regions, including NA, and 14 days in Turkey and Brazil. The separate Mystery Chest flow currently says one day. Restrictions, ownership and store availability can also block a gift.
Can I refund a League gift?
Riot’s global refund policy lists gifts, whether sent or received, as non-refundable. Confirm the recipient, content and price before sending.
Where can I see my remaining gifting limit?
Use the current League client’s gifting flow. VRC.LOL cannot inspect account purchase limits, and Riot does not expose them through this website. The client’s eligibility or limit message is authoritative.
