eFootball Free Account
Giveaway
— Scam or Real?
Many eFootball account giveaways are scams built to steal your login, but some are real. Here is how to tell the difference, and what buying through escrow does and does not protect.
The most common "giveaway" scam does not give you an account — it steals yours.
You find a giveaway promising a Legendary account worth thousands of coins
To "claim" it, you must enter your eFootball username and password
The scammer immediately logs into YOUR existing account
All your valuable players, coins, and progress are stripped and sold
You are now locked out of your own account with nothing to show for it
Rule: Any giveaway that asks for your current account credentials is 100% a scam. A giveaway gives you access to a NEW account — it never needs your existing login.

A Better Option Than Any Giveaway
Giveaways are unreliable: even real ones have many entrants and a random winner. Here is how an escrow purchase compares.
Stop Waiting for Giveaways — Get a Real Account Today
Browse admin-reviewed eFootball account listings and check each seller's rating and completed sales. Your USDT payment is held in escrow until you confirm the account, with an admin-reviewed dispute if it does not match. Account trading is against Konami's Terms of Use, so escrow protects your money, not the account's standing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are eFootball free account giveaways real?
Some legitimate giveaways do exist — typically from content creators who have accumulated multiple accounts and choose to give one away via a transparent contest on a verified social media channel. However, many "free account giveaways" found through search results, Discord invites, and YouTube comments are scams designed to steal your existing account credentials.
How do fake eFootball giveaways work?
The typical fake giveaway scam works as follows: 1) You are directed to a website that claims to be giving away a Legendary account, 2) To "claim" the account you must log in with your eFootball credentials to "verify" you are a real player, 3) Your credentials are stolen the moment you enter them, 4) The scammer logs into YOUR existing account, strips it of valuable players, and sells it. You end up with nothing and lose your account.
What are signs of a real eFootball account giveaway?
Signs of a real giveaway include: hosted by a verified content creator with a long history and substantial following, no requirement to enter your existing account credentials, clear and transparent entry method (like/retweet/comment), winner announced publicly, and the giver can demonstrate they actually own the account. Legitimate giveaways never ask for your current account details.
I got scammed in a fake giveaway — what do I do?
If you entered your credentials on a fake giveaway site: 1) Immediately reset your KONAMI ID password at My KONAMI (my.konami.net), 2) Set up two-stage authentication for your KONAMI ID, as Konami recommends after a password reset, 3) Contact Konami support (konami.com/efootball/support) to report the problem, 4) Change passwords on all accounts using the same email/password combination, 5) Run a malware scan on your device.
Is there a safer way to get a strong eFootball account than waiting for a giveaway?
Buying through an escrow marketplace is more predictable than a giveaway, but it is not risk-free. On eFootball Market every listing is reviewed by an admin before it appears and shows the seller's rating and completed sales. You pay in USDT (TRC-20), the money is held in escrow, and the seller is only paid after you log in, secure the account and confirm it matches the listing. If it does not, you can open a dispute for an admin to review. Buying or selling accounts is against Konami's Terms of Use, and escrow protects your money, not the account's standing with Konami.
Do eFootball YouTubers do real giveaways?
Some do, yes. Established eFootball content creators occasionally give away accounts as a community appreciation gesture. These giveaways are conducted transparently on their verified YouTube or social media channels with no requirement to provide your own account details. The account is handed over by sharing login credentials in a private message after the winner is announced publicly.
