Safely buying Old School RuneScape gold is extremely important. If you aren’t buying gold in a safe manner, you aren’t really buying gold at all, as you won’t receive the product you paid for in the end.

One of the best techniques you can apply to buy OSRS gold safely is vetting the website. If the business has been around for years and wasn’t started last week, it’s inherently more likely to be trustworthy. Furthermore, you should be able to read customer testimonials and external reviews.

Ensure that any website you visit is secured with SSL. This means it has secure-socket layer encryption and the data can’t be intercepted by anyone. You can usually tell if the website is using SSL by looking at the padlock near the website address, if it’s shown in the locked form, it means the website is secure.

If you are not sure about the authenticity of a particular seller, another technique you can try is splitting up your purchase. Say you want to buy 50 million gold in Old School RuneScape. If you’re not certain the seller is legitimate, you can simply buy a smaller quantity, like 10 million gold first. If everything goes smoothly, you can then start doing larger quantities afterward, i.e. 40 million gold. You don’t need to purchase everything at once. Although, you should try to verify the seller’s reputation as legitimate through reviews first, and then this stage will go better.

Once you’re buying gold, ensure that you never trade the gold back. Imposters may say that the person you bought the gold from needs it back for some reason, or someone may impersonate a Jagex employee. These claims are not true and never have been true, so you can simply ignore anyone asking for you to trade the Runescape Account back. If you trade the gold to a random person asking for it, we cannot recover it, so it’s important to follow this guideline closely.
