How a Boosting Site Earns Its Score on legitboosters.com
Every rating on this site traces back to an order we placed and paid for ourselves. That count now stands at 320, and the whole table is re-audited every month - the last pass closed on July 1, 2026. No service can buy a score, buy a position, or buy the removal of something we flagged. Where a claim has no order log or screenshot behind it, we say so instead of rounding it upward.
What the Score Is Made Of
A Trust Score runs from 0 to 100 and comes out of five weighted inputs. Those weights are identical for every service we audit, so a fast support desk can never quietly compensate for careless credential handling. Account protection carries 35 percent because it covers the one outcome nobody can reimburse you for: a lost rank can be re-earned, a locked account usually cannot.
| What we score | Weight | How it is measured |
|---|---|---|
| Account protection | 35% | Whether the booster works from an offline or appear-offline session, whether the login is reached through a connection routed to your own country, who inside the company can read your credentials, how plainly the ToS risk is written down, and what account hygiene the service walks you through after it hands the account back. |
| Delivery reliability and speed | 25% | Did the paid jobs actually finish, did work begin when the site said it would, and did the result land within the timeframe quoted at checkout. Every pause and every mid-job reassignment goes into the log, and we confirm that what arrived matches what was bought. |
| Transparent pricing | 15% | We compare the figure advertised on the product page with what the payment screen finally charges, sweep prices across several ranks and regions to catch totals that move, hunt for fees added at the last step, and check that the refund policy exists in writing before a card is handed over. |
| Real buyer sentiment | 15% | Reviews with a verifiable purchase behind them carry weight; bursts of glowing text posted in one afternoon by accounts with no history get discounted as astroturf. We read the distribution and the way complaints are answered, because a pattern across a year tells us more than a headline average ever will. |
| Support experience | 10% | Reply speed and competence on real tickets opened as an ordinary paying customer, plus one deliberately awkward request per service - a scope change halfway through, a refund question with an inconvenient reason - to see what happens once the script runs out. |
Tiers and Badge Colors
Anything at 90 and above we label Excellent, 75 to 89 lands as Good, 60 to 74 as Fair, and a service scoring under 60 gets marked Poor.
What We Test and Verify
- The awkward ticket. Every service gets one question its help centre does not answer - a mid-job scope change, a payment split across two cards, a partial refund with a reason nobody wants to hear. We time the reply and read it for whether a person engaged with the specific problem or pasted a template. Across 320 paid jobs this single question has separated services more sharply than raw response time ever has.
- After the handover. Once a job closes we open the account's active session list, look at where the login was reached from, and check whether the service itself tells you to reset your credentials when it gives the account back. Anything the seller left behind - a linked device, a session still live days later, a login from a country nobody explained - is written into the review with the date we saw it.
- Reading the checkout. We take each service through a full purchase and line up the price shown on the game page, the total on the payment screen, and the amount that eventually appears on the card statement. Currency conversion, priority upgrades pre-ticked by default, and service fees that surface only at the final step all get recorded. Over 320 purchases, a gap between the first figure and the last has predicted how a service behaves later better than almost anything else we track.
Who Runs the Tests
Nathan Reid is Consumer Research Lead at Legit Boosters. He arrived from consumer-rights research instead of esports coverage, and he brought one habit with him: buy twice, months apart, and find out whether a seller held its standard after the first sale. He places and pays for the 320 test orders behind this table himself, and he runs the monthly re-audit that last closed on July 1, 2026.
Editorial Independence
Nobody buys a place in our table. Every order is placed under an ordinary customer account and paid for out of this site's own budget, and four rules keep it that way:
- Test purchases are made anonymously, with no mention of who we are and no press contact opened, and the money comes from our own budget rather than the seller's.
- Ranking positions are not for sale. A service cannot pay to move up the table, and it cannot pay to have a flagged finding quietly removed.
- Every service goes through the identical process under the identical five weights - a two-person operation and a household name get audited exactly the same way.
- When a finding turns out to be wrong, we publish the correction on the page where the error appeared, dated, instead of editing the sentence and saying nothing.
Errors and Corrections
We get things wrong sometimes. Prices move, policies get rewritten, and a service that looked solid in one audit can slip by the next. If you spot something inaccurate here, flag it to team@legitboosters.com - the URL and the sentence you are disputing is enough. Every disputed claim is checked back against our order logs and the screenshots taken during that test before a word gets changed.
