This blog in our series focuses on what really matters: your account’s safety. If you're considering a purchase — or already bought something — here’s how to stay protected while still enjoying the benefits of U4GM’s services.

Why Safety Matters

Let’s get the obvious out of the way: buying in-game items from third-party sites like U4GM is against the Terms of Service (TOS) for most MMOs, including Dune: Awakening. While enforcement varies, developers generally frown upon any form of Real Money Trading (RMT).

That said, thousands of players use marketplaces like U4GM without incident, thanks to careful, discreet, and smart practices.

? Step 1: Understand the Risks Before You Buy

Before you hit “buy,” know what’s at stake:

It’s a trade-off between time saved and policy violations. If you’re risk-averse, consider sticking to in-game progression.

?️ Step 2: Use a Secondary or “Burner” Account for Delivery

This is one of the safest strategies used by experienced buyers.

How it works:

• Create a secondary game account (free or low-cost)

• Receive U4GM item delivery on that account

• Transfer the item(s) to your main via trade, market, or shared stash

This adds a layer of plausible deniability and prevents your main account from being directly involved in RMT transactions.

? Pro Tip: U4GM’s live chat can help arrange a multi-account delivery, especially for high-value items like vehicles or spice.

? Step 3: Choose Manual Delivery Methods (Avoid Automation)

Some shady sites offer “auto-delivery” or ask for your game login. These are red flags.

U4GM only uses manual, player-to-player trades, which is the safest and most discreet method available. Avoid:

• Bot-delivered trades

• Account sharing

• Delivery via third-party apps

Stick to face-to-face trades or in-game mail (if supported by the game). It’s slower, but far safer.

? Step 4: NEVER Share Your Game Login Info

No legitimate site, including U4GM, will ever ask for:

• Your Steam login

• Game account credentials

• Authenticator codes

• Email passwords

If someone asks, it’s likely a scam or phishing attempt. Only share:

• Server name

• Character name (for trade delivery)

• Your order number (with support)

That’s it.

? Step 5: Keep Your Purchases Small and Spread Out

Massive, one-time purchases raise red flags.

Instead:

• Break up large orders into smaller ones over time

• Don’t receive 10 items in a single delivery

• Don’t suddenly “jump” in gear score — it can be suspicious

Keeping things gradual mimics normal player progression and reduces the chance of detection.

? Step 6: Document Everything

In case something goes wrong, always document your transaction:

• Take screenshots of your order confirmation

• Record your live chat discussions with support

• Capture in-game delivery confirmation (screenshots or video)

If you’re ever wrongly flagged, this proof can help explain your side — and help U4GM’s support resolve the issue quickly.

? Step 7: Use Secure Payment Methods

Only use payment methods that offer buyer protection, such as:

• PayPal

• Stripe

• Credit cards

Avoid:

• Gift cards

• Bank transfers

• Crypto payments (unless you're very experienced)

U4GM’s checkout system is secure, but using reversible payment options gives you extra peace of mind.

? Step 8: Stay Quiet In-Game

This is the most overlooked step — but also one of the most important.

Don’t:

• Mention U4GM in global chat

• Show off your “purchased” items loudly

• Admit to buying in-game

• Post screenshots of your purchases

Keep your transactions private. Many bans are triggered not by detection, but by reports from other players.

✅ Safe Buyer Checklist

Before buying from U4GM, ask yourself:

• Am I aware of the TOS risks?

• Have I created a secondary account for trade?

• Am I using a verified, secure payment method?

• Am I sticking to small or moderate-sized orders?

• Have I saved all my order confirmations?

• Am I using face-to-face delivery or in-game mail only?

• Am I keeping quiet in global chat?

If you can check off all of the above, you’re playing it smart.

Bonus: Ask Support About “Low-Detection” Strategies

U4GM’s live chat team is surprisingly knowledgeable. If you’re unsure how to proceed safely, ask them:

• “What’s the safest delivery method for my item?”

• “Can I receive this on a second account?”

• “Is the item I’m buying high-risk for detection?”

They can often adjust the delivery type or timing to minimize risk — especially for higher-value orders like spice or base schematics.

Final Thoughts

Yes — there is always a risk when using third-party services like U4GM. But with the right precautions, thousands of Dune: Awakening players are buying items safely, securely, and without incident.

By following the tips in this post, you can:

• Avoid bans

• Protect your account

• Still enjoy the massive time savings and power boost that U4GM offers

U4GM continues to be one of the most trusted item marketplaces — but trust isn’t a substitute for caution. Stay smart, buy small, and keep it quiet.
