Riot Points in 2025 aren’t cheap – bundles are more expensive, bundles are bloated, and event passes lock rewards behind grind walls. But players have figured out workarounds. Here’s how people are getting cheap or free RP right now (and what actually still works).
1. Microsoft Rewards still works (barely):
Grind out Bing searches, weekly quizzes, and claim Xbox gift cards. Convert those to Riot Points via the Microsoft Store. Takes time, but still legit for free RP if you’re consistent.
2. Prepaid card stacking during promos:
Watch for local retailers or digital card vendors that offer 10–15% back or bonus RP events (usually tied to region-specific holidays). You’re not getting it free, but it’s cheap RP if you time it right.
3. Riot surveys (if you get lucky):
Some long-time players get access to in-client feedback surveys with RP rewards. Totally random, but worth checking your notifications if you’ve been active for multiple seasons.
4. Event passes = passive RP:
If you grind the right passes to max level, Riot still throws in small RP bonuses or currency that offsets future purchases. Not technically free, but ROI-positive if you’re already playing a lot.
5. Giveaways from creators (hit-or-miss):
Some streamers and small content creators still hand out RP codes. Usually small amounts (1380 RP), but if you’re plugged into Twitter or Discord communities, you’ll catch a few.
6. RP boosting via eldorado.com bonuses:
Some players are skipping RP grind altogether by using eldorado.com for ranked climbs that include RP-loaded accounts, bundle-ready MMR, or season-end reward eligibility. It’s not free RP, but it gives you high-rank accounts that can cash in on missions and exclusive shop rotations faster. Less grind, more access.
7. Refer-a-friend loopholes (region-specific):
Some regional Riot programs (especially in Southeast Asia and LATAM) offer RP for friend referrals. Creating alternate accounts to farm this still works in a few regions – but it’s being patched fast.
Free RP isn’t dead, but the methods that work in 2025 take either time, timing, or a smart workaround. Stack them right and you’ll stay loaded without spending full retail.




Riot raised RP prices in a bunch of regions back in 2022. Some markets saw 10-20% increases overnight. If you’re still budgeting based on old price tiers, check your region – the numbers have changed.
That said, the free loot situation actually got better. Amazon Prime Gaming has been consistently dropping free capsules every single month since 2022 – skin shards, champions, the occasional rare drop. Event passes are also more generous now, with token systems that let you grind toward a specific skin instead of gambling on random chests. If you can’t spend money, picking up Prime and playing through every event pass is genuinely the best path to building a collection without touching your wallet.
