About Eldorado.gg: where it all started<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It all started with a genuine passion for gaming (RuneScape) and a desire to earn some extra cash while studying abroad. While in university, our co-founder, Vladas, began selling OSRS Gold for cash to friends and acquaintances via Facebook groups.<\/p>\n

Bit by bit, the idea was born to provide players with a more seamless experience. A platform where you are in safe hands if the deal gets stuck, as it often does when dealing with random strangers on social media. No more being left on read on Messenger after you send your item or money.<\/p>\n

Eldorado.gg was founded in 2018 in Vilnius, Lithuania. At first, we truly struggled: no payment providers, sellers didn\u2019t want to list their offers, and we were basically scraping the barrel. After a few key decisions, we gained some traction. Sellers gave us a chance, and payment providers started to trust us.<\/p>\n
