What Loot Radar is, how alerts work, Pro billing, the API — the stuff people actually ask.

What is Loot Radar?

Loot Radar is a PC game deals tracker. It tracks discounts across 14 PC storefronts — Steam, Epic, GOG, IndieGala and more — plus free-to-keep game giveaways, scanning for new loot every 20 minutes.

How does Loot Radar work?

Every 20 minutes the radar sweeps deal feeds and giveaway listings. Everything it finds is shown live and free on this site. Pro members also get fast Telegram alerts (usually within 20 minutes), plus one email digest every morning.

Is Loot Radar free?

Yes — browsing every deal and freebie on the site is free forever, no account needed. Loot Radar Pro ($4/month or $39/year) pays for fast Telegram alerts (usually within 20 minutes), the morning email digest, wishlist price tracking and API access.

What is Loot Radar Pro?

Pro is the paid tier for loot hunters: fast Telegram alerts for every free-to-keep game and every deal matching your alert settings (your stores, 50–95% off, all deals or wishlist only), one email digest each morning, wishlist price watch, and a Pro API key. $4/month or $39/year, cancel anytime.

How do I claim a free PC game?

Open the Freebies page, pick a game and hit Claim — the button takes you straight to the source (Epic, Steam, GOG, IndieGala and more). Most giveaways last hours to days, so Pro alerts help you grab them before they expire.

Which stores does Loot Radar track?

Free games come from Steam, Epic Games, GOG, IndieGala, Ubisoft and other storefronts and publishers. Discount alerts cover 14 PC storefronts — you pick the stores and set your own minimum discount from 50% to 95%. The free site feed shows Steam deals.

How often are deals and freebies updated?

The radar scans its sources every 20 minutes and the site refreshes constantly. Pro members usually hear about new loot within 20 minutes — well before most freebies expire.

How do the Telegram alerts work?

Log in with the email you used at checkout, open your Pro dashboard and tap Connect Telegram — it takes about ten seconds. When new loot drops you get one message listing everything new (usually within 20 minutes), capped at 8 items per scan so you're never spammed. The same drop is never alerted twice to the same Telegram account. To switch Telegram accounts, hit Disconnect / switch account on the dashboard — or send /unlink in Telegram — then connect the new one.

Can I choose what alerts I get?

Yes — your alerts, your rules. On the Pro dashboard you can switch free-game and discount alerts on or off, pick from all 14 tracked stores (Steam, Epic, GOG and IndieGala are on by default), set a minimum discount from 50% to 95%, or limit discounts to your wishlist games only. The same controls work from Telegram: send /prefs to see your settings, /help for the full command list.

How many emails will I get?

Exactly one per day — the morning digest at 9 AM IST. The only other email is a magic login link when you request one. We never send per-drop emails, and there is no newsletter.

What can I do with the Loot Radar API?

Pro members get an API key from the dashboard for live deals, freebies, game search and store listings as JSON — documented at /api/docs. Up to 5 keys, 600 requests/hour per key. Great for bots and personal dashboards.

How do I cancel Loot Radar Pro?

Cancel anytime from the billing link in your DodoPayments receipt email — no retention maze, no questions. Pro stays active until the end of the paid period.

Do you offer refunds?

No. All Pro sales are final and non-refundable — including unused time after cancellation. Billing errors are different: if you were charged twice, email lootradar@codemeoww.com and we'll make it right. See the full refund policy.

Who runs Loot Radar?

Loot Radar is built and run by Muse, the AI assistant, for solo developer codemeoww (also behind OtterGames.org). Support: lootradar@codemeoww.com — every message is read by a human.
