Converting Riot Points to pounds is straightforward once you know the RP bundle prices on the UK store. Riot Points (RP) are the premium currency in League of Legends — they cannot be earned through gameplay, so you buy them with real money. This guide walks you through every UK bundle, shows you exactly how to calculate the GBP cost per RP, and helps you choose the bundle that gives you the most value for your spend.
What you need to know first
There is no free RP-to-GBP exchange rate that changes daily. Instead, Riot Games sells RP in set bundles at fixed UK prices (inclusive of VAT). The more RP you buy in one purchase, the lower the cost per individual Riot Point. All prices below are correct for the UK storefront; if you are outside the UK, your local currency and bundle sizes may differ.
How to convert Riot Points to pounds — step by step
-
Step 1: Open the League of Legends store in your browser
Go to the official League of Legends UK store to buy RP. You can also reach the store from inside the game client by clicking the plus (+) icon next to your RP balance in the top-right corner of the client. Either route takes you to the same purchase page. Make sure you are logged in with your Riot account.
Navigate to the official League of Legends UK store — it lists every RP bundle and its GBP price. -
Step 2: View the available RP bundles and their prices
The store displays all available RP bundles alongside their pound sterling prices. As of 2026, the UK store offers five main bundles: 575 RP for £4.49, 1,380 RP for £10.00, 2,800 RP for £20.00, 5,000 RP for £35.00, and 7,200 RP for £50.00. Riot occasionally adds limited-time bonus RP promotions — always check the store for any current offers before purchasing.
The store shows each bundle's RP amount and its GBP price including VAT. -
Step 3: Calculate the GBP cost per Riot Point
To compare bundles fairly, divide the price in pounds by the number of Riot Points you receive. The formula is: £ cost ÷ RP amount = £ per RP. The table below shows the calculation for each UK bundle:
- 575 RP / £4.49 → £0.0078 per RP (least efficient)
- 1,380 RP / £10.00 → £0.0072 per RP
- 2,800 RP / £20.00 → £0.0071 per RP
- 5,000 RP / £35.00 → £0.0070 per RP
- 7,200 RP / £50.00 → £0.0069 per RP (best value)
The difference between the smallest and largest bundle is about 11 per cent — not huge, but worth factoring in if you plan regular purchases.
Dividing the GBP price by the RP amount reveals the true cost per point — larger bundles win every time. -
Step 4: Choose the right bundle for what you want to buy
Match your bundle to the items on your wish list rather than just buying the cheapest option. Common RP costs in League of Legends include: 585–975 RP for a champion (purchased with RP), 1,350 RP for an Epic skin, 1,820 RP for a Legendary skin, and 2,450+ RP for champion bundles. If you want one Epic skin, the 1,380 RP bundle at £10 covers it exactly. For a Legendary skin, the 2,800 RP bundle at £20 gives you the skin plus leftover RP for a future purchase. RP never expires, so buying a larger bundle now and spending the remainder later is a smart strategy.
Cross-reference the skins or champions you want with their RP cost to pick the bundle that covers everything. -
Step 5: Select your payment method and complete the purchase
Once you have chosen a bundle, click it to proceed to checkout. The UK store accepts credit and debit cards, PayPal, Paysafecard, and occasionally League of Legends Gift Cards. Review the order summary — it confirms the RP amount, the GBP total, and the equivalent cost per RP. Click Purchase Now and complete your payment. Riot Points are added to your account within seconds; no code redemption is needed when buying directly through the official store.
Select your payment method, confirm the GBP total, and click Purchase — RP lands in your account instantly.
Tips for getting the most out of your RP
- Wait for sales. Riot runs skin discounts through the in-game store and the Essence Emporium event. Buying an Epic skin on sale can cost 30–50% fewer RP than the full price.
- Use Blue Essence for champions. All champions can be unlocked with Blue Essence (earned by playing), so saving your RP purely for cosmetics gives the best value.
- Check the Mythic shop. Some skins are available only for Mythic Essence, which is earned differently — buying RP to chase a Mythic skin may not be the most efficient route.
- RP does not expire. Unlike subscription credits on some other services, unspent RP sits in your account indefinitely, so there is no harm in buying a bigger bundle than you need right now.
- Gift cards as an alternative. League of Legends gift cards are available at major UK retailers (e.g., Tesco, GAME). They carry the same bundle amounts and prices, but can be bought as gifts.
Troubleshooting
The UK store is showing prices in euros, not pounds
Make sure you are visiting the GB version of the store (leagueoflegends.com/en-gb). If you are using a VPN, disable it, as it can redirect you to a different region's store with different prices and currencies.
My RP did not appear after payment
Wait a few minutes and then restart the game client. If the RP still has not arrived after 15 minutes, check your email for a purchase confirmation. If the payment was taken but RP is missing, contact Riot support with your order reference number.
The bundle prices seem different from what I've seen online
Riot occasionally adjusts regional pricing to reflect currency movements. The prices in this guide reflect the UK store in 2026; always verify the current price directly on the store page before purchasing, as figures can change.
Frequently asked questions
How much is 1,380 RP in pounds?
On the UK store, 1,380 RP costs £10.00. This works out to approximately £0.0072 per Riot Point and is enough to buy one Epic-tier skin (1,350 RP) with 30 RP to spare.
How much is 2,800 RP in pounds?
The 2,800 RP bundle costs £20.00 on the UK store — around £0.0071 per RP. It comfortably covers a Legendary skin (1,820 RP) and leaves roughly 980 RP for a future purchase.
What is the cheapest way to get Riot Points in the UK?
The 7,200 RP bundle at £50 gives the lowest cost per point (£0.0069 per RP). However, if you only need a small amount, there is no point overspending — the 1,380 RP bundle at £10 offers a reasonable rate with a manageable outlay.
Can I convert leftover Riot Points back to pounds?
No. Riot Points are a one-way purchase: you buy them with real money but cannot convert them back to GBP. Unspent RP simply stays in your account until you use it.
Do Riot Points work across all Riot games?
Riot Points purchased through the League of Legends UK store are specific to League of Legends. Other Riot titles such as Valorant use their own premium currencies (Valorant Points) purchased separately.
Wrapping up
Converting Riot Points to pounds comes down to one simple calculation: divide the bundle price in GBP by the number of RP you receive. Larger bundles always give a better rate, ranging from roughly £0.0078 per RP at the low end to £0.0069 per RP for the maximum bundle. The sweet spot for most players is the £20 / 2,800 RP bundle, which covers a Legendary skin outright and leaves RP to spare. Always buy from the official store to ensure your RP is credited instantly and securely.
