Frequently Asked Questions

In this article, we’ll answer the most common questions about game cheats, hacks, and enhancements — from how they actually work to what risks come with using them.
You’ll learn the difference between internal, external, and DMA-based cheats, how detection works, what makes a cheat “undetected,” and what to watch out for before you ever install one.

Playwithcheats Frequently & Presales Asked Questions

Game cheats (also known as “enhancements”) are programs or tools that alter a game’s behavior to give players an advantage. They can range from simple aim-assist macros to complex software that injects into the game process to manipulate visuals, recoil, or player data.
Modern cheats don’t just boost performance, they often add features like ESP (enemy tracking), aimbots, or radar tools that make gameplay easier or more strategic.

The difference lies in how the cheat interacts with the game’s memory:

  • Internal Cheats are injected directly into the game’s process. This gives them deep access to everything the game does, perfect for features like aimbots, ESP overlays, recoil control, Speedhacks, In-game Exploits and more.

    • Pros: Extremely powerful, real-time data access, smoother performance, can call many functions from the game and add all kind of cheat features possible.

    • Cons: Higher detection risk because they modify the game’s code and memory directly.

    • Example: A cheat DLL injected into ApexLegends.exe that reads positions and modifies aim automatically.

  • External Cheats run outside of the game and simply read or mirror its data through system calls.

    • Pros: Much safer since they don’t modify the game memory directly; harder for anti-cheats to detect. Usually can get detected if the cheat is very public and an Employee of the anti-cheat purchases the cheat to blacklist the driver or the overlay.

    • Cons: Slightly slower response times and limited access, harder to call information’s from the game and has fewer complex features, usually the external cheats have less features.

    • Example: A radar overlay that shows enemy positions on a separate window by reading your game memory externally.

Both types can be effective! Internal cheats are ideal for full-featured packages, while external cheats are preferred for stealth and long-term safety. That doesn’t mean an internal cheat can’t stay safe for a long time, it really depends on the developer’s skill.

DMA (Direct Memory Access) cheats use external hardware — usually a PCIe card plugged into your motherboard — that reads memory directly from the game’s RAM without interacting with Windows or the CPU.
Because they operate completely outside the operating system, they’re nearly invisible to software anti-cheats like Easy Anti-Cheat or BattleEye.

Pros: Very safe, near-undetectable, and often used by elite or private cheat developers.
Cons: Extremely expensive (hundreds of dollars), requires setup knowledge, and usually needs a second PC to function.

How it works: A DMA card (such as a Screamer or LeetDMA) connects to your gaming PC and streams memory data to a second PC. That second PC runs the cheat software, reads player positions or game variables, and overlays that information back onto your main screen via a network connection.

Why it’s so safe: Since the card reads data at the hardware level, the anti-cheat on your main PC never detects any injected software or modified memory.

Typical setup: Many DMA users pair the card with tools like custom radars, ESP viewers, or visual overlays running on the second PC, giving them live data while keeping the main system completely clean.

Summary: DMA setups are primarily used by private cheat communities or advanced users seeking maximum stealth with minimal detection risk. These cards can bypass major anti-cheats like FaceIt, Vanguard, Ricochet, BattleEye, Easy Anti-Cheat, and most others.

At Play With Cheats, we currently don’t offer DMA cheats or DMA cards — however, that may change very soon, so stay tuned.

If we can’t help you to get the cheat working on your computer for any reason we will gladly refund you in full. If you decide before using the unlock key that you wish to have a refund, we will gladly refund you. Once the unlock key and cheat are used we can no longer offer a refund.

“Undetected” means the cheat isn’t currently flagged by the game’s anti-cheat system.
However, that doesn’t mean it will stay undetected forever, detection status can change after a game update or a mass report wave.

At Play With Cheats, we take detections and the safety of our customers very seriously. That’s why we work only with the most skilled developers that have years of experience behind the scene.

We test each cheat after every game patch, and if a product stops working or begins to trigger bans, we immediately take it offline. This ensures users can’t inject outdated builds and keeps the majority of our customers safe.

No. Once you activate your license key on your PC, it becomes HWID-bound to that system. We do not allow account sharing, and HWID resets are limited. If you need a reset, you must provide a valid reason (such as reinstalling Windows).

Our products are not subscription-based. Every purchase is a one-time payment for the duration of the license key you choose (for example, 1 day, 1 week, or 1 month). Once the key expires, you can simply buy a new one, no automatic renewals or hidden recurring charges.

Almost never. Free cheats are often outdated, already detected, or bundled with harmful files such as malware, keyloggers, or crypto miners. Some are even “honeypots” created to steal user information. For instance, users who downloaded free cheats from Youtube or fake Discord giveaways have had their accounts compromised and shortly after used to promote scam or gambling sites. It’s always safer to use verified software from trusted cheat providers with a proven track record of updates and support. Paid software from reputable cheat providers remains the most reliable choice, just make sure to check reviews before making a purchase.

No, there is no automatic renewal for our services. You’ll need to renew your subscription manually. Every purchase made on our website is a one-time payment, and you will never be charged again without your explicit consent.

Sometimes, card payments may fail for a few different reasons. If that happens, try the following steps, these usually solve the issue quickly:

  1. Check your billing details.
    Make sure your name, country, and ZIP/postal code match exactly with the information registered to your credit or debit card. Small mismatches can cause the payment to fail.

  2. Disable your VPN (if active).
    VPNs can trigger security filters in the payment system by masking or changing your location. Try turning it off and attempting the payment again.

  3. Turn off anti-tracking extensions or private browsers.
    Privacy-focused extensions or browsers can block payment verification scripts. Temporarily disable them and retry.

  4. Try a different card.
    If possible, use another credit or debit card, sometimes payments simply fail due to card-specific restrictions.

  5. Contact your bank.
    Your bank might be blocking international or online payments for security reasons. A quick call to your bank can usually fix this, they can approve or unblock the transaction in minutes.

If you’ve tried everything and the issue persists, please contact us through Live Chat or open a ticket on Discord. We’ll guide you through the process or provide alternative Manual payment options such as PayPal, cryptocurrency, or Wise Bank Transfer.

We offer refunds only if the cheat is not functioning/not compatible with ur PC or has not been used. Reasons like “i don’t like the cheat, i don’t want it anymore or it’s kinda laggy” are not valid reasons to request refund. For detailed information regarding our refund policy, please review the “Refund Policy” section in our Terms of Service at https://playwithcheats.com/terms-of-service/

An “Invalid Key” message usually means one of two things:

  1. The key was already activated on another PC, or

  2. You’re entering the wrong key for the wrong product/version.

Make sure you’re using the exact key you received in your dashboard.
If it still shows as invalid, reach out to us on Discord or Live Chat, and we’ll check it for you.
If the key is broken or failed to bind correctly, we’ll instantly replace it.

If the license or loader didn’t appear in your account dashboard, it usually means the product ran out of stock at the exact moment you purchased or we didn’t add stock to it yet..
It happens rarely, but when it does, our website hides the the key license until stock is restored.

Just contact us via Discord or Live Chat, send your order number, and we’ll:

  • Deliver your loader and license manually to your account dashboard.

  • Add stock back to the product

  • .Make sure you get what you paid for almost instantly

We can.
If you already tried following the instructions and still can’t get the cheat running, we’ll gladly help you via AnyDesk or TeamViewer at no extra cost.
Unlike other cheat providers, we don’t charge “setup fees” or force you to pay for support.

Just open a ticket or Live Chat, and we’ll guide you step by step until everything works.

Your key time starts the moment you activate the key inside the loader and inject the cheat.
Once activated, the timer runs continuously, whether you’re actively playing or not.

Example:
If you redeem a 24-hour key at 6 PM, it will expire the next day at 6 PM, even if you only used it for 1 hour.

Activate it only when you’re ready to play.
