RMT in games: what it is, the risks and the idle games that allow it

Updated · 6 min read · by IdleDeck

Summary
  • RMT (real money trading) means trading game items, currency, characters or accounts for real money — via Pix (Brazil's instant payments), card or crypto.
  • Most games forbid it and punish it with a ban; some Brazilian idle games allow it, sometimes with an official market and a fee.
  • Allowed RMT is not income: the price depends on who is buying, and a deal closed outside the official system has no guarantee at all.
  • The list on this page comes from our game profiles, checked on each game's website — the date is next to each one. Rules change: confirm before you trade.

What RMT is

RMT is short for real money trading. It is when an item, a currency, a character or a whole game account changes hands for real money — paid via Pix, card or cryptocurrency. It shows up in three ways:

  • Official market. The game itself has an area to list items in Brazilian reais, dollars or crypto, with a fee and, sometimes, escrow until the payment clears.
  • Between players, as the rules allow. The game lets you trade on your own, but it does not mediate or guarantee anything.
  • On the side, against the rules. The most common kind in older MMOs: a deal arranged in a group or forum, which the game forbids and punishes.

Why so many games forbid it

Real money changes the game. It attracts bots and accounts that farm only to sell, unbalances the economy, encourages scams and account theft, and creates disputes the team cannot settle. That is why most games forbid selling items, currency or accounts for money and punish it with a ban — and, when there is a balance, with the loss of it.

Some Brazilian idle games took the opposite path and brought RMT inside the game, with their own rules: who can sell, what can be sold, the fee and how long the money takes.

The risks, even where it is allowed

  • It is not income. The price depends on someone wanting to buy. The game's economy cools off, and an item that was worth a lot may be worth nothing the next month.
  • Deals on the side have no guarantee. You paid and got nothing, you delivered and got nothing: without the game's official system, nobody can undo it.
  • Scams hide in shortcuts. A fake "market" link, a request for your login or a code, an edited payment receipt. Trade only through the channels the game points you to.
  • A sold account can come back. Sellers sometimes take the account back later through its email — and many games forbid selling the account even when they allow selling items.
  • Crypto has no chargebacks, and Pix scams are common. Check everything before you hand anything over.
  • Taxes. Money you make may have to be declared. If the amounts are significant, talk to an accountant.
Important: this guide explains how RMT works and what each game says. It is not a recommendation of any game, deal or investment.

Idle games that allow (and forbid) RMT

According to the rules each game publishes, these allow some kind of RMT — and the details (what can be sold, where and with what fee) vary a lot from one to the next:

  • Idle Poke Moon (Poke Idle · checked Sep 22, 2026) — The home page says RMT is 100% allowed, "com responsabilidade" (responsibly). The terms of use (version 1, dated 07/13/2026, which call the game "Idle Pokemon") still say the opposite: that items have no cash value, cannot be exchanged for money, and that the account must not be sold.
  • IdlePoke (Poke Idle · checked Sep 22, 2026) — The Portuguese terms, shown at sign-up, allow real-money trading as long as the deal doesn't happen in the official Discord channels; one version of the welcome message also says RMT is allowed and points to the Auction. The English version of the same window still says RMT of accounts, items and currency is forbidden.
  • Poke Hero World (Poke Idle · with crypto · checked Sep 22, 2026) — The rules neither forbid nor prevent deals between players outside the game, for real money or Pix, including accounts, characters, currency, items and Pokémon — but at the traders' own risk, with no support from the team. The site also advertises selling Pokémon for USDT, and the game has its own RMT market.
  • PokéHunt (Poke Idle · checked Sep 22, 2026) — Trading outside the official systems, including for real money or Pix, is not forbidden, but the team doesn't recognize, mediate or guarantee those deals, and everything is at the players' own risk. The official market uses in-game currency; selling a trainer (character) through the Market, when the feature is available, is also paid in in-game currency.
  • PokeIdle BR (Poke Idle · checked Sep 22, 2026) — There is an official RMT market: the player lists Pokémon and gets paid in Brazilian reais through Mercado Pago (Split), with the team as intermediary and the Pokémon in escrow until the PIX is confirmed; the section says 18+ with KYC, and there are no withdrawals from the game wallet in this mode.
  • Pokéidle.io (Poke Idle · with crypto · checked Sep 21, 2026) — The Community Market sells rare items between players for Gema, a currency pegged to USDT.
  • PokeNova (Poke Idle · checked Sep 22, 2026) — The game's market has a tab for real-money listings: you must link a Mercado Pago account, and the fee is 5%. The client itself says selling will be ready when checkout is enabled, so it may not be active yet in the beta.
  • Ultimate Poke Idle (Poke Idle · checked Sep 22, 2026) — There is an official RMT Market: Pokémon sold via Pix, priced between R$ 5 and R$ 5,000, with a 10% fee, automatic escrow and withdrawal to the Pix key within two business days; the seller needs an approved registration (CPF and Pix key from the same person) and an account at least 7 days old.
  • Femur Idle (Tibia Idle · with crypto · checked Sep 22, 2026) — Buying and selling with money is part of the game, through the official channels: in the Bazaar, characters, outfits and mounts go for Femur Coin or USDC (wallet-to-wallet payment, 15% fee), and the terms say the transferable premium currency can be exchanged for USDC on the Market. Selling accounts, characters, gold or items outside the official Market is prohibited.
  • Huntera (Tibia Idle · with crypto · checked Sep 22, 2026) — There is an official RMT market: Premium accounts list items (not gold) priced in Huntera Coins, reais or USDC, and the buyer chooses how to pay. Deals arranged outside the platform, including ones paid in money, are not recognized and may get both accounts punished; buying, selling or transferring accounts is also not allowed.
  • Legacy of Midgard (Ragnarok Idle · checked Sep 22, 2026) — Trading items, zeny and even the account for real money between players is allowed by the RMT page, which is part of the terms: it is arranged on the official Discord and delivered in the game, with no fee, guarantee or refund from the team. Trading anything that came from a bug, duplication or server flaw is prohibited.
  • Midgard Idle (.com) (Ragnarok Idle · with crypto · checked Sep 22, 2026) — The game's official market provides for listings priced in USDT, paid from the buyer's wallet straight to the seller's Solana wallet, with a market fee and no refunds. You can also gift Midgard Coins to another player. There is no rules page on deals outside the game.
  • Soul's Idle (MMORPG Idle · with crypto · checked Sep 22, 2026) — The site advertises that RMT is allowed: diamonds, bought by donation or earned in play, can be withdrawn in USDC. The terms allow selling the account (the team doesn't mediate or reverse it), but forbid trading diamonds, gold, items or in-game services outside the official channels (the site's shop and the in-game Merchant).
  • Dragon Ball Idle (Dragon Ball Idle · checked Sep 22, 2026) — The Terms allow passing Dragon Coins, items and warriors from one player to another, even when payment is agreed between the parties; the team stays out of these deals (no mediation, guarantee or support). The account itself cannot be sold, lent or bought.

These forbid selling items, currency or accounts for real money:

For the other 27 games we have a profile of, the site doesn't say — which doesn't mean it's allowed. See each one's rule in the idle game list and check with the game first.

How to check before you trade

  1. Read the game's terms and rules, and the announcements channel on its Discord: that is where rules change first.
  2. See what can be sold: many games allow items and forbid selling the account.
  3. Prefer the official market, when there is one: the fee costs less than a scam.
  4. Check the rules on multiple accounts: moving items between your own accounts to sell them is usually forbidden.

Where IdleDeck comes in

IdleDeck does not buy, does not sell and does not touch any wallet or balance: it keeps your accounts open, organized and awake, and alerts you when one goes down. It also does not play for you — no bot, no macro, no VPN — so each game's rules apply just the same. Some games on the list ban tools that keep the session active: each one's profile says so right at the top.

Common questions

What does RMT mean in games?

Real money trading: trading a game's items, currency, characters or accounts for real money, paid via Pix, card or crypto.

Can RMT get you banned?

In games that forbid it, yes: the penalty is usually suspension or a ban of the account, with the loss of progress and balance. Where it is allowed, you still have to stay within that game's rules.

Which idle games allow RMT?

The list on this page shows the Brazilian idle games whose published rules allow some kind of RMT, with the date each one was checked. Rules change: confirm in the current terms before you trade.

Is selling game items via Pix safe?

You can only trust what the game mediates. A deal arranged on the side has no guarantee: if the other party disappears, nobody can undo it.

Is RMT the same as play-to-earn?

Not exactly. In play-to-earn, the game itself pays in crypto or tokens; in RMT, the one paying is another player, for your item. Many games mix the two — the crypto idle games guide explains that model.
