How to Transfer a Clash of Clans Account Safely (Without Summoning Supercell’s Wrath)
Transferring a Clash of Clans account is like defusing a bomb—one wrong move and poof, your years of progress vanish. Whether you’re selling, buying, or switching devices, here’s how to dodge bans, scams, and existential despair.
Why Safe Transfer Matters
- Risk #1: Supercell permanently bans accounts caught in unauthorized transfers.
- Risk #2: Scammers love to “sell” the same account to 10 buyers.
- Risk #3: Lose access forever if the original owner reclaims it via Supercell ID.
Step 1: Prep the Account (Seller’s Job)
✅ Disconnect ALL Linked Accounts:
- Google Play / Game Center: Unlink in-game settings.
- Supercell ID: Remove the account from the seller’s email.
- Screenshots: Take proof of Town Hall level, gems, and heroes (in case of disputes).
⚠️ Red Flag: Sellers who refuse to unlink their email. They’re leaving a backdoor open.
Step 2: Secure the Handoff (Buyer’s Job)
✅ Create a NEW Email for the Account:
- Use a fresh Gmail/Outlook (e.g., ClashKing2023@…). Never reuse personal emails.
- Enable 2FA on this email.
✅ Link to Supercell ID During Transfer:
- Seller initiates Supercell ID transfer to the buyer’s new email.
- Buyer verifies the email and sets up a new password + 2FA.
- Immediately unlink the seller’s device from Supercell ID.
💡 Pro Tip: Do this on a call/screen share. If the seller hesitates, abort mission.
Step 3: Post-Transfer Lockdown
✅ Change EVERYTHING:
- Email password
- Supercell ID password
- Clan settings (if applicable)
✅ Wipe Activity Logs:
- Delete the account from the seller’s device (Settings > Help and Support > Account > Remove).
✅ Play Dumb In-Game:
- Avoid bragging about your “new” account. Supercell sniffs out suspicious activity.
4 Deadly Transfer Mistakes (Avoid These!)
- Using the Seller’s Email: They can reclaim the account anytime.
- Skipping 2FA: An unsecured email = a free account for hackers.
- Rushing the Process: No screenshots? No proof? Prepare for regret.
- Ignoring Supercell’s TOS: Never mention “transfer” or “sale” in support tickets.

FAQ: Transfer Fears, Addressed
Q: Can Supercell detect the transfer?
A: Yes, but they rarely act unless you flaunt it. Stay low-key.
Q: What if the seller scams me mid-transfer?
A: Use escrow services or trusted platforms (like Clash Vault) that hold payment until you confirm access.
Q: Can I transfer multiple times?
A: Technically yes, but each transfer increases ban risks. Treat it like a one-time spell.
