Gaming proxies for business teams
Residential Premium proxies for publishers, agencies and esports organisers testing latency and checking regional game stores, within each game's terms.
What teams use Gaming proxies for
Around games, the commercial work happens outside the game itself: store and price pages by region, sponsorship and ad checks, guide and community sites, and tests of your own services. Bots, automated play and shared accounts break most publishers' rules, and a proxy does not change that.
Gaming businesses: regional store checks, launches and key resellers
Publishers, marketing agencies and esports organisers use proxies around games rather than inside them. Typical jobs: checking how a title's store pages, prices and trailers appear in every country where it launches, verifying influencer and ad campaigns by region, and monitoring grey-market key sellers. These are public-page checks. Gameplay, account trading and anything that breaks a platform's terms stay off the list.
Launch-day regional checks
On release, regional store pages can show the wrong price tier, missing translations or another territory's age rating. Have the launch team open each public store page, signed out, through residential proxies in the country concerned at local go-live time, and log issues with screenshots for the platform contact.
Grey-market key monitoring
Keys bought cheaply in one region and resold elsewhere undercut regional pricing and can carry fraud risk. Monitor key-reseller sites from the regions where you price differently, capture listings for your title, and route cases to your legal team or the platform's reporting process.
Campaigns by region
Trailers, influencer codes and paid ads often differ by territory. Check that each region's campaign lands on the right store page with the right price and rating, using a residential proxy located in that territory, before spend ramps up.
Mobile stores follow the account
Apple's App Store shows the storefront for the country of the Apple Account, and Google Play ties its store to the account's Play country, so a proxy alone won't switch the mobile storefront. Plan regional app-store checks with colleagues or partners based in those countries.
The plan we suggest for Gaming
We suggest Residential Premium here. It is our higher-trust residential tier, built for demanding sites and for client work where a page that fails to load costs more than the higher per-GB rate. Game businesses need low-latency, stable connections for testing, and store pages that match each region. Residential Premium is our higher-trust residential tier with fast connections, a good fit for latency tests and regional store checks. Whether a proxy may be used during play is for each game's terms to decide.
Sub-50ms speed
Latency close to datacenter levels on residential ASNs keeps ping low for regional tests. Real figures depend on the route between your team, the exit and the game server.
Region access
View region-specific store pages on Steam, Epic and PlayStation as local players see them, for launch and pricing checks. Steam's agreement, for one, bans using proxies to disguise where you live or to buy at another region's price.
IP privacy
Testers' office and home IPs stay behind the proxy, which keeps internal addresses out of public test sessions and community events.
Static IPs
Sticky sessions hold one address across a test run, much as a regular player's home connection does, so results from repeated runs stay comparable.
Matching each job to a plan
Most teams run more than one kind of job. Data is bought per plan, so volume checks can sit on a lower-cost plan while the jobs that need a household or carrier connection get one.
Datacenter
Our entry-level rate per GB. Suits high-volume checks on your own sites and on public pages that accept datacenter traffic, such as rank tracking and catalogue sweeps.
Datacenter plan details →Residential
Household IPs whose owners consented to share their bandwidth. Use it when a report must show what local customers are shown, or when a site serves datacenter visitors something else.
Residential plan details →Residential Premium
Suggested herePremium-grade residential IPs for demanding work. Shift any job that keeps failing on standard residential here, plus brand-protection sweeps and checks a client's reputation depends on.
Residential Premium plan details →Mobile 4G/5G
IPs from 4G/5G carrier networks, for apps, social platforms and mobile ad placements that need to be seen the way phone users see them.
Mobile 4G/5G plan details →Several markets, one order
MIX packages are ready-made residential pools covering several countries at once, so a multi-market report can run from a single order.

The reseller programme is free to join. Once approved, you create a login for each client through the REST API and set your own client prices.

Getting the team set up
Four steps take a team from order to first check, using the browsers and tools it already works with.
Size the order
Start on Residential Premium, the plan suggested above, and choose how many gigabytes the work needs. The proxy calculator shows the total first.
Pay by card or crypto
Stripe handles card payments and Cryptomus handles crypto. Each order is a one-off, valid for 30 days, with no subscription to cancel.
Set the market
Choose countries in the dashboard after payment, so one order can serve one client market this week and another the next. If a job needs a single city, ask support whether the network covers it.
Give the team access
The dashboard shows the login details once the payment has gone through. Pass them to the colleagues who need them, or whitelist the office IP so nobody has to type a password.
Rotation or a sticky session?
- ▸Per-request rotation moves every request to a different IP. Use it for wide, read-only sweeps of public pages, such as price lists or search results.
- ▸Sticky sessions hold one IP for a window you choose, typically 1-30 minutes, for signed-in or multi-step tasks such as stepping through a client's checkout.
Both are switched in the dashboard, and the options on offer depend on the plan. Keep request rates modest either way.
Signing in
- ▸Username and password in the
host:port:user:passformat that browsers, browser-profile tools and monitoring software accept. - ▸IP whitelist: add your office or server address in the dashboard, and anything connecting from it gets in without credentials, which suits shared office lines and scheduled jobs.
Both work over HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5, and the protocol can be changed later in the dashboard at no extra charge.
Match the IP to the market you report on
Search rankings, prices, ads and even which products appear can change with the visitor's country. Set the IP to the market your client or campaign targets, and the screenshots and figures your team files will line up with what customers there are shown.
- ✓55+ countries to choose from.
- ✓City-level targeting where the network supports it.
- ✓One country per check keeps month-on-month results comparable.
Major markets on the network
When a report doesn't match what the client sees on the ground, the IP's country is one of the first things to check.

Keeping Gaming work within the rules
We sell these proxies for legitimate business work: market and price research, ad verification, SEO, brand protection, QA and compliant automation, including running your own accounts inside each platform's rules. Whatever your team does through them has to stay within the terms of service of every site involved and the law that applies to you and your clients.
- ✓Collect only publicly available information, and pace requests so the site isn't put under strain.
- ✓No proxy can promise that an account escapes action by the platform. That depends mostly on how the account is used and whether it follows the terms.
- ✓Personal details in collected pages, such as names, contact details or reviews, bring data-protection duties with them. Agree with your legal team what you keep and for how long.
The full rules are in our acceptable use policy.
