Redeem the code. First, you will need to log into League of Legends. Next, open up the store and select codes. You can now enter the code that you have been given into the black rectangle.

Does the unchained alistar skin still work? It won't show up for me.

Ask the Riot support and they will add it for you.
Question

When I type "/youtube" behind the URL of the official League of Legends homepage, it just shows me a white screen. What can I do?

Community Answer

Go to the Riot Games support website and submit a technical issue ticket. Ask them if you can have the unchained alistar skin, since the link won't work. A blitzkrank bot will tell you the skin code.
Question

Where is the Philippines' server?

Community Answer

The Philippines doesn't have its own server like Japan, South Korea, Turkey, Brazil, Russia and Oceania. You can go to the Oceania server, which is closer, or Korea.
