A dedicated email address for game launcher accounts
Keep Steam Guard codes and launcher login alerts out of your personal inbox with one permanent address built only to receive mail.
What emails do game launchers actually send?
Steam sends a code from Steam Guard when you sign in from a new device, plus confirmation mail during account creation. Epic Games and GOG follow a similar pattern: a verification step at signup, then occasional login alerts or security notices afterward.
None of this is store marketing. It exists to confirm the address on the account and to flag activity you should recognize.
Why keep this away from your personal inbox?
A gaming account mixed into a personal inbox turns a real security code into one more thing to scroll past. Giving Steam, Epic, or GOG their own address means the mailbox only ever holds mail from that launcher, so a login alert stands out immediately instead of getting lost.
Set up a launcher address in three steps
- Sign in to regmail.me with Google and create a mailbox on a regmail.me domain.
- Use that address in the email field when creating the Steam, Epic, or GOG account.
- Open the regmail.me inbox to read the verification code or link and complete the signup.
What if the Steam Guard code never arrives?
Confirm the address was entered correctly during account setup, since a code sent to a mistyped address has no inbox to land in.
If the address is right, check whether the mailbox already used its daily allowance. The free tier delivers up to 5 emails per mailbox per day, and anything past that waits until the next day unless paid overflow has been switched on for that mailbox.
Free tier limits before you start
| Limit | Free tier |
|---|---|
| Mailboxes per account | 1 |
| Emails received per mailbox per day | 5 |
| Address expiry | None, the address is permanent |
| Sending mail out | Not supported, receive only |
regmail.me cannot send a reply if a launcher ever needs one, since it only receives mail. Because the address does not expire, it stays reachable if Steam, Epic, or GOG later need to send an account recovery email.
Is this suitable for every gaming account?
It fits one legitimate account you want to keep separate from your daily inbox, nothing more. This is not a way to create multiple accounts for the same store, work around a suspension, or bypass identity checks a launcher may require, and none of that is covered here.
Whether a specific launcher accepts a given domain at signup is a decision made on their side, not something regmail.me controls.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use regmail.me to sign up for Steam?
Yes, put the address in the email field on the Steam signup form the same way you would use any other address. Steam sends its verification mail and later any Steam Guard codes to that inbox. Whether Steam accepts a given domain at signup is decided on their side, not by regmail.me.
Will I still get Steam Guard or login alerts?
Yes, anything Steam, Epic, or GOG send to the address on file arrives within the free daily allowance. Check it directly rather than expecting anything forwarded elsewhere. Up to 5 emails a day arrive automatically on the free tier; beyond that, mail is dropped unless paid overflow is switched on and Energy is available.
Can a game launcher reply to this address for support?
They can send mail and it lands within the free daily allowance, but the address itself cannot send anything back. A support ticket that expects an email reply needs a different address for that step, since regmail.me is built only to receive.
What happens to this address over time?
It does not expire, so the mailbox keeps working whenever you come back to it, as long as your regmail.me account stays active. That permanence is also why the same address is still there for an account recovery email when the time comes, within the free daily allowance, unlike a temporary inbox that disappears after a short window.
