RP is the League of Legends store currency
Riot Points, shown as RP, are the paid currency of League of Legends. Riot's support page on prepaid cards describes a card as a cash code that adds premium currency, RP among them, to a Riot game account.
The League refund policy covers store content such as champions, skins and ward skins. The code sits under a scratch-off strip on a physical card, or in a text or email for a digital one.

Pick the card for the server you play on
Riot's support page says a cash code can only be redeemed in the region where it was bought, and its error list adds that a code must be used on the server it was issued for. A card from another region returns the message that the code is not valid in your region.
The League account transfer FAQ says a transfer costs 2600 RP, comes with a 90-day cooldown and cannot be reversed, and that remaining RP moves with the account. Buy for the server you use today.

Redeeming in the League client or on the web
In the League client, Riot's steps are: open the store, click the Account button, choose Redeem Codes, type the code exactly as it appears and press Submit.
Riot also takes codes on its web redemption page. Sign in, select League of Legends, check the summary of your current balance and the amount being added, then confirm. The full value goes to one game and one account; it cannot be split or partly redeemed, and cash codes never expire.

When the client rejects a code
Riot lists five messages. Not valid usually means a typing error, so enter it again without spaces. Not properly activated means the seller still has to activate the card. Already redeemed means checking your own account first. Too many attempts means waiting 24 hours.
RP normally shows up straight away, although Riot says it can take up to 24 hours. For a support ticket Riot asks for the code, the receipt for a prepaid card, your Riot ID and the sign-up email, so keep them until the balance changes.

Prepaid RP cannot be refunded
The League refund policy says RP bought directly can be refunded only while it is unused, within 14 days of purchase, and back to the original payment method. For that reason, it says, Riot cannot refund prepaid cards.
So settle the region and the value before paying. The PinGifts value label describes the researched card, not a cash balance or a stock confirmation.
