How to transfer/save game data

update 27/01/2017

Saving your account

To save your account, you can go to the "Data Transfer Settings" from the Gear icon when you are in-game, then choose "Data Transfer with KONAMI ID". Register a new account if you don't have it yet and bind it to the account.

June 7th update

Recently, there were problems associated with making a KONAMI ID, which has now been fixed, but a new method to save your account is now added as well. You can now set up a data transfer to back up your account using Google Play Games. Simply log in to your Google Play account when you are in-game, and choose "Data Transfer Setup (Google Play Games)" in the Data Transfer Settings.

Setting up a data transfer

1. Tap a gear-shaped icon

2. Tap "Data Transfer Settings"

3. KONAMI ID or Google Play Games

You can link your game data to both a KONAMI ID, or Google Play Games. In case one of them isn't available, you can use the other to restore your data. You can link your game data to a different KONAMI ID, or Google Play Games if you accidentally used a different or wrong account, but it will replace the previous one. If you plan on transferring from using Google Play services to iTunes, make sure you use KONAMI ID instead.

3.5 KONAMI ID

If you are using KONAMI ID, login or generate first before linking your game data to it.

4. Done!

If you did everything correctly, your account is now saved so you don't have to worry about losing it if your phone is broken, a data error or if you uninstall the game. You will have to re-download all of the data files though.

Using your account on a different device

When you want to use your account on a different device, you will need to log in to your account. When you first launch the game, before you tap "INITIATE LINK!", tap the button below for "Data Transfer" and log into your account.

KONAMI ID

If you set up using a KONAMI ID, simply log in to your registered account that you linked your game data to. If you are using Google Play Services, make sure you are logged in to the right account.

Account Recovery

If you lost your account before you managed set up a data transfer, you can try recovering it from the "Contact Us" and "Submit Player Data Recovery Inquiry" from the gear icon in-game.

1. Tap a gear-shaped icon

2. Tap "Contact Us"

3. Read through the description & Tap the button

4. Submit inquiry

You will need to provide your information as accurately as possible for them to be able to identify that it is yours. Simply giving them your player ID is not enough, since anyone can look that up and is not a very reliable information. Try to remember stuff like deck names, latest card obtained of certain rarity or what device you used it on.

Next step is to wait patiently and check your email for a reply from their support team.

I'm sorry but I'm tired of people trying to make light of this absolute display of unprofessional-ism. NOTHING ABOUT THIS IS OK. It's 🔥 and I'm about to start getting more assertive with this so called "customer support team." More like customer inconvenience team. Furthermore people that stand up for this kind of this tyranny spare us. It's all bull$#%# and nobody cares about your opinion especially when it doesn't mean 🔥 and it's wrong.

Konami duel links customer support is god awful and I'm sure they will lose a lot more people because of this. Kind of hope they do honestly. Anyone that's coming on here to see if they can get their account back just give up. Unless you spent money, it's not worth it. The "team" that handles duel links doesn't give a 🔥 that you want your account back. They actually avoid any conversation with you at all. Especially when you ask why is it going to take this long? It's 🔥. Hope someone does find a way to sue.

You are god awful as well for being such a stupid loud-mouthed whiner. Who do you think you kids are, being disrespectful to your elders. The konami team is obviously composed of veterans in the gaming industry so why they should care about one kid crying in a corner when you are obviously at fault for your lost account. Pathetic. Such attitude is not permitted here in asian culture, spoiled brat

Professionalism? Telling me that MAYBE I will get my account back in 6 months??? Come on, they just want our money!!

My heart goes out to all of you guys in the same situation as I. It's tough dealing with Konami support. And I honestly feel that it's getting worse. Now Konami is quoting players 6 weeks to restore accounts. My advice to you all is if you're willing to wait, then go for it. Personally, im only willing to wait another week tops. I feel that this is an issue that SHOULD be fixed within a couple days. It has been over a week now for me. Kinda sad because we're missing out on in game events and such but im hoping that everything will turn out okay. I have given KONAMI (2) different receipt screenshots so far.

I feel sorry too about all this and the money I spent. I sent them like 30 emails because they would not answer to me, and at the end they replied that the recovery will take about 4 months. Personally, I quit.

Guys I sent them 3 purchase receipts from google store as they asked and they told me that the issue will be handled by the responsible department. A couple days later they blame me that the receipts were fake!!!! Is this a new way to deceive you and get your money?? I had spent like 60€, not as much as others but still...

Can't believe these kids.. they swear and use curse words at avery young age... poor konami, have to endure all these little whippersnappers

Forgive me if I'm wrong, maybe if any students of law see this they can correct me, but if Konami knows about this problem, doesn't warn anyone and doesn't fix this, and keeps everyone's money, that is a scam and anyone affected could be part of a class-action lawsuit, no?

I agree that it's hopefully an oversight. I myself am having account issues after restoring my phone, luckily I hadn't made a purchase yet, though my lost time I invested is still something I'll never get back and that's still frustrating. I can't imagine the frustration you guys who sunk money into it. Hope ot gets resolved for everyone, cheers.

Thanks Mik, it has to be frustrating even if you didn't spend money. We put time into it. Nobody should have to do all that mindless grinding all over again. I'm pretty sure people wont either. I sure as won't start all over again. Cheers.

To those who don't understand what is going on and want to come on here acting like we are just idiots. There was no indication that we had to link the game to Konami account. You start the game and people like myself, may have assumed that the data was stored on Icloud (especially considering my duel links account is connected to my icloud account) my story is my game was stuck on loading screen so i started to trouble shoot. nothing was working so i figured the good old fashion reinstall would do the trick. So yeah I made a mistake but that doesn't justify the fact that they made a mistake by failing to make it clear to the consumers that you must link account to transfer or restore data. The fact that I had to go on here to find out is a problem alone. Before you say anything too ask yourself, why do they have so many inquiries? Well that is why my friend. No hate just want people to get where some of us are coming from. Thank you for your time. Peace.

I am among those who lost their account accidentally... I submitted the recovery form and they asked me on 2 march to send them purchase receipts and as many details as possible. Then on 6 march they told me that they would send my request to the responsible department... Ever since then they did not send me sth else, it was then yesterday that I sent them an email asking about an update on the process, and they replied today that my account will be restored 2 months later!!!! The same will happen for all other users who are in the same process because they have never seen so many requests before!!! It's too late now, and I spent $100... I feel such a fool...

Like the fact that I went through this same process with DBZ Dokkan battle and it was handled in 3 days...same ID system and I didn't have to send any snap shots of anything they were able to very identity right away and handled the situation very professionally. So..yah enough said.

Sorry you're experiencing that. This past week has been a rollercoaster of emails and waiting. I have sent (2) valid receipts of purchase to Konami because apparently they needed another one... They have have "talked to the head of department" as well. I'm not sure if they're playing games with me or are actually going to do anything. But in the meantime, I don't mind waiting another week.
<< Anonymous(Richard)

and if they have so many inquiries, ask yourself really, why is that? HMM?? let's see probably because they don't tell us that we have to link the account Konami's website. So before anyone else wants to come on here and act like they know everything about what's going on please don't waste your time or ours. Thanks. peace.

Ok update. NOW, Konami is telling me to send ANOTHER screenshot of a different receipt. WTF? Cmon man. Ugh, irritating.
Ken (actual update!)
Hey everyone I'm back sooner than I had anticipated. I'm going to ignore the useless posts and comments below and continue to help haha. So, I got an email early this morning from Konami (finally). They asked me to send screen shots of receipts. -_- lol Hopefully this mean I'm on my way to getting my account back. Not great info or anything but just want everyone to know what happens and what's happening. Thanks, later.

In the meantime, I have NONE. Care to blurt out your tear-jerking story so that I can finally put a closure to this curiosity of mine?

It is official. Their policy from now on is not to proceed to any recovery account anymore. The reason is that they are overwhelmed with a huge amount of requests everyday, hence they are not able to handle the situation anymore. The thing is that Konami wont expicitly reject these requests, since they will forward the issue to the competent department, however no answer will ever come. I just wanted you to know the truth, I also am one of their victims, I dont know if there is anything we can do...

Not all of us are careless, but like you care anyway...The problem is the absence of an efficient and honest policy on behalf of Konami for data loss. I would have accepted it if they said from the beginning that recovery account is not possible for all users. However, they chose to deceive us by promising that recovery would be possible after 4-8 weeks, whixh is an absolute lie from now on.
