How the game tag checker works

Every game keeps its own name directory. Each checker asks the game that owns the tag.

01

Enter the tag

Type it exactly as you want it in game, including capitalization and any tagline after #.

02

Pick the game

Choosing a game opens its dedicated checker with your tag already filled in and checked.

03

Read the result

A matching profile means taken. No match means the tag appears available right now.

Pick your game checker

Each page explains that game's naming rules and shows what a taken tag looks like.

Minecraft name checker

Java username

Live Mojang lookup for Java Edition names, with profile details when a name is taken.

3-16 characters, letters, numbers, underscore

Open Minecraft checker →

Roblox name checker

Roblox username

Checks the Roblox username directory and shows the matching profile when one exists.

3-20 characters, one underscore allowed

Open Roblox checker →

Counter-Strike 2 name checker

Steam custom URL

Checks the name against Steam custom profile URLs, then shows that account's CS2 career stats.

3-32 characters, hyphens and underscores allowed

Open Counter-Strike 2 checker →

VALORANT name checker

Riot ID

Looks up a complete Riot ID through the official Riot account API.

GameName#Tagline, for example Player One#NA1

Open VALORANT checker →

League of Legends name checker

Riot ID

Same Riot ID lookup, framed around summoner naming and region taglines.

GameName#Tagline, for example Player One#EUW

Open League of Legends checker →

Why one tag is not free everywhere

Length limits, allowed characters, and the shape of the identity itself differ from game to game. That is why a single global gamertag lookup does not exist.

Check the tag on social platforms →
Minecraft: one global username

3-16 characters using letters, numbers, and underscores. Names freed by account changes can become available again.

Roblox: one unique username

3-20 characters with at most one underscore, and it cannot start or end with one.

CS2: a Steam identity

The scoreboard name is a Steam persona name and is not unique. The unique, claimable part is the Steam custom profile URL.

Riot games: name plus tagline

Arcane Fox#NA1 and Arcane Fox#EUW are two different identities, so a shared game name is allowed.

A result is not a reservation

Availability is checked at the moment you search. Only the game itself can confirm and save the tag.

Choosing a gamertag that lasts

The tag on your scoreboard often becomes the name on your clips, your channel, and your team roster. Short tags read faster in a killfeed, pronounceable tags survive voice chat, and tags without filler digits are easier for other players to remember and search for.

  • Keep it short: under 12 characters stays readable in every UI.
  • Say it out loud: if it is hard to call out, teammates will shorten it for you.
  • Skip filler digits: numbers added to dodge a collision age badly.
  • Think past the game: a tag you can also use as a handle grows with you.

What each result means

  • Taken: the game returned an existing account or profile for that tag.
  • Available: nothing matched at lookup time, so the tag appears free.
  • Invalid: the tag breaks that game's length or character rules.
  • Error: the game's service could not answer; try again shortly.

Nothing you type is stored, and no game login is ever required.

Game tag questions

What a game tag is, what gets checked, and what the result does and does not guarantee.

What is a game tag?

A game tag, also called a gamertag, is the public name other players see in a game. Some games use a single unique username, such as Minecraft or Roblox. Others use a name plus a short tagline, such as a Riot ID written as GameName#Tagline.

How do I check if a game tag is available?

Enter the tag on this page, choose the game you play, and the matching checker queries that game's own account service. A profile match means the tag is taken. No match means it appears available at the moment of the lookup.

Which games can I check here?

Minecraft Java Edition, Roblox, Counter-Strike 2, VALORANT, and League of Legends. CS2 names are Steam identities, and VALORANT and League of Legends share one Riot ID, so a result on one of those two applies to the other.

Is one game tag available on every game?

No. Every game keeps its own name directory and its own naming rules, so a tag can be free in Minecraft and taken in Roblox. Check each game you care about, then check social platforms if you stream or post clips.

Does an available result reserve the tag for me?

No. Each result is a live lookup, not a reservation. Another player can claim the tag at any time, and each game can reject names under its own naming policy.

What makes a good gamertag?

Keep it short enough to read on a scoreboard, easy to say out loud on voice chat, and free of numbers added only to dodge a collision. A tag that also works as a channel handle is easier to grow with.

Can I check the same tag on social platforms?

Yes. The NameCheckup homepage checks one handle across 100+ platforms and domain registrars, which is useful before you build a channel around a tag.

Is NameCheckup affiliated with these games?

No. NameCheckup is an independent tool. Minecraft, Roblox, Counter-Strike 2, VALORANT, and League of Legends are trademarks of their respective owners.
