They have reviews

these are user only so there's no telling the legitimacy of the website yet. I would call it a bit risky too buy from them.

I would avoid lords of the fallen if I were you. It has good graphics but the game play is truly awe-full. I just let my friend have, couldn't play through the whole thing.

scam site... dropped $60 on an item that never arrived. I then received a barely readable email directly from them asking for my DL or Passport information for "Verification" .. are you F*CKING kidding me??? I disputed w/ paypal & tomorrow w/ my bank directly. Gamesdeal has yet to ever deliver the key they build me for. Avoid at all means.

There is a post on Steam forums from someone who had their game account for TSW fail to verify because an upgrade key they bought from GamesDeal was a key that had been revoked by Steam. Probably someone bought the key from Steam and then cancelled the Steam purchase after reselling the key to GamesDeal.

Bottom line is that this can happen with ANY third party purchase. Even if you can get your money back from the third party vendor your account will still be locked so any characters or progress you had made will be lost.
