First of all, what is the Steam Wallet? In short, it’s a digital currency method. Valve introduced it in December 2012, along with the Steam Community Market. Each user can add money to the Steam Wallet using different methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But why do you need to use it? Here, you can see the short list of features:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, it’s time to realize how to add money to Steam Wallet. Let’s check all the methods below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we already mentioned, you can add funds to your Steam Wallet using two methods: classic and alternate. We will return to alternate methods later, but now we should explore the most common and simplest option: using a bank card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For better understanding, we provide a step-by-step tutorial on how to put money in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Firstly, you need to log in to your Steam account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are two main ways to do it:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have Steam Guard<\/a> enabled by the Steam Mobile App, you must confirm your authorization or code sent to your email address or phone number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As soon as you open the platform’s home page, you cannot find the Steam Wallet. The reason lies in a small complication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You need to find your nickname close to your avatar account. Next, choose “Account details” and tap on it.<\/p>\n\n\n The last step in this section is to find the button “Add funds to your Steam Wallet” and tap on it.<\/p>\n\n\n Now, you need to choose preset values or enter a custom amount you want to purchase. There is a minimum fund level, which currently depends on your region and currency.<\/p>\n\n\n Just choose the best suits you and go ahead to the last step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you choose a purchase amount, you need to choose a payment method and agree to the terms of the Steam Subscriber Agreement<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n The last thing to do is click “Purchase” and get funds in your Steam Wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, you can put money in the Steam Wallet using other alternate methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are three most common of them:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s check the details of all of them below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first alternate way to put funds on the Steam Wallet is by using Third-Party Services. This could be a great method if you cannot refill your Wallet with bank cards. Still, you should know that these services could have high fees (over 15%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moreover, you must check each one to ensure that it is trustworthy and has many positive reviews from other users. Some of them could be scammers, so double-check to prevent any suspicious activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One more method is using Steam Gift Cards<\/a> (or Steam Wallet Codes). These gift cards could be virtual or physical and contain a special code. Once you enter that code on your Steam account, you refill your Wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are two nuances you should know about Steam Gift Cards:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, one of the most popular ways to top up your Steam Wallet is selling CS2 skins on the platform. The commission of the Steam Marketplace is only 15%. In return, you get a high level of security and safety. Also, the money from selling arrives instantly, meaning you can use it as soon as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The last question we should explore is how much you can add to your Steam Wallet. In truth, everything is simple. The maximum funds you can have in your wallet is $2,000 USD. Of course, there could be small changes depending on different currencies and regions. Still, $2,000 is a standard for Steam users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you can see, it is a great feature you can use at any time to achieve different goals, such as managing your spending or gifting CS2 skins to your friends. Just choose the refill method that suits you best and try Valve’s digital wallet right now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
