Top up your Steam balance

Steam Top-Up from Russia and the CIS: rubles to your wallet by login

A Steam top-up means crediting funds to your account's wallet (Steam Wallet), which then pays for games, DLC, in-game purchases and items from the Community Market. Since spring 2022 Valve no longer accepts Russian cards, so the in-client «Add funds» button simply fails to charge for RU accounts.

We solve it by login: you enter your Steam sign-in name, pick an amount in rubles — and the funds land on the wallet through a working channel. There is no UID here like in mobile games.

• Markup on your first top-up — 2% + 1 ₽: 2% is the payment-channel fee, 1 ₽ a token charge, and we add no markup of our own on the first order
• After that — a 0.1–2% level discount on the site plus up to 3% for a single order's amount
• You choose the amount yourself — free input from 50 ₽, not fixed packs
• Only your login (sign-in name) is needed; no password or Steam Guard
• We work with Russia and most of the CIS; the wallet is topped up in the account region's currency
• No VPN on your side

The 2% + 1 ₽ markup on your first order: where the number comes from

No catch, just arithmetic. The first order's final price is made of two honest parts — 2% + 1 ₽: the 2% is the fee of the payment channel that delivers funds to the wallet around the blocked routes, and the 1 ₽ is a token charge.

We add no markup of our own on the first order and earn nothing on it: our interest is that you try the service on Steam and come back to top up other games in the catalog.

For comparison, typical intermediary fees on the market are 5–12%, and «0%» in ads usually means the fee is hidden in the exchange rate or a paid subscription. Our number is single and shown before you pay. The offer applies once per Steam login — a second order on the same account switches to standard terms and level discounts.

After the first time: levels and volume discount

The first top-up is an introduction; after it the loyalty program kicks in:

• Site level — it grows with purchases, and each level gives a permanent 0.1% to 2% discount on orders
• Volume discount — the larger a single top-up, the lower the markup, down to −3%
• Both discounts stack and apply automatically, with no promo codes to enter

The logic is simple: dropping 5000 ₽ at once beats ten payments of 500, and for regulars Steam works out noticeably cheaper than for random passers-by.

What the Steam Wallet is and which currency it's topped up in

The Steam Wallet is your account's internal balance. Its currency is hard-tied to the account region: rubles for Russian accounts, tenge for Kazakh ones, dram for Armenian ones. You can't switch the currency on the fly: Steam sets the region by country and payment history.

So when ordering it matters which region you have — the credit goes in the wallet's currency, and the amount is converted at a rate shown before payment. Not sure about your account region — message us in chat before ordering, we'll check together.

The login is not the nickname: what exactly to enter

The most common mistake is to confuse the login and the nickname. The nickname (profile name) is visible to other players and can change daily — it's useless for a top-up. The login is the name you type in the «Username» field when signing in to Steam; it's unique and doesn't change.

Finding it is easy:

• Open the Steam client and click your nickname top-right
• Choose «Account details»
• The very top line reads «Steam account: your_login»

Enter exactly that string into the order, with no spaces or extra characters: funds go to the account with this login.

Why you can't top up directly by card from Russia

Steam itself works in Russia: games launch, the library is there, accounts are alive. Only payment is broken — Visa and Mastercard left Russia in 2022, and Valve doesn't accept «Mir» cards.

The top-up button in the client stayed, but a payment with a Russian card fails with an error. A top-up by login closes exactly this gap: rubles reach the wallet without a foreign card, without changing the account region and without any hassle on your side.

Russia and most of the CIS: whose accounts we top up

We work with accounts from these regions:

• Russia — wallet in rubles
• Kazakhstan — in tenge
• Armenia — in dram
• Ukraine — in hryvnia
• Plus: Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan

Each region's wallet is topped up in its own currency, with the conversion rate shown at checkout. If your region isn't on the list or you're unsure which region the account is, message us in chat before paying: we'll tell you whether a credit is possible and in which currency.

What the Steam balance is spent on

Wallet funds are the platform's universal currency:

• Games and DLC in the store, including sales and pre-orders
• In-game purchases in projects that support the Steam Wallet — from CS2 cases to battle passes of online shooters
• Items from the Community Market
• Gifts for friends

The only «can't»: withdrawing the money back or moving it to another account — the balance stays inside Steam forever, and that's Valve's rule, not ours.

Minimum, limits and free amount

The minimum order is from 50 ₽ when paying via SBP or card, and from 100 ₽ when paying from your site balance. Beyond that the step is free: you can put in exactly enough for a specific game on sale, or a large sum for the future at once.

The upper bound rests on Steam's own limits: the wallet has a balance cap, and new accounts have their internal Valve thresholds. The final amount to pay depends on the payment method you choose and is always shown before you confirm the order.

Planning a large top-up — better split it into parts or check the current cap in chat before paying.

A brand-new Steam account: one nuance

If the account was just created and is empty, Steam may be finicky with wallet credits.

The working rule: before topping up, open the store and add any free game to your library — the account stops counting as «zero», and the credit goes through normally. Accounts with any history at all aren't affected.

No password or Steam Guard needed

To credit the wallet we need neither a password, nor a Steam Guard code, nor a sign-in — the login is enough. You hand over no sign-in data, don't risk your session, and don't need to change your password after the order.

This is the key difference from orders that require temporary account access: here there's none at all. Your only responsibility is a login without typos.

Crediting times and what to do if the balance doesn't arrive

Crediting to the wallet is automatic: orders are accepted at any time of day, day and night, and the top-up itself usually takes a few minutes. It's not a fixed term — under high load or channel-side checks it can take longer.

The order status is always visible in your account. If the status is stuck for a long time or the balance hasn't appeared in Steam — first check that the login is correct, then message support chat with your order number: we'll check on our side and complete the credit or work through the situation step by step.

Wallet top-up or a gift card — what to choose

Steam top-up (this page) is an arbitrary amount straight to the wallet by login: handy when you need an exact sum for a purchase. Steam gift cards are fixed-denomination codes: you activate them yourself or give them as a gift, they also top up the wallet, but they're tied to the card's currency.

For a specific spend on your own account — take the top-up; need a gift or a fixed denomination — look at the cards.
