What is a Steam gift card and how do you top up your Wallet?

A Steam Gift Card adds funds to your Steam Wallet, which you can use for games, DLC and purchasable items in the store. Before buying, check your account currency and regional restrictions.

Check your Steam account currency

The store currency is shown next to game prices. If the store is priced in dollars, euros or pounds, choose a gift card compatible with that region. Steam may apply currency conversion or regional restrictions.

How to redeem a code

After signing in, go to Account Details and choose Redeem a Steam Gift Card or Wallet Code. Enter the code exactly and check that your balance has increased.

Common errors

• The code isn’t compatible with your account region.
• A letter or number was entered incorrectly.
• The code has already been used or hasn’t been activated by the supplier yet.
• The account is temporarily restricted due to security changes.

Security tips

Enter the code only on the official Steam website or app. Legitimate support will never ask for your account password or two-factor code. Don’t send a full image of the code to anyone.

Summary

For an error-free experience, check your account currency, amount and country before paying, and redeem the code directly on your own account once you receive it.
