Starting today, it is no longer possible to top up your Steam balance using QIWI due to restrictions from the Central Bank. And this was one of the most popular methods.
But this does not mean that there are no more options for replenishing your Steam wallet in Russia. There are other methods: in some places the commission is higher, in others it is less. We have collected 5 of the most convenient options.
1. Webmoney
One of the popular methods, but it requires a little trouble.
To top up your Steam balance via Webmoney, you need a verified account with a formal certificate. To do this, you need to undergo a document check and record a video.
Transfer of money to a Webmoney account is carried out through the Telepay service. Or via SBP.
The advantage here is that Webmoney is listed among the standard payment methods right inside Steam.
2. MTS
MTS also has a special service for replenishing your Steam account.
This option is suitable for those who have a Russian or Belarusian account. You just need to indicate your Steam nickname, amount and card/SBP details. The conversion commission is up to 4%, the service itself charges a commission of 50 rubles.
It takes about 15 minutes to refill.
3. Plati.Market
On Plati.Market, everything depends only on the seller from whom you will order a replenishment. This is a large marketplace where other people offer digital goods and services.
Usually their payments go through quickly, as do replenishments. True, the commission can reach 15%. But you can pay for your purchase by any means, be it with a MIR card or with cryptocurrency.
4. Sberbank Online
You can top up your Steam wallet using this method, but there is an important limitation. It is only suitable for US accounts and tops up via USD conversion.
There are options to choose from: $5, $10, $20, $25 and $50. Transaction fee is about 6% plus conversion fee.
5. GGSel
GGSel is Plati.Market, where there are also various sellers offering Steam top-up services.
Money comes instantly, many payment methods. The commission, on average, is also about 12-15%.
6. Eleksnet-online
This service independently replenishes Steam wallets, including Russian ones. Everything happens instantly.
True, the conversion commission is decent – 12%.
7. Payberry
Finally, the last popular method for depositing money on Steam today. Transactions through Payberry are quick and the conversion fee is 10%.
The advantage is that you immediately see the amount that the service will write off from your card, taking into account the commission. Enter your login and amount and see the result.
