How to top up account using skins - Pay by Skins

Topping up your account in our service is very simple. Follow the steps outlined below to top up your account using skins from your Steam inventory.


  1. Go to the “Add funds” tab and choose "Pay By Skins" payment method.
  2. In the panel, select skins you want to use to your payment and click the “Add funds to your account” button.
  3. In the next step we will create a trade offer for you. This trade offer needs to be accepted by you at the Steam platform and confirmed using Steam Guard authenticator.
  4. Due to Steam’s updated Trade Protection policy, after you accept a trade offer, funds will be credited either immediately or after 8 days.

In the Pay By Skins panel you can always see the exact breakdown:

  • Receive now → the amount you get instantly after sending the skins.
  • Receive after 8 days → the amount that will be credited after 8 days.


To protect your inventory, make sure to verify that the offer is correct before you accept it in the Steam mobile app. In case you accept a trade offer that didn't come from us, you could risk losing your skins irreversibly.

Steam Trade Protection


Steam Trade Protection is a security system introduced by Steam.

Because of it, the funds become available only after an 8-day waiting period.

Instant Unlock


Pending offers

With Instant Unlock, you can speed up your pending deposit without waiting 8 days.

If you have a pending balance from a skins deposit, you can unlock it by making an additional deposit using another payment method.


Example: If you have $10 pending in the Pending Offers section, you can top up your account with $10 or more via another payment method. Once you do, the pending funds will be unlocked immediately and added to your balance — no need to wait 8 days.
