Top Up Steam in Belarus, Uzbekistan and Other CIS Countries
In Belarus, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, Steam has no local currency, and the wallet is kept in dollars. The bot tops up these wallets by login, no password needed.
Why dollars
Steam supports a few dozen currencies. For countries whose currencies aren't on that list, prices are shown and charged in dollars. Valve groups these nine countries into a separate price region, "CIS — U.S. Dollar", and advises developers to set prices there lower than in the US.
Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine aren't in this region: their wallets are in tenge, rubles and hryvnia. Kazakhstan has its own page.
How to top up
- Open the bot with the button on this page and send your Steam login. The bot checks that the account exists.
- Choose the USD currency and type the amount in dollars.
- Check the price and confirm. When the money reaches the wallet, the bot sends you a message.
The first time, it's handy to test with a small amount: the minimum is only $0.15. If the top-up fails, the money returns to your bot balance.
What it costs
A dollar wallet needs no currency conversion: only the 5% fee is added to the top-up amount. See the top-up price page for details.
Belarus
Steam directly accepts cards from the country where the account's store is registered, and cards from not every Belarusian bank go through. With the bot this doesn't matter: you top up the bot balance with cryptocurrency or the "CIS" method, if it's available for your country, and the bot tops up the dollar wallet by login.
Uzbekistan
Steam has no Uzbek som, and Uzcard and Humo are domestic payment systems that work in som inside the country. So you can't pay Steam with them directly. With the bot, the dollar wallet is topped up by login, and the bot balance with cryptocurrency or the "CIS" method, if it's available for your country.
Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Georgia and others
The setup is the same: a wallet in dollars, a top-up by login, and the bot balance paid whichever way suits you. Which methods are available for your country right now is shown in the bot, in the "Top up" section.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know my wallet is in dollars?
Open the "Account details" page in Steam: your wallet balance is shown there with a currency sign. Store prices are shown in the same currency.
Will a Steam Wallet code in rubles or tenge work?
No. Steam Wallet codes can only be redeemed in the wallet's currency. A top-up by login doesn't depend on codes.
The top-up failed. What should I do?
The money has already returned to your bot balance. Check that you entered the login, not the nickname, and that you chose USD. If both are right, write to support at @BenefitSupportBot with your order number.
