Key Change

Starting today, CS:GO container keys purchased in-game can no longer leave the purchasing account. That is, they cannot be sold on the Steam Community Market or traded. Pre-existing CS:GO container keys are unaffected–those keys can still be sold on the Steam Community Market and traded.

Why make this change? In the past, most key trades we observed were between legitimate customers. However, worldwide fraud networks have recently shifted to using CS:GO keys to liquidate their gains. At this point, nearly all key purchases that end up being traded or sold on the marketplace are believed to be fraud-sourced. As a result we have decided that newly purchased keys will not be tradeable or marketable.

For the vast majority of CS:GO users who buy keys to open containers, nothing changes; keys can still be purchased to open containers in their inventory. They simply can no longer be traded or transacted on the Steam Community Market.

Unfortunately this change will impact some legitimate users, but combating fraud is something we continue to prioritize across Steam and our products.

If you have feedback or concerns about this change feel free to email us at CSGOTeamFeedback [at] valvesoftware.com with the subject “Key Restriction”.

It could also meant Valve is controlling key price and might increase it in the future.

But they did, though. It's to prevent the worldwide fraud.

The reason that keys are becoming untradable is that they were being abused as a convient means of money laundering and an easy way for blacklisted entities to obtain USD. Illicit activity and genuine commerce alike flowed through the key trade, but it was rife and rotten with scams and profits that funded gambling sites. The whole concept was antithetical to valve's profits, as they only made money when keys were purchased or sold on the steam market. This update will drastically reduce the total supply of keys for all future cases, I suspect that we might see marginally increased prices for future case items and a general trend towards an increase in the scarcity of knives and gloves as fewer cases are opened.

Every skin has value in keys. If keys will not be tradable, they should make steam funds withdrawable to real bank account. Same way as all online casinos do.

Steam is not a place to cashout. This is a game arcade, not casino.
