Steam Gift Country Restricted
Hello. Today I sent a gift to one of my friends.
We live in different countries and these countries are way too far away from each other. It seems that my gift is restricted. Is there any way to solve this problem and will the gift appear after a short time?

You can redeem steam gift code by changing your store country.

step :

1. go to accoun details ( click your username above right )
2. change update store region
3.check the steam gift restriction code country and try change to other country
that allow to redeem that code , then it will redeem without problem.

4. relogin your account

etc : united states , great britain , any country that not restrict.

There is nothing to do unfortunately. Steam warns you when purchasing a gift where it can be redeemed, it's important to read that information carefully. You can request a refund for the gift.

That is a very bad idea, it is against the SSA and could lead to your account getting terminated.

You agree that you will not use IP proxying or other methods to disguise the place of your residence, whether to circumvent geographical restrictions on game content, to purchase at pricing not applicable to your geography, or for any other purpose. If you do this, Valve may terminate your access to your Account.

the game might be restricted in your country so it can be illegal

I am not actually the one having the issue, it was just my friend. It seems he does not need any more suggestions and help so thanks for your replies once again. Case closed.

Well for one your bumping a 4 year old thread, and for 2 logging into his account would be a violation of the steam rules and wouldn't change his store region or remove the restriction.
