All those skin gambling sites are scams, never use your steam login on any third party site, unless you are willing to not only lose your account and maybe skins if you have any worth something.

It's a little late to worry now, isn't it? Your profile name history is full of well-known scam sites. You've already given away access to your account.

So the answer is no.

Also, you should know that scam sites delay when they scam and steal your account, they're smart enough not to do it the second you sign in. It can be delayed by months in some cases.


You MUST also take the following steps to secure your account:

1. Scan for malware https://www.malwarebytes.com/
2. Deauthorize all other devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
3. Change passwords from a clean computer
4. Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
5. Revoke the API key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey - This field should be blank

Do NOT trade until your account is secured.

Steam does not return inventory items or wallet funds: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=3415-WAFH-6433#noreturn

It is safe to login to a 3rd party site as long as said site is going thorough the Steam API. The problem is these sites can easily swap out the legit page for a fake on and many people won't notice.

The site you linked is currently using a legit API login, but that doesn't mean it always will be. The safer option is to just avoid these types sites completey if you aren't confident in your ability to discern a phishing attack from a real login page.

There are many reputable sites that utilize Steam login that have nothing to do with trading and are perfectly safe, https://steamdb.info/ for example.

Does it make a difference? the sites in your name are scam, the site groups you are in, are also scam.

Best practice is to login at the official Steam website first. If you visit the third party site immediately afterwards you will only have to press the 'Sign-in through Steam' button. Only if the site is dodgy (or gone rogue) will it prompt you for your username and password.

Looking at your name history of scam sites and ones linked to phishing, why are you bothering to care now? Your account is probably already shadow-hijacked as we speak. Although you haven't advertised as many as some users, you certainly have been showcasing the very worst ones.

Dat name history tho...

Good luck with your account.

It's not so much a question of is it safe, so much as with the number of scam sites you have visited, I'm keen to know how on earth they will be fighting over each other to steal your account.

That's something I'd like to see.
