i've tried many websites that supposedly give steam wallet codes, only with no succesion (sorry if i am butchering the spelling of some words) at all and a lot other sites that hint that it was all a scam. i've done research on the subject and found out that steam wallet codes are verified before they are sent out as official codes for steam funding to one's account. if anyone wants to put additional information about this, you may do so without penalty.

All those sites are scams. All of them - no exceptions. That is all.

Yeah, they're scams.

PythorPlays 2019年6月1日 15時26分

yeah, i;ve known that for a while, especially since valve checks every incoming code entry to see if it's real

Why would you pose the question “Are these sites worth it?” if you know they’re scams already?

MANY years ago when I went to school I signed up to a email list thingy that was supposed to give you "money" for sending you spam emails. Never saw a dime and it got so bad that it crashed the entire school email system with something like 900.000 emails in a month.

I learnt much from that. Like how much the tech people in my school hated me after that. How I knew nothing about making money. And how much of an idiot I was for beliving such things. I've never been tricked by people outside my class in my school before and I just couldn't think that people would do that but after that incident I knew how it really was.

I would say that most people get tricked into something like this, be it email lists, giveaways, princes that have to few friends, "speaker van scam" and MORE. But most people are only tricked once and after the first, hopefully, free lesson they become immune to these things in the future.

In short, if it's free then either 1. You're the product or 2. It's to good to be true. :P

well... most sites don't work, but there are some that acctually buy steam wallet codes for the users like swagbucks and gamekit, so it's not entirely true that all wallet code sites are scams.

They are all scams. They are not legitimate sellers of those goods.

1. If you're buying Steam cards from 3rd party website online, then obviously something wrong with your logic, since you fail to clue in, you're paying online, which should give you a hint, why not go to the source which is Steam itself...

A. If buying for yourself, either buy the product at check out off Steam, or add the wallet funds yourself on Steam itself.
https://store.steampowered.com/steamaccount/addfunds

B. If buying for a friend, either gift the product to them, or gift them the funds from Steam itself.
https://store.steampowered.com/digitalgiftcards/selectgiftcard

2. Most sites that offer Steam cards that are not authorized by Steam for resell, are normally scams as the person can do a charge back, which deduct the funds from your account, which disable the games that you used the funds to buy the games with, and locks the account from making any more purchases until you pay the funds back. You may get fake codes from those scam sites, and have to fight for your money back, and the list goes on, which why even look at 3rd party websites for Steam cards??? If you have access to Credit card / bank transfer, which complete defeat the purpose of buying Steam cards online from 3rd party.

There is no such thing as free Steam wallet codes because there is ZERO profit in them for sellers. If a site was giving away free ones to users who completed X task; they would lose $BILLIONS. You want a $20 voucher, you pay $20 in real money.

Retail codes are either a) generated on a networked point of sale upon purchase when the till is open and money is retained or b) physical cards are worthless until they are activated on a till whereby the code then becomes active and can be redeemed.

Authorised retailers who are networked to sell such things can be found here https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=1193-wlxv-6514 everywhere else is a scam. As there is no profit in these, if you see a card that is $20 but is being sold for less, that means the sellers is losing money right off the bat and ultimately screams scam.

Sites promoting these freebies are malicious or are there to waste your time. Also users that try and get free money by entering fake codes (more chance of winning the lottery every week for a month) just get their accounts locked for fraudulent activity and then have to grovel to support that they were trying to defraud a foolproof system.

Bottom line, you want a wallet code, you pay for it.

Free money doesn't exist. While there's a few trustworthy (as in "deliver what they promise") services that give you a few cents for hours of surveys and other menial "work", but that's right about it. Get a job, that's the most sure way to get funds.

Most sites are ploy to sell the information you submitted to marketers. Some try to fish for information relating to your steam account. Abstaining from usage or searching these types of sites is recommended.

ph0x, you have a very good point when you say that, because if you look up your steam username like (steam user {yoursteamusername}) then the page to your profile will show up as well as all your other accounts that share the name. so that means you're probably right when you say that marketers are just using opportunities for "free money" as a method of stealing your information.

No there are some that are legit. I've used some and gotten hundreds of dollars in steam wallet codes. It's not "Free" steam money though.

They pay you in credits for doing survey's and offers which you can redeem for steam gift cards. If the site is advertising free money with no work then yeah its legit. If its a survey/offer site it could very well be legit but of course have no affiliation with steam.

@brian9824 i have used swagbucks and gotten actually valid steam wallet codes from them, so there are some sites where you have to work for your reward like swagbucks, but when you redeem your wallet code, it's a real and official wallet code, so even though most wallet code sites are scams, there are still a few sites that give valid wallet codes.
