The Steam Wallet is a feature Valve has implemented into their Steam content delivery system as of October 1st, 2010. Steam Wallet is essentially a bank on Steam which contains money to be spent on games, DLCs and in-game content. Money is 'pre-loaded' so that bank details do not have to be exchanged at the time of purchase. This simplifies purchases in-game, such as in the Mann Co. Store. Funds can be added to the steam wallet when you purchase a game, purchase items from the Mann. Co store or without buying anything. Adding funds to the steam wallet is nearly identical to simply purchasing a game. There is currently no method to gift other users steam wallet funds. The wallet is currently the only way to purchase items from the Mann Co. Store.

Pricing

You can add funds to your wallet in increments on the Steam Website or whilst visiting the Mann Co. Store. These increments are:

  • $5.00/£4.00/€5.00
  • $10.00/£10.00/€10.00
  • $25.00/£25.00/€25.00
  • $50.00/£50.00/€50.00
  • $100.00/£100.00/€100.00

When adding funds through the Mann Co. Store, you don't have to follow these set increments as they only apply if you are putting money into your Steam Wallet through the Steam Website. Instead you are given the option to put in the exact amount needed for your transaction provided that amount is more than the minimum amount you can put in the wallet, that being $5.00/£4.00/€5.00.

ALL STEAM FEES ARE PAYABLE IN ADVANCE AND ARE NOT REFUNDABLE IN WHOLE OR IN PART. Steam may make available an account balance associated with your Account (the “Steam Wallet”). You may place funds in your Steam Wallet up to a maximum amount determined by Valve, by credit card, prepaid card, promotional code, or any other payment method accepted by Steam. You may use Steam Wallet funds to purchase Subscriptions or make transactions within Subscriptions, where Steam Wallet transactions are enabled. Funds added to the Steam Wallet are non-refundable and non-transferable. Steam Wallet funds have no value outside Steam and can only be used to purchase Subscriptions and related content via Steam (including but not limited to games offered on the Steam Store). To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Steam Wallet funds that are deemed abandoned or unused by law will not be returned or restored.

When your account uses your Steam Wallet to fund a purchase, you authorize Valve to deduct the amount of the purchase from your Steam Wallet. If you do not have sufficient funds in your Steam Wallet to make a purchase and you have previously entered your credit card information, we may automatically charge your credit card a minimum amount determined by Valve to make the purchase, even if such minimum amount exceeds the cost of your purchase. Any difference between the minimum charge and the cost of the purchase will be credited to your Steam Wallet.
