Steam Refund Policy

REFUND POLICY

Steam lets the customer ask for the refund for different reasons, for example, problems with the hardware, the customer got the wrong game, or the customer simply changed his mind after the game started.

In the case that the refund has been exercised within the mandatory return time and the game has been played for less than, two hours Valve condones its refund. Still it allows customers to request a refund and Valve will consider the refund request even if the said requirement does not fit the policy.

Customers in some areas may be entitled to further remedies when the games are defective. You will be refunded within a week of making the request in Steam Wallet money or the source of payment used. But some of the payment methods may disallow return to the originating payment method.

Refunds are supported by the following payment methods in your country:

  • Mastercard 
  • Visa

  • Skrill 
  • Credit Card (Intranational)
