Topping up your Steam balance in Russia is a very non-trivial process. Gamers use various intermediaries who periodically review the commissions
The license of QIWI Bank was recently revoked, which led to the closure of the popular method of replenishing Steam balance in Russia through the QIWI wallet. Many began to look for alternative options and began to look closely at the solution from MTS.
Recently, MTS clients noticed that they had increased the conversion commission when replenishing their Steam balance – now it is up to 10%.
There is also a note about “Including service commission – 50 rubles. Payment using the “Fast Payment System”, i.e. if the top-up amount is 400 rubles, then you will have to pay 450.
The solution from MTS is far from the only way, so people dissatisfied with the new rules can try to find an alternative.
