Get free Steam credit - is that possible?

Rumors are circulating that it is possible to get free Steam credit. We'll tell you what's behind this myth.

Top up your Steam balance for free: tips and tricks

• In principle, it is not possible to top up the credit completely free of charge. Offers and hacks that supposedly make this possible are usually packed with malware.
• With various hacks you can possibly steal credit, but this is illegal and you risk the blocking of your account up to legal consequences.
• The only legal method is to top up the credit with trading cards. Many free games have trading cards that you can unlock while playing.
• You can find out whether a game has trading cards in the Steam store. The sub-item "Steam Trading Cards" must be in the game properties.
• You can sell these cards on the community market and earn smaller amounts.
