How to Earn Steam Wallet Funds and Points for Free

As an avid gamer and Steam user myself, I understand the desire to earn Steam wallet funds and points without spending any money. With some effort and persistence, it is possible to accumulate a decent amount of Steam currency for free. In this article, I will share various legitimate methods to get free Steam wallet codes, gift cards, and points based on my own experience.

Conduct Thorough Research on Reward Sites

There are various “Get-Paid-To” (GPT) websites that reward users with gift cards and points for completing online activities:

  • Swagbucks – Complete surveys, play games, watch videos to earn Swagbucks. Redeem for $5, $10 or $20 Steam gift cards.
  • PrizeRebel – Similar to Swagbucks. Specific Steam wallet reward available. Have earned $65 in a month here.
  • Idle-Empire – Answer surveys and offers to earn points. Redeem points for Steam wallet codes. Very popular for Steam rewards.

I recommend researching thoroughly before choosing a reward site:

  • Check legitimacy – Avoid scam websites promising unrealistic rewards
  • Read reviews regarding payment reliability and speed
  • Compare redemption rates to find most profitable site

Be Active on the Steam Community

Steam offers free points for community participation:

  • Post reviews – Well-written, helpful reviews can earn lots of upvotes and awards. Each award gives points.
  • Create guides – Produce walkthroughs, tutorials, tips and strategies for games. Can also attract awards.
  • Design items – Points are given out when your skins, stickers, backgrounds etc. are rated positively by the Community.
  • Join events – Events like seasonal sales often have free points for badge upgrades.

The key is to be helpful, creative and active in the Community hub to maximize points earned.

Play Games with Rewards Platforms

Certain platforms give Steam rewards for playing games:

  • Gamehag – Earn Soul Gems for playing and completing quests. Gems can be exchanged for Steam wallet funds.
  • Buff – Run it in background while playing games, the better you play, the more Buffs (rewards currency) you earn. Redeem Buffs for Steam gift cards and game keys in the Marketplace.

These platforms mostly work by tracking your playtime and activities in games. The more you game, the more currency you can obtain. It essentially pays you to play!

Take Advantage of Promotions and Free Giveaways

It is worth checking:

  • Official Steam social media – Points, wallet credit or game giveaways do occur occasionally, though unpredictably.
  • Developers and publishers – Can find game keys, DLCs and other Steam inventory items being given out on their websites or pages.

While there is no fixed schedule, it is good to keep an eye out for these random promotions. You may get lucky!

Invest Time and Effort

With some research, creativity and effort invested into the activities mentioned, it is possible to earn $10 or more worth of Steam wallet credit and thousands of points for free over time. The key things to note:

  • Takes time – This is not a get-rich-quick scheme. Have patience and persist with the earning methods.
  • Effort pays – Put care and effort into your contributions to maximize rewards. Half-hearted attempts earn little.
  • Enjoy the process – Finding enjoyment in the earning activities makes it sustainable in the long run.

Essentially, treat this as a hobby – have fun with it and the Steam funds you accumulate will be an added bonus.

In closing, I have enjoyed the process and now have a decent Steam wallet balance earned through the above methods. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have! Let me know if you found this article helpful.
