Trade Protection Update – What It Means for CSGORoll
You might’ve seen the recent update from Valve - they’ve introduced a new feature called Trade Protection. It's available in some games like CS2, and it lets you reverse a trade if you lose access to your account and someone steals your items. Basically, it’s a safety net to help protect against account takeovers and item scams.
Here's how it works;
Once you confirm a trade involving items from a game that supports Trade Protection - like Counter Strike 2 - the items are sent over instantly and can be used in-game right away. But the person who sent them still has the option to reverse the trade.
For the next 7 days, those items are also locked on the receiver’s end, meaning they can’t be traded, modified or consumed in any way. After that week is up, the protection expires, the trade becomes permanent and the item can be freely traded again with no option to reverse it.
What does this mean for CSGORoll’s P2P trading system?
To make things smoother, CSGORoll now lets you access part of your coins right away with Instant Credits - even if the trade hasn’t fully settled yet. How much you can access depends on your activity, which you build up by being active, playing and trusted on the site.
Here’s how the Instant Credit breaks down:
- Tier 1: 0 coin limit
- Tier 2: 100 coins limit
- Tier 3: 200 coins limit
- Tier 4: 500 coins limit
- Tier 5: 1000 coins limit
- Tier 6: 2000 coins limit
- Tier 7: 3000 coins limit
Note that tiers, limits, and penalties may change over time. CSGORoll also reserves the right to take immediate action against anyone trying to exploit or bypass the system.
If you try to reverse trades that have already been completed, expect serious consequences.
To summarize:
If you’re sending CS2 skins: Your coins are safe. While the trade is under the 7-day protection period, your balance won't be credited right away to keep things secure. Once that week is up, your coins will be automatically credited ready to use like normal.
If you’re receiving CS2 skins: You’re covered too. If, for any reason, the trade gets reversed during the protection window, your CSGORoll coins will be sent back to your account, and the sender punished. No stress, no hassle - we’ve got your back.
Trade Reversals: Penalties Explained
When a trade is reversed during the protected period, penalties will be applied. The penalty depends on who reversed the trade:If the user listing the item reverses the trade:
- They receive a 30-day trade ban from Steam.
- If they received instant coins for the trade, rewards will be locked until the instant coin amount is repaid.
- If they did not receive any instant coins, they would only get the trade ban from Steam.
If the receiver reverses the trade:
- They receive a minimum penalty of 20% of the total trade value. This amount is credited to the other user. All of this is done automatically.
- If the lister received instant coins in the reverted trade by the buyer, and that amount is greater than 20%, the penalty will increase to cover the full instant coin amount.
- This means the total penalty can range from 20% up to 100% of the trade value.
The coin penalty that is given if the receiver reverses the trade will always be transferred to the lister of the item. Either by crediting them coins, or if they already received instant coins, they get to keep those.

We’re already working on new tools and options to help you manage your account better, and while this update adds a small delay to trading, we don’t expect it to cause major disruptions.
