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 keep things running smoothly and securely, coins from any traded skin will now be locked for 7 days while the status of the trade is still in the Trade Protection window. This change is in place to protect both the person sending the item and the one receiving it, in case any party tries to reverse the trade after the skin’s already been sent.
We’ll also be cracking down hard on any attempts to abuse this system. If you try to reverse trades that have already 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.
Looking ahead
Yeah, change can be a bit unsettling - we get it. But rest assured, our top priority at CSGORoll is keeping your coins and skins safe. 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.
As always, we’ve got your back. Thanks for sticking with us.
