How long do skin deposits take?

How we handle Steam's trade protection and holding period.

Updated over 6 months ago

In July 2025, Steam introduced a new policy that impacts all third-party trading platforms.

Any Rust or CS2 item that is traded now includes a 7-day protection window—during which users can reverse the trade.

What does this mean for me?

With this new system in place, users could potentially:

  • Deposit an item, play with the balance, withdraw, and then revert the original deposit to receive free credit.

  • Or simply revert their deposit after losing.

Our solution

To protect Scraps and its users, we’ve implemented a frustrating but necessary policy:

All Rust and CS2 deposits will be held for 7 days.

You will receive your balance only after the Steam trade protection period has expired. This ensures fairness and prevents abuse.
