Valve has implemented a new policy on Steam which limits user accounts which have spent less than $5 through the store.
The new policy is to protect users from phishing scams and spam.
If the users hasn’t spent anything on the store, they at least have to have $5 sitting in their Steam Wallet. This will limit accounts from performing the following actions:
- Sending friend invites
- Opening group chat
- Voting on Greenlight, Steam Reviews and Workshop items
- Participating in the Steam Market
- Posting frequently in the Steam Discussions
- Gaining Steam Profile Levels (Locked to level 0) and Trading Cards
- Submitting content on the Steam Workshop
- Posting in an item’s Steam Workshop Discussions
- Accessing the Steam Web API
- Using browser and mobile chat
The restrictions noted above will not be lifted unless money has been spent or the Steam Wallet has the minimum required funds.
