Steam's Subscriber Agreement explicitly prohibits automated trading services. Using a skin trading bot can result in a permanent account ban and forfeiture of your entire inventory.
Why Skin Trading Bots Were Never a Good Idea
For years, third-party websites offered automated skin trading bot services that promised fast, anonymous trades. The reality was different: these bots required you to send your items to a middleman account, breaking Steam's terms of service and exposing you to exit scams. When a bot operator disappears or gets banned, your skins disappear with them.
CSBoard eliminates this risk entirely. Trades execute directly between two Steam accounts using the native trade offer system. No bot ever holds your items. You maintain full custody until the moment the trade completes.
