Check the FAQs below for some added info on how to gift a game on Steam with a Startselect Steam Gift Card:

Can I gift my old games to a friend?

No. You can’t gift a game you’ve bought for yourself and already played. But you can share access to your Games library.

Can I let my friend choose what game they want?

No. But you can see if your friend has a Wishlist set up on their account.

I have a duplicate game. Can I send it as a gift?

Yes. In some cases, games will come with duplicate copies that are meant to be sent as gifts.

What if the recipient already has the game?

If the person already has the game you’re gifting in their library, you won’t be able to select them as a recipient.

How will I know if someone received my gift?

Steam will send a notification advising the recipient has accepted your gift. You can also see the status of your gift in the ‘Manage Gifts and Guest Passes’ section.

Do Steam gifts ever expire?

Yes. A recipient has 30 days to either accept the gift or reject it. If it is not accepted, or the time runs out, the amount will be credited to your Steam Wallet.
