On PirateSwap, you’ll receive a Trade Bonus with your first three transactions, giving you extra value when swapping skins.

The bonus is a percentage of each transaction’s value, so the higher the value of your trade, the bigger the bonus you’ll receive. This bonus applies only to trading—not to selling skins. Please also note that there’s a minimum deposit value to qualify for the Trade Bonus. For the first trade, that’s $5, for the second: $7, and for the third transaction, you need to spend at least $10 to qualify for the bonus. 

If you’re looking to upgrade your inventory, this is the perfect way to get even more out of your first few swaps. Don’t miss out—take advantage of the Trade Bonus with your first steps on PirateSwap!

Steam Guard is a security feature from Steam that helps protect your account from unauthorized access. It adds an extra layer of protection by requiring a one-time code whenever you log in from a new device or browser. This code is sent through the Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator in the Steam app.

To trade on PirateSwap, your Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator must be enabled for at least 7 days. Without it, your account won’t be eligible for trading.

## How to Check if Steam Guard is Enabled

1. Open Steam on your phone and go to the Steam Guard section in the menu.
2. If you see a one-time login code, Steam Guard is active.
3. If it’s not enabled, [follow the instructions](https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/06B0-26E6-2CF8-254C) in the Steam app settings to activate it.

Keeping Steam Guard enabled helps secure your trades and account from unauthorized access. If you change devices or disable Steam Guard, you’ll need to wait 7 days before you can trade again.

A Trade URL is a unique link that allows third-party sites like PirateSwap to send you trade offers automatically. It’s an essential part of the trading process, ensuring that skins can be exchanged quickly and securely without manual intervention.

To trade on PirateSwap, you need to set your Trade URL correctly. You can find or update your Steam Trade URL by going to [Steam’s trade settings](http://steamcommunity.com/my/tradeoffers/privacy) and copying the link. Once added to your PirateSwap account, our system will use it to send you trade offers seamlessly.

The Equipment tab on PirateSwap is where your Trade Locked skins are stored until they become tradable. If you trade for an item that has an active Trade Lock, it won’t go directly to your Steam inventory—instead, it will wait in your PirateSwap Equipment until the lock expires.

Once the Trade Lock is lifted, you’ll be able to withdraw the item to your Steam inventory with a single click. This allows you to secure skins in advance, even if they aren’t immediately tradable.

You can access the Equipment tab from the Trade screen anytime to check the status of your locked items and see how many days remain before they can be claimed.

What is the "Equipment" tab on PirateSwap?

A Trade Lock is a restriction placed by Steam on certain CS2 skins, preventing them from being traded for a set period of time. This usually happens when a skin has been recently acquired through a trade or purchase, or has been dropped from a case.

On PirateSwap, you can still trade for Trade Locked items—they’ll be stored safely in your PirateSwap Equipment until the lock expires. Once the restriction is lifted, you’ll be able to withdraw them to your Steam inventory.

Trade Locked items in the Trade tab are easy to spot. They have a small padlock icon on their tile, along with the number of days remaining until they become tradable (e.g., 8D = 8 days). This helps you plan your trades and know exactly when you’ll be able to claim your new skins!
