I guess so. However there is no way for me to deposit money to the bot accounts.

Is paysafecard a payment option in your country? That would be the easiest solution because PSC codes are anonymous and can be spent in increments. So you could get a $50 code and use it to fund 10 accounts.

I was just about to post a bug report before noticing this thread.

I have a number of community items on my bot I'd like to withdraw before the Summer sale, could you please withdraw all community items for me from https://dispenser.tf/dux0r (There are 25 Trading Cards, 2 Backgrounds and 16 emoticons in total).

Thanks

Also, it's should be fairly easy to automate buying Steam wallet on the bots, which would solve this problem in the future. All you'd need is a reliable Steam wallet service like Paypal (https://www.paypal-gifts.com/us/brands/steam-digital-wallet-code.html), and a small script to read the code from the email, and add it to a database where the bot could read and then activate it.
You could even set up IPN so that when a VIP member pays enough to cover the feature, your paypal automatically buys and uses the Steam wallet code.

The only caveat is that you'd still need to buy and activate a game for the bot manually unless you came up with a way to automate that. You'd also need to find a reliable seller of $5 wallet codes, or manually buy, for example, 100 $5 wallet codes and stock them in the database.

I don't think there are USD wallet codes for $5. Gift cards from PayPal, eBay, Amazon, etc. all start at $20.

Other currencies would probably work though. I know there are Malaysian Steam cards that come in much smaller amounts (for example 5 RM, which is about a dollar). No idea if they're region locked though, or where you would get them.

Thanks for the information and I will look into it. But right now I cannot give an ETA about when the bot will be able to activate itself. Please be patient if you still have items locked in your bot.

I have a 1 stop badge for having two games but my bots library is empty. Not sure if it counts
If needed just activate "Contraption Maker" steam gift game on my bot if necessary.

thanks

Joto, did you test whether activating a gift allows the bots to send requests? Because I don't think that works anymore.

This says that limited accounts can't send friend invites.

Yes it is not easy to even add friends now. After discussing with Cara we have come to a new solution which would require to develop a new logistic method to handle untradable gifts.
