Recently, our users often ask: why has the amount on their balance in rubles changed?
We explain: your balance is fixed in USD currency. The display of your balance in RUB or UAH is visual only. The actual amount of funds in your account remains the same. The balance changes, only from your interaction with it (buying skins, withdrawing or recharging). To understand why the displayed amount changes, we need to go a little deeper into how the service works.
The cost of skins is also fixed in USD, and it is in this currency that buying or selling takes place. Accordingly, if rubles are chosen as the currency on your site, when depositing, you enter the deposit amount in them, for example, 10 000 rubles, but then it is converted and will be fixed in the dollar equivalent. Recalculation is always carried out at the current exchange rate.
Let's imagine that at the beginning of May you deposited $100 into your account. For this purpose, at the rate of 71 rubles per dollar, it would be necessary to pay 7100 rubles. This is the amount you will see if the ruble is selected as the main currency. But by the end of May, the dollar exchange rate fell to 57 rubles. Consequently, the same amount will be displayed as 5700 r. But your ability to buy skins remains the same, because the price of skins in rubles has become less.
Thus, if you choose a currency different from the dollar for display, changes in the amount on the balance should not scare you: they reflect exchange rate fluctuations and do not affect your real opportunities to buy skins.
