To access Premium Servers, your Rust Steam inventory must be valued at $15 or more. This includes items from the [Permanent Item Store](https://store.steampowered.com/itemstore/252490/browse/?filter=All), such as building skins, décor packs, and hazmat skins, as well as any other [tradable Rust items]( https://steamcommunity.com/market/search?appid=252490) with an attached value. Currently we do not include Rust's standalone DLC such as Instruments, Sunburn and Voice Props packs (this may change in future). We initially communicated a $20 threshold, but after analysing data from millions of accounts, we've settled on $15 as a more effective starting point. This is based on a comparison of banned accounts versus regular players, aiming to strike a balance between accessibility and cheat deterrence, although opting on the lower end. - Premium Servers will only be visible if your account meets the $15 threshold. - Premium Servers will show a Premium (and clickable) Tag to provide details about eligibility. - This won’t stop every cheat user, but it’s an extra layer of friction against disposable cheat accounts. - Server owners can opt-in by enabling the following convar: "server.premium 1" - The $15 threshold may change over time, and we may introduce additional factors to refine premium status. - Depending on Steam traffic, brand new purchases may take up to 20 minutes to reflect onto the Premium Server authorization. - You can manually refresh or check your premium status by going to the server listings, clicking the premium server tag and clicking the refresh icon. - If you have premium status, it'll [display on your avatar](https://files.facepunch.com/Alistair/113/03/2025/6E20/RustClient_jOV78XFHHW.png) on the menu menu If we encounter any abuse or exploitation of Premium servers or the market, user accounts will be banned. All trades of Rust skins are logged. ##### SERVERS There are currently several new freshly wiped official premium servers going live [today at 19:00 UTC](https://logwork.com/countdown-5b4o).
