Solo boost or party boost
Here's the difference between the two boost formats, so you can choose the one that suits you.
In short. In a solo boost, a booster plays on your account: you share your login details and don't log in to the account until the boost is over. In a party boost, you play together with a booster and don't share your account, but you need to be in the game at the agreed time. A party boost is the “Play with Booster” option (+40 % at the time of writing).
Short answer
| Solo boost | Party boost | |
|---|---|---|
| Who plays | A booster on your account | You together with a booster |
| Account access | You share your login details | You don't share them |
| Your time | Not needed | You need to play at the agreed time |
| How to choose | Don't tick “Play with Booster” | Tick “Play with Booster” |
| Surcharge | — | +40 % (at the time of writing) |
How it works
Solo boost
- After payment, you give the booster access to your account. For a request, you do this in the order chat. For a package or a personal offer, use the “Connection details” form: Steam login and password, friend code, Steam Guard backup codes, and for FACEIT also your FACEIT details. More in Handing over account access.
- While the boost is in progress, don't log in to the account. The rules are in Rules during a boost.
- These options help you control the boost: “Offline Mode” (the account stays invisible), “Select Time” (boosters won't play at the time you set), “Playing with Stream”, “Boost Solo”.
Party boost
- Tick “Play with Booster” in the calculator. You play from your own account together with a booster.
- You don't need Steam Guard backup codes for a party boost.
- For a request, agree on the playing time with the booster in the chat. For a package or an offer, fill in “Preferred time to play” in the “Connection details” form.
- For a package or an offer, a party order moves to the “Waiting for the client” status. When you're ready to play, click “Start searching for a booster”. If your plans change, click “Pause search”.
- Party isn't available for every service. At the time of writing, it isn't available for behavior score boost and token farming.
Similar options that are easy to confuse
- “Party with friend” (+80 % at the time of writing): “Add a friend to the party for the boost and play together”. The booster plays from your account and takes a second account into the party — both accounts get the boost.
- “Boost Solo” (+15 % at the time of writing): “Our expert will play on your account only solo, without a party”. This isn't a separate format: the option only stops the booster from playing on your account in a party.
What to keep in mind
Important. The site FAQ says: “The ‘Play together’ (party) service is safe and doesn't break the game rules; sharing account credentials may not comply with the game's terms of service and carries a risk”.
- You choose the format before payment. After payment, options can only be changed through a manager — they'll send you a link to pay the difference.
FAQ
Do I need Steam Guard codes for a party boost?
No. The “Connection details” form asks for Steam Guard backup codes for every format except party.
When do I play in a party boost?
For a request, you agree on the time with the booster in the chat. For a package or an offer, the search for a booster starts when you click “Start searching for a booster”.
Which is safer?
A party boost: you don't share your login details. Sharing account credentials may not comply with the game's terms of service and carries a risk.
Can I change the format after payment?
Not by yourself. Contact a manager: they'll send you a link to pay extra for the option.
How is “Boost Solo” different from a solo boost?
In a solo boost, a booster plays on your account. “Boost Solo” is an extra condition that they do it only solo, without a party.
