How We Rank CS2 Gambling Sites
Every site in our Top 10 is scored against the same six weighted criteria. Scores are editorial: they reflect our review of each platform's publicly verifiable record and product, applied consistently across all candidates. We list how each criterion is weighted and what disqualifies a site outright, so you can judge our judgements.
The six criteria
| Criterion | Weight | What we look at |
|---|---|---|
| Track record & reputation | 25% | Years in continuous operation, ownership transparency, history of resolved vs. unresolved player complaints, community standing. |
| Game selection & fairness | 20% | Breadth of modes, provably fair implementation and verifiability, published odds or case statistics. |
| Withdrawal reliability | 20% | Available withdrawal rails (skins, crypto), inventory depth, typical fulfilment behaviour, P2P vs. bot models. |
| Bonuses & promotions | 15% | Welcome offers, recurring promos, free-reward loops, clarity of wagering terms. |
| Payment options | 10% | Deposit methods beyond skins: crypto coverage, card support, regional methods. |
| Support & UX | 10% | Interface quality, mobile experience, support responsiveness and languages. |
What disqualifies a site
- No fairness verification of any kind (no provably fair system and no published odds)
- A pattern of credible, unresolved withdrawal complaints
- Hidden or unverifiable ownership combined with a short operating history
- Marketing aimed at minors
Disqualified sites are excluded from the list entirely rather than ranked low — a low rank would still read as a recommendation.
Update cadence
The ranking is reviewed on the 1st and 15th of each month. Between reviews we correct factual errors as we find them. Every material change is recorded in the changelog on the main ranking page.
Independence and affiliate disclosure
CS2 Gambling Rankings is funded by affiliate commissions: some links on this site are referral links, and we may earn a commission when you register through them. Two rules keep this honest: (1) commission rates are never an input to any criterion score, and (2) we link to every ranked site the same way regardless of whether an affiliate program exists. If you believe a placement is inconsistent with the rubric above, contact us via the about page.
Responsible gambling
Skin gambling is gambling. All sites in our ranking are reviewed for 18+ age gating. Set a loss limit before you play, never chase losses, and use the self-exclusion tools the platforms provide. Help is available at BeGambleAware.org.
