Responsible gambling
CounterStrikeGO is a site about Counter-Strike 2 (CS2), not a gambling site. We do not offer gambling, and our articles, guides, reports and tools do not promote it. This page sets out our rules and lists services that help people who are worried about their own gambling or someone else's.
Our rules
- Our articles, guides, reports and tools do not promote case opening, skin gambling or betting.
- Case-opening sites and skin casinos do not appear in our guides, reports or tools.
- Ads are labeled "Advertisement" and are not part of our coverage. Ads for products and services regulated by law follow the laws that apply to them, including any age limit, license or warning those laws require.
- Cases appear in our price tables as items that are bought and sold, like any other item.
- Tournaments and teams named after a betting or casino brand appear under their official names. Our coverage does not link to the brand or show its logo, and we do not embed streams of those tournaments.
- On Twitch, we show only the official channels of tournament organizers. We do not show YouTube videos about case opening, giveaways, casinos or betting.
- We do not use photos that show betting brands.
- Item prices are not financial advice. CS2 item prices can change sharply. Spend only what you can afford to lose.
- We do not publish price predictions. The site has no betting, prizes or giveaways.
