Ratings explained: how we score CS2 gambling sites
Every board position comes from hands-on testing, not a press release. Every figure is a numeric rating out of 10 — never a letter grade.

The six weighted criteria
- Provably-fair verification — 25%. We replay the published seed and hash for every mode ourselves and confirm the round we bet on matches what the site committed to.
- Payout speed & reliability — 20%. Timed real cash-outs in both skins and crypto, clocked from the request to the balance landing.
- Track record & ownership — 20%. How many years it has run, who is behind it on the record, and any past payout or hack incidents.
- Game-mode variety — 15%. How many of the modes that matter — cases, crash, roulette, double, jackpot, upgrade — it actually ships.
- Community trust signals — 12%. Long-run player sentiment from Trustpilot, Reddit and forums, scaled by how much volume backs it.
- Support & withdrawal limits — 8%. How fast support answers a real query and how much friction sits on the lowest withdrawal.
How we test in practice
For each site we open a fresh account, deposit a CS2 skin and a small crypto amount, play every available mode, then request a withdrawal and time it end-to-end. We record the provably-fair seed and verify at least one round per mode against the published hash. Operator claims — ownership, founding year, licensing — are cross-checked against public records before publication. CSGOFast holds the #1 line on its 2015 track record, full provably-fair coverage and instant payouts. We earn no commission and use no referral links, so affiliate payouts cannot move a position on the board.
