How We Rate CS2 Gambling Sites
Our ratings are based on rigorous, hands-on testing by experienced reviewers. We evaluate every site across six key categories to provide you with accurate, unbiased assessments you can trust.
Our Rating Methodology
We use a weighted 10-point scale where each category contributes to the final score based on its importance to player experience. Safety always comes first—a site with security concerns will never receive a high overall rating, regardless of other factors.
Safety & Security
We evaluate licensing, encryption, responsible gambling tools, and track record for handling player funds securely.
Game Fairness
Provably fair systems, RNG certification, transparent odds, and independent auditing of game outcomes.
Payment Speed & Options
Withdrawal processing times, available payment methods, fees, and reliability of transactions.
Bonus Value & Terms
Welcome offers, ongoing promotions, wagering requirements, and overall value for players.
User Experience
Website design, mobile compatibility, navigation ease, and overall usability.
Customer Support
Response times, available channels (live chat, email), knowledge of staff, and resolution quality.
How We Test Sites
Every site we review undergoes a comprehensive testing process. Our reviewers create real accounts, deposit real funds, and experience the platform as a regular user would.
Account Registration
We create real accounts, verify KYC processes, and test the onboarding experience.
Deposit Testing
We deposit real funds using multiple payment methods to verify transaction reliability.
Gameplay Testing
We play various games, test provably fair verification, and evaluate the gaming experience.
Withdrawal Testing
We request withdrawals to measure processing times and verify payout reliability.
Support Evaluation
We contact customer support through all available channels to test response quality.
Ongoing Monitoring
We continuously monitor sites for changes in policies, user complaints, and industry news.
