Rating Methodology

    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

    25%

    We evaluate licensing, encryption, responsible gambling tools, and track record for handling player funds securely.

    Game Fairness

    20%

    Provably fair systems, RNG certification, transparent odds, and independent auditing of game outcomes.

    Payment Speed & Options

    20%

    Withdrawal processing times, available payment methods, fees, and reliability of transactions.

    Bonus Value & Terms

    15%

    Welcome offers, ongoing promotions, wagering requirements, and overall value for players.
