CSGOStake

Alright, I’m just gonna say it straight up, CSGOStake gives off the vibe of a clean, functional CS2 case site that wants to be a big player, but still feels like it’s stuck in beta mode. The interface? Super slick. The battles? Actually fun. But when I started digging deeper, the cracks started to show and I’m not just talking about a few whiffs in case drops.

CSGOStake is owned by SCHMELBAL LTD, a registered company in London. It’s a legit company, yeah, but the platform itself is not licensed, and it shows in a few places. Like the fact that their Trustpilot profile isn’t even claimed, and they’ve got a 2.0 rating from just 11 reviews. Still, that didn’t stop me from hopping on, testing their battles, climbing the leaderboard, and checking withdrawals so you get the real story.

Welcome bonus

Use promo code “csgogambling” when signing up to get a +5% bonus on your deposit. It’s a decent start, but it doesn’t match some other sites offering actual free cases or no-deposit rewards.

They also drop occasional bonus codes on Twitter/Discord, and you’ll unlock daily free cases and level rewards as you wager and climb your level.

How to claim bonus or free case

Here’s how you claim your deposit bonus:

1. Go to csgostake.com
2. Sign in with Steam
3. Click Deposit
4. Enter promo code “csgogambling”
5. Get +5% on every deposit

You’ll also unlock level-based rewards as you play. These give you cases and free skins at every 10-level milestone.

Game selection

Let’s talk games. CSGOStake keeps it simple but competitive:

• Case battles – This is their main game mode. You open cases against other players and whoever pulls higher value takes all. It’s intense, and probably the best part of the site.
• Cases (unboxing) – Your standard solo case opening. Fast and smooth, with a decent variety.
• Wheel (Double) – T/CT/Diamond styled wheel spin. A decent way to try luck-based multiplies.
• Upgrader – Turn your low-tier skins into higher-value ones (or rip them trying).
• Mines – Classic minesweeper-style gamble for multiplies.

That’s basically it. No crash, plinko, or coinflip. If you’re into variety, it might feel limited. But if you’re here for battles and boxes, it works.

Is CSGOStake legit?

Yeah, CSGOStake is technically legit, they use HTTPS, have an SSL cert, and offer provably fair mechanics. They’re owned by a registered company in the UK (SCHMELBAL LTD, 14974512), so the basics are covered.

But here’s the issue:

• No gambling license
• Low Trustpilot score (2.0)
• Profile not claimed

That doesn’t mean they’re a scam, but it does mean you should be cautious. I didn’t hit any issues during my testing, but I’ve seen enough in this space to know sites without licensing can vanish overnight.

Payment methods

Deposits:

• CS2 skins
• Crypto (BTC, ETH, LTC, USDT and more)

Withdrawals:

• Skins via trade
• Crypto (same options as deposit)

No PayPal, no direct bank, no fiat cards and crypto might hit network fees depending on congestion. Some larger withdrawals require manual approval, which can cause delays.

How to withdraw

Getting your winnings out is fairly simple:

1. Head to the Withdraw tab
2. Choose CS2 skins or crypto
3. Enter your trade link or wallet address
4. Wait for it to process (can be instant or take a few hours if manual approval is triggered)

Pro tip: If you’re withdrawing crypto, triple-check your address, there’s no undo button in blockchain land.

Customer support

CSGOStake has a support chat button on the bottom right, but there’s no 24/7 live agent from what I saw. Sometimes you’ll get a bot or a delayed reply. You can leave a message, and they usually reply via email.

They also have a help page that explains withdrawal and fairness systems (pretty useful stuff), especially the breakdown of their provably fair mechanics, which use EOS blockchain hashes and SHA256 to verify all results.

My experience

Honestly? It was alright. The site looks polished. Battles were smooth, and the fairness system is very transparent, I like that you can check all seeds and hashes yourself.

I deposited via ETH, ran some battles, upgraded a few $2 skins into $6, and cashed out a mid-tier AK skin. Withdrawal took about 15 minutes, so no issues there.

But the site feels a bit empty, not a huge player base, and some battles sat open for a while. Add to that a Trustpilot score of 2.0, and it’s hard to fully recommend without warning signs. Still, if you’re here for fun battles and don’t mind the occasional slow support, it’s not bad.

And remember, drop the code “csgogambling” on deposit to get a bonus every time you top up.
