Scam sites are unfortunately common in the CS2 gambling space. Here's how to verify a site's legitimacy before depositing.
Check Business Registration - Legitimate sites display their company registration details and business information. Verify the company exists through official business registries.
SSL Certificate - The site should use HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Check for the padlock icon in your browser.
Company Information - Legitimate sites provide clear company registration details, physical address, and contact information.
Payment Processor Verification - Trusted payment processors (Stripe, PayPal, etc.) only work with legitimate businesses.
Community Reputation - Search Reddit, Trustpilot, and CS2 forums for reviews. Multiple scam reports are a major red flag.
Red Flags to Avoid: No license information, anonymous ownership, fake user testimonials, unrealistic bonus offers, poor website quality, or delayed/refused withdrawals.
Test Small First - Make a small deposit and test withdrawal before depositing larger amounts. Legitimate sites process withdrawals quickly.
Check Domain Age - Very new domains (less than 6 months old) should be approached with caution. Scammers often create new sites frequently.
