About CS2Bolt
CS2Bolt is a skin gaming site for Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, Rust and Team Fortress 2. You play with real Steam items, every result can be checked, and everything you win can be withdrawn back to Steam.
Where we started
CS2Bolt grew out of TF2Bolt, a site built for the Team Fortress 2 trading community. TF2Bolt let players use their TF2 items in games like coinflip, roulette, jackpot and crates, follow competitive matches, and check what their inventory was worth with a built in price checker.
Running TF2Bolt taught us what players actually care about: fair results they can verify, prices that follow the real market, and trades that arrive when they are supposed to. It also showed us that most of our players owned items in more than one Steam game.
Why we became CS2Bolt
We rebuilt the platform from the ground up with Counter-Strike 2 at its centre and Dota 2, Rust and TF2 alongside it. The rebuild replaced match betting and the older game modes with a new set of games: cases, case battles, an item upgrader, coinflip, Plinko and Chicken Crossing, plus a case creator where players design their own cases and earn from every paid open.
The name changed, but the approach did not. The team behind TF2Bolt built CS2Bolt, and the principles below come straight from those years.
What we stand for
- Results you can check. Every round is decided by a provably fair roll. The server commits to its secret before you play and reveals it afterwards, so you can recalculate any result yourself on our provably fair page.
- Odds on show. Every case lists every item it can drop and the exact chance of each one before you open it.
- Real market prices. Item values follow live sale data from major Steam item marketplaces, not numbers we invent.
- Real items out. What you win is yours. You can keep it, use it in another game, or withdraw it to your Steam account.
- Play for fun, not for income. Our games are entertainment. Read our responsible gaming page for the tools and support available.
