About this site & editorial policy
Who runs this site, how rankings are calculated, the no-gambling pledge in writing, and the standard every page has to meet.
last reviewed · 2026-07-14
This site does one thing: it tells CS2 players what they’ll actually keep when they sell a skin. Every existing “best marketplace” list ranks platforms by vibes and affiliate payout. We rank them by net proceeds — with a live calculator as proof.
Editorial policy
- Every number comes from one dataset. Sale fees, withdrawal fees, thresholds — all of it lives in a single data file, and every page reads from it. When a fee changes, the whole site changes together. See the full table.
- The dataset is re-verified by hand every month against each marketplace’s own published fee pages, and every page shows its verification or review date. We treat that small ritual as the site’s core credibility asset.
- Rankings are arithmetic, not opinion. The marketplace ranking is produced by one formula applied identically to every platform, whether or not that platform pays us anything.
- We say what we can’t verify. Where a claim needs first-hand evidence — a real listing, a real withdrawal — we either show it or mark the gap honestly. No invented specifics, no confident guesses.
- Affiliate money never touches the math. Some links earn us a commission, disclosed in full here and flagged on every page where they appear. Platforms without affiliate programs are covered by exactly the same standard — Skinport ranks wherever the formula puts it.
The no-gambling pledge
Marketplaces and trading only. No case-opening, no betting, no casino, no wagering, no “skin gambling” — ever. Not as content, not as advertising, not as an affiliate partner, no matter what it would pay. This is a standing editorial position, in writing, and it also governs the advertising layer: sponsors are screened against a public exclusion list before anything ships.
This site is for adults (18+) making a real financial decision. Skin prices can fall; nothing here is financial advice.
