Affiliate Disclosure

The one-sentence version: RankedSkins earns a commission when you sign up to a platform through our links, you pay nothing extra, and money has never bought a ranking here. The long version follows.

What RankedSkins is

RankedSkins is an independent review site for CS2 gambling sites, case opening platforms, marketplaces and trading bots, operated from the Netherlands by Ryxens. We are not a gambling operator. We do not host games, hold deposits, process bets or run trades, and we own no stake in any platform we review. Every site on our pages is a separate third-party business. Our job is to test those businesses with our own money and publish what we find.

How this site earns money

Affiliate commissions. Most outbound links on this site are affiliate links, routed through our /go/ redirects. When you sign up or deposit at a platform through one of them, that platform pays us a commission out of its own marketing budget. Common models are revenue share (a percentage of what the platform earns from referred players) and CPA (a fixed amount per sign-up).

Bonus code partnerships. The promo codes on our bonus codes page are creator codes tied to our account. Using one gives you the listed reward and attributes your sign-up to us. Same money flow as an affiliate link, entered as text instead of clicked.

Nothing else, currently. There is no sponsored content on this site today. If that ever changes, sponsored pages will be labeled as such in the title, visibly, not in a footnote.

What you pay

Nothing extra, ever. Your deposit, your bonus and your withdrawal are identical whether you use our link or type the site address yourself. The commission comes out of the platform's marketing budget, not your balance. If you would rather not use our links, that is fine: every review names the platform, and you can reach any of them directly. The reviews stay just as honest either way.

How rankings stay independent

  • Scores come first. A platform gets tested and scored before any commercial conversation happens. The score does not move afterwards.
  • Low ratings stay published. Several platforms on this site sit at the bottom of our rankings with active warnings attached, commission deal or not. CaseDrop is on our case opening page rated below every competitor, with its withdrawal problems spelled out. It has a code listed. Both things are true at once, and readers deserve both.
  • Some top picks pay us nothing. CSFloat leads our marketplace ranking. We have no affiliate deal with several of the platforms we rate highest, and they outrank platforms that do pay us.
  • Delisting is fast. A failed withdrawal test or credible scam pattern removes a platform the same week, regardless of what its commission was worth.

What we track about your click

One number. Our /go/ links count clicks per platform anonymously: no IP address, no cookie, no personal data, just a counter that tells us which reviews people act on. The destination platform sets its own attribution cookie after you arrive, under its own privacy policy. Details in our privacy policy.
