Giveaway rules
Last updated: October 2026
1. Organizer
Giveaways are organized by CS2 Market Research. They are not sponsored, endorsed or administered by Valve Corporation or Steam.
2. Free entry
No purchase or payment is necessary to enter or win. Entry is free and paying does not improve your chances.
3. Who can enter
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, and entry must be legal in your country. You need a site account with a connected Steam account that can trade, and a Steam trade link from that same Steam account saved in your profile. The prize is sent only to that link.
4. One entry per person
Each person and each Steam account may enter a giveaway once. Multiple accounts, bots, scripts, VPN farms or any other attempt to gain extra entries lead to disqualification from the current and future giveaways.
5. Tasks
Each giveaway lists its tasks, such as making a search, building a trade-up contract, creating an item set or setting up a price alert. Item sets, price alerts and craft subscriptions you already have count automatically; other actions count only after you join. You have to complete every task before the end date to be included in the draw.
6. How winners are chosen
After the end date we publish the list of eligible entries and fix a future round of drand, a public randomness beacon run by independent organizations. Winners are drawn from that round with equal chances for every eligible entry, so anyone can verify the result and nobody can know it in advance.
7. Prize delivery
Winners are notified by email and, if connected, Telegram. We send the prize as a Steam trade offer to the trade link in the winner’s profile, usually within 7 days. If the trade link is invalid, the account cannot trade, or the offer is not accepted within 7 days, the prize is forfeited and a new winner is drawn.
8. Prize terms
The prize is the item described on the giveaway page. Its market value can change and is shown for information only. Prizes cannot be exchanged for cash or other items. Steam trade holds and restrictions are outside our control.
9. Data
To run the giveaway we use your account name, Steam ID, trade link and the actions listed in the tasks. Winners’ display names may be shown on the giveaway page. We do not sell this data.
10. Changes and cancellation
We may change, suspend or cancel a giveaway if it cannot run as planned, for example because of fraud or technical problems. Our decisions on eligibility and disqualification are final.
