CSDOG Questions and Answers

Here you will find instructions for using CSDOG and answers to questions about items, payments and trades. If you cannot solve a problem, contact the live chat on the site or write to support@csdog.io.

Getting started

  • How do I start using CSDOG?

    Sign in with Steam, choose a case and review its contents and opening conditions. A paid case requires a balance. To receive items in Steam, add your Trade URL and make sure your account can trade.

  • How do I check the Steam sign-in page?

    Use the sign-in button on CSDOG. Before entering your details, check the exact host name of the sign-in page: steamcommunity.com. An address that only starts the same way does not prove the site is genuine. Never share your Steam password or codes with support staff or other users.

  • Where do I get my Trade URL?

    In Steam, open Inventory, then Trade Offers and the “Who can send me Trade Offers?” section. Copy the Trade URL into your CSDOG profile. If you change the link, update it on the site as well.

  • Is there an age limit?

    The CSDOG User Agreement allows the service to be used from the age of 18. Read the terms of service before you start.

  • Is CSDOG affiliated with Valve?

    No. It is an independent platform. Item names and images belong to their respective rights holders.

Deposits

  • Which payment methods are available?

    Top up your balance with a bank card or cryptocurrency. Choose a method in the top-up form, enter the amount and follow the instructions. The final amount and payment terms are shown before you confirm.

  • What should I do if my deposit has not arrived?

    Check the payment status with the payment provider. If the funds have not appeared on CSDOG within two hours, contact support and include the time, amount and payment ID. Never send your password, confirmation codes or full card details.

Cases

  • How is the dropped item chosen?

    Every outcome has a published probability. Review the contents list before opening. An item being on the list does not mean it will drop within the number of openings you choose.

  • Where can I see the probability?

    On the case page, open the info icon next to the item. On desktop and mobile, use the tooltip control available there. Check the probability of the exact item you are interested in.

  • What is demo mode?

    It shows the opening mechanics without charging your balance or crediting an item. A demo result is not added to your inventory and does not predict the result of a paid opening.

  • Can I open several cases at once?

    Paid case pages let you choose how many to open, including 10. Before confirming, check the number of openings and the total cost. Free cases have their own conditions.

  • How do I get a free case?

    Sign in with Steam and go to free cases. Choose Poseidon, Hades, Zeus, Spartan or Dionysus and open the case. The item you get appears in your CSDOG inventory, and you can withdraw it to Steam.

  • Do I need to deposit to open a free case?

    No. All five free CSDOG cases open without a deposit. You do not need to pay for the opening or buy a key.

  • Where can I choose a knife, gloves or a specific weapon?

    Use the collections of knives, gloves and weapon cases. Mixed cases have other outcomes too; knife-only and glove-only cases are listed separately.

  • Are CS:GO and CS2 cases the same thing?

    The CSDOG catalog features Counter-Strike 2 items. In everyday speech and in search they are also called CS:GO skins. The platform's cases should not be confused with the containers opened inside the game.

  • How does the upgrade work?

    You choose a stake and a target item; the result depends on the probability shown. If the upgrade fails, the stake is lost. See the upgrade section for details.

Item withdrawals

  • How do I get an item in Steam?

    In your CSDOG inventory, select the item and click “Withdraw to Steam”. Check the trade offer in Steam and accept it. You need a valid Trade URL, an inventory that is public as the CSDOG terms require, and an account that can trade.

  • How long does a withdrawal take?

    CSDOG offers fast skin withdrawals. Click “Withdraw to Steam” in your inventory on the site and accept the incoming trade offer in Steam. Once the trade is confirmed, the item arrives immediately. If the offer does not arrive, check the request status and contact support.

  • Why hasn't the trade offer arrived?

    Check your Trade URL, your inventory privacy settings and any Steam messages about account restrictions. Then check the status of your CSDOG request. If the reason is unclear, tell support the item name and the time of the request.

  • Do I have to wait 7 or 15 days to receive a skin?

    No. For CS2 items Steam uses Trade Protection instead of trade holds: once the trade is confirmed, the item arrives immediately. The seven days of protection start after you receive it. If trading is unavailable, check the Steam message about your account restrictions.

  • What is Trade Protection, and can I play with the skin right away?

    Yes, you can use the skin in the game as soon as you receive it. For 7 days after the trade it cannot be transferred, modified, consumed or moved to a Storage Unit. Learn more in the official Steam Support article.

  • Can I cancel a withdrawal?

    For a request on CSDOG, contact support. For trades that are already complete, Steam lets you reverse Trade Protected trades from your trade history. This reverses every Trade Protected trade from the last 7 days, not just the one you pick. The account that starts the reversal is restricted from trading and the Community Market for 30 days; the other parties are not affected. If you reverse such a trade, the item goes back to the seller and there is no compensation.

Bonus skins

  • What is a bonus skin?

    A skin you got for free with a promo code. It is already in your inventory: play with it right away, and when you want to take it, just top up your balance.

  • Why top up if the skin is already mine?

    A top-up is not a payment for the skin. The money goes to your balance and stays yours: open cases and play upgrades with it. The bonus skin then becomes a regular one: withdraw it to Steam or sell it.

  • How much should I top up?

    The price of the skin you have now. If you boost it in the upgrade, the amount grows to the new skin's price, and what you've already topped up still counts. We show how much is left when you tap Withdraw to Steam or Sell.

  • Can I boost a bonus skin?

    Yes, and that's the whole point. Put it in the upgrade and raise its value. If you win, the new skin is a bonus one too, and the top-up amount becomes its price.

  • Which top-ups count?

    Any balance top-up after you get the bonus. Cashback and referral rewards don't count.

  • Who can get the bonus?

    Anyone, once per account. Some codes only work for new players who haven't topped up yet.

Bonuses and help

  • Where can I find promo codes?

    Follow CSDOG announcements and the official Telegram channel. For each offer, check the expiry date, activation conditions and limits. An old post does not mean the promo code still works.

  • How do I find the referral program?

    Sign in, open the “Referrals” section and read the current terms. Check the reward rate and accrual rules in the program itself.

  • How do I contact support or discuss a partnership?

    Support is available 24/7. Write in the site chat or to support@csdog.io. For partnerships, contact CSDOG PR.
