The short version
If you remember CS:GO roulette, you know CSGOEmpire. It launched in 2016, survived Valve's crackdowns, and still runs the classic roulette wheel: bet on CT, T or the rare "dice" slot. Coinflip, case battles and esports betting sit alongside it.
How the skin market works
Empire doesn't keep a warehouse of skins. When you deposit, another player buys your skin through the site; when you withdraw, you pick from skins other players have listed. This peer-to-peer model gives you a huge choice of items. The downside: a withdrawal only completes when the seller sends the Steam trade, so it can take longer than on sites with their own inventory. Crypto works both ways. There's no withdrawal to a bank or card.
Licence and fairness
The site lists Curaçao licence OGL/2024/1183/0869, held by Moonrail Limited B.V. Its provably-fair setup is one of the most mature around: each roll combines a pre-committed server seed with a client seed, and you can recheck any past roll.
Reputation
Trustpilot showed 3.2/5 from roughly 3,650 reviews in summer 2026. It's a big sample, and most complaints are about losses or slow P2P trades. The brand made headlines in March 2024, when someone in CSGOEmpire gear stormed the stage at the PGL Major in Copenhagen. The company apologised the next month.

Controversies and warnings
In March 2024 someone in CSGOEmpire gear ran onto the stage at the PGL Major Copenhagen, in a stunt aimed at a rival's sponsorship deal. CSGOEmpire apologised the following month. Sweden blocked the site in November 2023.
