What is a CS2 case opening site? How they work, what to pick, and more

Sick and tired of opening the same old CS2 cases? Case opening sites are for you!

There's nothing like opening a case in CS2 and waiting to receive a sick reward — but there are plenty of limitations with opening cases in-game. That's where case opening sites come in, with some of the best sites customizing and improving the experience!

Here's a breakdown of what a case opening site is and how you can get involved!

A third-party Case Opening Site differs from your regular CS2 case in-game. Each CS2 case is pre-set with a small selection of skins available. If you want other skins, you'll need to open a different case — while older cases are all but impossible to get.

That's where case opening sites come in. These case opening sites let you unbox a variety of different skins and at different rarities. Knives are hard to unbox in-game — but what if a case only had knives in it? That cool AWP skin you're hunting from an old case? It could be in an all-in-one case!

With hundreds of different case combinations available, there's something for everyone on case opening sites. The best part: You're not limited to select payment methods, with cryptocurrency transactions available and near-instant approval.

Once you open your cases you'll receive the reward in your inventory, which you can then cash out back to your Steam inventory or sell back to the site for more currency, allowing you to open more cases!

How do case opening sites differ from others?

Basically, third-party case opening sites take boxing cases to the next level. If you're chasing a particular skin, there's bound to be a case with that skin with better odds than you'll find in CS2.

You also won't need to bring any CS2 keys with you! CS2 cases normally require a key to open, but on case sites, just getting the case is enough.

You'll be treated to an enhanced experience with case openings too, with cool animations helping build the hype until you land a reward! There's plenty more than skins as well with cases dedicated to gloves, stickers, charms, and more to discover and unbox. At all times, you'll be shown the odds of receiving each skin in a case so you know exactly what you're playing for!

Some sites also offer free daily rewards for using the site, skin upgrades to convert lower-rarity skins to higher-rarity ones, and giveaways just for signing up.

So get amongst it today and change the way you open cases for the better!
