Terms of Service
Last updated: 7 May 2026
These Terms of Service (the “Terms“) govern your access to and use of the website located at https://riskyskins.com (the “Site“), operated by RiskySkins (“we“, “us“, “our“). By accessing or using the Site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
1. About RiskySkins
RiskySkins is an independent editorial and affiliate platform. We publish reviews, comparisons, guides, and bonus information for third-party Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) skin gambling websites, marketplaces, and trading platforms.
We do not operate, host, or facilitate any form of gambling. We do not accept deposits, hold player funds, conduct wagers, distribute winnings, or otherwise act as a gambling operator. All gambling activity referenced on this Site takes place on third-party platforms operated by their respective owners and licensors. We are not affiliated with Valve Corporation, and Counter-Strike 2 and related trademarks are the property of Valve Corporation.
2. Eligibility
You may only use this Site if you are at least eighteen (18) years of age, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater. By using the Site you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Site, and any onward use of the third-party platforms we link to, is permitted under the laws of the country, state, province, or territory from which you access them. We make no representation that the content is appropriate or available for use in any particular location.
3. Editorial Content and Methodology
Our reviews, rankings, and guides reflect our independent editorial assessment. The methodology used to evaluate platforms is published at https://riskyskins.com/methodology/ and includes scoring criteria, testing protocols, and conflict-of-interest safeguards.
We may update reviews, scores, rankings, and bonus information at any time without notice. Information published on the Site is current as of the date stated on each page and is not guaranteed to remain accurate after that date. Bonus codes and promotional offers are set by the operators of the third-party platforms and may be withdrawn, changed, or restricted by them at any time.
4. Affiliate Relationships and Compensation
Many of the outbound links on this Site are affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link and subsequently register, deposit, or perform another qualifying action on a third-party platform, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate compensation is the primary way the Site is funded.
Affiliate compensation does not influence our editorial scoring or ranking decisions. Commercial relationships are disclosed and handled separately from editorial review, in line with the conflict-of-interest safeguards described in our methodology. Affiliate links are signalled by the use of the rel="sponsored" attribute on outbound links, in compliance with FTC and equivalent international guidelines.
5. No Warranties; Information Provided “As Is”
Content on the Site is provided for general informational and entertainment purposes only. It does not constitute legal, financial, tax, gambling, or investment advice. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, and non-infringement.
While we test platforms in good faith and aim to keep information accurate, we cannot guarantee that any third-party platform will continue to operate, pay out, or behave as described at any future point. Use of any third-party platform is at your sole risk.
6. Third-Party Platforms and External Links
The Site contains links to third-party gambling websites, marketplaces, software, and services that we neither own nor control. We are not responsible for the content, terms, privacy practices, security, fairness, payout reliability, KYC procedures, withdrawal limits, or any other aspect of those third-party platforms.
Before using any third-party platform we link to, you should:
- Read and accept that platform’s terms of service and privacy policy.
- Verify that use of that platform is legal in your jurisdiction.
- Independently confirm any claims about the platform, including bonus terms, withdrawal speeds, and provably-fair claims.
- Set deposit, loss, and time limits using the tools provided by the platform.
Any disputes arising out of your use of a third-party platform must be resolved directly with the operator of that platform. We are not party to any contract between you and a third-party platform and accept no liability for losses or disputes arising from your dealings with them.
7. Responsible Gambling
Gambling carries the risk of financial loss and can become harmful. Gamble only with funds you can afford to lose and never as a means of generating income or recovering past losses. Never gamble while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and never chase losses.
If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, please seek help immediately:
- BeGambleAware (UK): begambleaware.org
- GamCare (UK): gamcare.org.uk
- National Council on Problem Gambling (US): 1-800-522-4700, ncpgambling.org
- Gambling Therapy (international): gamblingtherapy.org
- Loket Kansspel (Netherlands): loketkansspel.nl
We strongly encourage the use of self-exclusion tools, deposit limits, loss limits, and time limits offered by individual platforms. Information on the Site does not, and is not intended to, encourage harmful or compulsive gambling behaviour.
8. Geographic and Legal Restrictions
Online gambling, skin gambling, and skin trading are subject to differing regulations across jurisdictions. Some are prohibited entirely; some are restricted by age, license, or platform; some are unregulated. Examples (non-exhaustive) of jurisdictions where significant restrictions or prohibitions apply at the time of writing include the United States (varies by state), the United Kingdom (subject to UKGC licensing), the Netherlands (subject to Kansspelautoriteit licensing), Belgium, France, Germany, and Australia (Interactive Gambling Act 2001).
You alone are responsible for verifying the legality of your activity in your jurisdiction before using any third-party platform we describe. We do not promote or condone the use of any platform from a jurisdiction where its operation or use is prohibited. Where applicable, you may be required to complete identity verification (KYC) by the third-party platform; we do not collect, store, or process such verification data.

17. Severability and No Waiver
If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. Failure or delay by us to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
18. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Netherlands, excluding its conflict-of-law rules.

If you are a consumer based in the European Union, you may have additional rights under your local consumer protection laws which cannot be waived by contract. Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit those rights.
