About SkinWatch

Last reviewed: June 11, 2026

SkinWatch is an independent monitoring project for the CS2 skin gambling niche. We publish a monthly Trust Index, a permanent scam registry and a vetting guide. We exist because this niche has a documented history of burying player money — and because most "review" sites are paid toplists with promo codes.

Who runs this

Erik Sandberg, Safety Analyst — Erik documents fraud patterns in the CS2 skin economy: exit scams, rigged 'provably fair' clones and undisclosed-ownership promotions. Every score in the Trust Index follows the published six-factor audit. About the project →
