Gambling sites often reward players for reviews, and people who lost review more than people who won. Trustpilot is one input to our trust score, not the verdict.
BUFF163 (by NetEase) is the largest CS2 marketplace in the world and the price reference many other sites follow.
Payments run through Chinese services, which makes it hard to use from outside China. Many players use BUFF.Market, its international version, instead.
The benchmark for prices, but not easy for most players.
BUFF163 is run by NetEase, the Chinese gaming and internet company listed on the Nasdaq and founded by William Ding. The 163 in the name is NetEase's classic domain.
