How Deposits Work

You can fund your CaseBattles.gg balance with CS2 skins, cryptocurrency, or a gift card. This page covers the accepted methods, the deposit bonuses, and how the Steam trade hold affects when your skins become playable.

Cryptocurrency — including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USDT, USDC, Litecoin (LTC), Solana (SOL) and Tron (TRX). Crypto deposits require identity verification (KYC).
Gift cards — purchased through DifMark; after checkout you redeem the code on site to credit your Gems.

The Steam trade hold

Skins you deposit are subject to Steam's 7–8 day trade hold. So you can start playing sooner, a portion of a skin deposit is credited to your balance instantly (45% for most accounts, 15% for brand-new level-0 accounts) and the remaining portion is released once the trade hold clears. The instant share grows as you level up; Rust skins and crypto credit 100% right away. This hold is also why recently-deposited skins can't be withdrawn until it clears.
