Should you trust CSGOSHOP?

We did check the Federal Corporation Information of Canada for the presence of CSGOShop Ltd. The company is legit, and the director is indeed William Wei. So, their legal status is in order.

Bonuses and promotions

The platform has special bonuses like increased listings and bitcoin cash outs for sellers who trade for $1000+ USD per week

In order to trade users must own CS:GO on their, at least 1-month-old, Steam account. The account has to be free from trade bans (locks due to escrow do not count).

Pros and Cons

 Conclusion

CSGOSHOP is a legitimate business registered in Canada. Its director looks like a skilled guy with a lot of experience in skin trading. However, the website is more about buying random cases than trading skins. So, you might try to sell something here, but it definitely not going to become your favorite trading platform.
