Frequently asked questions

OVERSKILL is a CS2 site: you play Duels (1v1) or Wingman (2v2), put up an entry, and if you win you take the reward. The outcome depends only on your skill. No paid advantages.

No. OVERSKILL is CS2 competition. We chose crypto so we do not sell credits, chips, points or fake play money: the money is yours the whole time. Crypto is only a simple, transparent, reliable way to process rewards. OVERSKILL and the people who run it stand against what crypto became famous for — speculation, empty promises and scams. Here the better player wins.

Because the outcome is no luck: the better player wins. You do not bet on other matches or events. You compete, with your entry, against someone who put up the same.

You must be 18+. A public Steam profile on an account at least 90 days old, 300 real hours in CS2 (game details public), a CSRep reputation above 90, and no VAC, game ban or community ban. Hours are real in-match time (can be fewer than Steam shows), and your total playtime must not be hidden. That's the anti-smurf gate — we don't sell your data. You also need a USDC balance for the entry.

Hit Connect with Steam and authorize access. We don't ask for or store your Steam or Binance password. Then you activate funds to enter your first match.

No. OVERSKILL is an independent service and is not affiliated, sponsored or endorsed by Valve Corporation. Counter-Strike, CS2, Steam and their marks belong to their respective owners.

Because it's the simplest path for a lot of people to have dollars ready for the entry. OVERSKILL is not Binance and is not a Binance partner. Your Binance account is yours. If you already have another wallet (MetaMask or Coinbase Wallet), you can use that too.

Buy USDC on Binance and send it to the address of the wallet you connect in OVERSKILL. That balance is ready for your entry.

No. Your money is yours. OVERSKILL does not have your wallet key and cannot move your money unless you accept. When you tap Ready, only that match's entry is locked.

It stays locked for that match. It does not sit in an OVERSKILL balance. If the match is voided, we return your entry. If you win, you collect the reward to your wallet.

Money that is not in a match is yours and stays in your wallet. If you connected it, you can use it whenever you want. What you won waits for the collect window that matches your trust.

You can play Duels (1v1) and Wingman (2v2). You pick the format when you create your lobby.

As the leader you pick the format, entry and region. To add friends, invite them by username (the invite lasts 5 minutes) or share your 6-digit code or the lobby link. Once everyone marks Ready, the lobby joins the queue.

Ask the lobby leader for their 6-digit invite code and enter it in the join-with-code option. If someone shared an invite link, opening it takes you straight into the lobby.

The system pairs you with opponents on the same format, region and entry: a 5 USDC entry never meets a 15 USDC one. Your level (1–10) brings similar rivals; if nobody is nearby, the search widens. While you search, you see the queue status. If no match forms within 30 minutes, you leave the queue and can lower your entry or change region and try again.

When the system finds a match you have 30 seconds to confirm with a tap. Confirm fast so you don't lose the match.

After you confirm, you get the server details and a Connect button. You have 3 minutes to join once the server is ready; the server checks your Steam account against the match roster.

During a live match you have 5 minutes to reconnect to the same server with no penalty. Reconnect as soon as you can.

We measure server performance throughout the match; if it runs poorly, it's logged as evidence on your report for review. And if a match hangs for more than 60 minutes without finishing, the system voids it and returns your entry 100%.

A winner takes 1.80×–1.90× their entry by tier (service fee 10% to 5%: higher entry, lower fee). Example: a 15 USDC entry → 27 USDC (10% fee). The fee covers servers, anti-cheat and demos. The rest of the prize pool goes to the winners.

There is an anti-cheat wait by trust: starting trust 12h, growing trust 6h, full trust 2h, verified trust 0h. New accounts start at starting trust. OVERSKILL is not keeping your reward: when it unlocks, you collect.

When your wait unlocks, open your wallet in OVERSKILL and accept the payout. The USDC lands in your account. OVERSKILL does not collect for you and does not touch the rest of your money.

Usually because your wait is still running, because there is a review or dispute (the prize stays held until it is resolved — also if there is a report or a suspension), or because you need to try again. If the wait is over and it still fails, write us on the official Discord.

If your opponent no-shows or leaves, they lose their entry and you take the reward just like a normal win. In team matches, the total is split among the winners.

Tickets are a free giveaway layer, separate from the competition. They can't be bought, aren't money and can't be redeemed for money, and they never affect your match results, your rewards or matchmaking. They're only for entering giveaways.

You earn tickets when matches end, at random moments in the week: up to 3 per week and regardless of whether you win or lose. The week runs Monday to Sunday (UTC).

It is not required. Add overskill.gg to your Steam name to activate a profile badge and extra tickets based on your streak of consecutive days: 7 days → +1, 15 → +2 and 30 → +3 tickets per week. Removing it from your name ends the streak. You turn it on and off whenever you like.

We combine several layers: Steam VAC, a server-side plugin that analyzes play, and demo review by our team. You install nothing on your PC. If Steam flags a recent VAC ban, we review your matches from the last 14 days and hold any suspicious rewards.

From the match page you can report a player for cheating, toxicity or abandoning. Your report is anonymous: the reported player never learns who reported them. The team reviews each case with the match evidence.

From the match page, within the 12 hours after it ends, you can open a dispute: pick a category and write your reason. The evidence (demo, logs, and match events) is attached automatically — you upload nothing. The target is a first response within 24 hours and a resolution within 72.

Yes. Suspensions (for example, from VAC or cheat detection) are appealed through the official Discord, where the team reviews each case. Rewards under review may stay held in the meantime. Use the Discord button below to get started.

Your name and photo come from Steam: to change them, edit your Steam profile and they sync next time you sign in. To delete your account or export your data, reach out on the official Discord.
