DatDrop
DatDrop is a site for case opening, case battles and upgrades with Counter-Strike skins. It is unlicensed gambling and popular with teenagers.
Unlicensed; reaches under-18s
This brand is not licensed in the markets we cover (or only in part of them), so it has no Wayfinder Score. If you play there, you do not get the protections a local licence brings: limits, self-exclusion and a regulator to complain to.

How it works
On DatDrop users deposit skins or money and open virtual cases containing random skins. The best-known format is the case battle, where several players open the same cases and the one with the most valuable haul takes everything. There is also an upgrade game, a bet that turns a cheap skin into a dear one or loses it.
Skins can be sold for real money.
Where it stands
DatDrop holds no gambling licence in the markets we cover (US, UK, Ireland, Spain, Germany, Portugal, South Africa and Ontario) and does not check age with an identity document. Valve, which owns Steam, bans the use of accounts for gambling.
No regulator oversees the odds or the payouts.
Advice for parents
Look through the purchase history of your child's Steam account and switch on Family View. Explain that the wins shown in videos are often paid promotion.
