Key-Drop
Key-Drop is one of the biggest case-opening sites for 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.
- Type
- Case opening, case battles and upgrades with CS2 skins
- Licence
- None
- Age checks
- No identity verification
- Payments
- Skins, gift cards, cryptocurrency
How it works
On Key-Drop you pay to open a virtual case and receive a random skin, usually worth less than you paid and occasionally much more. There are also case battles and upgrades, where you stake a skin for the chance of a dearer one. Skins can be withdrawn and sold for real money.
The site is heavily promoted through YouTubers and streamers.
Where it stands
Key-Drop 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.
