Disclaimer
Last updated: 30 August 2026
Information only -- not advice
Everything on CSAlpha is provided for general information. Expected values, profit figures, win probabilities, rankings, alerts and float predictions are calculations, not recommendations, and not financial, investment or trading advice. Nothing here is an offer or inducement to buy or sell anything.
Trade-ups are gambling-like by nature
A CS2 trade-up contract produces one random outcome from a weighted set. A contract with positive expected value can and frequently does lose money on any individual attempt. Expected value describes an average over many repetitions, not a promise about your next craft.
Never spend more than you can afford to lose.
Data may be wrong, stale or incomplete
Our figures are built from third-party marketplace data collected automatically. That data can be delayed, cached, partially collected, or simply wrong at the source. Prices move continuously and a listing shown as available may already be gone. Marketplace fees, regional pricing and currency conversion can all change what you actually pay or receive.
We make no warranty that any figure is accurate, complete or current, and we accept no liability for decisions made in reliance on them. Verify prices on the marketplace before you commit money.
No affiliation
CSAlpha is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Valve Corporation. Counter-Strike, CS2, and related marks are trademarks of Valve. We are likewise unaffiliated with CSFloat, Steam Community Market, DMarket, Skinport, or any other marketplace referenced. Marketplace links are provided for convenience; some may be affiliate links, which never changes the price you pay and never influences the rankings we show.
External links
We are not responsible for the content, availability, pricing or security of third-party sites. Visiting them is at your own risk and subject to their terms.
Your responsibility
You are solely responsible for your trading decisions and for complying with Valve's Terms of Service, the Steam Subscriber Agreement, and the rules of any marketplace you use. Trading items may be restricted or taxed in your country; that is for you to check.
