Responsible gambling

Case openings, battles and casino games are gambling. The house has an edge on every one of them, so over time the site wins. Play with money you can lose, and stop when it is gone.

The rules we hold ourselves to

• You must be 18 or over, and the partner site must be legal where you live. We do not run leaderboards for anyone under 18.
• Our leaderboards reward wagering. That is a reason to never chase a rank: a prize is never worth more than the money it takes to win it. Decide your budget for the period first, then see where it gets you.
• Every guide and every page on this site says what the thing is: gambling, with a disclosed house edge where the site publishes one.
• If you tell us in the Discord that you want to stop, we will remove you from the boards and will not contact you about rewards.

Signs it is becoming a problem

• Depositing more to win back what you lost.
• Playing with money meant for rent, bills or food, or borrowing to play.
• Hiding how much you play from people close to you.
• Feeling restless or irritable when you cannot play, or playing to escape a bad mood.
• Opening cases or joining battles you did not plan to, because a leaderboard place or a bonus seemed within reach.

If two or more of these sound familiar, take a break now and talk to someone. The help lines below are free and confidential.

Limits and self-exclusion

Each partner site has its own tools. On Packy.gg, CSBattle and Chicken.gg you can ask support to set deposit limits, pause your account or close it for good; CSBattle and Chicken.gg list self-exclusion in their responsible gaming pages. Use the site's support chat and keep the confirmation. If you self-exclude anywhere, tell us in the Discord and we will take you off the leaderboards as well.

Streams and the leaderboards

What you see on stream is entertainment with a budget behind it, and the big wins get clipped because they are rare. The leaderboards are explained in How the BANDITS leaderboards work; nothing on them requires you to play more than you planned to.
