/ 06 — FAQ
Questions, answered.
01Who can participate?
Anyone aged 18+ with a valid Steam account and access to Skins.Cash from their country. Some jurisdictions restrict skin trading — check your local laws.
02Do I need to make all 24 predictions to qualify?
No. Partial entries count — even one correct prediction adds to your score. But to compete for the top 5, you'll want to lock in as many as possible across all three stages.
03What if I sell less than $50?
The Pick'Em won't unlock until you cross the $50 mark in cumulative sales during the promotion window. Your normal sell flow on Skins.Cash works as always — only the promotion entry is gated.
04Can I withdraw my money before the Major ends?
Yes. Cash from your skin sales is yours immediately — withdraw it however you like. Your Pick'Em entry is locked the moment you cross $50 and stays valid regardless of withdrawal activity.
05How are winners determined?
By total Pick'Em score. Each correct prediction earns points; the five participants with the highest scores when the Champions Stage ends each win one prize skin. Prize assignment follows leaderboard position: #1 takes the Butterfly Knife Gamma Doppler grand prize, followed by the four Tier 1 skins in order.
06What if I tie someone?
Ties are broken by submission timestamp — whoever locked in their final prediction first wins the tiebreaker. Submit early.
07When and how are prizes delivered?
Between June 23–25, 2026, via Steam trade to the account you used to enter. Standard Steam trade hold periods may apply depending on your Steam Guard status. Winners will be contacted by support to coordinate delivery.
08Are these real Steam inventory items?
Yes. All five prize skins are real Counter-Strike 2 inventory items delivered to your Steam account. No cash equivalents or substitutions.
09Is this affiliated with Valve, ESL, or IEM?
No. This promotion is run by Skins.Cash and is not sponsored, endorsed, or administered by Valve Corporation, ESL Gaming, Intel Extreme Masters, or any of their affiliates. Counter-Strike, CS2, Steam, IEM, and IEM Cologne are trademarks of their respective owners.
10What if a match is cancelled or rescheduled?
Official Valve bracket result rules apply. If an entire stage is cancelled or significantly rescheduled, Skins.Cash reserves the right to adjust scoring or extend lock deadlines. Any adjustment will be announced via email and on this page.
Got the answers. Now go.
Sign in, sell $50, lock your picks. The next deadline isn't waiting.
