How do I start?
Follow five steps in order. The first and last are the ones people skip, and they matter most.
-
Step 1: Check your age and local law
You must be 18 or older. Skin and crypto gambling is restricted or illegal in some countries and states.
-
Step 2: Create an account
Register with email or sign in through Steam. Use a strong, unique password.
-
Step 3: Make a small first deposit
Choose an amount you can afford to lose completely.
-
Step 4: Place a minimum bet
Learn the slider, the direction toggle and the payout readout with low stakes.
-
Step 5: Test a withdrawal early
Withdraw a small amount to see the process and the time it takes.
Before step one, set a budget and a time limit. Write them down. Our responsible gambling guide has tips.
What do I need to sign up?
Usually an email address or a Steam account, and sometimes identity checks. Requirements differ by site. Some state a KYC policy, and some ask for verification before a withdrawal. Check the terms first. If you plan to use skins you also need a Steam account in good standing. Our guide to choosing a safe CS:GO dice site shows what to look for before you register.
How much should I deposit first?
Deposit a small amount that you can lose entirely. The purpose of the first deposit is to learn the site and test how payouts work, not to win. Dice has a house edge, so over time you should expect to lose.
How do I place a bet?
A bet has four inputs: the stake, the direction (Roll Over or Roll Under), the target and the roll button.
- Enter a stake.
- Pick Roll Over or Roll Under.
- Move the target. The win chance and multiplier update.
- Press roll and read the result.
If you are unsure what the numbers mean, read how a CS:GO dice game works. Avoid autobet until you understand how fast it adds up: it can place many bets in a minute.
Do I need a trade link?
Only if you use skins. Skin deposits and withdrawals go through Steam trade offers, and a site usually asks for your Steam trade URL. Crypto-only players do not need one. The prerequisites and delays are covered in CS:GO dice deposits and withdrawals.
Why test a withdrawal early?
Because it is the best test of a site you can run cheaply. A small withdrawal shows how long it takes, what the site asks for and whether the terms match what it advertises. If a withdrawal is blocked or delayed without a clear reason, stop and do not deposit more. Treat advertised speeds as estimates until you have tested a small withdrawal yourself.
