How we check codes

Every code on CS2PromoHub is entered on the operator's site by a member of our editorial team. We note the date, what the code actually gave, and the conditions that came with it.

What "Checked" means

Next to each code you see the date of the last check. If a check failed, the code is marked as not working until we find a replacement. We never show a date for a check that did not happen.

Order of the list

The default order is set by the editorial team. Paid placements are always labelled "Sponsored" and are shown separately from our own assessment.

Your votes

Under each code you can say whether it worked for you. Votes from the last 30 days are shown as they are. Many "did not work" votes trigger a new check.

Our score

Every site gets a score from 0 to 10, calculated from five criteria shown on its page:

• Bonus value (35%): free balance without a deposit, the deposit bonus percentage, a free case and other perks.
• Code freshness (20%): how long ago we last confirmed the code works. Within 7 days scores highest. A site without a code or bonus (link only) gets a neutral score here: there is nothing to check.
• Opinions (15%): your votes on this site, plus Trustpilot and app store ratings where they exist. With no data yet the criterion is neutral, not a penalty.
• Giveaways (15%): skin giveaways the site is running right now.
• Availability and app (15%): in how many countries the site is blocked, and whether it has a mobile app.

When our team has tested a site in depth, it can set the score by hand. The page then says so.
