Our take
DMarket and CS.MONEY both combine a peer-to-peer market with bot trading and instant sell. The gap is in the fees and in how you get money out.
Seller fees. DMarket takes 2% on most CS2 sales, up to 10% on low-priced or low-liquidity items, 4% on Face2Face sales and 5% on Dota 2, TF2 and Rust. CS.MONEY's Market takes 5%, or 3% on items of $1,000 and up. CS.MONEY Trade mode costs 7% plus up to 13% on trade-locked items. Neither charges buyers a fee. See the fees page for the full table.
Withdrawals. Neither adds a withdrawal fee of its own. DMarket pays out to PayPal, Skrill or Payoneer within 48 hours, or to card, wire or SEPA within 7 working days, from $5. CS.MONEY pays to Visa cards or PayPal, depending on region, from $10, after a 7 day hold and within a $1,000 daily cap. On both, only sale earnings can be withdrawn.
Identity checks. DMarket needs KYC for card deposits and may ask for it on withdrawal. CS.MONEY needs KYC before any withdrawal.
Deposits. DMarket lists Visa, Mastercard and Bitcoin, from $1. CS.MONEY lists cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, crypto, BLIK and Pix, also from $1.
Games and access. DMarket covers CS2, Dota 2, TF2 and Rust, and blocks users in Russia and Belarus. Our CS.MONEY record lists CS2 only. DMarket has its own 2FA, and our CS.MONEY record shows none.
For larger cash sales, DMarket's fee and payout options go further. For topping up with PayPal, Apple Pay or local methods like BLIK and Pix, CS.MONEY has more choice. Read the DMarket review and CS.MONEY review.
