Evidence-led assessment
Skinport is a German marketplace for CS2, Team Fortress 2, Dota 2, and Rust items. Its public pages name Skinport GmbH, publish seller-fee claims, and describe bank-account payouts. The high-value fee threshold, country-specific payout methods, KYC triggers, and affiliate rate remain gated or JavaScript-rendered.
This desk-researched profile is not a finding that the operator is legal, licensed, safe, or available in every country. It separates cited public information from account-only and transaction-only claims.
Public evidence supports a sourced profile; account-side terms and live cashier behavior remain untested unless explicitly stated.
What the public research covered
Public affiliate, partner, referral, or support page found. Exact rates may still be account-side.
Terms, FAQ, help, AML, KYC, license, or restricted-country source is linked in the research data.
Public complaint and reputation evidence is incomplete, so the trust assessment remains limited.
Public payment, fee, withdrawal, or cashout documentation is linked. This is not a transaction test.
No account was created, no forms were submitted, and no wager or deposit test was performed.
What Skinport is
Skinport (skinport.com), operated by Skinport GmbH in Germany, is a real-money skin marketplace — a place to buy and sell in-game items rather than a casino or case site. Its own copy pitches it as "Easy and Secure," with "no buyer fees" and "the cheapest skin prices for our customers." Although it is best known as a Counter-Strike 2 market, the site is multi-game: the homepage carries separate CS2, Team Fortress 2, Dota 2, and Rust markets. There are no cases, crash, or roulette modes.
Marketplace buying, selling, and bank payouts
The captured Market page shows a CS2 catalogue headed '3.7M items' with wear, exterior and price filters, float bars, reference prices and per-item discount badges; the other game categories show additional listings. Buyers can use cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Alipay and region-specific methods listed in the payment FAQ pages. Skinport's Sell page says sellers receive payouts to local bank accounts through SEPA, ACH and other rails, rather than skins or site credit.
No signup bonus; seller fees are the comparison
The reviewed public pages did not show a signup bonus, promo code or first-purchase discount. FAQ and blog snippets list an 8% standard seller fee, 6% on qualifying high-value items, 2% for private listings, no buyer fee and no payout fee, although a bank may charge transfer or conversion costs. The threshold for the 6% tier is not clearly published. Because the complete live fee pages were not readable, current figures remain unverified.
Skinport's application-only affiliate route
Skinport's footer links an application-based affiliate page at skinport.com/affiliate. It says partners earn a percentage of Skinport revenue from referred buyers and directs applicants to affiliate@skinport.com. The commission rate and payout terms are not public, eligibility is application-gated, and referred users receive no documented bonus or discount.
German entity, phishing risk, and bank payouts
Skinport names a German company and publishes Terms, Privacy, and Imprint pages. Its Trustpilot profile is broadly positive, while reported problems more often concern bank-transfer limits or phishing sites impersonating Skinport to steal Steam logins. Completed sales are generally non-refundable. Country-specific seller payouts, the high-tier fee threshold, KYC triggers, and affiliate commission remain gated; no account, sale, withdrawal, or affiliate application was tested.
This profile is built from public research dated 2026-07-16. SkinRake did not create an account, deposit, withdraw, pass KYC, or test an affiliate payment on Skinport. Account-only claims remain unconfirmed.
