Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about CSPump
What CSPump is, what it covers, and how the free and pro tiers work. If your question isn't here, reach out and we'll add it.
What CSPump is
The basics, and what we're not
What is CSPump?
CSPump is a Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) skin market intelligence tool. It detects pumps, dumps, and accumulation across Western and Chinese markets and alerts you when the items you own or watch start moving. It works whether you just have skins sitting in your inventory or you trade actively.
Is CSPump a cryptocurrency, token, or memecoin?
No. CSPump has no relation to any coin or token, including any project on pump.fun. The name collision is coincidental. CSPump is exclusively a CS2 skin market intelligence tool, not a crypto asset of any kind.
Can I buy or sell skins on CSPump?
No, CSPump is not a marketplace. It tracks prices and detects pumps, dumps, and accumulation across existing marketplaces, then alerts you. You still buy and sell through the marketplaces themselves.
What do "pump," "dump," and "accumulation" mean?
A pump is a sharp, often coordinated price rise. A dump is a sharp sell-off, usually right after a pump. Accumulation is quiet buying that often happens before a pump starts, before the price move is visible on a normal chart.
Markets and data
What we track and how
Does CSPump only cover Steam, or also Chinese marketplaces?
CSPump covers both Western and Chinese CS2 skin markets in one place. Most trackers only cover Steam, which misses a large share of where pumps and dumps actually start.
Does CSPump track only weapon skins, or also cases and stickers?
Coverage goes beyond weapon skins. Cases, stickers, and other tradeable CS2 items are tracked and included in pump, dump, and accumulation detection, not just skins in the narrow sense.
Can I trust the price data?
The prices you see are pulled from live market data and synced multiple times a day. Each item shows the exact timestamp of its last sync, so you always know how fresh the number is, and the algorithm runs continuously against that same fresh data.
How accurate is the algorithm? What about false positives?
No algorithm is perfect. We work with live market data, and on thin markets a small number of trades can move the displayed price without real demand behind it. That is what the confidence score is for. Lower confidence means treat it carefully. Higher volume plus sustained movement is the more reliable signal.
Using CSPump
Tiers, safety, and how it's funded
What's the difference between free and pro?
Free tracks the items already in your CS2 inventory and alerts you by email when they move. It's a complete product on its own for players who just want to know when their stuff moves. Pro adds tracking across the entire CS2 catalog, watchlists for specific items you don't own yet (including items sitting in storage containers or other accounts), a live and historical view of pumped items, and more advanced alert filtering, for traders and investors who want to catch the next move rather than just react to one.
Is my Steam account safe? What does login actually give you?
We use Steam's official OpenID flow. You authenticate on Steam, Steam sends us your SteamID64, and that is it. We never see, store, or have access to your password, items, trades, or messages. We cannot trade on your behalf, list anything, or make any change to your account. You can revoke access anytime from your Steam profile settings.
Is it free? How is it funded?
CSPump is free for players. If you just have items sitting in your inventory, you get alerted when they move at no cost. CSPump Pro is for active traders and investors who want full-catalog coverage, watchlists, and faster checks. Pro subscriptions are how the project is funded. We do not run ads and we do not sell user data, and we will always be upfront about how CSPump makes money.
Does CSPump give financial advice or guarantee profit?
No. CSPump surfaces signals, it does not promise outcomes. Nothing in the product is financial advice, and there's no guarantee that any pump, dump, or accumulation signal results in a profitable trade. Decisions on what to do with your items are yours.
