What is WhiteMarket: a CS2 skin marketplace from the WhiteBIT team

If you play CS2, you know skins aren’t just something you open from cases — you can buy and sell them for real money. The Steam Market isn’t great for that: you can’t withdraw money from it, and the fee is noticeable. That’s why third-party marketplaces exist, and WhiteMarket is one of them.

What it is

WhiteMarket (white.market) is a P2P marketplace for CS2 skins. P2P means you buy from another player, not from the platform, and the site acts as the middleman. It’s been around since 2023 and is part of the ecosystem of WhiteBIT, one of the larger European crypto exchanges.

How it works

• You sign in with Steam.
• A seller lists a skin. Until someone buys it, the skin stays in the seller’s inventory.
• You buy it, and the item arrives through a regular Steam trade.

Fees

According to the platform, buyers pay no fee and sellers pay 5%. Check the current numbers before trading anyway: these things change.

Deposits and withdrawals

You can top up with crypto and withdraw to a bank card, among other options. There are also WhiteBIT Codes, which let you transfer from the WhiteBIT exchange with no fee. If you already have a WhiteBIT account, that’s the easiest way.

One thing reviewers point out: money you deposit can only be spent on skins. You can withdraw what you earn from selling, and only after KYC.

What to watch out for

• Your balance is held by the platform, so don’t leave large amounts sitting there.
• Only use the official white.market site. There are plenty of fake “markets” with Steam login that are used to steal accounts.
• Turn on Steam Guard if you haven’t yet.

Promos

WhiteMarket and WhiteBIT are running a Cache Back promo right now: up to $25 in XAUT, a gold-backed token, for buying a skin.
