What are Empire coins in CSGO?
Empire Coins have nothing to do with CS2 itself – they’re the internal balance used on the third-party skin-betting site CSGO Empire, not something Valve puts in your game. If you’ve been trading skins since the CS:GO days you’ll recognise the shape of it – it’s the same third-party skin-economy logic that’s existed for years, just with Empire’s own house games layered on top. There’s no mission, level-up, or in-game market where you earn or spend them – the whole system lives on CSGO Empire’s platform.
How Empire Coins actually work
- Deposit. You fund your CSGO Empire account with CS2 skins, cryptocurrency, or (where supported) cash.
- Convert. Whatever you deposit gets converted into Coins at a floating, market-linked rate – skins are valued against their current market price, so the Coins-per-dollar rate moves with the skin market rather than being fixed.
- Wager. Coins are the stake currency for CSGO Empire’s games – roulette, coinflip, case openings, case battles, and match betting on CS2 and other esports.
- Withdraw. Winnings come back out as skins or cryptocurrency. CSGO Empire doesn’t pay out Coins directly to a bank account or card – see our cash-out guide for the full withdrawal picture.
Not to be confused with Diamond Pick’Ems coins
Valve also has its own “coin” system – the Bronze/Silver/Gold/Diamond Pick’Ems coins earned by correctly predicting Major matches. Those are cosmetic Steam profile items with zero connection to CSGO Empire’s Coins – see our Diamond Pick’Ems coins guide for that side of things.
