Nobody wants to load into a match and spend the first two rounds wondering whether someone's cheating. It sours the whole game, and it's the quickest way to make people stop playing. Fair matches are the point of CSGOPremier, so we've added an anti-cheat verifier to protect them. It counts for even more in our paid events like the Cash Ladder, where there's real money riding on a clean game, but the goal is the same whether or not anything's on the line.
Not everyone has to run it
Most players will never see the anti-cheat. We turn it on only for accounts that have been heavily reported or that we suspect of cheating. If you play fair, you can keep queuing exactly as you do now.
Why it matters
One cheater doesn't just beat you. They waste the time of everyone in the lobby and make the result meaningless. A win only counts for anything if it was actually earned, whether you're climbing for pride or chasing a spot on the ladder. Keeping the game clean is what keeps it worth showing up for.
What it looks at, and for how long
We don't publish how the anti-cheat spots cheating, because that would just help the people we're trying to catch. What we will spell out is how we handle the data. It looks only at what's relevant to game integrity while you play, access is restricted to authorised review staff, and we never sell it. Verifier screenshots are deleted automatically within 12 hours; limited session and integrity metadata may be retained for investigations. The full breakdown is in our Privacy Policy.
The short version
Play fair and nothing here changes your night. If you don't, you'll be asked to run the verifier, and if you won't, you won't be playing. That's a trade we're glad to make for matches people can actually trust.
Frequently asked questions
Does every player have to run the anti-cheat?
No, most players never touch it. It's only required for accounts that have been heavily reported or are suspected of cheating. Play fair and you'll almost certainly never be asked to run it.
Why does a CS:GO site need its own anti-cheat?
Because cheating ruins the game for everyone else in the lobby. Ranked is worth playing only when you can trust that a win was earned. That matters in every match, and a little more in our prize events, where a cheater is also taking real money from honest players.
Does the anti-cheat spy on my computer?
No. It collects only allowlisted device/account metadata and signals relevant to game integrity; it doesn't watch your general computer use, and we don't sell the data. Access is restricted to authorised review staff, and verifier screenshots are deleted automatically within 12 hours. See our Privacy Policy for the details.
How are players chosen to run it?
It comes down to reports and suspicion. Accounts that pick up a lot of reports, or that trip our review process, can be asked to run the verifier to keep queuing. Everyone else plays as normal.
