Today, a leading online betting and gaming operator, Pinnacle, has partnered up with Sumsub, an identity verification platform that covers KYC/KYB/AML needs. Sumsub will ensure a simpler and faster onboarding flow for Pinnacle’s users. On top of that, the KYC & AML provider will help Pinnacle protect their users from unnecessary gambling risks and become even more socially responsible. The betting company will also get all of the necessary tools for payment fraud prevention and smarter risk management.

Pinnacle is a leading online betting platform with headquarters in Curaçao. In addition to sports and esports betting, the company also offers online casino services and has been in the business for over 20 years. Pinnacle is considered one of the most trustworthy sportsbooks in the industry, given its high security standards, which are similar to that of major financial institutions.

Sumsub has empowered Pinnacle with robust verification tools, such as biometric checks and AML screening. Also, the KYC provider has ensured accurate source of funds verification so that Pinnacle’s customers do not spend more than they can afford. This will help the betting platform to comply with responsible gambling requirements. Sumsub has also provided Pinnacle with legitimate chargeback protection mechanisms.

Looking for the best CS2 roulette site in 2025?

I’ve tested the top platforms to give you a clear breakdown of which sites offer the best bonuses, game selection, and withdrawal options for CS2 skin gambling.

Top CS2 Roulette Sites Compared

For those seeking new options, Skincade is emerging as the best CS2 roulette site with unique betting options including red (2x), black (2x), green (14x), and pink (7x) multipliers. The platform offers daily bonuses, a comprehensive rakeback system, and multiple game modes beyond just roulette.

CSGOLuck leads the pack with a 9.5/10 rating and an impressive 100% deposit bonus. The platform offers 3+ free cases and stands out for its trusted platform status, excellent game selection, and responsive customer support.

CSGORoll follows closely with a solid 9/10 rating. While it only offers a 5% bonus, it compensates with 3+ free cases, fast customer service, and a well-established reputation among CS2 gamblers.

CSGOEmpire maintains a high 9.5/10 rating despite offering 0% deposit bonus. It provides at least one free case and excels with its established platform, free cases system, and excellent game selection.

What Makes a Good CS2 Roulette Site?

The best platforms offer more than just roulette. Skincade and other top sites provide additional games like Case Battles, Case Opening, Mines, and Plinko to keep the experience fresh.

Provably fair systems are essential for trustworthy gambling. Skincade uses EOS Block Hashes to ensure fair results, while sites like CSGOEmpire have built their reputation on transparent gambling systems.

Bonus offerings vary significantly. CSGOLuck leads with a 100% deposit bonus, while CSGO500 matches with 100% but offers a slightly lower overall rating (9.3/10).

Instant Withdrawals and Security

The top-rated sites all offer instant skin withdrawals, with Skincade specifically mentioned for this feature. This allows players to quickly access their winnings without lengthy processing times.

Trustpilot reviews provide additional verification of site quality. Skincade currently holds a respectable 4/5 rating based on 7 reviews, supporting its high ranking among CS2 gambling platforms.

For players looking to maximize returns, sites like Duelbits offer up to 50% rakeback, though specialized sites like Skincade provide a more focused CS2 roulette experience with their own rakeback systems.

I recommend trying Skincade if you want a dedicated CS2 roulette experience with multiple betting options and daily bonuses to improve your gambling experience.

Thirsk Racecourse has announced that Ladbrokes will sponsor the 2025 Thirsk Hunt Cup.

First run in 1859, the £50,000 mile handicap is Thirsk’s most prestigious race and highlight of Thirsk Hunt Cup Day on Saturday, May 3.

Ladbrokes is the biggest and best-known betting brand in the UK with over 1500 betting shops, a digital betting business and a long-standing association with horse racing dating back many decades.

The company boasts a strong sponsorship portfolio in horse racing, including Kempton Park’s Ladbrokes Christmas Festival, the Ladbrokes Chester Cup and the Ladbrokes Chase at the Dublin Racing Festival.

Ladbrokes also sponsors leading Jump trainer Dan Skelton, who writes a weekly blog as he bids to win the British Jump trainers’ championship for the first time.

Farhh is the most notable winner of the Thirsk Hunt Cup in recent years, taking the 2012 edition by six lengths before a memorable Group 1 double the following year in the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury and Ascot’s Champion Stakes.

Simon Clare, PR Director for Ladbrokes, said: “We are excited to sponsor such an iconic and prestigious race as the Thirsk Hunt Cup, and look forward to partnering with Thirsk Racecourse as we seek to strengthen our support and promotion of the sport.”

James Sanderson, Chief Executive and Clerk of the Course, said: “We are delighted to have Ladbrokes sponsoring the Thirsk Hunt Cup and its supporting programme in 2025. The £50,000 Ladbrokes Thirsk Hunt Cup is an early Flat season highlight in the North and we are very grateful for Ladbrokes’ most valued support.

“Over the past 10 years, northern-based trainers have held a vice-like grip on the contest, with the notable exception of Mick Channon (and STORTING) in 2021. Thirsk always welcomes challengers from far and wide but taking the 2025 Ladbrokes Thirsk Hunt Cup down south will be no easy task.”
