CS:GO and CS2 trading bots emerged a decade ago as a way to automate skin exchanges. Players deposit items, bots hold them, and trades execute based on pre-set parameters. While convenient, these bots introduce critical risks — platform exit scams, sudden shutdowns, and high commission fees that silently drain profits.
