The Story Behind CSWhale

A marketplace built from frustration, driven by vision.

Why I Built This

I'm Oskar, founder and CEO of CSWhale. Like many of you, I tried selling large quantities of CS2 cases through existing marketplaces. The experience was frustrating—every platform was obsessed with single, high-value knife skins while completely ignoring bulk traders like us.

I didn't want to haggle over individual items like some garage sale. I wanted to move thousands of cases efficiently, with real data and transparent pricing. When I couldn't find that platform, I decided to build it myself.

"For six months, the MVP was always 'just a month away' in my head. But I kept going because I believed CS2 investing deserved better."

What started as scratching my own itch became something bigger—a vision for what CS2 trading could be. Not just another marketplace, but a proper investment platform that treats digital items as financial assets. Because that's what they are.

Building CSWhale took way more work than I ever imagined. But seeing traders move from tedious manual listings to bulk operations, from guessing prices to data-driven decisions—that made every late night worth it.

Our Vision

I want CSWhale users to feel like investors, not bargain hunters. This means clean interfaces, transparent data, and tools that respect your time. We're financializing non-financial products because CS2 items aren't just pixels—they're assets with real value, real markets, and real opportunity.

Join the Movement

CS2 investing is a unique niche with incredible potential. My goal is to inspire more people to see what we see—that these digital assets can be part of a serious investment strategy. Together, we're building something special: a data-driven, emotionally engaging investment journey that just happens to involve CS2 skins.

This is just the beginning. As we grow, we'll keep pushing the boundaries of what a gaming marketplace can be. Because you deserve better than the status quo.
