Rain.gg guide: the free claims, the battle creator and what the wallet asks for

Rain.gg opens on a fixed left sidebar that doubles as the whole site map, and it puts the free things at the top rather than in a submenu. Above everything else sit two controls: a Claim button carrying a count, and a Rewards button. Under them is a Boosts row reading "Active: 1 of 3".

Below that the menu splits into four groups. Marketplace holds Buy and Sell. Games holds Cases, Battles, Double and Upgrader — four entries, and that is the entire game list. Profile holds Wallet, Vault and Settings. More holds Rewards, Affiliate, Events and Blog. Two race tiles are wedged between the Games and Profile groups, a 25K Weekly Race and a 5K Daily Race, each running a live countdown.

The main column repeats the same priorities. A Live Drops ticker runs across the top showing recent items and their values. Under it a Welcome Back panel prints reward progress — 0.00% and Bronze I on the captured account — beside four banner cards: the 25k Weekly Race, a 3DMAX sponsorship announcement, a Daily Events card reading "Play in our daily events and receive rewards", and a Free Rewards card, partly cut off at the edge of the frame, about claiming a daily case and earning free Eggs.

Anyone arriving from a "free CS2 gambling" search wants the top-left corner of this page: the Claim button, the Rewards button and the two race tiles. Everything below them costs money.

The Rewards page is where the free side of the account is actually defined, and it is short enough to read in a minute. The top strip shows the XP total — 0 XP on the captured account — a progress bar, a rank marker reading Bronze I, and two buttons: Open Dashboard and Buy XP.

Below that, a Ranking System row lays out four tiers against an XP requirement each:

• Bronze — 12.5K experience points.
• Silver — 500K experience points.
• Gold — 1.5M experience points.
• Platinum — 5M experience points.

Each tier lists the same five entitlements, named for the tier: a daily case, a weekly case, a monthly case, instant skin deposit, and a gem bank. So the recurring free cases are not a flat site-wide handout — they scale with rank, and the rank scales with XP. The gap between the first two tiers is the one to notice: 12.5K to reach Bronze, then forty times that to reach Silver.

Under the ranks sits a block headed The Advantages, with four cards: 24/7 Support, Dedicated VIP Host, Simplified Rewards, and Boosts And Reloads. The last of those matches the Boosts row in the sidebar, which read "Active: 1 of 3" in the capture — three boost slots, one of them running.

The Buy XP button deserves a flat reading. It sits directly beside the progress bar, which means the ladder that governs the free cases can also be climbed with money rather than with play. That is worth knowing before treating rank progress as a measure of anything.

The Events block runs two races side by side rather than one. The captured frame shows a 25,000 Weekly Race with 01d 03h left on its ring, and a 5,000 Daily Race with 03h 35m left on its own. Each card carries a Learn More button, an information icon, and a status line — both read "Not entered yet" on the captured account, so entry is not automatic.

The board underneath has four columns: Rank, User, Opened and Reward. Opened is the ranking metric, which makes the race a volume contest on case openings rather than a profit contest. The top of the captured board read:

• First — 456,760.56 opened, for a reward of 12,500.
• Second — 225,428.47 opened, for 5,000.
• Third — 184,952.04 opened, for 2,500.

The drop below the podium is steep and then flattens fast. Fourth paid 1,000, fifth 750, sixth 500, seventh 325, eighth 250, and ninth and tenth both 200. A Show More button extends the table past the tenth row, so the paid field runs deeper than the frame.

Read those two lists together before deciding a race is worth chasing. First place opened roughly twice what second place opened and took two and a half times the reward; by ninth place the reward is 200 against an opened total of 87,408.20. The realistic target for an ordinary account is the bottom of the paid field, not the podium — and the countdown rings tell you how much time is left to reach it.

The Cases page is a grid with a search box, a price-range dropdown and a sort control set to Price Descending by default. A filter row runs across the top: All, Originals, CS2, Knives, Gloves, 1%, 5%, 10% and Creator. The three percentage filters are the useful ones — they narrow the wall by the chance band rather than by theme.

The load-bearing part of that is the EOS block hash. It is a value from outside Rain, produced after the round is committed to, so the site cannot pick a seed that suits it once it knows what you staked. Whether the implementation matches the description is not something this page can establish — but the description is the right shape, which is more than several sites on this board publish at all.

Every card carries a name, a price in the site's coin unit, and a small four-point strip marked L, M, H and I with a marker sitting on one of them. That is a risk indicator printed on the tile itself, before anything is opened, and it varies visibly across the grid: the captured page had cases sitting on M, on H and one sitting on I. A magnifier icon in the corner of each card opens the contents, and the letter is a summary rather than a substitute for that item list.

The price spread on one screen ran from 6,017.30 at the top down past 1,614.59 at the bottom of the fourth row, with the wall continuing below the fold. Sorted by price descending, the expensive end was Binge, Lockdown, Rain, Gelato, Drizzle and Coconut; further down came names like Quantum, High Roller, Pixelated, High Stakes and Virus. The Creator filter implies a separate class of cases built by third parties, though nothing in this frame shows what distinguishes them.

A case battle is several players opening the same set of cases at the same time, with the results compared at the end. The lobby header in the capture read "19 Active Battles" across three tabs — Battles, Cooks and History — with a Create New Battle button on the right.

Each row shows the format, the entry cost, the case line-up, a progress counter such as 3/8 for cases opened, and either a Join button carrying the price or a Watch Battle button once the lobby is full. A running Unboxed figure sits under the button, so a spectator can see what a battle has produced so far. Costs on the captured board ranged from 0.07 for a six-way to 68.28 for a 4v4.

The three families

• Regular — every player for themselves. The creator screen offers 1v1, 3-way, 4-way and 6-way. The highest total wins; more seats means longer odds but a bigger pot.
• Team — players are grouped and the group totals are compared. The options are 2v2, 3v3, 4v4 and 2v2v2, the last being three teams of two rather than two of anything.
• Shared — offered as 2P, 3P and 4P. Grouped separately from both Regular and Team, which is what distinguishes it: the outcome is not one side beating another.

The seven modifiers

Below the format grid the creator carries seven toggles, each with its own information icon: Rain Spin, Fast Mode, Crazy Mode, Jackpot Mode, Terminal Mode, Borrow Mode and Private Match. Rain Spin was switched on by default in the capture; the other six were off.

Those toggles are not cosmetic, and they show up as labels back in the lobby. Rows on the battles list are tagged "Crazy" or "Team" beside the seat count, with small crown and lightning icons marking others — so a battle joined from the lobby may already be running a modifier the joiner did not choose. Read the tags on the row before pressing Join, and read the information icon in the creator before switching one on.

The rest of the creator is the case picker: the same search, price range, sort and filter row as the main case wall, with an Add button on each tile, an Auto control, a counter reading 0/50, and a Create Battle button that prices the lobby live as cases are added. Fifty cases is the ceiling. Save Cook and My Cooks store a configuration for reuse, which is what the Cooks tab in the lobby lists.

The Upgrader is the second thing most people reach for after cases, and Rain.gg's version is unusually explicit about the maths. The left panel switches between Skins and Coins, opens an inventory picker, and notes that multiple skins can be staked at once, with a Total value reading underneath. Five multipliers sit in a row: 1.5X, 2X, 5X, 10X and 20X.

The right side is the wheel, with a target picker labelled Rain Inventory. Under it are three read-outs that update as a stake and a target are chosen: Multiplier, Chance shown as a percentage, and Tickets shown as a numeric range. That last field is the one worth understanding — it exposes the slice of the range that counts as a win, rather than only showing the rounded percentage.

Double is a wheel game rather than a skin game. The captured round showed a pot of 1,893.81 with a "Rolling in" countdown, a strip of previous-round icons along the top, and a Last 100 tally counting how often each outcome has landed recently — the two 2x sides carrying counts in the forties and fifties, the rarer outcomes in single figures.

There are four betting lanes rather than the usual two. Play T pays 2X, Play CT pays 2X, Play Bait pays 7X, and Play Rain is labelled Rain Spin with no multiplier printed on the tile. Each lane lists the players currently in it and the total staked, so the board is fully visible before the roll — 7 players on Rain for 70.36, 1 player on CT for 205.59 in the captured round.

The bet field carries the usual quick controls: Clear, +0.1, +1, +10, +100, 1/2, 2X and Max, plus a Rain spin toggle and an Auto play toggle beside it. Auto play on a 2x wheel is the fastest way to turn a balance into nothing without noticing; the toggle was off in the capture and there is no reason to change that early.

The wallet is one panel with three tabs — Deposit, Redeem and Coupons — reached from the yellow Deposit button next to the balance chip in the header. The deposit side is the better documented of the two, and it groups its routes into three blocks.

• Deposit Options — crypto badged "15+" and "0% Fee", Mastercard, Visa, Apple Pay, Google Pay and gift cards, each tile naming the processor behind it.
• Exchanges & Wallets, badged New — Binance, Coinbase and an "Other exchanges" tile marked 100+.
• Other — two CS2 skins tiles, each naming a different skin service, plus a cards tile.

Two things at the edges of the panel matter more than the tile list. A "PROMO: INACTIVE" chip sits in the top right with an information icon, and a "Referral code" field with an Apply button sits at the foot of the tab. Together they mean an account can check its own offer state rather than assume it.

No minimum, fee or conversion rate is stated on this page. The 0% Fee badge on the crypto tile is the only fee wording visible in the capture, and it describes that one route. Everything else should be read off the panel at the moment of the deposit.

The payout screen is not documented here. The capture for this guide stopped at an email verification gate on the Redeem tab, so no method list, minimum, fee or processing time appears below. Nothing on this page describes a completed payout, because none was captured.

What the frame does establish is the shape of the flow. Redeem is the middle tab of the same wallet panel used for deposits. Behind the verification dialog, two headings are visible: "Redemption Options", leading with a CS2 skins tile, and "Alternative Options" below it, carrying a crypto tile marked 15+. A line at the foot of the panel offers to explain Rain's redemption options in more detail.

The gate itself is the practical finding. It reads "Verify your email address", states "You must verify your email address before you can withdraw", and offers a single email field and a Verify button. It appears on the way out, not on the way in — an account can deposit and play without ever having confirmed an address, and then meet this dialog at the worst possible moment. Doing the email step early costs nothing and removes it from the critical path.

The email gate is not the real obstacle, though. Rain publishes the redemption rules in its terms, and they are the strictest of any operator on this board.

Read that twice, because it changes what a deposit here is. On most sites a deposit is a balance you could in principle take back. On Rain it is a stake: you cannot put in $50, decide against it, and take the $50 out. The money has to be played through, and only what the play produces can leave. That is a legitimate and openly stated model — it is also a materially different transaction from the one most people think they are making, and no screen in this guide shows it.

The order to do things in, then: verify the email before you need it, expect an identity check if you paid in with a card and want crypto out, and treat anything deposited as spent rather than parked.

One more habit before the balance goes: the sidebar carries a Claim control with a count on it, a Rewards button beside it, and a Vault entry under Profile. Rank cases and boosts do not land in the balance on their own. Anything still sitting behind those buttons has to be collected first, or it gets left behind.
