Beginner guide › Levels & rewards
CSGOEmpire levels & rewards explained
Every CSGOEmpire account has a level, shown next to your name and in chat. You level up by playing, and higher levels unlock rewards. I've been on the site since 2016 and I'm level 70, so here's how it works in practice.
How you earn XP
- XP comes from wagering. The more you bet across the games, the more XP you get.
- Levels get harder. Each level needs more XP than the last, so early levels come fast and high levels take a long time.
- Your level is public. Other players see it in chat, which is why high levels are a bit of a status symbol.
What rewards you get
The Rewards section at the top of the site shows what you can claim. Depending on your level and activity, that can include:
Level-up cases
Free cases unlocked as you reach new levels.
Rakeback-style rewards
A small part of what you wager coming back to you over time.
Chat & perks
Some features, like chatting, may require a minimum level.
Is it worth chasing levels?
Honestly: no, not on its own. Rewards give back a fraction of what you wager, so you can't wager your way to a profit through levels. Treat rewards as a small bonus on top of playing you'd do anyway, not a reason to play more.
Tip: claim your rewards regularly so you don't forget them, but set a budget first. See play safe.

How do I level up fast on CSGOEmpire?
XP comes from wagering, so there's no free shortcut. Leveling faster means betting more, which also means risking more.
Do levels ever reset?
Your level stays on your account as you play. Check the Rewards page for any seasonal events.
What does the number next to names in chat mean?
That's the player's level. Higher numbers mean they've wagered more on the site over time.
