Exclusive VIP benefits
CSGO500 has nine tiers of VIP memberships available: Silver, Gold, Sapphire, Emerald, Ruby, Diamond, Pearl, Obsidian and Opal. Upon reaching level 500, your account name will change color while sporting an emblem assigned to your membership’s tier.
Each tier comes with various benefits in order to help improve VIP members’ betting experiences above all expectations – here are just some of them:
- Promotional bonuses
- CSGO500 helps new VIPs on their journey with a welcome bonus – and the more you play and level up, the more bonuses you can earn
- Free withdraws
- Fees can quickly mount up, but VIP members can leave CSGO500 to deal with them (subject to the number of free withdraws as per daily limit)
- Rakeback
- As a VIP, every time you place a bet on a round, a percentage of it returns to you in the form of a bonus that is claimable from the rewards page (the percentage increases the higher your VIP tier is)
- Lossback (Sapphire-tier onwards)
- If you experience a loss as a VIP, a percentage of your deposits return to you in the form of a bonus on Friday evenings (the Lossback percentage increases the higher your VIP tier is)
- Weekly reloads (Gold-tier onwards)
- When you’re a VIP, weekly reloads will be credited to your account balance on Friday evenings (depending on your weekly activity)
A fair way to play
When it comes to gambling, it’s good to know that your service operator is honest and trustworthy so that you have a fair chance at winning some serious money. CSGO500 is rated an excellent 4.6 out of 5 stars on Trustpilot with tons of great reviews, so you know you’re in safe hands with them.
CSGO500 uses a provably fair algorithm to help maintain trust between players and operators by providing a transparent way to verify round results. With this algorithm, results are generated before the betting phase and they can’t be altered by the server operator for their benefit.
CSGO500 is perfectly honest about the fairness of its games, and you can read more about how it all works specific to each game on the ‘Fairness’ page of the website.
Keeping gambling safe and fun
Gambling is meant to be a fun pastime full of potential and excitement. However, CSGO500 understands that it’s sometimes easy to get carried away with the action and drawn in too deep into games.
CSGO500 emphasises the importance of being in control of your actions when playing on their site and encourages users to set reasonable limits, to be aware of gambling habits, and to seek help if needed.
If you ever view your gaming stats and feel like you’re gambling is getting out of control, please get in touch with the capable team at CSGO500 and they will restrict your access to the website. There is also a handy self-exclusion button that allows you to simply take a break from playing for a predetermined amount of time.

Finland’s Gambling Reform Is Official – What Happens Next?
The wait is over: The Finnish Parliament has officially approved the new gambling legislation. In a decisive plenary session, MPs voted 158 in favor to 9 opposed, with 32 abstaining. The text remained unchanged from the version presented in previous weeks, solidifying the framework for Finland’s transition from a monopoly to a licensed market.
With the political uncertainty resolved, the focus now shifts to implementation. For operators, this means the race to compliance—and market entry—has effectively begun.
The Confirmed Timeline
With the legislation passed, the roadmap to the market opening is now set. Operators must use the coming months to prepare for a rigorous licensing process.
-
Early 2026: The application window is expected to open. The regulator will begin accepting and reviewing license applications.
-
2026 (Throughout): The “preparatory year.” This period is dedicated to vetting applicants, ensuring technical compliance, and establishing the new supervisory authority.
-
January 1, 2027: The regulated Finnish market officially opens. Licensed operators can go live with betting and online casino services.
Entering the Finnish Market with Nordic Legal
Navigating a new jurisdiction is complex, but it doesn’t have to be inefficient. With extensive experience advising on gaming licences across the Nordic markets, Nordic Legal brings a proven, practical approach to the Finnish process.
Efficiency Through Synergy If you already work with us in Denmark or Sweden, we ensure your Finnish licence application isn’t a “start from scratch” project. We build directly on our existing knowledge of your organisation and systems.
Your usual Nordic Legal contact will coordinate directly with our Helsinki team at no extra cost. This integrated approach saves you time and avoids the frustration of duplicating work you’ve already done for other Nordic licenses.
Our Approach We focus on smart compliance:
-
Reusing documentation where regulations overlap.
-
Anticipating regulatory questions before they are asked.
-
Aligning requirements for technical standards and responsible gambling.
-
Engaging constructively with the Finnish authority to ensure a smooth process.
The Finnish Licence Application Package
To support your entry, we offer a comprehensive package designed to handle the heavy lifting:
-
Translation of all required documents.
-
Guidance and completion of complex application forms.
-
Full project management from start to submission.
-
Direct communication with the Finnish regulator on your behalf.

GAMEPOP: The Culture of Play by Red Bull Media House – the first bookazine devoted entirely to video game culture
Introducing GAMEPOP: The Culture of Play, a new premium bookazine by Red Bull Media House and the world’s first magazine dedicated entirely to video-game culture. Designed as a rich, book-like publication, GAMEPOP rethinks what a magazine can be, capturing the creativity, personalities and ideas shaping modern gaming. GAMEPOP will debut at the Red Bull Tetris World Final in Dubai from December 11 to 13, followed by The Game Awards on December 11. The issue will then be available through select international retailers in the weeks that follow.
Across 180 pages, the issue brings together a wide range of cultural voices, including Japanese game designer Hideo Kojima, leading DC Comics creators, the Oscar-nominated team behind Grand Theft Hamlet and contributors with bylines in Vogue. The bookazine also spotlights standout Red Bull talent, including YouTube star Ludwig, Twitch creators Emiru and Caedrel, and Red Bull athlete MenaRD.
Rather than treating gaming as a standalone medium, GAMEPOP looks at how games influence, and are influenced by, wider culture. Through original photography, long-form features, illustration and visual essays, the publication explores how gaming connects to global trends in style, music, movement, storytelling and performance, and the creative communities driving that conversation.
The issue also includes interactive elements, including a bespoke Choose Your Own Adventure story created exclusively for the launch. A limited collector edition of 150 copies takes the concept a step further, featuring a fully functioning Tetris® device embedded directly into the cover – an industry first that turns the magazine into an object of play.
