CS2 CASE ROI CALCULATOR
Mathematical Expected Returns based on live Steam market pricing
Our algorithms utilize Valve's official unboxing drop rates: Mil-Spec (79.92%), Restricted (15.98%), Classified (3.20%), Covert (0.64%), and Rare Special (0.26%). Calculations factor in StatTrak variants and wear condition distributions with daily market synchronization.
Will Opening 300 Cases Secure You a Gold Item?
EXPERT ANSWER
Unboxing 300 cases is very close to the average statistical sweet spot (1 in 385). However, CS2 uses standard random distribution, meaning there is no progressive pity. 300 opens still carry no guarantee.
PROBABILITY ANALYSIS
The math gives us a \(0.9974^{300} \approx 45.77\%\) probability of **zero gold items** in 300 opens. Your chance of unboxing at least one gold is **54.23%**. Even though the odds favor you, a 45.77% failure rate remains.
