    Every ship, every ranking shift, every correction. Most CS2 affiliate portals never explain when their rankings changed. We do. A "ranked #1 in 2026" claim should be auditable, and this page is the audit trail.

      Brand-colour identity system + trust polish (founding years, dynamic counts, 404 suggestions)

      Visual: each operator now carries its own brand-colour identity across every affiliate-funnel surface. Single source of truth: src/lib/brandColors.ts maps each affiliate slug to an HSL triplet. Platform review pages (12 affiliates) override --primary/--accent/--ring/--claim via CSS variable wrappers — every CTA, ring, and accent shifts to that operator's brand colour without touching shared components. Affiliate cards on /sites and /bonus-codes carry a brand-colour top strip / left bar. FeaturedCompares cards on the homepage split brand-colour washes left/right per matchup (editorial-only sites fall back to neutral to preserve the affiliate-vs-editorial distinction). OperatorLogo gets a 1.5px brand-colour ring on affiliate chips; propagates to 77 files in a single component edit. Homepage operator hierarchy cards (#1–#6) carry brand-colour top strips. Hellcase page now has a fire-themed signature band (layered radial gradients + ember stipple + 5 fire-themed skin tiles). Loading screen rewritten to use the actual Wordmark lockup instead of the legacy V + stencil text. Trust: OPcases and CSGOLuck FAQ answers were silently contradicting their own hero badges on founding year (FAQ said 2018/2017, About said 2021/2020); aligned. Counts: src/lib/siteCounts.ts replaces 9 hardcoded "51 sites" / "83 compares" / "12 partners" surfaces (FeaturedCompares, Glossary, Blacklist, EditorialReview, CompareSandbox, 3 compare pages, NotFound). Caught a real stale count in the process — /review/:slug was showing 62 compares when the live count is 83. UX: /404 page suggestions now iterate the full affiliate registry with a per-operator token map, so visitors typing /gamdom, /howl, /hellcase, /farmskins, /csgoroll, /csgofast, /opcase, /cases.gg get a smart suggestion instead of a generic fallback. Site count on the 404 popular-destinations panel reads from SITE_COUNTS.

      Visual polish pass, color consistency, typography, and SEO housekeeping

      Replaced all non-semantic emerald-500/400 colors with the brand teal (text-primary/fill-primary) across 8 platform pages (ClashGG, HowlGG, CasesGG, CSGOFast, CSGO500, CSGOLuck, Hellcase, plus MixedCompareLayout and CompareCSGOFastVsCSGOEmpire). Editorial attribution lines in platform reviews updated to font-mono text-muted-foreground style. Trustpilot label in CSGO500 switched to proper eyebrow label style. Structured data in index.html updated: ItemList date April 2026 -> May 2026, duplicate theme-color meta tag removed. Sitemap /responsible-play URL corrected to /responsible (was 404). Withdrawal tests snapshot comment updated to May 2026. StarRating component applied to all Best* pages + ImmersivePlatformLayout. Main bundle reduced 88% (5.7MB -> 683KB) via lazy-loading blog post data.

      Light mode restored + mobile nav and token migration

      Light mode toggle restored to the site header (was disabled for the May redesign). ThemeProvider now reads/writes localStorage so preference persists across sessions. index.html FOUC-prevention script reads localStorage correctly. Sites directory and Homepage migrated from hardcoded dark hex values (#08080a, #111113, #0e0e10) to semantic CSS variable tokens (bg-background, bg-card, border-border) so both themes render correctly. Mobile nav strip gets min-w-0 fix to prevent text truncation on small screens. Compare page backgrounds fixed. select element gets appearance-none for cross-platform consistency.

      Compare index tiles, shadow card style, logo chip cleanup

      Compare page tiles switched from border+bg-card/60 to iOS shadow card style. Logo chips inside each tile now use bg-secondary/50 (no explicit border). Cleaner, faster to paint.

      Compare sandbox: build any 2–4 way compare from the 41 sites

      Previously you could only browse the 38 hand-written compare pages we'd thought to write. Now you can pick any combination of the 41 sites we cover (12 partners + 29 editorial-only) and see them side-by-side. URL-synced so the compare is shareable.

      Author bylines: named individual attribution across the blog

      Replaced the corporate-anonymous "SkinsVault Editorial Team" byline on 21 blog posts with named attribution to Andreas Lefdal, plus a real bio with external profile links and a richer author-bio card at the end of each post.

      JSON-LD schema: editorial Review replaces fake aggregateRating

      The homepage structured data had aggregateRating with invented ratingCount values ("10000" reviews for Clash.gg, etc.). Risky for Google rich-result eligibility. Replaced with Review schema authored by SkinsVault Editorial Team, accurately represents our editorial rating without claiming aggregated user reviews we don't have.

    5. CorrectionApril 25, 2026

      Fixed stale top 5 in homepage structured data

      The JSON-LD ItemList had Gamdom at #4 and Cases.gg at #5, both wrong since we last reordered the rankings. Updated to match RANKED_AFFILIATES: #4 is Howl.gg (free-cases specialist), #5 is CSGORoll (fastest crypto payout in our test set).

      Two new mode landings: skin trading + marketplaces

      Closed two SEO coverage gaps. /best-cs2-trading-sites-2026 ranks CSGOEmpire on top with 6 editorial-only trading platforms (CS.MONEY, Swap.gg, Tradeit.gg, ShadowPay, SkinsMonkey, CS.Deals). /best-cs2-marketplaces-2026 same structure with 7 editorial-only marketplaces.

      Site-wide affiliate disclosure stripe

      Moved disclosure from footer to a thin always-visible bar at the top of every page. FTC-aligned and (paradoxically) trust-building, readers prefer sites that are upfront about incentives.

      Theme follows desktop OS settings by default

      Was hardcoded dark; now defaults to system (prefers-color-scheme) with explicit light/dark override via the Header toggle. Inline pre-mount script in index.html prevents flash-of-wrong-theme on first paint.

      Favicons for all 29 editorial-only brands

      Each non-affiliate now renders its actual brand mark (via the Google s2 favicon resolver) on /sites, /compare, mode landings, and individual review pages. No more generic letter chips for 29 sites.

    12. CorrectionApril 24, 2026

      /sites filter pills now actually filter editorial-only sites

      Bug: clicking "Casino" or "Marketplace" only narrowed the 12 affiliate cards, the 29 editorial-only cards always rendered below regardless of filter. Confusing. Fix: filter logic split across both lists, two new categories added (Trading + Rental, both editorial-only-exclusive), pill counts now sum affiliate + editorial matches accurately.

      Best CS2 esports betting mode landing

      /best-cs2-esports-betting-sites-2026 launched. Three sites with real CS2 match books (CSGOEmpire, Gamdom, 500.Casino) ranked by market depth, settlement speed, and licensing. Skin-gambling sites without real match books are explicitly excluded.

    14. Ranking changeApril 22, 2026

      Clash.gg moved from #2 to #1; 500.Casino moved from #1 to #2

      April test cycle showed Clash.gg pulling ahead on mobile UX, free-case onboarding, and crypto payout speed (8m 30s avg vs 15m 50s on 500.Casino). 500.Casino still wins on welcome bonus headline number ($1,000 match) and licensing posture (Curaçao OGL/2024/1354/0882). The two are close, both rated 4.9, but Clash earns the top slot because it answers the most common reader job-to-be-done ("open CS2 cases with a SkinsVault code") more directly.
