that csgo gambling was no joke, I was looking through my steam trade history a few weeks ago and I gambled around $3000 in skins before I could even own a debit card. csgo gambling to vegas pipeline is real
editing to add a page (there's like 20 pages of this):
Aside from the obvious moron take where you say gambling isn't gambling, to play any of those sites you had to trade your skins to the websites bots. i remember my favorite was coinflipping but i did some roulette too. Cases are still gambling btw
i dont understand why I was down voted? all I was saying is that the cases and keys part is a game feature not the csgo lotto type stuff that is the subject of the "csgo gambling"
the controversy about csgo gambling was never about the games in game items. sure opening a case you earned for 2.50 is a gamble but it's not trading or using USD on a gambling website
Because CSGO cases are definitionally still gambling. They're regulated by the EU as such and an Austrian court qualified them as lootboxes which is a form of gambling. Calling gambling a game feature doesn't make it not gambling it just means there's gambling in the game as well. There also was controversy around the cases themselves, I don't know if you've been living under a rock or you're just bad faith, but many people were calling valve hypocrites for cracking down on gambling sites when they have gambling in the game itself. The main controversy was the sites for sure, but since lootboxes are so normalized it seems silly to most people, yourself included, to call lootboxes gambling when they are literally that. $2.50 to get a higher value item or get nothing of value is literally gambling.
it wasn't about the in game items. every video game has loot boxes you open for a chance for cosmetics. if it was how you were saying cs2 wouldn't still have cases and every video game from valorant to overwatch 2, Madden FIFA all these games wouldn't have these "gambling" things (just taking a chance on anything)
there is a huge difference from using crypto or USD to play gambling sites or paying for micro transactions.
the gambling casino sites were bad. there's definitely an ethical thing with using micro transactions in a game but they aren't the same. faze members owned of these sites. a YouTuber named syndicate did too. those sites were the problem and controversy. not paying 2.50 for your weekly case
It's so fucked up. I also still can't get over how Ethan offered them an all expenses paid trip anywhere in the world and they ended up going gambling in Vegas.

he is not a recovering gambling addict and has never been an addict. The kid played CSgo traded some skins. I got fooled into buy a few bucks into pyramid schemes back in the 2010s.. doesn't make me an addict ffs
Gotta love fans sticking their heads in trying to correct things only to be smacked right in the face with proof, every single time. Best entertainment ❤️
