News Alert: Beyond eSports and CSGO Trading PHYSICAL SPORTS AND ESPORTS SHARES A LOT IN COMMON


Beyond eSports and CSGO Trading: CSGO Skins Gambling Physical sports have more in common with eSports than most people think. Both have hundreds of thousands of viewers and followers and established teams that are loved by many worldwide. Professional sports and eSports have promoted gambling among its fans. Let’s be fair: it’s not the fault of either two endeavors, as humanity has been bet their money on anything that involves probability for hundreds of years. However, this day and age, gambling is more popular than in previous decades, even on the eSports side. Apparently, gambling scene on Counter Strike: Global Offensive’s (CS:GO) is so big that CSGO Trading is happening.


CSGO Skins


The CSGO Skins Betting Issue Gambling in CSGO is done quite differently than in traditional sports, and it appeals to a niche demographic. Unlike in boxing matches where anyone can place money on betting outlets, CSGO gambling is in networks that offer CSGO trading. These sites, which mostly serve as places where players buy and sell cheap CSGO skins can double in CSGO betting channels. Almost everyone who engages in CSGO gambling is a gamer.


For those who don’t play online games, it’s a natural reaction for them to write off this particular activity as something done by kids that are emulating adult behavior. Some would even call this something a “nonlegit” sport industry does that props itself as a billiondollar market (you probably saw an infomercial or so in your lifetime on TV). CSGO gambling began as a simple fan base-level shenanigan that has grown into an empire.


Nowadays, however, some individuals who have no idea about how big CSGO gambling is has retained those dismissive outlooks toward betting. The shift isn’t because gambling grew bigger, but because of the discovery that betting can be a fast and lucrative business. It’s difficult to say how large the industry is since its unregulated, but according to industry analysts and observers, including Bloomberg, it was as 2.3 billion dollar business in 2015. Even though that large figure has shrunken due to the crackdown of sites that engage in CSGO gambling, it’s still big today. If the practice is done the same way as it in 2015, then authorities are going to bring out the whip.

Unrestrained and Interconnected The unregulated nature and illegality of CSGO skins gambling is without a doubt a problem because of its lack of age restrictions. As long as a person has a Steam account and CSGO skins, he or she can engage in CSGO skins gambling. Why? Well, gambling is a highly addictive, which can cause life-altering behavior. Individuals below the age of 21 (this varies on the country, environmental factors, and socioeconomic status) haven’t fully developed cognitively, and they don’t completely recognize the implications for gambling.


While CSGO skins gambling platforms have become smaller because of regulations, it’s still a shame how Valve let this happen in the first place. There’s no point in beating around the bush: the company had allowed the black market (underground marketplaces) to flourish by taking no action against their unethical business practices. Then again, why would Valve worry when everyone is getting a piece of the pie? When players lose, they buy CSGO skins from Valve; then they go back to these third-party sites and bet again.


The revenue from CSGO skins and keys that get sold on Steam are a significant source of funding for the massive prize pools in big eSports events, including major CS:GO tournaments. Major cash rewards encourage the best teams to compete, and the most excellent teams attract big crowds. These matches also make CSGO trading sites organize skin gambling. To say that the eSports scene is to blame for the spread of wrongdoing, however, isn’t right.



A vast majority of gamers and sports enthusiasts will continue to play and appreciate games (some will have the desire to gamble). When the fun has gotten out of bounds, then it’s time to pump the breaks. Thankfully, CSGO skins gambling are already in the process of closing its doors. Not everyone is going to be happy about it, but it’s necessary.
