CS:GO Gambling Controversy by SassyRiolu

Over these past few days a lot of controversy has been surrounding Counter Strike gambling, and even Counter strike as a whole. This whole circle jerk started with a video that Ethan from h3h3productions posted in which he discussed the whole gambling aspect that comes with the game.

While I do agree with him on most of his points, it doesn't stop me from giving my two cents on the matter. I've watched the videos 3 times and there is some information that Ethan missed, which is embarrassing considering he actually plays the game himself.

NOTE, I RECOMMEND YOU WATCH H3H3'S VIDEO ON THE MATTER AT HAND BEFORE RESPONDING.

In the video, Ethan states that it's time consuming to actually get into gambling. Don't get me wrong, most forms of gambling is super bad and illegal...probably. However he says that you have to pay actual money to open cases to then get skins to trade to the gambling websites. Like I mentioned earlier you can clearly see what he missed. What Ethan didn't mention in his video is that you can get in game case drops. Yes, I am aware most crates are worth 3 cents but the newer cases are always expencive, meaning you could spend literally nothing on the game and still have enough to bet with. On top of that, you don't actually need crates to get skins. You can get them from weekly drops and giveaways.

Not Everyone is guilty!

A lot of other YouTubers that focus on CSGO gambling, such as Zurii, McSkillet and SkinFreak have been getting caught in this circlejerk because of Ethan's video and the whole Tmartn scandal. People have been accusing them for promoting gambling to minors when in reality it's far from the truth. Today, I asked Zurii on Twitter (@de_zurii) if he could send me a screenshot of his channel's viewer base analytics. These were the results.

As you can see, most of his fans are above the age of 18. It means that of those that watch his content, most are already allowed to bet and gamble. Unfortunately I couldn't get McSkillet's and SkinFreak's attention so I guess this will have to do.

My Opinion.

From my prospective, there is no problem with gambling as long as you're aware of the odds. I have personally gambled in the past with Promo codes and I managed to win this M4A4 skin.

So in conclusion. Don't bet if you're underage, and stick to just playing the game.
