valve sent pic related to most known csgo betting sites 3 day's ago (including the one Phantomlord rigged w/ its owner), they're aiming to go after them for illegal gambling.
valve released an official statement on their website a week or so already, saying that they don't condone any misuse of their skins and shit as virtual currency (read: gambling currency) in any way shape or form. especially not for fucking MINORS (many steam users are still legally minors).
the problem for Phantomlord is this: should csgo gambling (as it looks atm) go down because it's essentially gambling for kids, then HE is guilty of rigging gambling.
if you're caught rigging gambling, you're facing jail time. now, if you're caught rigging ILLEGAL gambling, you're facing even more jail time. however, if you're caught rigging ILLEGAL gambling for KIDS, you're facing enough jail time to seriously consider getting a new haircut and passport.what do you think of this Sup Forums?
Profiting off of this by way of market transactions, and turning a blind eye to it until it entered the news cycle.

EX POST FACTO
Something done when it wasn't illegal doesn't make the person that did it guilty after it does become illegal
Jack Sullivan
phish food is the best flavor
Ryder Morris
>Deserts is the plural of desert, meaning "that which one deserves". "Desert" is now archaic and rarely used outside this phrase. >The spelling just desserts is non-standard. It is sometimes used as a pun in, for example, restaurant names.
Owen Butler
oh so it's just some autist trying to push a hot new meme

Nicholas Edwards
That flavor's hard to find in their area.

It has always been illegal to run an unlicensed online gambling ring. Valve are not lawmakers, they are not suddenly making anything illegal. They are reacting to this activity because they're lawyer(s) have advised them that they could be seen as complicit or even liable to some extent of they do not do something to prevent it.
But the activity the guy took part in is illegal now and has been since he started, so I have no fucking clue how you think Ex Post Facto figured into this at all.

Justin Baker
So it was a play on word? they sent them desserts, meaning ''desert'' as in ''desert your venture''?
Adam Davis
I'm disappointed it wasn't ice cream. But really that's all they're doing? A warning and slap on the wrist? So much for legal action.
Nicholas Russell

Carter Barnes
Couldn't they just block the sites from using their api?
Cameron Turner
Valve has no fucking right, they do the same thing selling crates and keys for their games.
>Hey look, if I buy this thing there's a CHANCE I MIGHT get something that's worth more than that thing >MOM, GIVE ME MONEY FOR THIS
Literally the same fucking thing, pot meet kettle.
Hunter Reed
What is EULA?
Noah Sanchez
Watch Valve actually follow through with this and destroy a huge chunk of the economy supporting their game and alienate another huge chunk of their player-base.
Tyler Moore

Valve is making bank with or without gamblers. Of course they're going to follow through and stop them so they don't get sued themselves.
Lincoln Jackson

Isaac Parker
You're right, we should ban gumball machines too.
Bentley Wilson
My argument is more along the lines of I think anti-gambling laws are stupid. If you have money, you should be able to spend it, and throw it away, as you please.
Wyatt Hughes

It's more about the fact that these sites allow children to participate in gambling as well. Gambling can be an issue because it's a game designed to be psychologically manipulative, and take advantage.
