Is this about the CSGO gambling sites? It's not precised in the article which game was used.
[QUOTE=_Axel;51059833]Is this about the CSGO gambling sites? It's not precised in the article which game was used.[/QUOTE] Don't think so. CSGOLotto was the main one that started controversy, ran by Tom Cassell (Syndicate) and Trevor Martin (Tmartn). Article says "Dylan Rigby and Craig Douglas from Essex"
what happened with syndicate and tmartn?, probably nothing I assume but still
[QUOTE=Chains!;51059881]Don't think so. CSGOLotto was the main one that started controversy, ran by Tom Cassell (Syndicate) and Trevor Martin (Tmartn). Article says "Dylan Rigby and Craig Douglas from Essex"[/QUOTE] Considering how many were involved with the CSGO gambling scene, it isn't surprising that two from Essex decided to take their crack on it. [editline]16th September 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=SoUl_ReApEr2;51059888]what happened with syndicate and tmartn?, probably nothing I assume but still[/QUOTE] A big lawsuit is taking place after merging several small cases to make a big case towards Valve, CSGOLotto, CSGOShuffle and others. Probably won't go anywhere though. Though its noteworthy to say that the main lawyer for the case behind the lawsuit is the same that was behind the Fanduel and DraftKings lawsuit that managed to make the state of New York enact a bill that creates "Fantasy Sports Contests Division" to promote regulations for fantasy esports. Basically making it the same as regulated gambling. Tmartn seems to've moved into normal gambling now as an affliate of a up and coming gambling platform called United Games.
Yet those 2 YouTubers are fine despite doing the exact same thing plus some other crimes, I'm guessing it's because they're rich and famous, and rich and famous people can't be charged with anything ever.
Thought I recoginized the name. Craig Douglas is the FIFA Youtuber Nepenthez. [media]https://twitter.com/NepentheZ/status/776772563011768324[/media] [editline]16th September 2016[/editline] [media]https://twitter.com/NepentheZ/status/776774511467360256[/media]

Yeah, I have no clue that was even possible. But, it seems like it. (You could bet on Twitch matches and you could open packs on the site) The site was Futgalaxy.com. Too bad they should've realized that UK has some of the strictest Gambling acts in the world and is therefore not a place to do something like that.
