The popular social media video streaming website Twitch has shut down a channel belonging to eSports star James Varga (aka Phantom0rd) amidst allegations he had undisclosed ownership interest in CS:GO online gambling skin CSGO Shuffle and regularly rigged the odds in his favor.
Richard Lewis of the DailyDot combed through some 1800 hacked Skype messages between Varga and CSGO Shuffle coder Duhau Joris whereby the two appeared to be involved in a conspiracy to rig the site.
Twitch recently confirmed it would no longer permit Gambling websites that utilized Steam’s OpenID API, stating this was a breach of their Terms of Service.
