Steamer Reveals: CS:GO Gambling Sites Can be Rigged (Video)
The reaction on YouTube, Reddit and elsewhere make it abundantly clear that what Trevor "TmarTn" Martin and Tom "Syndicate" Cassell had done was wrong.
And what these two individuals have done has headlined gambling news worldwide.
TmarTn and Syndicate, as they are best known in the eGaming community, came under fire this Fourth of July holiday weekend for failing to reveal their ownership interests in Counter-Strike: GO gambling website CS:GO Lotto.
Tom Phillips of EuroGamer.net writes: “Others went further, and pointed to the decidedly grey-area legal status of the situation as evidence of unlawful actions.”
22-year-old British streamer Lewis "PsiSyndicate" Stewart revealed Tuesday that gambling sites like CS:GO Lotto can easily be manipulated by their owners to give YouTubers an unfair advantage. Stewart confessed that two of his earlier videos had been “rigged”.
From EuroGamer.net:
Stewart was left with rare items such as the Medusa and Dragon Lore guns worth $3200 - although he has said that he has since given most of it away after feeling guilty for what he'd done.
"This idea was brought to me by Steam Lotto, they proposes [sic] rigging in return for a Dragon Lore, I just fell right into it. The total takings were $3200 in skins," he explained.
"Everything I gained from videos I gave away to prove to people it wasn't rigged... but it was. I'm not saying I'm an angel," he continued, "I'm not. I am only human."
