Fake TF2 gambling sites
So a few minutes ago I talked to a guy who add me out the blue and asked me to help sponcer his tf2 gambling site. after a bit of back and forth he let it slip that he could make so I would win atleast three times a day. after telling him no for the third time he stoped communicating and unfriened me.

I know fake gambling site for games like TF2 and CS:GO arn't a new thing but I couldn't find a discusion page where I could post the link to the scam site so if he apporched others with the same offer they could look it up in the disscusion forums.

If theres an offical online site that dedecated to confirming whether or not a gambling site is a scam I would love to hear about it.

Seems like a scam to me. I'd suggest blocking the user. Also, I'm pretty sure Volvo did something about those gambling sites a few months back.

So instead of reporting this to Steam who will take legal action against it ...

You decided to post it on the public forums AND post a link to the malicious site in question for all to see.

You're not a very bright one.

Its pretty obvious it is a scam site considering how they operate. And by linking his site you're giving them exactly what they wanted originally, advertisement. By giving out the site link you're inadvertently helping them commit more scams.

Reporting the site will allow Valve to propperly investigate it and take legal action. Even if its not a scam (which it is) gambling sites are no longer allowed. Valve made sure of that.

Thats fine and all, but fact is Scam sites exist. A lot of us already know about them.

And as it stands, there is no more legit Gambling sites for TF2/Valve games. Due to the fiasco the few legit ones caused, Valve sued them and shut them down. So any that pop up now are either a scam, or doomed to be shut down when Valve sues them.

So your question to see if there is a way to tell if a Gambling site for Steam is legit or not, the answer is no. None of them are legit. And you will likely be banned if Valve catches you even using one that is legit as for it is against their ToS to even operate a gambling site now.

Due to this, I might just go and make a legit gambling site for tf2

And who says there can't be an actual gambling site?

Valve.
