Before you buy another CS case, watch this
Something from Coffeezilla. Maybe it helps some of you quit. He did a 3 part investigation into some multi billion CSGO casino cases.

So? All coffezilla exposed in his 3 part 'documentary' is that:
1) gambling bad
2) shady offshore casinos are evil

It's nothing the community didn't know. Now I go open a few cases.
you AMERICANS should soon come back to the point to put the brain ON, think own and take over your OWN responsibility TO YOURSELF. .... AFterwards, you should not need that kind of problems kept in one video, like this here.

Short said: If you are able to think by your own, you neither need to rage of that gaym, like it is, like it ever was. listen to E.Kant!

The fraud is, that casinos are regulated and everyone has to proof their age. Expect in this game because they bypass the guidelines and laws.

There's no guidelines or laws for opening lootboxes in most countries. Valve is also legally compliant with the few that have them regulated.

What's the difference between opening a lootbox and opening a pack of pokemon/yugioh/magic, etc. trading cards? Both of them have items that sell for real money, have rare/common items, and neither are regulated. Should trading cards only be sold to people over the age of 18?

Maybe parents should actually parent their children instead of letting the internet raise them or demand that the government raise their children for them.

You pay to take odds on a desirable result. That's gambling.

Just because there's nothing in a prize pool to say there's a complete loss, doesn't make it any less so I'm afraid. I know of gambling rackets that offer cashback on every spin.

"Hey, you might not win big on our slots but hey we're kind enough to give you a small portion of what's spent on each spin back as a prize. Aren't we kind? You win every time!"

It's a predatory psychological tool. Much like what's often exposed in these documentaries. If anything I find these more nefarious than gambling scenarios where there's a risk of getting ZERO. Because at least in that instance there's a shock. An incentive to quit with minimal loss.

If there's always a reward that is lower value than what was spent, (and there is always going to be a deficit somewhere because otherwise these rackets wouldn't be profitable), it just gives incentive to people in spending more and fools them into thinking that the end result isn't that bad, or was close to winning big. Because they got something .

Wouldnt that make trading cards illegal, like pokemon cards? Or those quarter machines that give little trinkets? But alas they are not gambling. A mystery prize in a cereal box, is that gambling?

Why would you buy any case when you can get free one for just playing the game and sell it on market ?
Also , you are late for more than a decade to complain about microtransactions ...

It's not gambling, because you can't directly cash out.
Stop spreading misinformation.
