scam website csgo.run
well i am just starting this because i want you guys to know that this site is scam. For some reason noone else is talking about it, but after depositing skins to this website in order to be able to withdraw skins from their market, the website wants you to deposit even more than before. After reopening your browser you will get linked to google when trying to go to "csgo.run" again. Further they have Bot-accounts on Steam trying to advertise for their site in your profile comments and automatically delete the comments after you got scammed/visited their site (which is in some way the same thing). Im glad i didnt deposit anything of worth but looking to their steam bot's (https://steamcommunity.com/id/HJ4sRia0YRRpr) inventory apparently some guys did.

Because all of them are scams. There are a dozen new ones each day, so no wonder no one is talking about the newly created ones.

Hell, it has been a cool year since tmartn and psysyndicate got outed for their scam and people are still flocking to those sties ...

Well if you like to warn people from scam pages, then you really should remove the advertise from your name.

well im currently testing some sites out, (csgo.run was one of them)so about 15 mins ago i tried ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, which seems to be better than many others but is probably still scam. Obviously i dont want to advertise for anything.

Your name says otherwise, it makes you look like a random cs player, that is advertising a scam page.

All you have to do is go on a site and ask them for their gambling licence information. If they don't have this (which none of them do) then it's a scam. The ones that require a deposit are somewhat blatant too.

Can't believe people are still falling for these.

well there were 800 players online for some reason and i tried chatting with them to see if they are bots...they were not. So i asked them about the withdrawing system of the site and they gave me individual answers about it. I really dont know how its possible for them (if they are not any kind of no-life admins) but some ppl seemed to use this site more often than it was possible for me. Well i am aware that i should have checked deeper into this topic and asked some more precise questions, but i just expected is to be legit cuz so many guys used their chat and talked about the withdrawal of their skins. I have never done any gambling or roulette or idk what thing before so i didnt really know about the methods being used to scam people like me.

Have you ever heard of libel? If you are trying to damage your competitors, you may be facing a serious fine.

already changed. Anyways, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is probably not scam but still nearly everyone there gets broke over time. I guess i do best by not thinking about sites like those again. May some poor guys read this before they fall for it.

You don`t get it, the page in your name is a scam page, its a not a legal page, there exist no legal gambling page, Valve doesn`t support them, and when you check the impressum from this scam pages, you will be surprised.

no "contract"=no competitor? Teach me if im wrong.
(i didnt claim any kind of reward for it, so in my opinion im free to do what i want as long as i dont try to damage their image, which was not my purpose in any way.)

Well the "impressum" is pretty unprecise but according to what they wrote there, they are simply not associated with valve, which doesnt mean that their site is illegal. "LAW AND JURISDICTION
These Terms of Service will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the European Union, and any disputes relating to these terms and conditions will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of European Union."
Anyways as mentioned above, those sites are part of the past for myself. I hope noone else comes to the point of signing up to them.
Thanks for showing me where i was about to get into.

The problem with those sites is that the gambling mechanism can be altered and directly influenced by the people with access to the backend. There is also a common advertisment method where some "admin" of such a site will get in contact with you and openly admit gaming the system by offering you a guarantee to win.
Of course you still won't be able to withdraw your winnings until you deposit something.

There is also no way to know whether the accounts you play against are real. It's easy to pair you with some fake accounts if you bet some expensive skins and make you lose. Or with someone who hasn't made a deposit yet so they get the big pot and tell others how they totally won on there.

Real gambling sites are governed by a regulatory body to counter exactly that. If they break the rules, they'll lose the license and pay hefty fines. No such thing for skin betting sites.
Also any site that allows any user depsite their age to gamble is illegal.
