In context, what is the "do as i say, not as i do" bit even referring to? I don't get it.

Because he wasn't honest.

So don't do as he did, do as he says, i.e be honest in the first place.

Still while a 12 year old will lap up his words, he'll need more than that or a "I'm sorry" video on Youtube if he does face legal action.

Those videos where they rig it so they win like hundreds/thousands of dollars worth of skins, surely that's fraud/theft since other people would have put their skins in that pot as well under the belief that the roulette wheel wasn't rigged? Isn't that how it works?

Also at 7:52 he says "Dude I think cuz I'm an admin on the site, they modded me, I think it messes up my timers". THEY modded you? You mean you modded yourself? Cuz you own the site? lol

"This is straight gambling! We were playing and quadrupling our money, NO! Reality sets in. ('Yeah, we are getting crushed.') That's my first loss, it hurts a little bit. ('Really?') LOLOLOL!".

well they did the absolute minimum people would expect for this one particular thing that was causing a lot of noise today.

They'll continue enabling this behaviour and skimming the profits off their underage gambling empire.

Looks like he's even disabled comments now too.

I wonder if he'll do a "Sam Pepper" and remove or make all his videos private too.

Can someone explain what is going on in the gif?

He was logged in as a csgo bot. How would he have access to that on a site he "found".

Getting even deeper, it's likely that as the owner and creator of the site he had access to the backend and therefore the results.

I know jack shit about laws, but shouldn't it be straight up forbidden (illegal) to gamble on a site/casino that you work in/own ? The dude on the refers to it as shady, but it certainly should be more than that.

Also fuck the dudes trying to cover it up.

100%

Casinos are under very tight regulation to monitor and report their winnings. They'd be fucked if they grifted people like this.

Just catching up on this. Regardless of who owns it, how are these CSGO gambling sites allowed to exist? Are they registered overseas?

Watching that video, all I'm seeing is that CS:GO Skin websites and accounts affiliated with these websites are winning. Some prefer Paypal and Bitcoin, and must be a great way of getting away with paying taxes on this.

Added the CSGoLotto site to be a phishing scam with the in-steam Browser. You can still get to it in Steam bypassing the phishing block or with Chrome, but it's a good start.

I have no idea why Valve doesn't block the ease-to-find bot names based on the name template showed in the video.

Thanks for the picture. It's a start, but if anything, it helps Valve remove themselves from this (or try to anyways).

fwiw, I curated my post a bit.

I edited to include the additional information. I'm still on mobile so please let me know if I missed or inaccurately worded information.

Echoing what others have been saying it doesn't sound like ProSyndicate is getting as much attention as Tmartn; isn't ProSyndicate a larger channel?
