Valve Sends Out Cease And Desist Order To Gambling Websites
These gambling websites have gained a lot of popularity recently, with popular Youtubers such as TheSyndicateProject and TmarTn, owning their own websites and making thousands of dollars through them. Valve has been a victim of several lawsuits, due to these websites.
A CS:GO player, Michael John McLeod, filed a lawsuit against Valve, claiming that they allow and support these websites to illegally gamble in-game items and earn profit from them. McLeod said that Valve sponsors these websites and allows millions of Americans to “link their individual Steam accounts to third- party websites”.
Today, Valve finally took action against these gambling websites by sending out a cease and desist order to all the gambling websites listed in the image below, taken from ValveTime on twitter:
The list includes CS:GO as well as DotA 2 gambling sites which are violating the SSA (Steam Subscriber Agreement). If you are a user of these websites, then you should claim your items immediately. Several other sites that are not listed in the image above, have also been warned and have been order to cease and desist.

They should keep csgo lounge in my opinion. They should figure out a way to block younger users. The other sites can be easily rigged.

These sites are mostly still running too, but I'm pretty sure they're gonna dump the skins to a new account, and continue doing it anyway probably

I really liked gambling my skins (yes, I am of proper age to do so). Don't get me wrong, if you're under the age you shouldn't gamble but everyone shouldn't have to be thrown under the bus. At least their doing something though.
