Valve cracks down on Team Fortress 2 gambling
Like a game of whack-a-mole, it seems as soon as Valve finished sweeping away the last remnants of the legally dubious CS:GO gambling websites more popped up allowing users to gamble using their valuable in-game items from Team Fortress to get their fix instead. Valve has now issued a statement as an advance warning that they plan to crack down on this, too.
“In July of last year we outlined our position on gambling web sites, specifically noting that Valve has no business relationship with these sites. At that time we also began blocking many CSGO gambling accounts,” the company said on the official Team Fortress website.
“More recently, some gambling web sites started leveraging TF2 items. Today we began the process of blocking TF2 gambling accounts as well. We recommend you don’t trade with these sites.”
Valve is presumably putting out the warning to ensure that players have a chance to give up on the gambling scene, in turn dodging an account ban. Those who continue will no doubt end up under Gabe’s hammer.
