99.999% of gamblers quit before hitting big.

I started playing csgo in 2014 when I was 14 years old and I never really thought about how exposed to gambling I was as a kid.
Good thing I was poor so I couldn't get addicted

When I was 15 I bet 35 dollars and ended up peaking at 1.8k, I ended up losing it all in the end thinking I could be a skinillionare, one of my biggest regrets

I'm actually glad I learned my lesson young. it was only $300, but now I know gambling is bad. If I had to learn that lesson as an adult, it could have potentially cost me thousands.

The most important reason why CSGO skins became so expensive is third party trading sites .. no one would buy a dragon lore for 14000 dollars on the damn steam market . And the gambling sites wouldn't exist in such a scenario .

CSGO skins .. valve's cases  .. third party sites .. gambling sites .. all are working together like a fine mechanism to keep the entire thing running .

most gamblers are 1 bet away from gazillion dollars win

There is literally no difference between online gambling casinos and the in-game CS:GO cases lol and if anything a regular kid will most likely just go buy a paysafecard and open official CS:GO cases he got from Valve instead of going to some random ass gambling website, at least at first. Valve would also never even state the odds of receiving rare special item if Chinese government didn't force them lmao (and I mean, they still don't show it in-game anyway)

It's insane that this is still legal. Fortunately I was in my mid 20s when these sites came out so I was a little more aware of the dangers of gambling but it's horrifying to think of children losing tens of thousands of dollars on gambling

this is all relatable tbh, i remember being 15 and having a karambit fade (dream knife), karambit marble fade, bayonet fade and several other high tier skins, i gambled them all on csgowild, won a medusa and dragon lore and some other mid tier knives, then lost it all within 2 minutes while at school. i felt so sick

I can really relate to this video. I started doing csgo/rust gambling when I was 12. It all started when a friend of mine told me about a site where i could earn more skins with the skins I have. I was so clueless and didn't really even know what gambling was. I started with my 20 dollar inventory than won 50 bucks. The adrenaline rush from that win exploded me to gamble thousands more over the years. I finally confessed to my parents about it after I won 1300 dollars on one bet and cashed out. I really think that there needs to be A LOT more awareness towards this community. I don't think I will ever not feel that adrenaline rush from winning a bet. And I really do blame these sites for sprouting that in me.

Trust me you will win just keep gambling

I can still remember when valve added the 7 day trade cooldown every csgo site involving skins were in utter chaos like it was ultimately opskins downfall but in the end the marketplaces adapted while gambling sites now just showcase the withdrawable skins on their website and move about with their days.

We love your vids since your not a sellout, and actually care about what you do.

i remember spending every single skin i got, worth either cents, sometimes dollars, on csgo lounge. i was like.. 15? 16 maybe? in total i think i lost something like $600? it could be way more now, since some skins were pretty rare or went in price like crazy. for me, at that age - this money was everything. i stopped a few years ago and im afraid i might get there again.

the example at 45:00 is what activision was just caught doing if anyone was curious. They are also giving discounts to newer players with less cod points in their account rather than vets who might have more cod points in the account and spend more. Absolutely disgusting

I live a 30min drive from Valve in Bellevue, I visited the office a few years back for a tour. It is a very chilled out calm place and everyone does seem free in what there goals are. My stepdad is friends with a few of their employees and he tells me that they are frustrated in how things will just not get done because organizing a project is difficult when you are working with a bunch of free spirited individuals.

2 years on, and nothing has changed

The biggest gamble in csgo is really the matchmaking teamates you are getting

holy shit the battlefield heroes drop caught me off-guard. Huge part of my teenage years as well.

i do appricate that it seems ohne is a honest streamer its of the only reasons i trust his sponsors
