The only thing the letter says is "S-stop using bots for your site or we'll ban your accounts!"
Literally every game has problems with bots and literally every game has threatened at various points to sue/kill/rape/murder the bots that use their game. But lo and behold, bots haven't gone anywhere. For every account you ban 5 more can be created easily

gogurts i wanna go of this train
Isaac Bennett
Everybody's cheating, why do you still watch this game
Nathan Brown
game has never been more alive desu
maybe I'll be able to watch some streamers on twitch again because they'll actually be playing the game instead of gambling
Lincoln Peterson
bots in other games don't run businesses which leave huge amounts of skins and use available APIs
it's not the same at all
Adrian James
that op gets smaller and smaller, just like the playerbase :^)
Ryder Phillips
Don't they have to whitelist the bots or something? So they don't have to wait 3 days to trade?
Dominic Long
yes it will, read the letter :)
csgolounge relies on valve not banning their bots and API use
Ian Brown
>What are gold farming bots
Yeah surely poor Valve is the only one to ever deal with people profiting off of exploits in their trade system.
Zachary Sanchez
bots who read/write game memory to farm and don't use skins to trade via API
you need mobile authentication for steam my man :)
Owen Gomez
>Valve actually did it
Lmao what fucking morons. The whole scene is going to die.
Lucas Smith
good betting scene is not a gaming scene
dota 2 doesn't have it, lol doesn't have it, fgc doesn't have it
Thomas Turner
>gaming community hey reddo
Liam Edwards
>muh gaming scene
Lmao glhf getting any updates to this dead fucking game
Hunter Torres
dota lol csgo and starcraft all have betting scenes (idk what fgc is) there literally is a dota2lounge and almost all sportsbooks offer esports as annoying as bettors can be, lots of communities thrive off them. not even just csgo, or esports, but actual sports too. overall betting is good for the game
Parker Torres
All of those games you listed have betting.
The only thing they didn't have was stupid fucking 13 year olds crying about "Muh unregulated betting"
Luis Kelly
dota2lounge is laughably small (due to items as well) and all those games do not have a gambling scene, a normal gambling site that covers VARIETY of sports adding it does not make it have a scene like in csgo.
in csgo you had casters having gambling sites specifically for csgo, remember ezkins :)
thats like 5 videos in 24 hours the absolute madman
Julian Jenkins
All those games also receive support from their parent company. Riot exerts full control over the pro LOL scene.
CSGO has none of those. The Majors have a laughably bad prize pool and simply put it won't be worth it for tournaments to exist or for smaller orgs to sponsor team.
So congrats, you killed the entire scene save for a few teams/tournaments. But hey, at least Fucktard Franky can't ask mom for her credit card and blow 500 dollars being a retard.
Connor Diaz
valve directly pays for Majors my man
those gambling sites don't fund anything
Noah Gomez
longue is dead
skin betting on matches is dead
venture capital and sponsor money will shrink as viewership plummets
enjoy your 300k viewer "majors" gotards
Cooper Scott
>dazed having an autism fit because he knows he's going to get caught having done something shady
Hudson Johnson
VC's is not real money anyway
better have real sponsors instead of sharks
Jaxon Rogers
You completely missed everything I said. The prize pool for majors is jack fucking shit. And without smaller tournaments to keep them alive there's no reason for the majority of the CSGO esports scene to exist.
You can be a bad League team and still be drowning in sponsors/money because the scene is small, controlled, and gets massive exposure.
CSGO has none of those things. Gambling sites helped with exposure, and propped up smaller teams/tournaments that allowed the scene to thrive.
But go ahead and have fun with those majors. I'm sure they'll have reasonably as many viewers.
Carson Rogers
so? still better than Insurgency and that's my only alternative to CS
no, go f**k yourself with OW
Nathan Garcia
moron
Liam Bailey
valve also sponsors the minors :)
Aiden Nelson
muh VCs
Leo Harris
can we all agree that reddit is the reason all of these sites are going down and that reddit also ruins everything in general
Benjamin Adams
>csgoatse
Benjamin Ramirez
sites are going down due to the lawsuit at valve, so valve had to take action before the court date
Zachary Evans
someone go buy my skins :]
David Richardson
gotze
Landon Barnes
Wow. Well I stand corrected than thanks :)
Have fun with your gaming scene surviving when its prize pool for tournaments is already laughably bad compared to other eSports and Valve just killed its viewership.
Owen Johnson
>karl quakenbush
lmao
Colton Kelly
more like karl cuckenbush
lmao
Austin Diaz
valve sponsors all of the dota 2 scene as well my man
Josiah Martinez
Even Richard Lewis recognizes CSGL going down is bad and catastrophic for the game/scene.
But hf dancing in the streets reddit. You sure saved irresponsible fucktards from being irresponsible until they find the next opportunity.
Grayson Long
feels good nigga fk lounge
Caleb Williams
>An 18million+ prize pool is the same as a prize pool of 1 million
Anthony Hill
And this time last year with gambling, the prize pool didn't change as well
gambling doesn't do anything except fund the owners

Logan Rogers
keep redd*t posting
Parker Flores
Why are you venting here and who are you raging at exactly? You think anyone here or on Reddit has anything to do with this? retard
Josiah Russell
>tfw you realize that someone somewhere trusted a CS:GO skins gambling site titled "csgoatse.com" with their hard earned cash
What has this world come to
Ryan Morgan
Betting on matches isn't the same as a grey market for gambling skins, ya dingus
Christian Jenkins
>csgoatse actually exists Holy fuk
Jayden Butler
It's the site's fault. Why should anyone have to be accountable for their decision making?
Carson White
yeah it is considering that online gambling isn't allowed in the US all the sportsbook/casino/poker sites i bet on are unregulated, just like all the csgo gambling sites
Jason Reyes
Euro betting sites do not actually let US citizens play
Liam Sanchez
>csgoatse
Josiah Campbell

lmao I've never given a fuck about this gambling shit but that site looks professional as fuck, they must've gotten dosh
Because 13 year old kids are stealing their parents credits cards to gamble their CS:GO skins because some youtuber faggot told them they would be millionaires
I guess
Ethan Lee
they require proof of ID when you withdraw and some even block US IPs as well
Ryder Butler
PL is banned
Jackson Foster
eachfags on suicide watch
Nathaniel Williams
There's like half a million gambling sites that aren't being shut down. This is pointless.
Grayson Walker
they are being sent in waves so they can monitor them, would be stupid to have a huge ass list at once
it is gambling after all, they would've been screwed in the lawsuit court date
Alexander Foster
>tfw the next major has like half as many viewers
I don't even care, I'm glad this happened even if it might shaken up the scene. You gamblecucks need help
Colton Peterson
same lounge was good for csgo imo there were tons of people betting on every game which drove up the amount of viewers for every game all these shady fuccboi coin flip sites ruined it the funny thing is that idiots like phantoml0rd and other """"famous"""" streamers that owned sites still could have made a shit ton of money if they just admitted that they were owners from the beginning and advertised it on their streams instead of being fraudulent
Austin Lewis
Matthew Bailey @Cyborgmatt 55m55 minutes ago
This letter has also been sent to a number of other similar sites that fall under the same category which weren't included in this list.
Cameron Jackson
csgolounge can continue, they just need to use real payments
which means they have to a secure payment gateway and non-US only :)
Samuel Bailey
>all these shady fuccboi coin flip sites ruined it
seriously, fuck all of those streamers/CODfags. especially the CODfags, like stay out of the CS scene and stick to that shitty esport
Caleb Watson
>tfw you play roulette for skins inside of a man's gaping asshole
Based csgoatse
Jack Green
csgolounge could probably still take US bettors if they wanted, but they would obviously have to use real $$$ and not skins afaik the site itself is fine, its just the steam bots that have to be removed
Jose Ward
I don't give a shit about this gambling shit, I just want the cheaters to be exposed and banned already. Preferably live on stream at a LAN, that would be glorious.
they would risk their entire business again if they allow US players
Oliver Lee
>lounge going to die
:(
Charles Campbell
Some of those cowadooty faggots like Syndicate and Rain transcended e-celebrity status to the point of not even having to play video games anymore, they can just make fucking vlog clips showcasing their lavish adventurous lifestyle and get fucking millions of views. It's actually insane
Evan Walker
So what's the premier trading site for CS:GO now that lounge is being shut down?
Jordan Diaz
lol
Brandon Bennett
Lounge is just going to shut down their betting side judging from the C&D letter
Thomas Edwards
>they can just make fucking vlog clips showcasing their lavish adventurous lifestyle and get fucking millions of views. It's actually insane i mean, if they got all of that shit from doing COD shit that's fine, but its another thing to think they got all that good shit from this shady shit
Brandon Wright
that's what's going to happen when there's a (potetntially) billion dollar untapped market. if you really think about how much money was going into skin gambling every month, its insane. the skin gambling market is like 100x bigger than the skin market itself. Valve is making a shit ton off selling keys and taking a percentage of all csgo steam market sale, but gambling site owners are probably making more than them. it actually kind of baffles my mind to think about how much money is involved.
same thing happened to online poker in the US in 2011. Full Tilt Poker was the best online poker site, making tons of money, ran by 2 older guys. The site was extremely trustworthy and literally every pro played on it. Turned out that they were running a ponzi scheme for something around 700 mil iirc and ruined the entire game for everyone
Christian Jackson
KEK
Zachary Sanchez
Anybody got a link to where I can watch the steam market value crash in real time?
I always get a massive boner watching millions of potential dollars go down the drain and nothing beats the feeling of jacking off to the tears of thousands of people losing all their money because they didn't know when to pull out.
Ethan Miller
shit why isn't this a thing, surely someone made a site for the steam market like real markets
Thomas James

If the answer is peek long, congratulations, you have zero fucking game sense.
