Eh to each his own..I'm not much of a gambler but I have a friend that was super into Counterstrike esports and skin gambling. So now that scene is about to blow up.

To be fair, esports gambling has been a thing in the UK for ages, with the likes of Sky Bet having a surprisingly large range of bets on it. Kotaku did a really good article a few months ago explaining what's going on in that regard, and infrastructure against match fixing.
e-sports betting has been possible for ages on most gambling sites in Europe. Did that have any negative effect on matches? I doubt it, but willing to see actual facts.
Hey guys check out this cool gambling site I found! CSGOGamble! Let's all go on this site and have fun together. But don't forget to smash that like button.
Most esports leagues have zero tolerance. Some even retroactively ban players for life even though the rule didn't exist before that time.
They have it under control.
Gambling is a large part of why sports are so big in this country. Gambling already had a big impact on the CSGO scene with teams throwing over skin bets in the tens of thousands. It's inevitable but it's going to be an ugly start because unlike professional sports bribes are gonna look real good to a young guy who isn't making millions.
The pool of money is about to grow exponentially and our esports heroes arent exactly beacons of morality or particularly well regulated, so im fine speculating that fuckery will be happening.
