Two prominent gaming creators on YouTube allegedly promoted a gambling website on their channels without revealing that they owned the site. This revelation -- involving The Syndicate Project, or Tom Cassell, who has nearly 10 million subscribers, and TmarTn, or Trevor Martin, with more than 3 million subscribers -- was made in a new video by h3h3Productions, a channel that often provides commentary on site-wide goings-on.
Cassell and Martin’s gambling site, called Csgo Lotto, operates within an increasingly popular online gambling realm centered upon the popular first-person shooter game Counter Strike: Global Offensive. Skin betting, as the practice is called, eludes a legal loophole that lets young people gamble on the outcome of Counter Strike matches with skins (or weapon accessories) that can be bought and sold for actual money. Skin betting has become a booming business, according to Bloomberg: In 2015, 3 million people wagered $2.3 billion in skins.
