After we already established that Roobet is a shady gambling site and condemned Astralis for being sponsored by them, HLTV has now partnered with them

Almost every football team in the world has a partnership with a casino. Grow up.

The Saudis are living rent free in so many heads. Unfortunate because they could afford to pay that rent.

Reddit is super delusional when it comes to things like this.

Conflict of interest is bad though

Is WePlay shady ? Isn’t it just a TO ?

How is weplay shady?

Don’t forget the skin gambling sites

Are people not aware that HLTV is literally owned by Better Collective, which owns numerous betting sites?

Ones that actually comply with gaming laws and aren’t offshore crypto casinos with no oversight?

I don’t like how dominant gambling is but Roobet is a lot more shady than like Betway or something.

pinnacle. You can actually be a winning player on that site and they won’t limit you. Every other prefer bookmaker prefers degenerate gamblers to winning players.

I’d go even further, Valve directly enables children to gamble and as such is shady too

With that attitude, none.

I hear this sentence

Exactly, plus it’s literally free money. It’s surely big bucks as well considering it’s a betting site and how much traction hltv gets. OP would most likely even take an offer from a betting site if he was offered a lot of money.

Make sure you don’t offend the blue haired he/hims before cashing in that big check.

It’s not even that they have to figure anything out for that, they can literally just copy r6 siege, attack/defense, you plant a defuser not a bomb, lore wise it’s a training simulator. Done

Every. Football. Team. On. Earth. Is. Sponsored. By. A. Casino. Who the fuck cares.

that the T and CT bs is problematic is on you NA and NA alone so dont act like its the games fault.

You’re talking like overwatch and league don’t get backed by their developer, and the easy fix wouldn’t be valve doing just the same.

Which even if they did, why would they invest in hltv anyway?

Almost every tier 1 esport has taken or currently takes shitty, shady or unethical sponsor deals. Either that or they are owned by companies that are.
