The Valve Corporation took action and blocked several accounts belonging to traders who were involved in activities on the CSGORoll roulette. This information was disclosed by the administrator of another roulette, CSGOEmpire, who lodged a complaint with the developer, pointing out the illegal activity of the owners of these accounts.

What is CSGORoll?

CSGORoll is a gambling site specializing in Counter-Strike skins. It allows users to play various games with the aim of winning skins.

The working mechanism of CSGORoll is similar to many other online gambling sites. Users can deposit their skins on the site and exchange them for coins, which are then used to place bets in the games offered on the platform. The results of these games are randomly determined, and players have a chance to win additional coins or skins.

Coins earned on CSGORoll can be used to purchase skins available on the site. Users are given the opportunity to choose the skins they like and use their coins to buy them. In addition, there is the option to withdraw won skins from the platform.

Money Laundering Scheme

According to an investigation conducted by the CSGOEmpire administrator, the accounts they pointed out were used to conduct money laundering operations in excess of $12 million. Although CSGORoll did not formally offer the option to withdraw funds through cryptocurrencies, this option was available to a limited number of users who entered into non-disclosure agreements.

The CSGOEmpire administrator noted that such actions are a violation of US law, in which CSGORoll has legal permission to operate. Also, the source of the leaked information reported that competitors promised to disclose his address in public access if he publishes a list of traders violating the law.

CSGORoll advertises itself as a marketplace without crypto cashouts and it operates in the United States. In reality, crypto withdrawals are enabled, money is laundered through Killian's holding company, and traders involved keep quiet to keep their millions flowing.

Banned Accounts

A few hours after the publication of accusations against several traders, Valve took action and blocked the accounts. The blocked accounts contained various assets, including CS:GO skins, the total value of which amounted to $3 million.

Account blocking and asset confiscation are serious measures employed by Valve to maintain security. In this case, the trader's ban led to the loss of access to assets and significant financial losses.

Other dubious stories associated with CSGORoll

Previously, CSGORoll was blocked by the authorities in Australia. The regulator found that the company was offering illegal interactive gambling services. In March, the country's authorities sent a warning to the site owners, demanding the removal of functionality that violates the law, but no response followed.

During the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 for CS:GO, there was a protest incident against CSGORoll. One of the arena visitors staged a protest, sticking his hand to a slot machine that allows gambling using skins. The man accused the site of fraud and claimed that because of this company he lost his home. Security quickly intervened and pulled the disgruntled visitor away from the machine to the applause of the other spectators waiting for their turn.

Conclusion

CSGORoll and CSGOEmpire are two popular gambling sites that specialize in exchanging and betting on skins in CS:GO. In the past two months, these two platforms have been drawn into an information war, manifested in competitive and aggressive marketing strategies.

In their attempts to attract more users and strengthen their position in the market, CSGORoll and CSGOEmpire actively interact on social networks, forums, and other platforms. They post challenging and provocative messages, attack each other, and try to discredit the competitor.

Ultimately, users need to be informed and cautious when deciding on a platform for gambling and skin exchange. It is important to pay attention to security, licenses, reputation, and reviews from other players in order to make an informed choice.
