The past few months have seen a meaningful surge in coverage surrounding the betting side of the esports industry, and it hasn’t been pretty.

This article, coupled with a public scandal involving the skin betting site CSGO Diamonds, helped spur a class action suit against Valve. Then two weeks ago, a video from prominent YouTuber h3h3Productions helped shed light on a wide array of issues, including potential fraud, related to the prominent betting site CSGO Lotto.
