10 thoughts on “Gambling: Now For Kids!”

1. Genshin Impact is a massive gambling game !

2. It is legal in Alaska to have home poker games as long as the host does not run a business off of it (i.e., I can't charge a "cover" or a fee to enter the game). The host can play in the game and win money of course, but as long as I'm not charging a fee to play, it's legal.

3. the csgo major really gets these kids into it with the whole picking of the teams in brackets, this game will actually GIVE you the cases but you have to pay to open them, so loveing predatory. you can sell it on the steam market but you cannot even get your cash back from the steam market, once its on steam it stays for eternity.

   video games have easily become the gateway to underage gambling and its happening right in our own living rooms, loveing disgusting. the external sites will ALWAYS be good got the host game, the host game is getting the initial "buy in" from the consumer so they are making their money. the more people promote the gambling sites the more people that will make an account for theie game. its too easy win/win for csgo and roblox, why would they stop a revenue stream? thats just bad business.

4. I actually worked with a guy who lost his house to gambling debt

5. Now just give them loot boxes

6. The thing that got me most about that video is just how much people have spent on CS:GO. After looking in the comments on the second video where he showed how to check how much money you've spent on CS:GO alone I was blown away by the numbers people were sharing. I saw one person who said that they had spent $60,000 on CS:GO alone. That's enough to buy three brand new cars. These games are so incredibly predatory and as someone who has played both slot machines and has thrown a few dollars at CS:GO cases before (I checked, it was like $60 for my account), it's so obvious that these mechanisms are one in the same. Honestly, I blame Valve. They allow people to sell skins for real money, and this is turning it from "Cosmetics lol" into an actual, legitimate slot machine. I genuinely cannot understand how regulators have not stepped in and taken action against this, especially when these sorts of games are sometimes played by kids. These companies, all companies that offer and allow loot boxes on their platforms, have got to know what they're doing. They are 100% aware of the issues. They are 100% aware that this is causing problems and I guarantee they're not going to stop any time soon. The money is too great.

7. Now? Always has been

8. Reminds me of "Kid Beer" sketch from WKUK

9. about gambling – when you're low on cash and turn 50 bucks into 100 bucks the dopamine hit is crazy compared to when you're well-off it's a lot less exiting and just for the vibe

10. The worst part is that roblox has a stock market built in
