YouTube Stars ProSyndicate & TmarTn in CS:GO Skin Betting Scandal

YouTube stars ProSyndicate and TmarTn have been caught with their pants down after it comes to light that they have been skin betting on a gambling site they own without full disclosure.

Rahul Sood is the founder of Unikrn, the leading eSports betting service on the interweb. So when he stood up at an eSports Betting Summit in London and expressed his concern over the unregulated growth of skin betting, he had my attention.

You see, Sood is not only a video game nut, but he is also a father, and it was a discussion with his 13-year old son about skin betting on Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) that prompted Sood to dig a little deeper. After the dirt had been cleared Sood found, via Eilers Research, that punters wagered $800m on skin betting in 2015 compared to $250m wagered on the standard eSports odds market.

“Betting skins is already huge,” Sood told the audience, “and it’s about to get bigger.”
