Valve made clear last year that they were against gambling accounts using CS:GO skins, and now they've made clear that the same applies to gambling in Team Fortress 2. Through an official statement published last July, the company announced that they would monitor the situation to avoid unpleasant situations such as in the case of CS:GO.
Apparently, this warning wasn't enough, because in recent hours Valve blocked some suspicious gambling accounts and notified all users not to use those gambling sites that sell in-game items for Team Fortress 2. You can read the statement published on the game's official blog below:
"In July of last year we outlined our position on gambling web sites, specifically noting that Valve has no business relationship with these sites. At that time we also began blocking many CS:GO gambling accounts."
"More recently, some gambling web sites started leveraging TF2 items. Today we began the process of blocking TF2 gambling accounts as well. We recommend you don't trade with these sites."
Do you think gambling on games like Team Fortress 2 and CS:GO have died down in recent months, or is it still a big problem?
