OK I said gambling was manipulative at best and immoral and worst. That isn't saying gambling is immoral. It's a scale. Sure gambling can be fun or justified in certain circumstances. For example, on a sporting match. It is chance that you will win the bet, but it's not chance that the team or player you bet on will win the sport. There is skill involved. So you are betting on the idea that one player or team is better than the other and there are ways to determine this (previous performance, ranking on so on).

Betting on sport, even esport matches, is NOT a game of chance. Although chance is involved at some level, it's not the driving force. It's NOT spinning a wheel to see what happens. Which is totally based on chance.

Next, you're saying that if a manipulative trick tricks people into spending their money, it's working and therefore it's inherently a good thing because people like it? Scams are successful if they get people to buy into them. That doesn't make them moral, good or acceptable.

If Pysonix are adding the ability to hide the system, is this not an admission of guilt and display of shame?

Saying that there are worst places to lose money is just silly. Many young people have lost tens of thousands of their parents money on these sites and in CS:GO.
