While I'm fully aware that there are differences between Bitcoin and CS:GO skins, in this conversation they are more alike than different and I think comparisons apply. Then you have Seals with Clubs, where the owner is facing 10 years in jail for running a Bitcoin poker site. Last year 3 states changed their gambling laws in one form or another and it's bound to happen again this year. FYI, gambit was created by the guy behind, they had the resources to keep up to date and decided it was not the best way to go. You certainly wouldn't want to go into that fight without lawyers and precedent on hand.Įven where it's not strictly illegal, keeping up to date on what is and is not legal was enough of a nightmare for Gambit (they did bitcoin wagering for board games and crap, not even observer betting) gave up on the entire money based system. The fact that there is an established exchange for converting between fiat and skins makes the 'this isn't money' argument to be very, very, thin. In many states that do not allow gambling, they also forbid using anything of value in place of money for the purposes of gambling. If you look at what US based Bitcoin gambling has become over the last few months, you might not be so sure that it was legal.
