from my side can confirm cs2 is absolute goldmine right now. profit margins way better than traditional sports. younger demographic bets bigger amounts and way more prop bets. some cs2 matches we take more handle than nfl games. dota2 used to be king but its time is gone. international used to...
wonder if irish players will get access to better bonuses and odds once theres proper competition
unregulated market means no protection but also no restrictions on promotions
offshore operators gonna hate this. search traffic was basically free marketing for them. now they'll have to actually pay for customer acquisition like everyone else hehehe
and most stupid part is now ghana gets ZERO tax revenue from gambling instead of reasonable amount from regulated industry

work in compliance and esports is nightmare fellas. traditional sports have established monitoring systems, known player databases, clear tournament structures. esports has none of that. trying to flag suspicious betting patterns when you dont even know if player lineup is confirmed until 5...
lol you guys finally figuring out crypto sites were always scammy? been saying this for years but everyone was too blinded by "muh instant withdrawals" to see they were trading consumer protection for convenience
