Three of YouTube and Twitchs most popular gaming personalities, Trevor TmarTn Martin, Thomas ProSyndicate Cassell, and Josh JoshOG Beaver, are embroiled a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive gambling scandal following improper disclosure of their financial and ownership involvement with betting site CSGO Lotto.Counter-Strike gambling and betting has come under heavy fire by the community over the past few years because of its lack of regulation. By betting decorative skins that are earned by opening in-game crates (which can then be purchased for money on the Steam marketplace), websites are able to circumvent the category of traditional gambling. Counter-Strikes developer, Valve, has been quiet on the matter.YouTubers Ethan h3h3Productions Klein and HonorTheCall accused Martin and Cassell of openly promoting the CSGO Lotto site without being forthcoming about their ties within the company. Viewers have also complained about being misled to believe Martin had no prior knowledge of the website. In March, Martin specifically said he found a new site in reference to CSGO Lotto.Beaver has come under less criticism, primarily because he disclosed a promo deal between his videos and CSGO Lotto. According to the Federal Trade Commissions outline on endorsements, he failed to do so correctly by only putting said sponsorship in the description of his videos.Martin, Cassell and Beaver are all officers of the companys corporation, which was established in Orlando, Florida, Martins hometown. Martin currently acts as the companys president, Cassell as vice president, and Beaver as secretary. Martin and Cassell have both failed to notify their viewers of such a link until recently, following the release of HonorTheCalls videos, when Martin said that it was no secret that he and Cassell were owners of CSGO Lotto.Martins explanation to fans has changed over time, however. Martin told YouTube channel Scarce that he was not originally involved in CSGO Lotto when he first came in contact with the site. However, according to Florida Department of States Division of Corporations online service, Martin was the original incorporator of the business in December 2015.A large concern is that Martin, Cassell and Beaver would have access to the back end of the CSGO Lotto site due to their ownership. This would allow each of them to know the numbers and potentially rig the winning of a bet for entertainment and promotional purposes on their site, something that fellow Twitch streamer Mohamad m0E Assad recently went under fire for in relation to CSGO Diamonds, another gambling site.After the release of h3h3Productionss video, Martin began to make all of his videos regarding CSGO Lotto private on YouTube, as well as his vlog defending his nondisclosure of ownership. His Twitter has been relatively silent, aside from a now-deleted Twitlonger statement Monday, which a user managed to cache before its deletion.Ive admitted to wishing I was more upfront about owning the site, Martin said in the now-deleted statement. It was always public info but I was never very outspoken about it. My idea was to keep business business, while the focus of YouTube was simply making entertaining content. Obviously, that was misleading to viewers and something I very much regret.Various attorneys on Twitter, notably Ryan Morrison, also known as VideoGameAttorney, have said that what Martin and Cassell have done is illegal. However, the legal ramifications Martin, Cassell and Beaver will face currently remains unclear.Answers to all:1) Yes what the CSGO YTers did is illegal 2) Yes they are reported 3) Not helping Bashur 4) I can eat a grande combo solo- Video Game Attorney (@MrRyanMorrison) July 5, 2016Martin, for his part, claims in his statement what they did was legal and that conducting business in a legal manner was his companys top priority. Cassell, on the other hand, was more forthcoming with his thoughts on the matter, although he claims he did nothing wrong.I apologize to anyone who feels mislead regarding the ownership of @CSGOLotto. I will always be more transparent from here on out!- Mr. Syndicate (@ProSyndicate) July 4, 2016I do however stand very firmly behind the fact that @CSGOLotto has never & will never scam/steal from players.- Mr. Syndicate (@ProSyndicate) July 4, 2016Ive always disclosed that my CSGO videos were sponsored & even asked a YouTube employee if anything more was needed & they said it wasnt.- Mr. Syndicate (@ProSyndicate) July 4, 2016Things might change soon, however, as a Counter-Strike player Michael John McLeod has opened a class-action lawsuit against Valve for allowing an illegal online gambling market. In the suit, McLeod alleges that Valve knowingly allowed an illegal online gambling market and has been complicit in creating, sustaining and facilitating that market.In an analytics report by Chris Grove from Narus Advisors, CS:GO has made $7.4 billion dollars annually (with 1.9 billion for jackpot sites where players bet skins in lottery-style games).

MEXICO CITY, Mexico -- Lewis Hamilton was nearly dealt a critical blow to his title chances on the opening lap of the Mexican Grand Prix when his Mercedes team considered pitting him from the lead.Hamilton locked his front right tyre into the first corner due to a glazed brake disc, resulting in him taking to the run off and cutting Turn 2 completely. He escaped a penalty from the stewards but the lock-up severely damaged his right front tyre with a flat spot.Mercedes were ready to pit Hamilton at the end of the first lap, but a safety car period for a collision between Pascal Wherlein and Marcus Ericsson gave the pit wall enough time to revaluate the situation.It was huge, Hamilton said. A massive flat spot and I honestly thought that I was going to have to come in. When I came out of the chicane I honestly thought I was coming in that lap and that was my race pretty much done. But they told me to stay out, the safety car came out and they felt that we could live with the vibration and it wouldnt damage the suspension. It was getting worse and worse even though I wasnt locking up any more. But I had to take a lot of precautions while trying to nurse the car to the 17th lap.Team boss Toto Wolff said the vibrations caused by the misshaped tyre llooked scary on the teams data.ddddddddddddWith all the bad luck Lewis has had throughout the season, he got some of that back today, some of the good luck back, because he badly flat-spotted the tyre. The vibration matrix was scary from the beginning. We had quite a conversation on the radio about whether we should pit him for safety reasons.In any other race we would have pitted him and lost the race. We kept him out there in order to not throw away the championship for him. Every single lap, every single straight, we monitored the vibrations. Our team did a fantastic job in keeping that under control and then we pitted him a bit earlier because the vibration matrix was going sky high and a suspension failure could have easily happened.Hamilton made it to lap 17 with the flat spot before changing tyres, which Wolff said was crucial to staying on a winning strategy.That was the earliest we could have pitted him. Everything else would have destroyed the race. But honestly it was not a comfortable situation we found ourselves in there to make that call, weighing up the championship versus a failure of the suspension. ' ' '
