Why? Casinos are incredibly regulated, loot boxes aren't.
But also casinos have an actual payout, while lootboxes give you in-game stuff.
That's not how cs works. You can sell the items either on steam market (which steam makes even more money from) or to a 3rd party website where they will give you actual money (sometimes in the thousands, the most we've ever seen was an item going for ~$675,000).
Does anyone actually know anyone thst can provide a first hand account of selling an item for upwards of 10k in the past 3 years? Everyone I know just repeats Twitter posts as evidence
Idk about 10k but a kid I met a few years younger than me opened a $1.5k karambit, sold it on steam market for a valve index and a steam deck. That means a child was gambling...
