    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Gambling] Fake gambling website
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198051287495

    Victim profile: 76561198075593258

    What happened? Description:
    They offered me a chance to promote their own site with payment involved. I was curious and asked for the link. Seemed really nice and legit. Then he showed me the function of the site is the gambling part. People throw items into a pot for a chance at winning it all, he told me to watch a user epic_fail. I watched and then the guy won. Apparently, this man rigs the competition every week to pay the ones promoting the website by rigging the jackpot so people like Epic_Fail would win. I think this should be brought out and told before he continues his illegal streak.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Evidence should be in the screenshots. Though I wish I got the picture of Epic_Fail winning the jackpot via his rigging. I didnt take one at the time cause well I was flabergasted. Though I hope this is enough for you all to take him down in some way.​

    people who play on the site are rich, and they are indifferent to their items , this is a chance for you to make money, do not refuse
