These gambling websites have gained a lot of popularity recently, with popular Youtubers such as TheSyndicateProject and TmarTn, owning their own websites and making thousands of dollars through them. Valve has been a victim of several lawsuits, due to these websites.
A CS:GO player, Michael John McLeod, filed a lawsuit against Valve, claiming that they allow and support these websites to illegally gamble in-game items and earn profit from them. McLeod said that Valve sponsors these websites and allows millions of Americans to “link their individual Steam accounts to third- party websites”.
Today, Valve finally took action against these gambling websites by sending out a cease and desist order to all the gambling websites listed in the image below, taken from ValveTime on twitter:

Several other sites that are not listed in the image above, have also been warned and have been order to cease and desist.
