PhantomL0rd outed as owner of CSGOShuffle and for also rigging bets

4.4
Although there are many gambling sites centred around in-game items and skins from Steam games it was CSGO Lotto that hit the headlines recently when two prominent YouTubers 'Syndicate' and 'tmartn' started advertising it while pretending they’d merely stumbled up on it by accident – when in fact they were the owners.

It has now come to light via Richard Lewis that popular Twitch streamer James 'Phantoml0rd' Varga not only owned his own CSGO betting site 'CSGOShuffle' that he promoted heavily on his Twitch Stream but he was actively rigging the bets to ensure he wins while also playing with house money.

It's still early days but so far from leaked Skype logs between Varga and a developer for CSGOShuffle the rigging went on for months.

Something else that's very interesting about the chat logs is that in November 2015 Varga shows concern about competition coming from


'CSGOLOTTO The Syndicate Site' and CSGOWILD by the Faze guys

This is interesting because although Syndicate and tmartn have already been outed as the owners of CSGOLOTTO the Faze clan have been actively denying any involvement CSGOWILD.

You can watch the full video below going over the details.

Valve responded to the initial CSGOLotto scandal by halting all third-party skin gambling sites as they were in violation of Terms of Service in place since 2010.

PhantomL0rd gained global attention in 2013 after being one of the earliest victims of a "swatting" incident in which armed police raided his home after trolls placed hoax calls.

Twitch creates cancer. I hope he lives a shitty life after this

Reb I lost a lot of money by the bots being terrible. I think that although these youtubers are making a lot of money in the way they are, I'm somewhat proud of them. They managed to broaden their horizon, make a new market and a lot of money


They did make a new market, but also sabotaged it for their own personal gain

Eli All this shit is just heating up and I'm sitting back watching it all go down. Can't wait to hear more news about this situation.
Same. It's kind of funny if you ask me.


Agreed. All these youtubers that people loved, just ruined their image in the community also. It's sad, and a bit pathetic really on their part

sucks to see what the community has become

I'm shocked that I read what has happened. Yeah FaZe Rain goes on CSGO and he denied that he's in charge of the site > He said NO on Twitter as a fan tweeted to him about the case..

I think it's insane how so much money can be lost to trivial things like a skin for a gun in a video game.

This is why I never put expensive skins into any betting site.

I felt kind of bad for Joris at first considering he was clearly against giving Phantomlord more money but both are incredibly dodgy people. This is completely illegal and if these logs are true I hope they get punished for stealing money.
