Hi everyone wanna share one of my friend's story.. he is jr dev and suddenly became heavily involved in skin betting, he is influenced by streamers, after witnessing streamers incredible wins, my friend just wanna try a shoot.. He began by throwing $300 worth of CS:GO skins for fun however things quickly got out of hand. He started selling gear, chasing wins & losing several thousand dollars in virtual loot. He has completely stopped using gambling websites however he is too ashamed of his habit to admit to anyone that he is losing.
Have any of you managed to escape the tidal wave of skin betting? After the virtual casino spiral, how did you regain your boundaries, trust & even your attitude?
Your friend seems to be experiencing psychological distress after losing more money and feeling depressed, becoming mentally unstable. Don't worry, it's treatable. The first step is to tell his family about his problems and allow them to gently persuade him to see a psychologist. After that, I'm sure everything will be fine, as judging by your story, this is the first time your friend has experienced something like this. This will make recovery easier.
Ops can you give us more insight into what skin betting means because from the look of things, it seems that this game is very new to us and as I googled it nothing really relevant came out.
Skin betting isn't new and has been around for a long time. These skins have a certain value and can be used to bet in place of money. I recall there was a casino on this forum that offered this kind of betting, and I once bet using Dota 2 skins, but unfortunately, I forget the name of the site.
