I know skins can be bought, I have a kid who spends on them to upgrade his online character but I honestly had no idea they could be gambled. Now it makes sense: since skins have value, they can be traded, so it’s basically gambling in disguise. Instead of money, they just use skins. Pretty clever setup.
Skins on steam games like CS:GO/CA2 is the most popular games that skins has high value and often being use by some casino as currency to bet since there’s a market for this item.
This skin gambling was popular few years ago but now I thought this is not popular already.
But when it comes to addiction, there’s really no difference compared to gambling with real money.
At the end of the day, skins can be converted to cash or traded, so the same risks apply.
You’re right. Skin gambling addiction is worst since it’s more expensive to purchase while it’s market value always depleting due to consistent supply in game.
