Comment on When we eat the billionaires, we should spare Gabe Newell? No?
SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 2 days agoWhat I’m talking about is that there isn’t a way to “withdraw” your money like the illegal sites let you. So no, there isn’t a way to gamble through Steam.
In fact, Steam does what they have the power to do in reporting those sites and getting them taken down.

Oh sorry, I always thought there was a way to withdraw money from your steam wallet to your bank account.
I haven’t used steam in a few years though, and haven’t interacted with the marketplace in longer than that, so wouldn’t really know!

There are third party sites where you can sell skins for money.

Which Valve tries to get taken down when told about them.
So people getting upset at Valve for kids using 3rd party gambling sites is a dumb argument

You are burying your head in the sand. Valve profits off 3rd party gambling. These sites pump skin prices and demand. Valve does legally the absolute are minimum to skirt gambling regulations and avoid being sued.
