>So don't play slots, faggot.

I can think things are bad and predatory even if I don't partake in it, retard. Promoting gambling on the #1 most popular PC FPS game is bad because many who play it are children and will fall into lifelong habits. There's no KYC in this. Gambling is only halfway tolerable to society if it's heavily taxed, but Valve isn't.

This is a loophole. If a casino argued that
>it's not gambling because there's a guaranteed prize
(even though that prize is generally 5% of the cost of the initial spin, but could be 100x also)
>it's not gambling because you need to step outside the casino to turn it into real money
(which they don't stop or control at all in any capacity, and which is what pachinko parlors do in Japan)
they'd be fucked up the ass by regulators. Valve has only gotten away with this shit and all their other blatant illegal practices because regulators just haven't paid enough attention.
