Popular Youtubers Tmartn and ProSyndicate, and Twitch streamer JoshOG are all co-owners of a CSGO lottery/betting/gambling site and have been making videos promoting their site without disclosing their ownership. Tmartn filed the company's charter document and is listed as president while ProSyndicate is listed as VP and JoshOG is listed as secretary.
As owners they have access to influence the odds when they gamble to allow them to win for great reactions. Also their site targets individuals under the age of 18.

I'm not apart of the CSGO community so as an outsider the gambling culture is odd to me and since it is digital items, then being sold for real money, a lot of sites have been skirting by regulations.

HonorTheTruth was the first person to call out Tmartn and others on this issue.
You can find his first video on the topic here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IuXz-cux1M
Because he is such a small Youtuber his video did not get that much traction but he is being cited by larger Youtubers addressing this event.
