Zero Edge Online poker was basically killed overnight in the early 2000s for... reasons... yet online gambling through Counter-Strike skins that purposely target kids is legal.. It's illegal to sell flavored e-cigs because "maybe kids get them," but no age checks or regulation for online skin gambling. Illegal to advertise cigarettes because "maybe kids," but not illegal to advertise online skin gambling, where you can sponsor content creators with a 12-18 year-old audience. While no one was paying attention, online skin gambling became bigger than all online casinos combined.
