FaZe Rain and FaZe Banks caught secretly owning CS:GO gambling site, legal action possibly forthcoming

Two members of the most influential group of YouTubers, the FaZe clan, have been caught running a secret CS:GO gambling website just like the two other controversial YouTube stars we reported on earlier this week.

For those unaware, earlier this week two YouTubers were exposed as running a website that allows Counter Strike: Global Offense players to gamble away their cosmetic weapon skins for real life money. These YouTubers would use their site that they owned in YouTube videos and would esentially promote it without disclosing their actual involvement in the site. Not only is this illegal, but it's morally wrong. They are leading people to believe they genuinely enjoy this site and aren't getting any personal gain from it. They also have a large audience consisting of people under the age of 18, which makes it illegal for those people to gamble. When you go to these sites, it doesn't really prevent anyone from under the age of 18 from playing it just says "Promise you're over the age of 18? You are? Good, go gamble away your money!"

The two YouTubers that have just been exposed are Nordan Shat (FaZe Rain) and Ricky Banks (FaZe Banks) who are members of a popular YouTube group with millions of subs. Faze Rain has one of the largest followings among the group and has over 3,000,000 subscribers on YouTube. FaZe Rain has previously been depicted as being super kind to his fans and is typically seen as a pretty down to earth guy, but this recent discovery may shed some new light on his true colors.

YouTuber Eight Thoughts recently did some digging after the exposure of Tmartn and ProSyndicate to see if he could find any other dirt on other YouTubers. Among his findings was the ownership of CSGOWild.com belonged to the two previously mentioned FaZe clan members. The two massive stars were much smarter with covering their tracks compared to Tmartn and ProSyndicate because they used specific tricks to help make it easier to cover up. So not only is this worse because they went the extra mile to cover it up, but they have been lying to their fans the entire time.

It's sad to see that the YouTube community has stooped to such low levels when they already make so much money off other sponsorships and ad revenue. Hell, Nordan Shat even owns an Audi R8 2017, so he clearly isn't struggling for money. The FTC will probably step in inlight of this recent controversy and take legal action on the YouTubers involved for not disclosing their involvement with the sites they owned. We will continue to keep you updated as the story develops.
