G2 quietly removes skin gambling company CSGORoll from list of partners G2 EsportsG2 Esports appears to be distancing itself from CSGORoll just three months after announcing a controversial partnership with the skins gambling website. The Berlin-based esports organization partnered with CSGORoll on May 2, announcing the deal through a promotional video featuring their CS:GO star Ilya \u2018m0NESY\u2019 Osipov in a casino setting. The announcement was met with intense criticism in the CS:GO community, not only because CSGORoll has been accused of offering unregulated gambling of CS:GO skins (it has been banned in Australia for breaching the country\u2019s gambling laws), but also because m0NESY had turned 18 the day before the announcement video was released. Moreover, G2 came under fire for the wording of their announcement. The organization stated that \u201cskins = wins\u201d and labeled CSGORoll \u201ca CS:GO Skins trading market\u201d, when, in reality, it is a skins casino website offering a wide variety of games, from Plinko to dice rolls. Three months into the partnership, G2 seems to have been quietly erasing evidence of its ties to CSGORoll. The gambling website is no longer listed as a partner by G2, and its logo has been removed from the banners on the players\u2019 social media pages. G2 has also taken down announcements of the partnership from its website and Twitter. The controversial promotional video has been made private on YouTube. Meanwhile, CSGORoll\u2019s logo was blurred out in the latest VLOG posted by G2 on YouTube. The video, recorded during IEM Cologne (when CSGORoll\u2019s logo was still visible on the players\u2019 jerseys), was the first in which the description text does not mention the gambling company as a partner. Despite all this, CSGORoll\u2019s website continues to display a banner showing that it is an \u201cofficial partner\u201d of G2 Esports. G2 Esports did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
