A hacker who was trying to steal from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive betting site CS:GO Shuffle has provided Richard Lewis with Skype logs that suggest Twitch streamer James ‘PhantomL0rd’ Varga is closely involved with the site.
The logs, between Varga and site founder Duhau Joris, lead Lewis to believe “almost to a degree of certainty, that PhantomL0rd is the owner of CS:GO Shuffle, that on top of that, he has gambled exclusively with house money taken from the business, that he has also held meetings with other betting sites to discuss methodology, and also that he has asked Joris, the site coder, for percentages of rolls to increase his outcomes of winning and/ or losing as he wants to do appropriately for his own personal gain.”
In the logs, Varga makes a payment to Joris totalling $20,000 , then asking for skins to bet with, followed by requests for percentage odds on site rolls to he can time bets.
Lewis has asked Varga for comment, though the Twitch streamer has remained silent.
Both Valve and Twitch have begun the process to stamp out CS:GO gambling.
