ABC portal published a report on an increase in the number of contractual matches in e -sports. Among the interlocutors of the publication was a semi -professional player in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive under the nickname JHD – he admitted that he was offered money for a contract match.
JHD is now 19 years old, but www.damslotscasino.co.uk he has already managed to get an annual ban: the athlete made bets on the outcome of his matches, because, according to him, he did not get acquainted with the rules of the competition as it should. At the same time, JHD claims that he always put the money for his own victory and never lost deliberately. He knows that for contractual matches in Australia, a prison term is entitled.
As JHD admitted, once he was offered $ 2,000 for a defeat in the match (perhaps this refers to Australian dollars-then it is about $ 1,480 at the current rate). The athlete refused: in a commentary for ABC, he says that this is against his moral principles, and I somehow do not want to sit in prison because of a couple of thousand dollars.
Kotaku Australia adds that JHD played in the Rooster 2 team. She beats in top -end competitions CS: GO on the territory of Australia, however, it is far from major international tournaments. In addition, in Australia, e -sports is, in principle, poorly developed, as it brings very little money – only a couple of teams in the country CS: GO can afford to train all day, while the rest are forced to combine the game with the main work.
In 2020, the first case in the history of Australia occurred when local e-sportsmen were on court for contractual matches. In a conversation with the ABC, the Fertilization Committee in e -sports said that every day he receives about a hundred complaints related to fraud in tournaments. Not all of them are true, but in general, recently cases of fraud have become more frequent, the committee claims. Most likely, this is due to the general growth of the popularity of digital sports against the background of the pandemic.
