Finding the best CSGO gambling sites in 2019 is not that easy. CSGO gambling has had a chequered past to say the least, with many sites being shut down and penalised because of illegal activity.
There is clearly a demand among some Counter-Strike lovers to bet on their favourite game but for the sector to be sustainable long-term, CSGO gambling sites must comply with the laws - primarily for the safety and security of esports fans but also for the sake of themselves.
In the latest dev stream they had some comments about plans for CA and CTF. We've been loud and clear about CTF, so I figured why not have a poll about how we feel about CA :)

It is my privilege to announce that the wonder duo of Disrepute and vor has agreed to come out of slumber and once again host a stream covering our next Draft Cup.
The 6th #tdmpickup Draft Tournament will be played on Sunday, at 10:00 CDT, 2 June 2013. Signups will start at 09:00 CDT, 2 June 2013 and will last for one hour.
As usual, all players are invited to participate. Teams will be created automatically from the pool of all signed up players. Remember, each player has to play at least 10 TDM pickups prior to the tournament. So if you aren't ranked already, start playing pickups today! Have fun!
Type !tadd on our channel #tdmpickup between 09:00 CDT and 10:00 CDT on Sunday the 2nd. If you are signed up and you want to remove yourself, just use command !tremove. Please note that if you leave the channel before teams are created, you will be removed from the tournament as well!
- Everybody needs to play 10 pickup games before the tournament, in order to be able to signup to the tournament. You can check how many games are remaining on your profile at QLStats for #tdmpickup.
- Eat before the tournament. Delaying whole tournament because of one person grabbing junkfood sucks.
- Be ready to use voice communication. If you cannot speak English, at least join and listen.
- If you leave the channel before the teams are posted, you will be removed from the tournament.
- If you didn't manage to register during signups, feel free to query some admin and you will be used as a substitute in case one is needed.
- If you already played for some team, you cannot play as a substitue for any other team.
- Please don't spam IRC.

"Hi everybody! My name is Aleksey. Beginning with February 2013 I am sponsoring the 125 FPS QuakeLive League (http://125fps.com) and provide almost all of the prize money from my own pocket. Why do I do this? Because like many of us I played the first Quake and even Duke Nukem)) on lan during my childhood. Time goes by and I’m a grown-up man now with all the obligations that come along with it. Yet still I want the Quake community to flourish and reward me and all fans of the game with great matches, tournaments, reports etc.
When there are no tournaments with prize money the interest of players and fans decreases and that’s what I’m trying to combat. I’m sure I’m not the only one. The community has a lot of adult, successful people, as well as many young people who fell in love with the game.
I want to ask the community to help build on the foundation I and the 125fps team have laid and increase the prizes in the coming leagues. Fundraising is nothing new and is employed to collect funds for all kinds of events. I’m sure that many of you will be happy to chip in a sum that’s admissible for yourselves and even happier to follow the tournament you yourself made a contribution to!
Below are various ways to donate money for prize funds of 125fps.com leagues.
The reputation of the 125fps leagues guarantees for a fair distribution of funds. I myself will continue to contribute about 31500p(~1000$) every month.
I propose the following prize money distribution (31500RUR + donations)
1st – 15000RUR + 40% of donations
2nd – 7500RUR + 20% of donations
3rd – 3000RUR + 10% of donations
4th – 2000RUR + 5% of donations
5th - 8th - 1000RUR + 2,5% of donations
15% of the donations will go towards the organization and coverage of the league, in particular recruitment of streamers.
Additionally I suggest limiting the prize pool of every league by 3500$. If there is more than 2500$ worth of donations the surplus funds get transfered to the next league. The biggest donators will be listed below every leagues prize pool (voluntary).
The fundraising will start with the announcement of the next league."
