Twitch streamers are no longer allowed to stream gambling, and restrictions are being placed on Valve's OpenID API system.

Recently, there has been a lot of controversy over CS:GO gambling websites, especially so with CSGOLotto and CSGODiamonds. While underage gambling has always been an issue in regards to these un-regulated websites, it was discovered how TmartTn and TheSyndicateProject owned CSGOLotto and promoted it via YouTube and Twitch without leaving disclaimers. Just before this incident, it was also found how m0e, a popular North American streamer and analyst, had ties to CSGODiamonds, including getting lists of future rolls without disclaiming. All of this combined sparked a front against the gambling scene of CS:GO, and one even took a lawsuit to Valve itself.
