The CS:GO Gambling Scandal meme refers to the massive 2016 controversy involving high-profile YouTubers TmarTn and ProSyndicate, who promoted the gambling site CSGOLotto without disclosing they were actually the founders and owners. The meme often features screenshots from their 'discovery' videos—where they pretended to find the site randomly—or TmarTn’s subsequent non-apology video. It has since become a staple of internet culture used to mock influencer transparency, rigged systems, and the 'wild west' era of Steam skin betting. Users utilize this template to joke about hidden conflicts of interest or the shock of getting caught in a digital lie.
