    They could try doing something. I dunno maybe trading limits and/or time-outs combined with DMCA takedowns.

    Maybe the cost of setting up casinos isn’t very high but it takes time to build up trust from consumers and get customers.

    If they can shutdown the biggest casinos that are sponsoring YouTubers and competitions that’s at least a decent win.

      They already do this. Skins have trade restrictions in the form of time delays after specific actions. Valve also clamped down on the features of their trading API.

      The bad news is that it’s not an easy problem to solve and not solely in Valve’s hands. But to say Valve has done nothing is straight up false. Have they done enough? Debatable, but there’s no easy solutions.
