Vlad sits down with Ossi Ketola to break down how a teenage gamer turned a bad scam experience into a major move during the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive skin gambling boom. Ketola explains how he studied coding and business while playing League of Legends, spotted the rising value of CS:GO skins, and launched a casino-style platform at 18 using an €11,000 loan. He details how players deposited and withdrew skins as currency, why rare items became status symbols like luxury watches, and how games such as roulette and coin flip generated revenue through house edge rather than transaction fees. The conversation also covers player-vs-house betting, peer-to-peer games, early profits, and why many skin gambling and crypto casino operations were structured through places like Curaçao rather than Finland. Ketola also compares the broader market to RuneScape gambling and modern operators like Stake.
