Ethics is once again a boiling point topic in the eSports industry after an investigation uncovers that the same company owns CSGOLounge and the eSports team Virtus.pro, and Wings Gaming wins The 2016 International.

eSports ethics has once again been brought into question after esportsobserver.com revealed that a spot of digging around in Polish company registry files revealed that the parent company of CSGOLounge also owns one of the top Counter-Strike teams Virtus.pro.

CSGOLounge is one of the many third party Counter-Strike skin betting gambling sites that received a Cease & Desist letter from the game creators Valve Corporation in the wake of a series of high-profile incidents that brought the legality of skin betting into the mainstream press.

One of the scandals that became a catalyst for change involved two prominent eSports YouTube stars who regularly filmed themselves winning big and frequently on the skin betting site CSGOLotto. It later transpired they owned the company that they were betting on raising ethical concerns over the potential to cheat.
