Youtube Esports Star Issues Non-apology Over Skin Betting Scandal

One of the YouTube eSports stars tagged in the eSports skin betting scandal hits back at its critics with a non-apology video on Wednesday.

Trevor “Tmartn” Martin uploaded a two-minute video apology titled “I’m Sorry” on his YouTube channel in an attempt to calm the controversy concerning him and fellow YouTube star Tom “ProSyndicate” Cassel and their equity in gambling website CS: GO Lotto.

Martin eventually took down the video after receiving a backlash from his angry fans. Luckily, quick-thinking fans were able to save copies of Martin’s video apology and re-upload it on the popular video sharing website.

Most of the content of the video centered on Martin’s defense that he and Cassel did not mislead viewers by promoting CS:GO Lotto that they in fact owned and that they encouraged others to spend money on it after showcasing themselves apparently winning thousands of dollars-worth of items in minutes.
