The Counter-Strike Professional Players’ Association (CSPPA) and EPIC Risk Management have agreed to become global Gambling Awareness Partners, according to a release.
EPIC Risk Management and CSPPA will work to provide ‘impactful and proven awareness, education, and risk-management programmes’ to CSPPA members through a series of sessions. As global Gambling Awareness Partners, both parties will launch a series of research projects focusing on gambling awareness in esports.
This is a momentous agreement for a couple of reasons. First, esports gambling is now huge, and many people in esports, including fans, players, and workers are still teenagers or young adults.
