The popular Youtube pair of Trevor “TmarTn” Martin and Tom ‘Syndicate’ Cassell have a combined following of almost 13 million and were, until recently, hugely popular in the online CS:GO gaming community. 
It has now come to light that they are the co-owners of a skins gambling platform called CS:GO Lotto, a site which many of their most viewed videos promoted without any clear indication that this is something they owned and profited from directly.
Videos showed Martin and Cassell gambling and winning with the intention of urging other people to visit the site and wager with skins.
Fans have been split in their response to this but the comments section showed extensive outrage at the revelation. The pair have responded by way of apologising for a lack of ‘transparency’ but professed their innocence.
Cassell said: “I apologize to anyone who feels misled regarding the ownership of @CSGOLotto. I will always be more transparent from here on out. I do however stand very firmly behind the fact that @CSGOLotto has never & will never scam/steal from players.
I’ve always disclosed that my CSGO videos were sponsored & even asked a YouTube employee if anything more was needed & they said it wasn’t. Transparency from here on out!”
