Unlike a CSGO case these show more highvalued stuff in the line as it rolls you on to the seemingly rare inexpensive item. Misrepresentation is a con, a scam. Be smart kids
These sites are actually made by the same guys who own all of the skin gambling sites for csgo. They pivoted when csgo started dying. It really is exactly the same as the Valve model.
Science Studio actually Kinguin is very popular here in Europe, almost any European PC gamer knows what Kinguin is. A lot of console gamers also purchase subscription through Kinguin and people also purchase windows keys. And not just that, a lot of PC hardware channels also has used Kinguin in past.
Same with G2A for me. Been using it for 2 years without problems. You may hate me for still doing it but it's the only site that gives me cheaper options.
I noticed that whenever I got really close to something super rare, the spinner would take just enough time to stop to get to the next item (that just so happened to be a sticker every time), but when I was going fast it would stop fast right on a bad item. I feel like the spinners are being lured towards these horrible items... spent 13$ trying to get really anything and got nothing but stickers. Never again!!
A paintjob on my car would have cost me $1000. I got 200 stickers on hypedrop for just 500 bucks to cover up all the scratches. Isn't that an awesome deal? 🤣

Wait... Loot box system? Sell back for less and they take a cut? Makes it look like you can get high priced items for cheap? Gets false advertised by paid creators? This sounds way too familiar...
Thanks for making this video man. It blows my mind that sites like this are legal. They should have to show the odds for winning each item too. It’s so easy to get hooked on this stuff. It’s so sad that they’re purposely tapping into a market that has such big enthusiasts who may be low on cash but hope they can win a pc upgrade.
There are websites similar to this on any given platform/game. I used to play csgo back in the day and there were sites that would let you make your own boxes. The catch there was that you could set the chance of winning high priced skins. They tease you by showing what you could win, but thankfully there were sites that would allow you to view the chances of getting certain skins (lower value skins were mainly the most common). tl;dr yes, it's still gambling, but certain sites do allow you to view the chances of winning something
We’ve seen these scam sites before, where essentially you gamble for items. Then they sponsor big content creators with “bot accounts” that have a much higher chance at “winning” just to rake in customers. It’s a shit thing to do.
Yes, it used to LOOK scammy. But it wasn't, and still isn't. Just legal gray areas back in the day, and now it's a way better site. Hate when people say gambling sites are a "scam"

The Razer one is TOTALLY ILLEGAL as hell because as far as I know they don't sell standalone stickers (they do give some with their products though) so unless they are buying a shit ton of keyboards or mice and pulling the stickers out of the boxes in which they wouldn't even be making money they are basically making and selling their own made trademarked stickers (I am no lawyer nor do I know anything about laws regarding this stuff but even though you can buy a trademarked logos online using one of them design your own product sites where you give them a design and they print it for you on basically almost anything but that is custom built for a customer and in no way are they purposely trying to create and sell off "fake" trademarked stuff and these Greg mentions how cheap stickers are to produce on average and no way will a site like this make enough profit to have increased odds of winning higher value items to entice more people if they were spending like a dollar or couple dollars on a couple of stickers especially when you factor in shipping whereas making your own stickers you can easily get them custom made for like as low as 5 to 10 cents and based on how the site looked when he showed off the Razer loot boxes it looks like you only get a single sticker which you probably won't even be able to get IRL if you bought official licensed stickers from someone like Razer)
So, slightly offtopic question, where did you get the wallpaper on the PC('s) behind you? I like it and I'd like to have it, but I can't seem to find it.
I made a video on this (unpaid) and scam is a little stretch and I realize you renounced your label of a scam. Its full on gambling in my opinion. A casino with the odds in the end, always stacking in the Houses a favor. You had bad luck. I had decent luck in my video. That being said, your breakdown was pretty spot on.
Fun fact: at a casino you have a chance of winning at 42%. While the house has a chance of winning at 58%. The same exact logic here. Though you don’t come out with nothing at all, they still profit even if you get something good.
I've actually had good luck with Kinguin I tend to resell any extra keys I get from mass drop on there. I've bought a couple keys as well. You do get screwed every once in a while but with how cheap the keys tend to be you can go through a couple and still come out cheaper than it would have been new.
I actually use kinguin and G2A to purchase my windows 10 keys and games. Never had any issues and they have buyers protection the same as eBay. Which doesn't really matter if you buy from a reputable seller.
Casino odds are regulated. I don't think electronic lootbox odds are. It can all just be stickers, for all we know. Or, at least, some astronomical chances of winning.
To be honest i started to use g2a years and years ago and i never had any kind of problem with the key's.. And i bought more than 40 games on it,saving a lot of money... I know things could go wrong sometime,and for sure they do,but not for me personally,not yet
Maybe they work but i'm not trusting those sites because 1. the prices mostly aren't realistic to be even bought at sales and 2. if you really like a game than it deserves propper payment! but that's just my opinion ^^
Well, I'm almost certain this is gonna show up in Belgium's courts one day too, I hope. It's not really to removed from gambling. But at least the casino tables require some skills for the most part.
What i find even more hillarious is that big youtubers with a majority underage viewers promote what is basically gambling to kids, and youtube doesn't do shit about it. Looking at you Logan and RiceGum.
I just came across them earlier and was kinda tempted to buy a box, mostly because I like getting mystery boxes and wouldn't care too much about what I got. Seeing the hoops I'd have to jump through, their integration with G2A (which I've had horrible experience with) and that you're playing basically virtual roulette has definitely put me off from getting one.
I decided to do a little bit of investigation myself. They do provide a list of what you could get in these boxes and just like video game loot boxes, it's a gamble. Sure, the pictures show you the most expensive items you could get in that box to build up the hype, but it's a classic case of "you get what you pay for." I decided to test it out on the "Game on a Budget" box. I've dealt with sites like G2A and Kinguin before, so I had no problem using it in this manner. Upon inspection, they don't give you any items that are worth less than the buy-in (those stickers for example cost about the same as they do on Razer's site) but still. They're lootboxes. By the way, I got a Spore game code, but I promptly traded that back in. Maybe I should've kept it, but ehh... Best to stay away from this one.
majority of these things are often counterfeit and or grey market as well bought in bulk from a manufacturer. i wonder if they pay the postage or make you do that?
They make you think that the likelihood of getting something more expensive (even dozens of times more valuable than what you paid) is similar or even higher than getting some of that cheap crap. That's the true deception / fraud here

I made a video on this (unpaid) and scam is a little stretch and I realize you renounced your label of a scam. Its full on gambling in my opinion. A casino with the odds in the end, always stacking in the Houses a favor. You had bad luck. I had decent luck in my video. That being said, your breakdown was pretty spot on.
Makes me laugh on UA-cam when videos get Demonitzed as not Advertiser friendly, yet some of the Ads I have seen they have no morals anyway
I think you are just getting a gambling addiction tbh
Buying a 20cent sticker for 5 bucks and then having to pay shipping for it is what all the cool kids do.
Its a gambling site lmao. Have u never seen this before
Fun fact: at a casino you have a chance of winning at 42%. While the house has a chance of winning at 58%. The same exact logic here. Though you don’t come out with nothing at all, they still profit even if you get something good.
I've actually had good luck with Kinguin I tend to resell any extra keys I get from mass drop on there. I've bought a couple keys as well. You do get screwed every once in a while but with how cheap the keys tend to be you can go through a couple and still come out cheaper than it would have been new.
owned by a russian guy called vlad nov, all these sites are
"If anything bad happens on the Internet, it's probably Russians"
I love your wallpaper bro, where can i get it from?
I actually use kinguin and G2A to purchase my windows 10 keys and games. Never had any issues and they have buyers protection the same as eBay. Which doesn't really matter if you buy from a reputable seller.
So it potentially can become gambling if the consumer has a gambling addiction
Casino odds are regulated. I don't think electronic lootbox odds are. It can all just be stickers, for all we know. Or, at least, some astronomical chances of winning.
thank you making this video, keep seeing this on facebook at least twice a day. and couldn't find any videos about it at the time, until just now.
Is 2060 6gb memory enough for 3d modeling like blender ? Or should i go higher?
So, you spent $21 and got exactly nothing in return? That's not how selling stuff works
I bet those "recently opend box" are looping images with your "win" thrown in
To be honest i started to use g2a years and years ago and i never had any kind of problem with the key's.. And i bought more than 40 games on it,saving a lot of money... I know things could go wrong sometime,and for sure they do,but not for me personally,not yet
Maybe they work but i'm not trusting those sites because 1. the prices mostly aren't realistic to be even bought at sales and 2. if you really like a game than it deserves propper payment! but that's just my opinion ^^
Did anyone else notice that on the low priced items, if you win those, you have to pay shipping too?
Well, I'm almost certain this is gonna show up in Belgium's courts one day too, I hope. It's not really to removed from gambling. But at least the casino tables require some skills for the most part.
What i find even more hillarious is that big youtubers with a majority underage viewers promote what is basically gambling to kids, and youtube doesn't do shit about it. Looking at you Logan and RiceGum.
I just came across them earlier and was kinda tempted to buy a box, mostly because I like getting mystery boxes and wouldn't care too much about what I got. Seeing the hoops I'd have to jump through, their integration with G2A (which I've had horrible experience with) and that you're playing basically virtual roulette has definitely put me off from getting one.
nice black+decker 20V drill
buy the ‘build your own setup’ lootbox to win one or many other similar prizes
I actually use g2a and kinguin often. I almost always use kinguin to purchase windows 10 pro keys
I decided to do a little bit of investigation myself. They do provide a list of what you could get in these boxes and just like video game loot boxes, it's a gamble. Sure, the pictures show you the most expensive items you could get in that box to build up the hype, but it's a classic case of "you get what you pay for." I decided to test it out on the "Game on a Budget" box. I've dealt with sites like G2A and Kinguin before, so I had no problem using it in this manner. Upon inspection, they don't give you any items that are worth less than the buy-in (those stickers for example cost about the same as they do on Razer's site) but still. They're lootboxes. By the way, I got a Spore game code, but I promptly traded that back in. Maybe I should've kept it, but ehh... Best to stay away from this one.
This is /literally/ just the MysteryBrand fiasco all over again from 6 months or so ago.
They make you buy through these sketchy merchants, so you cant dispute the charges with your credit card company when you are disappointed.
The drop rate is probably so low that it’s actually impossible for you to get anything without putting at least a large sum of money for somthing
majority of these things are often counterfeit and or grey market as well bought in bulk from a manufacturer.
i wonder if they pay the postage or make you do that?
can't wait to build a PC-IN-A-BOX.
Is it just my computer or does the audio seem out of sync?
what is ur monitor and wallpaper
Next video: buying hypdrop loot boxes until I win something GOOD
I love how it always lands right after the most expensive of items in the "box".... total bs lol
They make you think that the likelihood of getting something more expensive (even dozens of times more valuable than what you paid) is similar or even higher than getting some of that cheap crap.
That's the true deception / fraud here
