I'm trying to understand which part exactly is fraud? If this site offered a legitimate marketplace for these items as well as gambling then in certain jurisdictions of course that could be illegal (due to the gambling aspect) but where does the fraud come in exactly?

The fraud is circumventing restrictions on purchasing gambling credits by ostensibly purchasing a CS2 skin at the time of the financial transaction.

Legal what-ifs have a much lower bar than a C++ if clause or the assembly conditional it compiles to.
