Their task is to try to eliminate each other and carry out other objectives such as protecting hostages or planting a bomb.<\/p>\n<p>Figures from Valve suggest the game had more than 18 million unique players last month.<\/p>\n<p>While playing CS:GO, gamers could earn loot boxes containing cosmetic upgrades for their avatars or weapons. The only way to open the loot containers was to buy a key from Valve. Both boxes and keys could be traded for real cash on the Steam marketplace.<\/p>\n<p>Valve said until recently keys were generally traded between real players. But now this had changed as fraudsters had targeted the game. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At this point, nearly all key purchases that end up being traded or sold on the marketplace are believed to be fraud-sourced,&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n<p>It is not clear how much money was being laundered via the Steam marketplace but hundreds of thousands of boxes and keys have been traded via the online shop. Most keys and boxes sell for a few dollars each.<\/p>\n<p>Players will still be able to buy keys to open containers they get via gameplay, said Valve. Following the latest update to the game, keys will be bound to a player&#8217;s account so they cannot be transferred.<\/p>\n<p>It admitted that the change would hit some legitimate players but said its desire to combat fraud came first.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"media-landscape has-caption full-width\"><span class=\"image-and-copyright-container\"> <span class=\"off-screen\">Image copyright<\/span> <span class=\"story-image-copyright\">Valve<\/span> <\/span><figcaption class=\"media-caption\"><span class=\"off-screen\">Image caption<\/span> <span class=\"media-caption__text\"> Fraudsters may switch to target other games such as Team Fortress 2, said one expert <\/span> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rockpapershotgun.com\/2019\/10\/29\/valve-block-counter-strike-loot-key-reselling-to-fight-money-laundering\/\" class=\"story-body__link-external\">Writing on the Rock Paper Shotgun gaming news site, Craig Pearson said<\/a> the keys were used by fraudsters because they had a &#8220;consistent price&#8221; across Steam. This, he said, let &#8220;traders, both legitimate and heinous, use them as a base currency&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Fraudsters are expected to target trading in other Valve games such as Team Fortress 2 or Dota 2, he added. <\/p>\n<p>Valve has taken action several times to limit use and abuse of the CS:GO trading system.<\/p>\n<p>It has limited trading in the past when it emerged that some traders were, in effect, using items as gambling chips. It has also stopped players in the Netherlands and Belgium opening loot boxes following rulings that that mechanism violated local gambling laws.<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a
