What items do you think that you have control over? You don’t own anything in your account and it can be taken away for any reason or for no reason at all.
All right, title and interest in and to this Site, the Materials and all associated Proprietary Rights is owned by Valve or its licensors, and no ownership of any of the foregoing items is transferred to you by virtue of this Agreement or Valve’s permitting you to use the Site.

If you are a child and one of the things you want to do is gamble, yes.
As we all did when we were young playing pokemon, Mario, Mario party, marbles, mighty beans, hot wheels, etc
I don’t remember playing with real money doing any of that or international crime and extortion rings developing around them.
Yeah but it feels a little more scummy when it’s Visa, Mastercard and American Express
