English term or phrase: skin betting sites.
We’re often asked to recommend item or skin betting sites, but it’s not something we’re prepared to do at the moment.

Most of these sites are outright scams, or a bit shady at the very least, and we haven’t found ANY that we’d feel comfortable recommending.

If you’re absolutely determined to get involved, the following sites seem to be among the most popular.
We’re not endorsing these sites in any way, but they do at least SEEM to be vaguely legitimate.

Thanks!

sites de paris de skins
Explanation:
skin betting or skin gambling

"In video games, skin gambling is the use of virtual goods, which are most commonly cosmetic elements such as "skins" which have no direct influence on gameplay, as virtual currency to bet on the outcome of professional matches or on other games of chance. It primarily has occurred within the player community for the game Counter-Strike: Global Offensive by Valve Corporation, but practice of it exists in other game communities. Valve also runs the Steam marketplace which can be interfaced by third-parties to enable trading, buying, and selling of skins from players' Steam inventories for real-world or digital currency, though Valve itself condemns the gambling practices and such activity violates Steam's Terms of Service."

"La NGA affirme que 25% des adolescents entre 15 et 16 ans jouent à Counter-Strike : Global Offensive et que les skins peuvent être apparentés à de la monnaie virtuelle via leur valeur sur les marchés internet, ce qui signifie que les jeunes peuvent l'utiliser pour parier.

La NGA s'est saisie de l'affaire car elle a reçu des requêtes concernant les problèmes liés au skin et à la monnaie virtuelle. L'autorité a affirmé que des sanctions seraient prises à l'encontre de ceux qui permettent le pari de skin ou « skin betting », en Norvège.

La commission britannique des jeux d'argent a elle aussi reconnu récemment les paris de skins comme jeux d'argent, c'est donc un pas de plus dans la lutte contre les jeux d'argent chez les mineurs."

agree  Clément Dhollande: Je pense que l'on peut aussi traduire "skins" par "apparences", pour franciser un peu.

agree  Kevin Oheix: Dans l'usage, sur internet, je dirais aussi "skins". Il suffit de voir les vidéos Youtube et sites qui en parlent.
