CS2 skin betting vs USDC wagering — what's the actual difference

CS2 skin betting: you use skins as currency, the platform controls them, usually involves RNG. Legally grey in most countries.

CS2 USDC wagering on LootDiff: you stake a fixed amount of USDC on your own match performance. Skill-based. Smart contract holds funds. No RNG.

The difference matters because:

1. USDC is real money with real value — skins fluctuate
2. Smart contract means nobody can run off with your stake
3. Skill wagering vs gambling is a different legal category in most regions
