Finding the best CSGO gambling sites in 2019 is not that easy. CSGO gambling has had a chequered past to say the least, with many sites being shut down and penalised because of illegal activity.

There is clearly a demand among some Counter-Strike lovers to bet on their favourite game but for the sector to be sustainable long-term, CSGO gambling sites must comply with the laws - primarily for the safety and security of esports fans but also for the sake of themselves.

Interview with DonKing of Challenge-TV (33 comments)
Posted by Terbo @ 00:04 CDT, 29 August 2010 - iMsg
Challenge-TV.com has been a big part of the Quake scene for a long time and has been the go-to place for Quake demos. Check out this three part interview with DonKing presented by quakeworld.nu.

Part 1: DonKing on the Past of CHTV
Part 2: dK: CHTV may be a waste of time
Part 3: DonKing wants a CHTV for everyone

Lets talk vision, dreams and wishes. Whats your vision for CHTV right now and where do you see it in 5-10 years?

My vision is for CHTV to continue hosting Quakeworld and CPMa demos but also many other game demos, even consoles. To convert a lot of the classic demos into videos so that these great games and players are never forgotten. To have a site that navigates well, where everything you want is right there at the push of a button and to get all of my ideas coded into the site.

This movie is a result of almost 6 months of on and off work, with "on most of the time" when vacations began. About 80% of that time was spent on going through over 550mb's of demos, yet - it was worth it. I couldn't just sit and look as some of these frags go to waste. I tried to keep it as serious as possible, but yeah how serious can it be if it's called 'afterspray' :), anyway I have to say I'm quite happy about the result, I hope you'll enjoy it as much. =)
