Meet the Prolific Scammer
Edd Stanton A.K.A Sparkles
Sparkles has made millions of dollars from partnering up with multiple fraudulent and illegal online casinos.
Over the past eight years, the online persona known as Sparkles has been deeply involved with the promotion of fraudulent online casinos. This has included high-profile sites like Skin.Club, DaddySkins, DatDrop, CSGODiamonds, Drakemoon, Drakewing, and more recently, CSGORoll. Every single one of these were promoted by Sparkles at a time that they most lacked the necessary operational transparency and fairness, which blatantly points to a complete disregard for ethics by Sparkles. In addition, it shows that he has no affection whatsoever with his audience — contrary to what his “nice guy” persona leads people to believe.
Sparkles, also known as Edd Stanton, initially gained fame through his engaging CS:GO content, crafting a relatable and friendly image that resonated with a wide gaming audience. His YouTube channel and social media platforms became popular for their energetic and entertaining presentations, which helped him establish a significant online following. This persona of a community-centric gamer played a key role in building his reputation as a seemingly trustworthy figure in the industry.
Despite this carefully curated public image, Sparkles’ activities behind the scenes tell a different story. His engagement in lucrative endorsement deals with various shady skin casinos raised ethical concerns. The contrast between his innocent “nice guy” persona and his carelessness with the platforms he endorsed led to a growing discrepancy between his real actions and the personal image he projected, while hundreds of thousands of his viewers were being defrauded, due to Sparkles having them think they were legitimate and trustworthy.

A Master at Covering Up His Dirt
After the CSDODiamonds scandal blew up, Sparkles was very quick to private all of the videos mentioning
it, continuing as if nothing had happened. From this point forward, he would adopt this strategy: turn
private every video of his promoting a scam, never apologising for what he had done and moving onto the
next scam.

Mass Promotion of Scams
Realising the amount of money he could make by promoting these skin casinos, Sparkles took on deals from

balances.

The CSGORoll Scandal
Sparkles began promoting CSGORoll, a skin casino that operates a Ponzi scheme, enticing users into
investing in its ''perpetuate'' free daily cases by gambling. If this was not enough, they also
consistently hunt down users for ''Real-world Trading'' and lock out millions in balances.
