Playing Counter-Strike for cash: that makes it a job, right?

In a recent press release, Tournament.com announced they have struck a deal, becoming the only site officially licensed to host Half-Life 2: Deathmatch and Counter-Strike: Source matches with cash prizes. Players will be able to compete against others and even place small stakes on their own skills. Users’ skills can be viewed and monitored thanks to a ranking and handicap system, and to ensure responsible gambling, err…gaming, players are only allowed to stake $10 per match and can only deposit a maximum of $150 per month. That means you’ll just have to lose the rest of your money in Vegas.
