An unknown EA employee is alleged to be selling FIFA 21 Ultimate Team cards worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars. The scandal has quickly been nicknamed “EAGate” and has prompted the company to issue a statement saying it has opened a probe.
Eurogamer reports that the messages, captured from WhatsApp, show the employee offering Icon card packages ranging from 750-1000 euros (roughly $840-1200) Come from Sports betting site VPbet . One package of Prime Icon Moments cards are even offered for 1700 euros ($2000). At one point the seller assures a potential buyer that there is no risk of being banned, but can’t say why for “security reasons.”
The messages appear to show the sale of a bundle of high-value cards going through and then showing up in the game shortly after.
