    I don't know about casuals but people pay for ranked matches all the time in every game. Mostly for cosmetics because every game end of season ranked has a reward system. Some people don't care enough about the actual ranking just want the rewards. I've also seen it multiple times on Apex,Overwatch,CSGO. They sell "boosts" and rank people up super quick in exchange for cash (No idea on pricing but that seems about average) 

    Nothing new really some people may have not known but if you've been PC gaming for awhile you know boosts have been a thing whether from pro players or hackers so that you can easy climb and/or get rewards. This is all without the risk of being banned because it's impossible to prove your que'ing with someone on purpose to do it, I mean you can't even report your teammate for hacking anyway the only options that show up are harassment and meaningless report functions. I say meaningless because I don't think I'll ever hear a story of someone being banned for racism/homophobia/harassment it just doesn't happen on online FPS games or else no one would play because majority love to trash talk and half would be banned lol. Never understood why you can't report teammates for hacks.

    But in short yeah this is pretty standard no idea why anyone would pay for a boost in casual where it has no bearing but as for ranked that's been going on since day 1.
