Heh, saw this one many times when I was allowing ads for this site. :P

I don't think it's about SG and google shows ads about what you googled recently.

Not really. I could see ads about cheats too and I've never searched for cheats. I could also see ads about chairs and other shit. :P

You might google things about CS:GO on google or searched them on youtube. I mostly see G2A, hardware and car ads because I google about games, hardwares and cars.

The ads that you see are based on your browser history .. So my question is .. why do you want to cheat .. there is no fun in a game if u play with cheats..

Maybe his search was about CS:GO only...
Edit: Just went and checked a random giveaway and I have the same ad.
I don't even own CS:GO, but I follow the esports scene casually and visit the subreddit daily.
So, you don't need to search for cheats for that ads to show up.
I ended up reporting the ad for being inappropriate and now no ads show up, guess that was the only one that they had in rotation for my region, which is not surprising since I get the same ad for days on end.

Never saw that one. Ads are tailored according to your browsing and searches history. It's likely you searched about CS:GO, or even just cheats (single player ones or whatever) and Google snatched that data.
I suggest reporting the advertisement as I doubt it's okay to advertise for CS:GO cheats.
I have advertisements for cars, TVs, and web-design, but no cheats. :P

I've reported cheats, G2A, etc, and Google outright dismissed me each time (Each time they say they can't help me, and then redirect me to the exact same form page I initially used to contact them, claiming that this is a different form use to contact a "higher team". I swear it comes across like the support you'd expect from a scam site). As such, I don't think they care in the least.
(If anyone finds a way to more functionally get in contact with them, do let me know.)
That said, I've gotten G2A pretty regularly from Google Ads on any site related to gaming; from my experiences, Google ads seem to influence their ads less by way of browsing history, instead primarily basing them on [google search style] tag association. Honestly, though, I haven't seen an ad which at all relates to my browsing history in years now (and as Starwhite notes below, I rather often see ones which clearly don't match it in the least). So perhaps somewhere among anti-spyware, anti-virus, and adblock, I've got something preventing it from getting history off me, which is causing it to get confused due to lack of available reference.
(In fact, considering the matter, I'm pretty sure my anti-spyware does in fact do that.)

Tried what I get and it was some scammy casino ad, never searched for anything even related to casinos or gambling, so that rules that silly theory out.
