A lot of personalities has a large number of followers and subscribers on a different platform and one of the major targets of the platform who would like to promote are them, base on my experience in my country the Philippines there are a lot of influencers offering a small amount just to add gameplay of the casino in their videos imagine a three-minute vid and a 1 and a half minute vid related to a gambling casino. They don't really care because they are getting paid its all about the users who will join the platform its their risk. I don't know if theres a law related this that the influencer is the responsible for the possible damage might cause if no they are safe keep doing this marketing strategy.

So there is travel youtuber called Passenger Paramvir, he appears honest and genuine guy and I love his videos.

However, in one of videos that I watched recently he promoted the 1xbet which is obvious scam gambling site.

Now, I don't have anything on these guys, I'd do same in my signature, I wouldn't bother to research much about what I'm promoting as long as I'm having my payment.

Point being, do your own research before you do anything, don't heed anyone blindly, no matter how popular they may be. Here in India, popular actors promote tobacco without thinking what such adverts could do to their followers, and mind you people here are blind after Bollywood stars.

I just wanted to post, I'm aware there are countless such topics already.
It's our responsibility to do some research before we start using a platform or a service because it's our money that is involved and those influencers are not paying us money to be used on the platforms they are promoting, so we shouldn't be blind followers and only use the services and platforms that are legit and that can only be determined if we do our own due diligence. So even though they shouldn't promote scams, we can't completely blame them for it.

Most influencers or small-scale YouTubers don't really get a lot of sponsors for their videos, and when they get one, they basically just can't lose it because who doesn't need money, especially if someone is working full-time on creating content on YouTube? So, we shouldn't blame these YouTubers as they are not the root of the problem.

I'm really flabbergasted that you could think that way as someone who has spent more than half a decade in this forum. Listen, how do you expect newbies to act if they aren't guarded by veterans against such inimical projects and Ponzi schemes when we support such because of what we stand to gain from them. If we keep such a liberal or nonchalant attitude towards businesses that are widely accused of scam, more will spring up and more people will fall victims. That won't help in anyway to instill the purported sanity we crave in this industry.

Talking about doing one's research, that's true. I also advise that but then I've come to figure out that not everyone knows the right place to look if they aren't prodded.

There is no way for an influencer to know if the company or brand they are promoting is a scam or not until they scam people. Sometimes they would advertise or become their brand ambassadors without even knowing anything. Money talks here the most. The more money they pay, the more the influencer talks. I have seen many famous celebrities, actors, players, and influencers doing this kind of work. When a company scams, the blame goes to the person who promoted it.

But if we see someone advertising any company that has previously scammed or known for fraud, I would simply stop following that person. We can clearly see that the person is only hungry for money. & he or she would do anything for money. I despise these kinds of people. My piece of advice is that whatever you do, whomever you follow, whomever you like, if there is any financial deal involved, "Always do your own research" before investing.

In my country 1xbit is been prompted by most celebrities and not just influencers, I don't know the connection between both platforms (1xbet & 1xbit) but I believe they have been connected to be the same company yet many people are still using them because the influencers say so but we can't hold them responsible because they didn't force anyone to use the platforms. We also have influencers advertising alcoholic drinks that are harmful to the body when abused and tobacco too. It's like a normal thing for celebrities (influencers) to be smoking cannabis on social media even when they know their followers might copy them and it's so annoying seeing all this happen and yet nothing is been done about it. The world is fucked already so we owe it to ourselves to always do our due diligence on everything before use.
I have not come across a 1xbit promotion in the country but 1xbet, at first, I thought it was 1xbit, as it was a change of alphabet “i to “e. So, with the similarities in the name that looks fishy to me, and with the scam record that 1xbit has on the forum, I avoided any dealings with the site, but seeing big-name celebrities promote 1xbet in our country that what I'm still trying to understand if it legit or not.

Generally, These influencers are only concerned about the payment or the money they earn from promoting these sites or products, without considering the implications.

Of a truth I have seen many advert on this casino both on television and social media platforms. Mostly promoted by well known celebrities with hugh fan base. I was wondering if these celebrities have the knowledge and idea we have about this casino I do not think they would dare promote it aside those without conscience.

What they are just after is their stomach infrastructure. Always good at promoting a project or product without doing their proper research to find out more about what they are promoting. If only these celebrities can do this, I don't think they will agree to most of the promotional deals and offers that comes their way.

Some people know the way to stay very deceptive and show people the kind of character they would like to see in someone. They are very good at this act that they can actually deceive so many people and convince them into doing things. Many influencers and marketers are very good with this that is why I do not always trust them blindly. Once you understand that these people do not just promote anything with them being in contract with the other party to promote their service for an agreed money. The reviews from someone paid cannot be trusted, they will never talk about the bad side of things, but always will wear the fake face of all things good.

Influencers are free to promote what they want but they should research advertisers who want to work with them. This is so that the influencer's reputation is not damaged because they promote something that often deceives people. However, many influencers don't research because they are tempted by the big money they will receive for promoting advertisers' sites.

As lay people, we must research whether what is being promoted is what we are looking for or whether we don't need it at all. We are responsible for making the decisions so it has nothing to do with the influencer, as they are just doing their job.

However, influencers who care about their followers will research before accepting advertisers' cooperation. They will do research first and reject the advertiser if it turns out that it often deceives people.

Don't blame that influencer, most of they are paid to talk about any project or casinos, it's all about the money for them, only few of them cares more about their reputation than money and this man might not even be aware of the atrocities that 1xbet and 1xbit have caused in crypto and gambling space combined.

I am used to listening to influencers about crypto projects, I use them to get information as it makes things less stressful for me instead of doing the deep research myself, I have made some good and bad decisions following influencers and I have removed a few from my lists of trusted crypto influencers.

The thing is, you don't have to make decisions based on what an influencer said in their video, do not forget that they are also trying to make money, I remember Luna before the collapse, many YouTubers shilled the hell out of this project and after it crashed, some don't even bother to say sorry and some never talked about it again.

Because of this I actually treat anything that is being promoted by influencers with great suspicion, to the point where I treat anything promoted by them negatively, because I believe that good products don't need to be peddled by advertisers.

Everyone should have as a rule of thumb to check the reputation of the service they are about to use for the first time.

Thank you so much for your bringing this to our notice and I'm sure most of this promoters and Influencers do all of this stuffs just for the money considering how much YouTube and is likes get to  pay them and just we also promote signatures without doing proper research and that's why I always do my best to do some research before accepting to apply for a campaign because I've heard the news with the 1xbit company and it's campaigns where people earn red trust in their profile simply just for applying and I don't want to fall for anything as such.
Most of the influencers always make it clear that doing our own research is best and we shouldn't reply absolutely on the informations they pass.

Isn't the influencer's main purpose to earn money through their created article and videos?  It is not a surprise that these influencers will accept jobs to promote as long as they get paid and at the same time get paid by the ads.

I never follow any influencers nor believe all things they said without verifying it myself.  I watch them for entertainment purposes only and not to get influenced by what they are doing, or stating.  I see influencers as entertainers after all, I have known that they will do everything as long as they are getting paid.

Although they both have the same parent company, Ixbit, and 1xbet  are two different companies meaning they have separate management.
I have not heard any bad reviews about 1xbet but the rate at which they have been so aggressive in their marketing makes me skeptical.
Almost every influencer at one point in time has done a gig for 1xbet. I have not heard any bad reviews about them so my skepticism towards them is just a personal feeling.

In this case, you can't blame the YouTuber because 1xbet sponsors a lot of big sports clubs so I guess he won't mind if they're legit or not since they're already that big.

If they really care for other people or they want people to support them or believe in them then they shouldn't promote something that could something to tbeir followers like promoting scam sites but if they doesn't care about their reputation then that's what they are going to do where they will accept such thing like promoting 1xbet as long as they qre getting paid. That only means those people only care about getting paid even though they are promoting a scam site. This only makes doing your own research useful against people who are promoting something so to avoid getting yourself scammed by scammers.

Influencers have no chills with the outcome or effect of their promotion on their fan base or followers. As long as they have their pay to do their work it is non of their business what the result my look like. You made mention of 1xbet being promoted by a youtuber, that is the case when someone is not aware of the content or product they are promoting. We here know very well the 1xbet casino and the pending questions begging for answers which they are yet to respond to. If the youtuber had done his or her research, it would have been clear for he or she to know what to do but as they are not,  they feel it is a good market for them but what is there now is that those who are  fully aware of such product will do away with it better still ignore the promotional content.

We promote a site, product and various businesses on our channel because there is an agreement between us and the second party regarding how long and how much we are willing to pay. This is a professional in a service.

I wouldn't have the heart if, solely because of the amount of payment we receive, I would be willing to abandon research about who would be promoted. If a business asks me to advertise their company after a search turns out to be a project I know to be a scam like 1xBit, I'm a bit reluctant to accept it even though I know I'm getting paid.
Money or pay is important and that's what I'm looking for, but there are other things that are not implied that are more important than money.

May I remind you that social media influencing is a also called self-employment. There would be no need to be influencing of you cannot make money of off your personal branding. I do not blame them at all most of them don't have core values or principles that guide them so they accept gigs from every Tom, Dick, and Harry not minding whether it destroys or brings harm to their followers or not.

First of all, what makes a youtuber different from a forum member signature os that.

           Youtube influencer
 Youtuber is preaching to you to buy what he is selling directl6through his commemts, suggestions and promotions, so his goals for making the videos is to convince you directly through his words to buy whatever scam he is selling and dont care about your money as long as he get paid to do so.


       Signature campaigns
On the other hand, a signature campaigns member, make his independent comment, and contributes to general discusions constructively and must follow forum rules in communications, this make him free from representing the company he wears the signature.


That is why, we always make the statement to do your own research because the forum doesn't moderate scam to give everybody fair chances and freedom but do your own independent inquiry before you make any deal with whatever company that is promoted here.

Was it 1xbet or 1xbit casino? I’d have to go back to the accusation thread on 1xbit casino, I remember someone linked 1xbet as the parent company of 1xbit. I’m not so sure right now, one thing I do know is that most influencers do not do their research before taking promotion gigs. Their aim of posting content and doing whatever they do online is to attract such business. It’s no surprise that they do not think twice before signing promo deals.

There is always some degree of humor in your posts, I hope your comment regarding signature campaigns doesn’t get dragged to reputation board.

I think it's safe to say that given the right motivation, people can promote even the most insane projects with full intentions. And half the time, they don't use try the project themselves to experience what they're promoting to their users. That said, it is important for users to take whatever information they get and do their own research before delving into it. There are tons of influencers like this on Twitter and I used to hate the players but a wise man once said that you shouldn't hate the players but hate the game.
