Topic: Another post cautioning you of influencers - page 2. (Read 363 times)

These social media influencers are just concerned about making money. None of them are giving out humanitarian or free services to the public. 1xbet is a well-known casino that can pay these influencers a high amount of money to promote their services. Some of them don't care about the reputation of the form they are promoting because they are only targeting profit. It is also possible that Passenger Paramvir might not be aware of the fraudulent reputation of the casino, you can send him a personal message to inform him about the danger of promoting this casino.

I think to have made some important points. We shouldn't advertise or promote any service that we know can harm the society. We should also put ourselves in the shoes of people who will experience loss due to our actions. Money is not everything so we should not be blinded by financial gains and assist a firm in defrauding or scam the public. But sometimes these firms pretend to have good intentions only to rug pull or engage in exit scams.

I'll just him the benefits of doubts that he didn't know he was promoting a scam casino and didn't do his due diligence about the casino before he promoted it, also the promotion mightn't be official but a referral partnership as most influencers are now promoting anything with their referral links to get commission. Influencers that just shared a platform without asking you to use them aren't to be held responsible for any action you take but you see those that bet their life on the service or products that they're promoting, those are the ones that we can hold responsible. Ordinary, influencers are just creating awareness about a service or products and you don't have to believe anything they say until you do your diligence. It's just like signature campaign been promoted on the forum, you shouldn't patronized any because someone of high reputation is wearing it (sometimes they haven't had any negative encounter with the platform so they believe it's legit).


In my country 1xbet 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 peoples 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 acholic 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.

Most of influencers if no gambling or crypto background doesn't know the reputation of the site they promote. They are just promoting it like normal thing they do, they don't even care if some people might be in trouble since their main intention is to get some cash on the site they are promoting on.

So for this anything being said by this guys should not taken seriously since we all know their intention is to hype people around to play that site and we should take proper precaution dealing anything on what they said so that we cannot get easily fool around by false promises of easy way earning money if we used the link or codes provided to us since this is just another level of referral profit gaining on their side. Lastly as you said we need to do proper research regarding on the background of this casino or anything they promote so that we may know how good or bad the feedback given by people who experience something while using their site.

First of all, no influencer asks you personally to come watch their videos or like their posts. You as a consumer, go and watch it for your own entertainment.

And I personally don't mind if someone is making money by sharing their content for free of cost. It's not charging you as a viewer anything and person creating content gets funds to keep on making more videos and content.

You never say this for any TV channel or a website where you are forced with ads, do you?

So what you expect Youtube need to do with the influencer that promoting 1xbet? they did nothing, this forum is same since the moderators aren't ban users who wear signatures about scam project.

You can do anything you want here e.g. promoting scam project, promoting the project you don't know how it works, promoting the project that you hate etc. Just remember there's a punishment.

A reputable manager will do their due diligence. If I plan to apply for a campaign run by reputable users, whether or not I have interacted with them, I will do very little by way of research before doing so for two reasons, one of which is what yu pointed out;
- The manager will have done their due diligence and I trust their judgement,
- And the other reason is that there is no guarantee even after researching cause projects can go rogue at any time, even after several weeks of building their reputation.

If the campaign is run by a non reputable user, it will get far more scrutiny.

There is nothing wrong on the side of the youtuber, he was paid to advertise a gambling site 1xbet (1xbet is not a scam) and he did that as agreed .
He made the promotion to create awareness to the public and i believe he never forced any one  to use the site, it is optional, you decide if to use the gambling site or not

Thanks for warning, i changed words somewhat to reflect my position better.


It wasn't a defense, i just added it as it came into my mind while writing the topic. I'm aware of warning given on tobacco packets, and it's the exact point I'm implying in topic. Dyor, do not heed anyone blindly.

I don’t believe most of the videos I see on YouTube. No matter how popular and honest I think you are, most of the people who create videos on YouTube are just doing it for their own selfish interests, all they care about is the money they will be paid. He agrees to market for 1xBet without doing proper research about the gambling site, maybe it’s a legitimate site or a scam site, or maybe he knows that the site is a scam site, he just decides to ignore that and still decides to market for them just because of the amount that he is going to be paid. He doesn’t care if people end up falling victim as long as he is being paid.

I have seen different signature campaigns that have been stopped by managers just because they are being accused of scams. Before a manager launches any signature campaign, they will have done a proper invention about the signature campaign which they are about to launch, and if after launching a campaign, the site is being accused, the manager will immediately put a stop to the campaign. The investigation, which you should do, the manager will have already done it before accepting to promote the project, if they notice any red flags, then they won't even accept the offer. But its still better to do your investigation before joining any signature campaign and if you notice anything suspicious, you can inform the manager.

You cant blame the guy for not knowing the bad reputation these guys have around the internet, because firstly his not a gambler, secondly these are the kind of gigs these guys look for to get easy money!

Besides, I have noticed on how aggressive 1xbet is with promotions and using the most happening influencers currently in so many different countries and surprisingly nobody puts them to their defense with the bad reputation!!

Otherwise the onus is on the player to do his/her own research and make an informed decision on what services to use or not.


Like how you come out to defend yourself with the tobacco promotion  , and to add on this the manufactures themselves do put tobacco is harmful to your health which leaves all this on the user making the right decision as an adult 

1X Corp N.V is the parent company, they have other subsidiaries out of which 1Xbit and 1Xbet are part of it. The parent company has its own set of controversies. It is better to stay away from any online casino that startes with 1X.

Indian Youtubers are least bothered in checking the background of the sponsoring organization. They only think it as another opportunity of earning with their YouTube advertisement revenue. Indian influencers do not get high ad revenue like their counterparts based in the West. Then India doesn't have any law at the moment that can put influencers behind the bar for promoting scam. Many celebrities have also promoted scam projects in the past resulting in huge loss of public money. They are still roaming freely.

a lot of these influencers don't really care what they advertise, as long as it is legal and they are getting paid for it, then it is good for them.

this also reminds me of a thread created by one of the forum members where a Filipino YouTuber advertised 1xbet on one of their videos, what's worse is that those Filipino YouTubers are very popular in the country and most likely have a lot of underage audiences.

from what I remember 1xbit and 1xbet are owned by a parent company but 1xbit now claims that they have a new management and are not connected to 1xbet and its parent company.

1xBet is actually a legitimate (not recommended) and different casino from 1xBit we know from bitcointalk. But there are some evidence that both are run by the same parent company.

It's subjective but my preference will be not promoting anything that causes others to lose their money because I have to be honest with the people whom I am influencing which may not look attractive but trust me in the long run it will pay you off.

But I get your point and I totally agree with it, no matter who says what, we should not trust our money without any research done by us and make sure it is what actually and whether it benefits me in any way.

This guy is just making money by advertising this site. In the same way, he makes money by posting his videos on YouTube. Many people are only concerned about this. They will advertise whatever they get paid for. This is why I don't trust YouTube. Whatever is placed there must be subject to verification. At one time, I spent a lot of time watching many videos about how people on the forum, participating in bounty, made millions. But everyone grows up one day and stops trusting those who care only about their own interests. Do you think YouTubers, when they say something in their videos, are doing it selflessly?


Be careful . Almost the same thing was said recently by another forum participant, after which a drama flared up, which still cannot go away.

You are trying to say as forum member people should not mind the site is scam or not but they just have to promote it after the forum has warned against members promoting it? Well this is true that no law holds anyone but technically they are luring users of this forum and to those who don't know about the site to start making use of it even though they are scam it doesn't affects its promoter right?

To me it shows how selfish they are for not at least making this forum a better place for other people as bitcoiner, this shows you can encourage scam on the forum right? actually we know that the forum doesn't moderate scam but we the active users should try our best to eliminate scam and make this place home lovable by everyone and not a place to be recording more scamming people and their projects.

The question is does the well known youtuber has a any basic knowledge that such site he is promoting is a scamming one?

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.
