Topic: Day streaming as gambler experience (Read 1090 times)

If you really want to get success as a streamer then I suggest you to be honest with the audience who follow you. These days most streamers are looking to make money for themselves and for that they misguide their viewers and give them false hopes that can't be in real. It's much better to be honest with your viewers and that will help you for long term.

If you are an affiliate of a certain platform at the same time that you are a streamer then it would really be an advantage on which of course it would really be understandable that they would really be hiring you up considering on the network you do have then exposure would really be more widen and this is really that something good for the business. As for the agreement then this is something that in between parties and speaking about ethicality then this is something that comes into personal point or view. As part of marketing then i dont really see any issues in regarding to this as long you dont
make yourself to be  that obviously deceptive or giving out those kind of too much positive and false approach then you wont really be getting any issues into the community.

Personally I have nothing against advertising gambling since it's a legitimate activity. It's your hustle and you're not breaking any rules with your engagement in it. Whether we like it or not people would always patronize what's important to them and those who are interested in gambling activities would always patronize gambling channels.

For expanding your channel, you can speak to a social media marketing professional, so he helps you manage and promote the account properly and grow a great audience. The only advise I'll give is to keep a strict business approach to your page, don't get addicted to gambling so you'll still have your head straight to deliver on your terms.

This is the reason why I despise many influencers here in our country right now.
A few years ago, I've been following many influencers that are focusing on playing online games (mainly MOBA games), because I've been playing it as well and I want to learn from them. Now, most of them resorted to "the plague" that's been spreading online and that is to promote online gambling without thinking of their followers and the possible effects of it towards them.

On the other hand, even though I despise all of them, I can't change the fact that they're doing it because they have a family behind them. When they're playing those MOBA games, they're not being paid by the company by promoting the game. In promoting the gambling casino, they're being paid I think per video stream or on a monthly basis. I mean if you're a small influencer, you will really take the opportunity of being paid just by promoting the casino so I don't blame them. It's just that, they're doing it because of how hard life is currently.

Whatever the case is, it's already on many social media platforms and there's no stopping them currently, so it's up to us if we will be curious, follow them and gamble as well or just remain as a viewer.

In most countries gambling is not illegal, but there are places where streamers who advertise casinos have to follow some guidances to avoid children watching their videos and things like that. But it seems that the OP is not worried about the legality of doing it, but ethics.

Dewi Aries explained it well: if you are honest and explain the audience from time to time that gambling is not only about winning money and having fun but it also poses serious risks, you will get some of the peace of mind that seems you need.

BTW, I don't know if it has been mentioned already, but I've been told that some pornstars have also started to place casino ads in their videos. Hard to beat for the OP and other content creators, if companies start putting their money in that industry to advertise them instead.

You are correct because people needs to understand the positive and negative effects of it before jumping into it because lot of people can't really understand how the system works but when there winning and people keep showing that part without the opposite, if they venture and turns out the other way they could see the creator as someone who just lured them into that activity maybe just for a purpose of what he could get immediately. There are people who are yet to understand the techniques involved in gambling and should be thoroughly put through for them to understand.

I think overall it is clear that gambling is an activity that has a bad stigma in most of society, meaning I can't say that promoting gambling like you are doing now is a good thing, everyone has their own perspective, but if that is your choice then maybe I would say it would be better for you to first explain to the audience on your channel about the negative side or risks in gambling activities, don't just promote something that looks tempting but you also have to be neutral by explaining the negative side, and with that then maybe I would say that you are a professional content creator in promoting something.

That could be true but we never know for sure. We can only see what they do with that money. They play slot game, lose and win comes many times and make people wants to follow what they did. That makes many people figure out how they can win much money like the streamer. They don't know what is happen behind that streamer.

If people doesn't think about not to follow what the creators do and just watch their gambling activity, they will lose the money and even will make them bankrupt easily. If we can find an honest streamer, we should be happy because we can sharing to them and ask many things about the game and with their win money. Maybe we can learn how to be a streamer like them so we can earn money and we have additional income for ourselves. So be careful when you watch the streamer and make sure that you don't gambling excessively if you want to follow them.

We need to be careful not to expose children to such content but gambling streaming might be a source of revenue for people. There are also several means by which parents can protect the phones of children from these gambling ads. Most of these gambling streaming sites are helpful to gamblers because they teach betting strategies.  

I am also of the opinion young adults should be educated about gambling because they might learn it from other sources. It will be better for parents to teach children the dangers of gambling addictions before they are exposed to betting by other people. If they have a home education about it, they can easily overcome peer or even social media pressures.  

Indeed, I agree with you, what matters with gambling promotion and gambling streaming channel is your audience, your country regulation, and your drive. Every industry has their audience, every product has their audience, everybody is not your audience.

So your audience matters, maybe your channel could have age restriction, so if they are not up to eighteen, they can't access your channel or something like that, then you are good to go.
Your audience will equally be people that are interested in gambling, people that either play it for intellectual flexing, or profit, or whatever reason why they play it.

As long as what you are promoting is not, luring them to spend all their money in a game that you obviously know will not give them profit.
As long as you are genuinely streaming games and you are not lying to them to get money out of their pocket, then you are good.
And also, if your country does not restrict gambling, you are good to go.

And if you have drive for it, it's something you enjoy doing, so you will be able to do it for the long run.
Someone in the thread said they were gambling streaming, but lost interest after two years, they wanted something else.

So it depends on you, can you sustain your gambling channel? Are you promoting the right thing? Is your country in alignment with it? If yes, then you are good to go.
Promoting gambling is something of choice.

You can add a disclaimer in all your streams that gambling should be done only within your budget and should be treated as a form of entertainment.
This way you will be making a good impact on others and won't fall in trouble if any mishap happens.
You can also upload advices on how to treat gambling addiction or share stories of gambling addicts and how to prevent it from time to time so that your viewers are aware of how to prevent gambling addiction.

Nowadays, if you promote gambling, it is not a good thing to do because there are many platforms that can be used where many children or minors will see, like Facebook, where there are many ads that will appear there that are gambling promotions.

Even on YouTube, so for me it's better not to be on platforms like the ones I mentioned; it's even better that we know how to gamble or just keep it to ourselves; this is just my opinion.

I tried to stream games a long time ago, and I thought that I could play them for a very long time, but it turned out that after 2 weeks I got tired of talking, and I just wanted to play. I got tired of doing this, I had a wild desire to be silent. Then I realized that I could not do this, a streamer needs to love what he does so much that he does not get tired of it. And do it often enough so that he is not forgotten and so that he can compete with other streamers. Perhaps more young people will be able to do this, but perhaps long sitting in front of the computer threatens physical inactivity and other diseases. Therefore, it will be necessary to balance it with training in the gym.

Promoting gambling is simply not an easy task.You trying to stream gambling so you can receive support from viewers and interested individuals will definitely cost you lots of attention and scrutinization.
You'll have to stick to legitimate sources that are thoroughly secured, trusted and reputable.In other to achieve your preferred gambling streaming experience for your viewers. This same method have also scammed and jeopardized so much gambling enthusiasts on a roller coaster.Your intentions to be realistic and transparent will virtually mobilize and facilitate an enjoyable and accessible advancement to wide range of an people.

OP has said that his country has limited internet speed even though he uses the best network service, I think the global internet service standard has reached the medium network standard so the internet service is not too bad for creators to do streaming activities.

I actually don't want to say this, some creators are given demo accounts for the purpose of attracting many users from their followers and viewers, those accounts have a high chance of winning to cheat viewers. However, many creators are honest and they review honestly even though they receive promotional offers from casinos.

This is a difficult situation. Many influencers are actually deceiving their audiences but you dont realize it soon enough. Anyway the audience is often brainwashed in the sort of way that they cannot accept the "influencer" to be a thief, but takes on them as some sort of God. This is a psychological problems that arises with one person having followerships. Some of them become mindless drones and oust that whistleblower.

I never trust influencers, rather use my own experience but there are gambling related youtubers out there who are doing ok. Anybody can become one of such these days with practice and dedication, hence the quality of content has become poor.

I absolutely  agree with you, shifting from one network provider  till you get the best is very important as a streamer to ensure smooth and successful streaming like live streams. And the most important part is that you keep a good and friendly relationship with your audience, try as much as possible  to give reply to all questions, that will also create a good relationship between you and your streamers. And one mistake most content creators make is, they over hype gambling to the extent that most newbies are being misled to thinking that gambling is an easy way of making money, whereas  they are not being told the truth about how everything is centered  on luck. My advice  is, be exceptional and tell the truth.

We know that now bullying is on every where and that can happens in the public such as social media. When someone telling his bad story to public, many people will bully them especially if people cross check the story and gets the truth behind that story. Those people will saying that those who were deceived suppose know from the beginning so they don't have to gets that bad experienced. Okay, maybe they will not concealing everything from everyone all the time but they will not tells the details to public. You can imagine what he will do if many people in public bully him.

Public now becomes more sensitive and smart when they read a story on the social media and will not trying to believe it 100% especially if they don't know the details. Some people will investigate and share what they found to public and that can makes many opinion to that story.

We won't be able to control who is seeing our ads because the internet is so vast, so in my opinion, it will depend on the regulations of the country where we live. If gambling is not banned in your country, advertising gambling is not considered bad because we only advertise to people in need and we do not force anyone, so it cannot be considered bad. But if it is banned in your country then you will be considered as someone who spreads social evils and you are a bad person.

In addition, one thing we need to keep in mind is that we need to carefully check and evaluate the casinos that we cooperate and promote. We should choose and only cooperate with reputable gambling websites, not just for profit but willing to accept the promotion of scam casinos.

Why? Why wouldn't they tell about that in public if they were deceived by influencers? I don't understand your logic. I'm not saying that you are necessarily wrong, but from my personal experience people are not concealing everything from everyone all the time.

I'm positive that if a streamer was deceiving his/her audience, that would be made known to the public one way or another.
