Like davis196 said, they don’t get addicted to gambling. They are professionals. Pros don’t lose control. They don’t get addicted. In every step they take, they exactly know what they are doing because that’s the definition of being a professional. That’s how they make their money.
It is them general public get addicted and lose their life savings because they have no control and they are stupid. They are the “amateurs”.
Topic: Do Online Gambling Streamers Ever Get Addicted to Gambling? - page 3. (Read 297 times)
Evidently YES because I watch a lot of streams and video about streamers turning to problematic gambler and lose all there funds in a single bet. This is understandable because they are always exposed to gambling and we know how addictive it was if you are doing it most of the time even if they are just doing it for stream. The problem is they still using real money and playing it in real life. They just stream it but that doesn’t mean they are different to typical gambler that don’t stream.
I think they can become gambling addicts if they can't resist or they feel very challenged if they lose and want to win,
indeed they were originally funded by the casino that used them, but I'm sure they will always use the money from their salary to promote the casino itself
like the saying "you can because you're used to it" and because it's normal that makes them addicted to gambling

Hasn't this topic been discussed in another forum thread a week ago?
1. Those streamers are probably promoting some casino, so they are basically gambling for free(the casinos pay them for promotion).
Maybe it's easier to get addicted to gambling, when you aren't spending your own money? I don't know.
2. I don't really think that the streamers are "doing what they love" all the time. Being a Twitch streamer is like having a job. You have to be consistent and do this every day. Some streamers get tired of this routine.
There's no clear answer to your question. Do you think that the Twitch gamers get addicted to gaming? I don't know, maybe some of them get addicted, while others don't. Gaming is as addictive as gambling. It's kinda difficult to spot an actual gambling addict online. Most gambling addicts are really good at hiding their addiction.

I have heard about online streamers and how they spend hours at their computer screen gambling and winning huge amounts of money. It looks fun because they get to earn money doing something they love. Positive feelings are generated when they gamble. Moreso, these gambling streamers also get a lot of views too. For example this this user - Coin_traderalready collated some data on how much viewers are interested in gambling streams compared to typical online games streams. However, with the little knowledge I have about the role that biological factors like dopamine and serotonin dysfunctions playing in fostering addiction1, I can't help but wonder if online gambling streamers ever get addicted to gambling. What do you think? And can the viewers who watch these streams tell if the streamer is addicted to gambling by observing some physical symptoms such as pale skin, weight gain/loss, acne and dark circles under the eyes?2
