Topic: Fake bets - page 23. (Read 2749 times)

I think almost all of the gambling site does it at their early stage to attract gamblers.
It wouldn't matter if it wouldn't affect their real gamblers bet if it wouldn't be rigged.
I think some of the old gambling site also have those fake bets or bots that keep on playing along with real gamblers to make it look that there are plenty of players.

Hi Roobet,
I'm curious; what's your logic behind sponsoring m0E_tv? I'm sure you're well aware of his shady activities in the past, and in the present.
If you want Roobet to be known as a reputable brand, I don't think you should be partnered with people like this.

I'm just disappointed.

I've been under the impression that this community is very efficient at imposing self-regulation by not supporting shady operators. It's disappointing to see how warmly the Bitcointalk community treats Roobet, despite them very clearly trying to take advantage of you by immoral means.

I'm glad that the community has at least some standards these days -- For example, they're very quick to call out and shoo away gambling sites that are not provably fair. However, in my opinion, the bar is still really low.

I understand your source of frustration, however since they are being open about it you cannot really say that they are being deceptive since everything is out there for people to understand that it is not real, however I agree that such promotion while it may help on the short term is not going to help them over the long term as people realize of its existence and they prefer to play in other casinos which don't engage in those practices.

Absolutely.

It seems to be common knowledge by now, hence why I didn't bother to list the evidence in the starting post. But, here are a couple of things to show:
1)
Roobet video uploaded 2 days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nyt-cgfKEbQ
Read the description: "All Balances you see on these videos is sponsored as part of my deal with the website."

2)
https://roobet.com/50k-pot-o-gold
Read the terms: "Sponsored funds will not reward tickets for the promotion."

If some people are still doubtful about this, I can spend some extra time to show more material. But, it should be quite obvious by now -- Pretty much all of their advertisers have somewhat admitted to gambling with monopoly money.

I believe this strategy is not new, this is just part of the marketing strategy, maybe some will say it's a bad strategy but some may understand. However, the most important is knowing the site is legit and has the license to operate as that means regulators can investigate and they need to comply with certain rules and regulations.

Anyway, thanks for bringing this reality OP, some may not know it's happening.

This is happening even in a land based casino, so it's not surprising that its happening in online casinos. It's a classic strategy for most gambling business as that's the best way to attract gamblers to play in their establishment (online or land based). It could be cheating but as long as no one complains with evidence, that would not make them guilty of facing any legal charges or whatsoever.

I guess it's important that every gambler has to be aware of this marketing strategy as its a basic thing to know.

Maybe because due to competition thats why some casinos might be doing this strategy to attract new users and gain more confidence. This type of marketing in unacceptable and I hope only few are doing this type of trick, but as long as there is no hard evidence they are innocent and clean. In the end what is most important is they pay winnings big or small.

I'm curious to hear what the Bitcointalk community thinks about this topic;

Casinos using fake bets to attract new players.

I was surprised to learn that the vast majority of videos and streams on Roobet.com are actually fake.
Here are a couple of examples of different deal formats that casinos are making with the influencers:

A) Bet amount inflation; The streamer only wants to gamble with $100. The site gives them "$10000" in funds, but only 1% of this is withdrawable. The viewers will think that the streamer is gambling with $10000, while in reality, they're only risking $100.

B) Infinite refills; The casino makes an agreement with the streamer. Let's say they want to pay the streamer $50,000 for a sponsorship contract. They start giving the streamer endless $1000 refills, which the streamer is supposed to gamble with. They will repeat this process until they "win" $50,000. The streamer will pretend to be shocked and highlight this big win in all of their social media channels. However, the truth is that there were zero risks involved for the streamer, and the final outcome was already known -- It was just a matter of time.

I brought this topic up in Roobet's Bitcointalk thread, and I was quite surprised to see a lot of people defending them, saying that this is totally justified. They mentioned points such as:
- "This has been going on for years. It's normal in the casino community."
- "The streamers are honest about it. They have a disclaimer somewhere stating that it's fake." (Their explanations usually are very indirect and abstract.)

In my personal opinion, this sort of marketing is highly deceiving and dishonest. Roobet (and other casinos) are inflating their systems with fake bets, pretending to be more popular than they really are. This is a loss for both, legit sites that don't want to inflate their numbers, and legit streamers who don't want to participate in the circus of fake bets and fake reactions.

What do you think?
