Topic: Gambling Streamers. Are they promoting fun or fueling addiction? - page 14. (Read 4022 times)

Because in the end their goal (the streamers) does show it as their marketing considering that indirectly when they play one of the sites in plain sight of course we know that this is part of the marketing they run to attract new people so it is quite natural when they always show victory even actually drama that sometimes makes no sense with capital and bets that are too big to do without any guilt or regret at all when they lose.

So by looking at this, both people who are beginners in gambling or who already have experience should be aware that it is part of the marketing technique, it's just that when ambition and flow have been carried away they don't really think about it and try gambling from the same site even though the results we can definitely guess what it will be like.

Well, I personally think that a streamer's only aim is to have an audience and convince people to do what he says, what causes addiction? I don't think so, people have their own personality, addiction occurs because the person themselves allows it because they cannot control their impulses, their emotions dominate them and unfortunately they fall into addiction, for me a streamer does what he has to do to get everyone to do what he wants, that's what he works for and that's what casino sites, exchanges, among other things, hire him for, but we as thinking beings must be clear about what is good and what is bad.

Each steamer actually highlights their wins most of the time, When streamers show their gambling, if they play 5 games they win 4 games and lose only one game. And the exciting moments of that victory create a fascination among the audience. Meanwhile, there are many viewers who keep themselves in check, do not take such videos seriously, and are not interested in imitating the tempting offers offered by those steamers. But there are some viewers who take it seriously, Seeing the victory of the steamers also arouses the spirit of gambling in their minds, watching the streams makes them want to gamble, and they also want to gamble the same way as those steamers. But they never think that, as entertaining as watching steamers win, gambling in real life is as risky. And afterwards they gambled after the manner of those steamers, and lost everything. And after losing everything then they regret.

Streamers who gamble a lot live with many people watching are likely to have the goal of attracting or tempting many people to be interested and gamble at their casino, even though they don't show it, but indirectly they do it, because usually streamers show themselves getting wins that are quite surprising to many people who watch them. This is a natural thing.

Agree with what you said, whatever the streamer's goal will not affect the people who watch it if they are not serious about responding to it, viewers who take what the streamer does seriously usually will have a greater sense of interest, even though what the streamer does is actually a trick or manipulation, but for people like this they will take it seriously.

The streamers only gives entertainment to audience and will not responsible to anything that will happen to them. It is the audience responsibility to always aware of the gambling addiction that can happen to them so they must not try to follow what the streamers do if they think they can not control themselves. But I agree that the streamers should have morality about what will happen to their audience so they should warn them that playing gambling needs control and don't playing gambling excessively or too often. They can say that be careful when you playing gambling and always manage your funds that you will use to playing gambling

I agree with you, it all depends on our own perspective on what gambling is like, if we ourselves take gambling seriously then we will consider the victory obtained by the streamer as a reality, whether it is reality or not what is clear is that taking gambling seriously will bring a stronger attraction. But I think when they gamble using a testnet account and using real money, doesn't it look different?

What you said is true, of course those who are new to gambling or those who are still young will be easily influenced by the big wins that appear on the screen they see and that is sometimes considered easy to get, unfortunately all of that is sometimes not so in accordance with reality when we do the same thing even though we imitate the strategy from the streamer.

The aftermath of gambling depends on the person himself, whether he will treat this as for fun/entertainment or will be addicted to it. However, users should be very careful on how they will go about this activity as gambling can easily make a person addicted to it. At the end of the day, it is the individual himself who can assess his situation and decide whether he will traverse the addiction or he can contain his gambling activities.

Therefore, we as friends and parents or relatives should have a strong influence on them. Those who are not indifferent to us. We should be more authorities in the eyes of our relatives teenagers than streamers who show their fake luck and try to sell it as a clean coin. To do this, you need to work on yourself and have the strongest self-control, as well as be an example of moral fortitude.

Yup, as after they collab or accept that deal with the casinos they already been paid as promoters and they don't think of anything else just the money that they will be collecting from their paychecks, if they are fuelling addiction there's nothing that they will about since doing such actions is for the person itself to control, but morality wise, knowing that there are audiences that following and watching you, being responsible should also be accounted.

The correct term is "commissions", and not recycled money.

These commissions are coming from those gamblers who signed up using their referral link. That's why most of the popular streamers right now have huge amounts of money in their gambling account. There's one famous streamer said in a podcast that "He's getting huge money from commissions, but he's still investing his own money in addition to the commissions that he's getting." He's not addicted at all, and he also is saying to the public that "If you can't afford to lose when gambling, don't gamble at all." He might be promoting gambling in his channel, but still, he's preventing his viewers to get addicted.

Getting addicted is our decision. We can watch them, but we will be the one to decide whether we will gamble like them, or you will just watch them win and be happy with their winnings.

Recycle money? Could they have been made gamblers with tons of big wins that ended up collaborating with casinos through promotion. Additionally, they kind of explain gambling virtually to their viewers but a lot of them get it the wrong way. Which is trying to mimick the streamer instead of doing things their own way. The huge money they wager real or cooked up, isn't all they've got.

At least the video doesn't include where the influencer is sad over losing all his funds. Viewers are always required to play according to what they're able to afford.

Does a streamer promote pleasure or trigger addiction? I think it really depends on how a viewer responds to the shows made by the streamers, in the sense that if you misunderstand in responding to what and how gambling is shown by the streamers then of course in the end it is very possible for you to get addicted and experience various terrible things over time, while on the other hand if you really think that the big wins that the streamers get very easily are unreasonable then one day it is very possible for you to only treat gambling with the aim of seeking pleasure, so the conclusion is to always use a rational mindset every time you see something new that you find to minimize misunderstandings so that you are safe in the long run.

Actually some of the streamers may be working for the casinos, so if they promote addiction or not, it may not matter to them really, they are just rendering a paid service. Streamer literally do push traffic to these sites which for them means more money and like you stated it's very much possible the fan based if the streams who has benefited a few times will drive the traffic with his fan base so it's left to them to place a control on their staking methods. These streamers do have a strategy to recycle money so as to stay in the game which they don't show to fans always and fans get stocked and rather addicted than winning.

It all depends on the individual's perspective. Although some streamers may use testnet accounts and have bigger wins that are not in the form of cash, which you cannot be sure of. But what is equally important is that the viewers themselves must be aware of this considering that these shows may not always represent the reality or perception of gambling.

Because people, especially younger people are easily influenced when they see big wins or games that look 'easy' in a stream. That's when it becomes the responsibility of each individual to be able to answer that it is just a show and the wins in the process may not be entirely honest or may have been rigged. Awareness not to get caught up in the illusion of big wins or instant promises must always be emphasized so that every viewer can make the right decision and not be carried away by the perception

The thing i dont like with some streamers is that they do trying out to tell that there's some guarantee on winning on which tons of people getting fooled because of such claim and really that believe that this could really be something that will happen on the moment that they will really be playing on which this is really that a bad decision to make. Whenever you are really that dealing up with gambling then there's no one into this world would really be able to alter out their luck and able to win up specially that most of these streamers are really that focusing into streaming slot games.

You cant be able to see streamers that they will really be trying out to stream those sports betting picks or what but rather you do mostly see them on getting involved with slots and other casino games on which
the results are fast paced or simply instant. As part of marketing then of course they will really be making things as hyped as possible to hook up potential players on which they could successfully make someone to
register and made out deposits into that advertised company or platform.

They are really indeed fueling someones addiction but come to think that this is what their primary motive or job is to make out some exposure and trying to hook up people as much as they could.
They are the ones will really be that trying to give out that exposure and at the same time they are getting paid of it.

If a streamer show you a way to play and earn and you later try it out and then you win nothing, then I don't think it's worth following again. In my opinion, there are platforms that you will see that you don't need a soothsayer to tells you it's a lie, most often gambling streamers are more like influencers to me than people who show you how things work, you are likely to click their links many times than the money you are going to make from the things they show.

Fueling addiction can be true but that's for people who believe in the streamers, nobody can influence anyone unless they are ready to do it. The people we thought are been influenced already have their mind program for it, they are just waiting for the opportunity and gambling streamers are just one of the ways to quick gambling addiction.

That is a other point I have noticed about gambling streamers and their usual activity in streaming platforms like Kick and previously Twitch... Why always go for slots when there are so many kinds of gambling games they could go for, like blackjack, mines or Plinko, many of them also have a provably fair versión (Stake original games is a good example of it). My theory is that once they get a partnership with some casino they are encouraged to wager as much as possible in games which typically resolve in matter of seconds (like slots) instead going for games which take a couple of minutes and have more of an strategy element to them (being blackjack a good example of it). Since their partnership depends on the amount wagered, it is more convenient for them to go with slots.
Of course, that is just a personal theory I have, it be possible they just prefer to play slots in front of their virtual audience since it is by far more popular among gamblers than poker of blackjack, who knows...

Most teenagers failed in gambling because of lack of experience and the curiosity to make fast profits from gambling.
The well experienced gamblers know that it's not everytime winnings come to them and they are always prepared for the time when things might not go as planned. Teenagers will always been influenced by streamers and would want to have similar results on what they are seeing without knowing that Many of these influencers are paid promoters of the gambling sites they are promoting online faking most of the winnings.

I think gambling streamers are promoted to urge everyone to join in the worst kind of gambling, constantly spinning slots that are not provably fair with huge amounts of money.

Honestly slots aren't worth it at all for so many people because the minimum wager is like 0.2$ but you have to wager hundreds if not thousands of times to win anything significant, in the meantime you have lost more most of the times.

These are some dark pattern type of behaviours really. So I'd say if you want to get an idea of what gambling fun is, avoid streamers.

We will never know the real truth until there is someone who can prove it or maybe until the streamer tell about it publicly.
What I know is that usually streamers use money (real money) credited by the casino but there must be a deal behind it.
The most important thing for me is that I dont really care whether they are playing with fake or real money because I take them as entertaiment only.
What viewers need to have in their mind is that they should not be attracted to do the same thing as what they watch in the stream.
