But a lot of people are saying that they are using fake accounts, like a testnet account with fake balance inside so they can use it to play and live it, how true is this?
Yes, I believe that can be true because I've personally seen those streamers spending a lot of money on bets and they even lose some money sometimes and make a lot at other times only to show that how good they're at gambling. It's better to avoid those streamers to be safe from losses.
That would be one way to do it. This gambling streamers aren’t doing that just because of the gambling alone but, what they stand to get from streamers. Not to mention that, some of those streaming would like to seek them out on how to go about gambling aside from just streaming them. Some would even go for subscription packages if they allow one and just like that, they have more than one way to making money for themselves while, they could be gambling on demo all along. A few might use real money but, it could be the money generated from streamers, who knows.

Of course, it may be that streamers play from pre-prepared accounts that are designed to play for a large audience. After all, if a player lost all his money quickly, no one would be interested in watching him. In addition, the minimum bets on slots are of little interest to anyone, so I think this phenomenon is quite common. These streamers want more and more people to watch them, because this is how they get their income from the gambling platform, so they will try to do a lot to interest their audience. And this can only be done with strong losses and wins, emotional swings are what viewers need.
I agree with you, steamers main aim is to attract viewers, they often highlight their big wins and thus create excitement among the viewers to gamble, Steamers make everything look like it's really easy to win, And with that in mind the visitors started gambling in the casino under the guidance of those steamers, and they always end up losing. So one should be careful while watching such content, and understand that what is shown in the video and how easily they win, it will never happen in reality ever.
That's why I don't watch them and won't do it in the future, because they program us to play anyway. The only thing is that I can only watch 1 poker streamer, whom I've been following for about 10 years. But I quit poker a long time ago and don't play, I'm more interested in his life and what countries he travels to, as well as how he shows his life. But I like his calmness and reasonableness, and the game is just an addition. In addition, the logic of decision-making is interesting, but still, despite this, I don't watch it for more than 30 minutes and then only if I remember about him)

Most likely, this is true, because the statistics of streamers' winnings are always higher and this is alarming. I recently wondered why people are only interested in watching these streamers? And I realized that, in fact, when we watch him, then before our eyes this person's life can change because of the jackpot. And this is interesting, because especially if we know that this guy has a hard life now, then we will subconsciously make him win.
Even myself do really have that kind of question on why other people would really be that so interested when it comes on watching out people or those streamers playing time specially on slots game on where pushing up those roll button doesnt sound to be that fun rather than you are the ones who are really that playing on. Although each person are really that different when it comes to interest and preferences on different things including gambling. Newbies are usually that easily getting hooked by this because they will really be having those initial impressions that they can also make money on the moment that they do play slots, but on the moment that reality would be slapping into their faces then this is where realization do really kicks in.

Playing gambling should really be just that for fun and if you arent that good when it comes on controlling your emotion then this is where issues do usually comes out. Better be watchful with the decisions that you are making and not really just that easily getting that becoming greedy so that you wont really be ending up on having some issues in regarding about financial. We do usually taking up some actions on the moment or time that we do experience unfortunate conditions and not really making up some step to avoid it out at least and able to stop those potential disasters that would come up into you.

All streamers are in one way or another fabricating something. Maybe it just differs by to what extent they lie about but they can only manipulate what they show us. Why do people still watch these streamers? Maybe they find it entertaining or maybe they are just trying to get some ideas about the platform or specific game the streamer is trying.

If you want to watch these streamers, take everything they say with a grain of salt but it can still give you some vague idea about whatever it is you want to learn about by watching other people try it.

Some streamer might be really caring for their audience.

But for the most of them, let us think that they don't really think at all for their viewers and neither care too. So, it's all about driven potential and profit making for them.

That is the reality and people needs to understand that they need to do it for themselves as they need to earn too.
Well, they really care about their audience, and you know how these streamers care for their audiences. By giving away some money for those who registered under their referral link. Cheesy Funny, right? That's what I see in most of the streamers currently, but in general, that's their way of showing their care for them.

What I said is a sarcastic one because at the end of the day, rewarding your audience isn't enough for a person that got addicted because you as a streamer introduced online gambling to him/her. I've seen posts on Reddit regarding a person who got addicted to gambling just because the influencer that he idolizes streamed online gambling on his Facebook page, and since he idolizes that streamer, he registered on his referral link, gambled, and lost everything.

As for the fact that they're doing it because they need to earn as well, it might be true, but you can't change the fact that these streamers are partly the reason why there are many gamblers that are getting addicted into online gambling. There are some of their followers that can easily attracted to easy money hence, they'll gamble. Can't blame though because it's their decision. Still, these streamers are partly to blame why there are gamblers that are miserable right now.

True, and even if they are losing in their streams, they still get paid by the casino owner, so it's still a win-win for them. Unlike us who only sees the shallow part of their streaming, and just easily believe that gambling could be the answer of our financial struggles. That's when we bet, we always want to give our best shot in order to make huge returns as well, but that is not how gambling works. The edge remains in the house, while we consistently lose and used up our hard-earned money.
If we know about that, we don't have to have a big hopes to win like them because we will still difficult to win. We can only play any gambling games and enjoy it while we have our spare time. Those streamer can win because of the casino back up them and arrange that so the streamer can give an interesting entertainment related to gambling. They just give an entertainment and fun and not fueling addiction because we control ourselves when playing gambling. But if you think that you can win like those streamers, you will feel difficult to win because you are not those streamers.

Of course, and I think if for example from the beginning we already know about the reason why a streamer always easily makes money or big wins in gambling then I think it is impossible for someone to feel too tempted by the big wins achieved by the streamer which indirectly will also make them avoid various aggressive actions because they already know the truth. Basically, these streamers are just doing their job (although it is full of manipulation) but I am sure that if you were in their position you would also do the same thing by getting money from the offers given by the casino. So in the end the point is that we are the ones who have to be smart and wise in responding to everything we have just found, simply if for example you feel that what you see is unreasonable then don't make a decision right away.

So, we can say they're injecting the wrong ideas about gambling into their audience. Of course, casino owners hire them to make money, and these influencers are also determined to trick new gamblers into big profits. Their portrayal of easy wins is incredibly captivating, but what most people don't realize is that it's just not how real gambling life works. I get their perspective, but honestly, it's not a good look. I promote gambling responsibly instead of showing them things that are certainly impossible.
That is the main goals, they streamers do everything to get paid money and can earn more bonuses while casinos employ famous people to promote their gambling sites by becoming an effort to introduce gambling sites more widely and get more customers, there will be more money coming in and circulating in the gambling site bankroll when all these efforts are successful.
Moreover, in business there is no such thing as right or wrong, if you are businessman you will definitely do some things that have the potential to develop it even though some other people consider it wrong and excessive.
I don't trust streamers but after all they work and that is their profession.

No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small
Why people get into gambling. They believe it is an easy way to make money. When they weren't able to achieve it, they looked for different sources available around them. This is how many people start watching the streamers. For the streamers, it is like a profession. We can't blame them. We need to understand the reality and make decisions on our gameplay. Even I've tried different tricks following streamers. At the beginning I don't have the proper understanding. Later only realised and started to do it on my own, as luck is the only deciding factor of our winning.

Desperate to find ways to have some advantage, a kind of mindset that most gamblers have in mind. Thinking that with the help of those streamers they will be able to take some knowledge and will give them some opportunity to win, but the fact remains those casino owners are willing to pay someone to bring traffics and referrals to add more potential clients that will going to lose their money while playing using the platform.

You need to keep in mind that streamers are just doing their job and they are more into the money side and they don't care about anyone as long as they are being paid and they are cashing out thier fair shares.

That is the reality and people needs to understand that they need to do it for themselves as they need to earn too.

But I'm sure that's just a few of them and the number can probably still be counted, more of them actually show everything that is tempting to the audience and their goal is only one, which is so that the audience does not hesitate to get involved and register there. We agree here, because after all, we often see people who are even willing to do anything just to get money, meaning it's very small for someone to miss such a good opportunity. So the point is, I think it all comes back to each of us, I hope that all of us, especially people who accidentally or intentionally watch shows from streamers, can always see everything we find from various sides and consider it first before making a decision, the solution in my opinion is only one, namely by being rational and wise when finding something new that we see, it is useful to keep us from making careless decisions.
That is probably the case and the solution.

It's true that we need to be wise if ever we find some streamers out there and trying to entice every viewer that they have telling to gamble on this specific sponsored casino of theirs.

But that doesn't mean that we have to unless you're a truly fan of that streamer, we're not in obligation to follow everything they say. If that guy is enjoyable to watch, just live it there as that.

Because in the end they only work and the way it works is to introduce sites that have paid them, regardless of whether it is fun or ultimately leads to addiction for both the streamer and the audience they will not care because when the contract has been made then the work must be done especially for those streamers I think addiction will only occur a little especially since they play not with desire like we always do especially we must be aware that the streamer's account is sometimes not the same account as we have (some cases like this) so they will not play using emotions and feelings but they play only because of work demands and regardless of those who do win or lose in the gambling that is done, they will not lose because they will be paid for the work (live streaming) they do.


I certainly agree on this. Livestreamers are just doing what their job requires in order to get paid and be in profits. As long as the audience get attracted and eventually play, that's already their goal, they won't be accountable anymore if ever addiction grows later on. That's actually the reason why I don't see livestreaming is an ideal job. Yes, it's the latest trend in the social media but I won't ever develop passion on this kind of job.


Because being in gambling is the persuasive right of everyone so that all are free to choose whether they want to gamble or not, including in the work done in the end because after all it cannot be denied that for some people with quite a lot of followers because they are considered big streamers, their presence on one of these sites will be an attraction in itself and this is a normal thing for promotion because not only small sites, even large sites dare to attract some big names who are used as brand ambassadors or just stream to make that their gambling is good.

As for the streamers, it is the same as us players because the choice is in their own hands so we also cannot blame them for accepting jobs as gambling streamers because they work and they are paid to do so where it is purely a job demand and the impact felt later for their fans will not care because they only show their activities on camera regardless of whether their followers follow or not it doesn't matter.

Even I think even if for example they only make their streaming activity as a side income but I think someone can be very greedy when they see an opportunity because after all everyone will be much happier when they can make more money even though the way they get it is in a way that might be said to be less good. In the real world, the competition to be at the forefront is very tight and that's why I think it's very unlikely for a streamer to care about the fate of their audience when they get an offer from a casino to work together, all they have in mind is how they can continue to increase their wealth, although on the other hand getting a lot of money from cheating or manipulating something looks too commendable but that's what happens in today's era, only we as the audience have to be more careful.

They are prioritizing money because streaming is their bread and butter for most of them. Although some just do it part time and that's the reason why they're certain with money.

As long as there's an offer, they'd like to get into it and that's how they make money easy through their hard work through streaming.

They don't mind the affected ones if there's an audience that losses money as long as they've done the proper marketing, that's their job done.

A Bitcoiner chooses. A slave obeys.
I just want to ask what you can say about most streamers right now who stream their activities on gambling like playing different kinds of gambling games like slot, baccarat, poker, etc. LIVE on their different social media platforms.

Here in the Philippines, a lot of big personalities in social media started to play gambling live using their platform, even if they were not that really into gambling before, most of you will see them start to play and for sure it's their promotion.

But a lot of people are saying that they are using fake accounts, like a testnet account with fake balance inside so they can use it to play and live it, how true is this?

Another thing I'm concerned about is their audience because for sure, most of their followers will see their stream and some of them are minor, is this also fine?

There are such people will promote anything, no matter how bad or good, as long as it earns them money. I do not mind when people promote casinos or gambling but once they start lying and making fake statements in order to lure more people, I consider it a bad thing.

So it all depends on how they are promoting gambling which makes the difference of whether they are fueling addiction or just fun.
