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?
Here in my country, there are celebrities who own betting houses, but this is not public knowledge. They keep advertising them and are under investigation. Some have even been arrested for money laundering.
But you raised a good question. If they are from suspicious casinos or those that are just starting out, it's very likely that they use all possible manipulation aspects in games during streaming, with a manipulated bankroll always to win or with fictitious balances.
More serious casinos should not do this, or they do it less frequently, or they try to do more marketing that is within the law of a given region.
