Topic: Rise of Streamers in Online Gambling (Read 2417 times)

Not true. No way the gambling site will hire several streamers just to promote their site. And it's not that simple.

And besides, isn't it an obvious reason for let's say why the casino is funding their desired streamer? Of course to promote the casino intentionally. Why casino will spend money to support this streamer if it's not about their casino to be put on the content lol.

To your last point, of course, these streamers are doing content for money. Is there any other reason why they are putting effort into making content?

Not every streamers are directly connected to the platforms they play at. We can reach this conclusion by logically thinking there are hundreds or thousands of them, therefore it's impossible for casinos to pay all these people to promote their businesses in a daily basis. I believe a minority of them (the most popular ones) are paid by casinos, while majority of streamers earn through ads on their videos and referral comissions earned through the public who follow their videos. Maybe once small streamers grow in relevance and popularity, some casinos try to approach them to make a proposal...

this depends on how they communicate with their audience or how their audience relates to the streamer's situation when gambling. streamers(not just gambling streamers) don't just rely on how they always win to make content and keep their audience, they also rely on how they will make the losing experience enjoyable, relatable, etc...

Almost all of you agree that there are some honest streamers out there who share their experience in order to provide feedback, can you tell us how you came to that?
Streamers will not gain anything from publishing these recordings or displaying them to be shown later to the owners of the gambling platforms in the hope of reaching a profitable deal.
Since there is no way to be sure of this, the most plausible hypothesis is that the streamer works for the platform he uses, unless we find that streamer provides a negative evaluation of one of the platforms based on his experience, which is what I do not expect anyone to do.

I see Streamers the test guys, for example if a person has no experience in gambling, create an account and then that person sees many games in the casino and has no idea what game to play, how to play and what strategy to use , what advantage and disadvantage will this person have, what possible profit vs loss will this person have? so this person starting to watch the Streamers playing can be a great advantage for them, because with that this person will be able to have an answer to all questions, but of course this does not guarantee profit because the person should not do 100% copy/paste that what Streamers is doing, that would be a big absurdity, the person will only have the basis of how to do things. That's why I think Streamers are test guys

No, it wasn't the streamer's money. His demonstration of gambling activity with that money doesn't carry the same sentiment compared to the average user. They're typical high rollers on the house with no stress involved. Just makes their gambling action and experience seem hollow for viewers and doesn't reflect on the case. Viewers found enjoyment from that is beyond me.

correct! it's to hard to believe that they are worth it to follow because of a reason that they are promoting a platform, indeed at the first place it didn't make sense because everyone now is doing the same things especially the popular ones.  And obviously as well that even they play and even they lose money from it while streaming, surely afterwards they can earn more than what they risk, Probably 10x.? they really make as dumb tbh. Lol

Maybe it depends if they are lively and entertaining when they are casting their streams. It is all about the appeal of the streamers. If they can get the curiosity of their viewers then they can attract new players. But based on your reaction, it seems that they are not entertaining enough hence you question their ability to attract new casino players.

But then again, they are ex-professional gamers and porn stars, I am sure they have avid fans and followers they can entice to play. Who knows, different people have different tastes in things. Maybe to us, it is not entertaining and convincing enough but to others, it could be different.

I think the same, if a young person, or a child who is not old enough for games of chance sees them, it is remarkably the fault of their parents, for not monitoring or supervising what their children do, that is why when a minor commits an act of vandalism, sometimes they are not imprisoned but the parents, because they are the responsibility that they must bear, and not let them do everything adrift, no matter how good our children are, they need supervision and of all the attention they pay online, in fact, entering a casino is as harmless as possible, something they should be afraid of is rapists, pedophiles that unfortunately exist.


Well, whenever live presentations are made, I particularly like how they play, every time I've seen the live broadcasts regarding stake, at least with Eddie it's something else, when he plays anything sometimes he doesn't have good streak and that it is seen that it is not with stake funds but from Eddie, of course what apsa is that Eddie makes it very exciting, at least with Drake he is a person who causes a lot of fame and some just want to see Drake, not so much for the casino but to see it and read the things that are written to it, of course this is something that is possible in stake, many platforms want to match stake.com in this regard, but everyone wants to have someone like Drake in their casinos.

Haha, Watching Drake is much worse than that, He is losing million dollar in his balance like he is betting just penny and he do it while sipping his mojito and vaping. I think the entertainment and thrill is what makes the viewers attracted on gambling by watching this streamers rather than seeing them actually win on one of there session. Of course seeing them win huge amount is one of the interesting part of stream which viewers becomes happy but watching them play for who we are is what really make us stay to watch them. Because if an unknown guy is streaming, I’m sure he will not get any viewer stay watching to him.

Maybe there influence in there past career can attract new player because for sure their followers before may try or test on what they are currently doing, but for sure that's for short term only because for seeing that there bankroll decrease from time to time for sure there followers will find it irrelevant and leave because for sure they see those happenings as crazy things for them to continue believing them.

Lately, I've been watching different broadcasts of slot games a little bit, and firstly, I can say that it looks like a niche for losers: one streamer is a former professional Navi player (either DotA or CS), another streamer is a former porn star, etc. Secondly, I have never seen them win anything. Sometimes they win x20 or even x50, but in general the deposit always decreases. Can such content attract new players to the casino?

You don't have to be discouraged while losing, have you ever reason how much they lost while playing?
Winning is not constant while winning is not constant any time you make your prediction correctly then you stand the chances of winning or more impacts. Increasing your wager might not be the right option for you coupled with you keeping an eyes on them for about 1 year plus. I think is more self development. Have you asked yourself a simple question on how they are playing it?
Some might play for fun and while other might play just because they might be lucky to hit while some plays to increase their income.

Don't you also think it might be a paid streamer or something similar?

The streamer wouldn't say they worked for the casino making the video because it's their secret and unfortunately, a lot of the viewers don't know that either other than just following what the streamers are doing. The audience finally visits the casino site on the video streamer and tries to play gambling there and when they find that the casino site is what they want, the audience starts depositing some money. That means streamers successfully influence viewers to visit the casino site; in this case, those streamers can get extra money from viewers because they register via the link in the video description.

Yes , there are some but most of streamers now are just a paid account from those gambling site to promote their casino  intentionally .
but us our main concern here? it is the  gambling site and the gambling itself how winnable and how trust worthy.
everything is about Money matter , so lets admit the fact that they are promoting because of money..

When a streamer uses sponsored money, I don't think it's false information because the streamer still uses real money, it's just that it's not his personal money, and if many people are tempted to play because they see broadcasts from the streamer but don't get the same results as the streamer then that's just different luck.

Yes and that's why we have seen tremendous rise of streamers and online casinos as well. It's because of the mutual benefit from each others, streamers are being paid to sponsor the casino and casino making a good revenue.

False information or not, it is business strategy. And so we gamblers should now that and up to us whether we fall for this trick or just play on gambling platform that we like without betting big such as this streamers.

I love watching these gambling streamers but I never once thought about mimicking their acts like chasing all the losses to the extent that a normal gambler cannot do anymore.
But the reactions they make when they hit the jackpot are hilarious. I think that is where the entertainment part comes in.
Viewers want to see them win it back and witness what face they will make if ever they hit it.
No gambler should try to copy what they are doing, it's money wasted which are fed to them to show possible outcomes only or to prove that hitting the jackpot is achievable.

The only difference between the streamers and ordinary gamblers are that they do not own the money they are betting. They actually can also lose. But, they can bet or make it roll until they hit a jackpot or until they at least hit a profit. This create an illusion that if you continue to bet, you will eventually win and make profit. But we all know that it is a gamblers fallacy. But to regular guys, it looks so fantastic.

Most of us just watch for entertainment or sometimes research, specifically, on mechanics of the game. That is why watching them chase profit can also be educational to us gamblers.

So whether it is sponsored or not, whether they declare or not, it is the same to me. As long as i am entertained watching them or i have learned something, it is fine.

Sponsorship money to provide support to promoters or influencers to keep doing what they are doing to increase users from the gambling place because nowadays there are many who are like that, sometimes there are influencers who say to the public that they are paid to do that or sometimes they are prefer to be silent and enjoy the results, it could also be when gambling they use fake money that has been set by the gambling place so they can have a lot of money and play a lot of games. so the main point as a gambling audience is better to stay careful when streaming gambling and don't get influenced.
