I was really amazed by those streamers hitting the jackpots like they are meant to get it. I was thinking that there is really something fishy on their bets because some of them win often than a normal gambler does, they bet without hesitation but they don't get suspicious from their fans so it is really hard to accuse them. They have a large fanbase so many will be tempted to try their luck on that platform. Even my friends tried but ended up with nothing in their bankroll, I'll show this thread to them to avoid those paid streamers. Thanks for posting this to spread awareness.

I'm sure people know the risk of going into gambling.

Unfortunately, this does not always happen. Of course, the main culprit is the person. But that really is a problem that exists in both the offline and online world.

If the owner finds this marketing strategy effective, I'm sure they will be hiring more entertainers/streamers/vloggers or any kind of hired man to promote their casino with a strategy like this. I don't find this marketing promotion immoral, Because this is what common marketing is. We can compare it to a smartphone company, In this case, let's use Samsung, They hired "Blackpink" to promote their phones but there are photos that some Blackpink members are actually using iPhone. This shows that it will be on the people to decide if they will fall for the marketing because of the positive things that the promotion showed to them. I'm sure people know the risk of going into gambling. I think it would be immoral if the casino involved in the promotion has records of scamming people and still luring out gamblers on marketing strategies like this.

Basically, it comes down to being lucky or unlucky.

Imagine that a casino gives $ 10 to new users. The user, as a fan of a club, bets $ 10 on that club, and against all odds of winning the club wins the game. The user wins $50, simply because he was happy with his bet. At this point he has two options, stop playing and withdraw the $50. Or keep betting. But will you be so lucky? You can be happy and make a right bet, or go wrong and get $0.

The player must know how to stop! If you enter a cycle of greed, it will only be harmful. You can start spending some change, like spending fortunes.

The person must play to fan and if eventually he has any financial return, great. You should never gamble with the goal of getting rich. This rarely happens.

Yep Ive heard and seen this one done before but its not really surprising as an idea, so long as the person gambling is playing with the same odds as everyone does then I dont mind exactly.    The case I know best is where the person paid to play made a massive deal out of not being able to withdraw all their winnings, so it was somebody famous in the community and they threw a tantrum even though they knew from the start it was a set deal and most people realised they had just agreed to play through free chips.
   Similar kind of thing is like deposit bonuses where winnings have to be played 40 times or something ridiculous though it can be alot smaller.   Again I dont mind so long as its clear and actually I did win that way once, totally free pay roll and I just kept running through the game until I had clocked up enough revenue to withdraw my winnings.   I didnt really expect to keep winning that long but sometimes it works out, either way I had nothing to lose and I dont mind promotions like that.
   All gambling is caveat emptor, its part of the game though I agree some know these things better then others.   Anyone new is best advised to proceed slow and get familiar to have the best chances just fair general advice.

If you keep your eyes and ears open, you won't need anyone else to awaken you about it. Likewise, if gamblers already know that it's just a plain trick by gambling sites to attract new gamblers to play on their slots or go for their slot bonuses, even new gamblers won't entertain such websites and never visit them again. The thing is, weighing all of them on one scale isn't good because not all of the gambling websites does like that. I even don't know which sites or influencers you're talking about TBH but FYI, I never gamble on slots even after watching someone creating fortunes over a specific slot and the gambling site asking us to try it out. Every gambler has a different taste and so, slot doesn't suit me.

I bet most of the high rollers you see in the casino scoreboards are fakes. (maybe all of them)
Yes, there are a few in the way of reputable casinos, specially now when there are so many around, popping out from nowhere, some with no licence - but I suppose this doesn't matter since they only try to scam people.

Having said this, there are a few places you can still enjoy a game or two where you don't need to worry about the legitimacy of the casino. But I do agree that with more choice in the market comes more risk for newbies to get scammed. Unfortunately, this applies everywhere ( mostly online) not just the gambling community, so the same diligence must be applied at all times.
Always be cautious on sites that your dealing with which isnt only limited to gambling sites but on other platforms as well which i highly agree with this line but there are people whom are just
too careless or do really trust up easily when they've been shown some nasty winnings or multipliers with those top wagerers in the site whom they thought that it was always a legit
thing.Im not generalizing but as mentioned they are really playing with this kind of set-up to hook up possible players on their site.

give him a little time he will realize it. we have all seen it, their names keep coming up in the list of high rollers. i didn't even realize they are influencers/streamers until someone posted their youtube video. but hey they prefer that kind of marketing. a company would rather hire someone who personally has tried playing on them than someone who has not. if you are not convinced by these streamers then don't play to whichever he promoted. its still up to you.
We really have a choice to believe or not besides, this is just a marketing strategy and the casinos is not forcing us to play. Newbies have to realize that every casinos have their own marketing strategy, so its up to you if you’re going to play because of those high rollers marketing strategy, or you just want to play to have fun and you didn’t care with those marketing strategy at all. Here in forum there’s a lot of marketing strategy, like giving you the some extra reward if you place on too which very few are joining, so this is a sign that not all are biting those marketing strategy.

In any type of game, viewers like to watch to see what players are able to do. And in many cases, doing what we may not be able to do.

The same applies to games of chance, with the difference that the spectator can normally be part of the game.

It is up to the viewer to know what to do, so as not to be harmed. Humans in general, are easily influenced and therefore, it can be tricky not to fall into these marketing strategies.

These are regrettable strategies, but ultimately the fault lies with the people who are misinformed, and with the dreams that are sold by the consumer society in which we live.

I believe that everything we see on TV, on the Internet, in magazines, and pretty much every advertisement or marketing activity shouldn't be trusted 100%. Even if someone says the sky is blue, you should double-check before you blindly believe them.

Everyone's in the game for the money, that's a fact. Not everyone is willing to scam or mislead people to earn cash, but most people will do this. So, it's up to the audience to be smart enough and not to believe everything they see or hear or read.

Specifically for this topic, I'd say watch them for fun if you like that kind of action. Play yourself if you want to play. Just don't expect 1. to experience whatever happened to the streamer 2. to win if you play and spend long enough. The house always has the edge and game results come from random number generators. There's nothing a player can do to surely win and that's the situation like it or not.

this happened to me . i was about to end the game with a  loose if not because of that one last bet .
 i recover my capital with a few profit . its not always a pattern used in marketing but it do occurs for real to the lucky gamblers .
its the fault of the viewer if he hopes too much and he copy what the streamer is doing because the viewer can be badluck that time and good gambling sites always warn us about the risks in gambling .

Sounds like OP recently fell for one of such "hackers" who claim to know a bug in some betting site or a winning strategy. I, myself lost quite solid amount of money falling for them in the past. You should ask yourself when someone tries to convince you: "what will he benefit from this?" if he has so called "winning strategy" he would put everything he has, make millions and quit to spend rest of his life in some private island instead of making videos by disclosing his personality and earn few thousands at most from affiliate commisions or ad contracts with betting services.

They're obviously been paid by the casino to play and promote it they do get overhyped when they win even tho the money is not theirs, do i think this is immoral and kinda misleading ? Maybe. Does this behaviour needs to be stopped ? No.I believe some people maybe find this entertaining (myself included)

At the end of the day if you're a compulsive gambler or someone who has a real problem with gambling i suggest you just stay away from those streams.

Up to the person if he will be attracted on this kind of marketing strategy.
Everyone is free to do their own techniques of marketing.
That is why, if you are user, you need to scrutinize if they are really worth checking.
There are tons that are doing this technique, and they are gaining attention because of this practice.

This is common marketing strategy thats been used with all businesses. We need to be aware of it. With gambling people won't go fall with these kind of marketing. There are legitimate platforms that let you withdraw all the funds without any form of restrictions. As days pass people are much aware of the gambling community, so they're into trusted platforms.

Each of us does have different impressions on the things that we do able to watch and if this one do really give us some bad impressions to be some sort of deceptive on your part then better stop watching it

because even if you do make out some complaints or words towards it then nothing can really be changed.You wouldnt know if these players are really showing off some enjoyment on real or just pretending.

Actually you can really point out when its already obvious and just like what others said that it is still depending on your own decision if you would play or not even
how well  they do convince out their viewers to play.

Why do you care? Are they forcing you to wager your money? Did they put a gun on your head? No. Whoever is falling for that scam and wagers more that he could afford to lose deserves to lose that money.

I bet most of the high rollers you see in the casino scoreboards are fakes. (maybe all of them)

OP should accept this fact when it comes to playing you are on your own, the gambling sites will lure you to play more with their giveaways cashback and freebies, it's on you if you are going to play with all your money, it's gambling and it's based luck you can win it all or lose it all, and there's no use blaming them, or you just don't want to blame yourself and feel sorry that you lose you turn your balming in the gambling site.

I don't think they will always have a similar cycle of it. Moreover, not all start with that kind of loss. Many new gamblers who are losing in their first spins may stop their wager or even try another luck in another gambling.
Can they really ensure that they'll win in the next spins?
Nobody.
Although there may be such kinds of probabilities because this kind of strategy is commonly implemented, it doesn't mean to apply to most players. Everybody has their own choice to start, play, and also stop anytime.
