Some of you guys must have watched high stake slot players in their pajamas rolling thousands of dollars in single spin, buying hundred of thousands worth of bonus spins. If you notice closely yo will found the same pattern all over again and again. They start with loosing most of their bank roll (almost 80-90%), and then going all in at last and guess what, bingo!!! they hit hundreds of thousands of dollars. Very few of them write in their stream discerption about rolling with fake money (or money of which they can only cash out like 1%). Almost all of them scream loudly and show us that they are winning it in real, some are very good at faking it, which attracts lots of new gamblers (with false expectations) and they end up loosing it all which ultimately leads to social disharmony.
The argument they provide is as follow, ''we are entertainers/performers''. This need to be stopped. I am creating this thread to discuss such issues and to warn other new comers about the potential loss. If you have found such streamers please post here so that it can be helpful for new players to make realistic decisions.
I don't think this should be stopped. I think everyone has to think on their own about what they do and what are the consequences of their steps. Well, if you see a monkey jumping in front of the cam creating an illusion of winning hot money in the casino, you should be aware that in the casino you can either lose it. You will cool down the milk after having burnt your tongue, isn't it? If someone else burns their tongue, you will believe but think that you will not have your tongue burnt even if you drink a boiled milk:) The same is with those jumping monkeys. If you are an 18+ aged person, you should think about what you do and about all the consequences of your behavior. If not, well, you still need your mom to make your bed:)
Immoral or not, it depends on how we see it. There are laws prohibiting unfair or deceptive practices in advertisement, but they are different in different countries. And is showing your real wins on slots unfair or deceptive? I don't think so. As with any other advertisement, it is we who can make it harmful for us, not the ad itself. Ads are annoying sometimes, and in other times they make us buy unnecessary things, but the world would be less funny without them. And these big wins on slots, in particular, some of them are really fun to watch.
That simply talks about money and even it was immoral, they let it happen as it was paid already. It is sometimes to think that was too unfair, yes, it was but have less possibility that we can change the nature of this place. Then rather we saying it was too unfair, too immoral, maybe it was best to ignore them than be a big deal to it.
It is actually annoying when we heard such complaints but can't just put blame on them(ads) alone, we do it for ourselves then for listening and choosing them. It is always our fault and not anyone's else that we are so greedy that we are ready to believe that we are necessarily going to win like those guys in the vids. We don't want to think about how much money they were risking, how many times they were losing before that big win etc., we just want to win like them right away. It is no wonder we are disappointed and broke, more often than not, following those expectations.
Agree with you. If you see a person crossing the road in the wrong place and we do the same and hit the car, should we blame that person? If you try to stop it, this will never stop. If you let it go with no attention at all, this will stop on its own.
