That depends on how you view the situation, but for me I don't find it unethical knowing that a lot of things can't be taken for what they are as others get away with it and like the others have mentioned already it's an effective way of advertising. It's kind of similar to how certain casinos introduce their bonuses that seems too good to be true then they don't clearly state the actual requirements in unlocking the bonus. Imo it only becomes unethical when morals is also involved since we immediately know to ourselves that it's not right to deceive other people.

We all have seen dozen videos of streamers on twitch/youtube who play with huge amount of money and sometimes win a lot. Overall, the main idea behind these streams is that if you have huge bankroll, then you have a higher chance of win greater amounts of money. This is done in order to attract people with higher bankroll instead of low ones. While I was always saying that adult person is independent in his/her choice and if he/she does anything, it's only his fault, I still look at this marketing like a dirt trick to attract people with bankroll more than they are afford to lose.
Most of the times I have seen youtubers who were using high quality equipment, tech support, etc and had different casino themes on their video but were acting like an actors and were swearing that they were playing with their own money.
So, what do you guys think, is this kind of marketing ethical?

Those who do not understand the gambling world will consider such practice unethical, this is industry practice, they hire Youtube and Twitch influencers to showcase features of the gambling site they are promoting if you have control and are a responsible gambler you're not going to these promotions and marketing hype, the most unethical thing in the world of gambling is promoting scam or dubious gambling site these Youtube influencers and Twitch marketers should not be tolerated if they are doing this..

that can be one of the reason why streamers are given huge sums of money so that they can bet longer and hit the high multiplier that they are targetting however on some occasions a streamer can also win at the beggining or after a few bets that he placed and they are playing with minimum bet or lesser than that . this made the viewer try that gambling site and see if they can also make easy money .i think this is still ethical as long as streamers tell the truth that it wasnt their money theyr playing with

ethical or not it all depends on the perception of each of usSo, what do you guys think, is this kind of marketing ethical?
I myself see that the ad is still ethical because the company pays for YouTube/YouTuber or Twitch to market the products they offer
those who are adults can definitely distinguish what is best and appropriate for them to do
if they think gambling is detrimental to them then don't do it otherwise if it is profitable and they can still control then gambling because it is inspired by advertisements or YouTubers it's not a big problem imo

I don't see anything wrong with it, so it's ethical for me as we know they are just paid to promote a certain gambling site.
That's probably part of the promotion and they used popular influencers so they can gain new gamblers to play with their platform, it's an old way of marketing trick and still very effective until now.

Marketing has always been a dirty trick tbh. Ever since its inception marketing has employed dubious, manipulative, and not so obvious tactics. So regarding twitch and youtube, I think it's nothing new, it's just implementing well-known marketing tactics on new mediums. Is it ethical? Not really, but it's accepted.

The videos you are referring here, are mostly sponsored by the gambling houses. Just like any other businesses, gambling houses also need to market their casino to reach their target customers. So youtube/twitch streaming is one way of reaching highly targeted customer base.
But if the streamers are wrongfully claiming that they are usingbtheir own money but in reality if they are using sponsored money, then it's unethical for sure. But in this highly competitive market, such things usually happen as standard practices.
This is what happening with those streamers. We can see regular gamblers winning in big multiples, but to achieve that he/she might've been spending little by little for months. When it comes to the streamers, quite often we can see them winning big. In one way it is unethical, because there is no truth. On the other side, it is the common practice by gambling houses. Even the same kind of promotion is followed on different other businesses, particularly on options trading.But if the streamers are wrongfully claiming that they are usingbtheir own money but in reality if they are using sponsored money, then it's unethical for sure.

I wouldn't disagree with that! If the streamers are using company money and claiming it as their own money, then it's unethical for sure. Because there is no truth. But I believe the gambling houses are promoting such practices and there's little we can do. Twitch has recently imposed some restrictions on gambling video where they are not allowed to put their referral links anymore. But this is not something that can put an end to this practice.
But to be honest, banks are the most unethical business organizations in the world and their scale of operations are quite big compared to online gambling market. So it's not right to blame gambling only!

That's their marketing strategy and I honestly don't find it unethical because that's their strategy to attract more players. Gambling sites would pay streamers a huge amount just to advertise them and it's still for us viewers to believe in what we see on different platforms. It's still our prerogative to do research before believing the streams that we watch.

I never heard of such thing as ethical marketing in gambling and all youtube and twitch influencers need is more money nad profit.
If some actor said he was playing with his money that could be true but that money was given to him by casino before

If we were to talk about ethical things in marketing, I'd bet 99% of it would actually be out already. We don't talk about ethics when it comes to marketing, that would defeat the purpose of marketing, which is profiting. Profiting comes in many ways, a number of them include sucking up to the stupidity of gullibility of people, albeit borderline legal.
Same with youtube/twitch marketing. We all know how streamers have a higher bankroll due to being sponsored, and yet we think that we can also do it. Is it their fault for not clarifying that? I don't think so. They have no obligation to do so really, and it's our fault for not understanding that simple fact prior to actually gambling.

Marketing is a dirty game. I think a lot of marketing strategies are unethical.
I consider this promotion of gambling as unethical. If you are convincing people to deposit a large amount of money to gambling sites so that they are supposed to win big as well, you are doing an unethical act. It is not a question whether the money is really theirs or not. It is a different story. If they are lying, then they are obviously unethical. But that's another issue. For me, it is already plain unethical to make it appear as if gambling is a way to make money and the bigger you gamble the better.

Many casinos are practicing that even well-established casinos it's one way to sustain the money flowing inside the casino it's up to the players if they want to follow the advice of the streamers, what's unethical practice is promoting scam gambling sites and telling them that they are paying on time when they are not, we have at least two scam gambling site here with a signature campaign and many members promoting and supporting them, that's unethical for me.

I don't think that it is.
Twitch is banning gambling related affiliates for a reason I think. And it's well deserved because it's simply misleading and making people believe that there is more chance of winning than there actually is.
It's not fair as the big casinos like Roobet are the ones who are able to sponsor their affiliates like this as well. So that further monopolizes the market.

I think there's nothing wrong with that, specially if they are using their own money to gamble. And they are earning as well when their channel got lots of view and subscribers and thumbs up, it added some algorithm in the channel.
So still up to the gamblers who are watching their channel, if they are attracted to gamble more because of what they have seen, then it's their fault, IMHO. As far as marketing goes, Youtube is now design to be targeted some demographics, a niche, so that's marketing already.

It's unethical but is not prohibited that's why they continue to promote. I'm sure there are people trying to expose them on their comments, I've read some of the comments given by the viewers which they are saying the strategy isn't working and that means they really tried what the streamer is doing. Victims are complaining.
Streamers continue to do it even after they changed their terms as twitch introduced restrictions on gambling-related links.

I think that it is unethical only if the streamers does not declare the affiliation.
But unfortunately, most people don't declare this affiliation.
There is nothing wrong with people streaming even as affiliates as long as they have made this clear to the audience from the get-go. And there is definitely nothing wrong with casinos themselves operating twitch streams.

Is there any need to go further than this?
If the intent is this, then clearly this is fraudulent and very unethical.
I actually stopped playing at Roobet because of this. There are way too many Twitch streamers who are clearly using fake money to gamble and getting paid to exploit their audience base.
on a gambling site and they are streaming for income and wont really be just wasted or would be deposited on a gambling site.It does really need up some common sense sometimes.
Unethical on being deceptive but theres nothing we can do about it.

Hosting giveaways are a creative form of marketing. One whose allure could be wearing thin due to them being so common, undocumented and unorganized.
I think what is needed to make them more legitimate is for the organization and logistics of it to be handled better. With more documentation and information. To become more normalized like lotteries or sweepstakes.
The main things are people want to know is that there were legitimate winners. Who are not associated or affiliated with those offering prizes. And that people receive what was promised.
In a worst case scenario, a youtuber could offer $50 in prizes to the best retweet. Make another account. Give the prize $ to their ALT account. Taking steps to document and verify that not being the case, is the ideal that should be pursued IMO.
