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.

So, what do you guys think, is this kind of marketing ethical?

still reasonable and ethical if that can be still obtained. if it's unethical if it's impossible to get and they sell it. and many of them have also given a disclaimer about gambling. as long as what is advertised is still reasonable even they put acting on it it's still normal and okay.

When there are lies in the marketing it's not ethical for this simple reason. But I think the fact the public target are the big players it's not a problem. I believe it's casinos and promoters' right to do the best they can do attract the public they think it's interesting for them, since they don't use fake situations to do so.

Anyway, as this situation was debated a lot and everyone in the industry is already aware, I think the public will just stay away from youtubers/streamers who use such lies to promote their content and will approach legit ones. In the end it will be a good opportunity for new youtubers/streamers to grow their channels and audience with honest content.

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.

If you are a real gambler and you know how they advertise you should know better, when it comes to gambling your experience and how you perceive gambling is what matters, Youtube and Twitch marketing has a lot of false marketing not only on gambling but on investment schemes too, if you're the kind who believe on what you see and read online easily you will be deceived, you should always do diligent research.
I prefer to believe in honest reviews from independent players who spend their own money and Youtube is not the place to check for honest reviews unless the Youtuber is an independent one.
Gambling sites and investment schemes and all their marketers have a disclaimer, Only invest what you can afford to play or invest and this is one of their few pieces of advice that is correct and I also recommend all gamblers to follow this.

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.

Why it wouldnt be ethical? This had been the most common way of marketing.If we do look on the other side of things which talks about those acting then those are just part of the reality on where

they would really be using up those kind of ways just to lure in people no matter what the cost.It might look not to be ethical to you but its their way to lure in
even though it isnt really that appealing but well theres nothing we can do with that thing.
