Topic: why people promote gambling sites . - page 3. (Read 630 times)

Unfair advertising practices and financial advice aren't good things to employ, I agree with that. However, I don't think it makes promotion of gambling bad per se, and Hispo has a fair point that similar unethical practices exist outside the gambling industry.
IMO, gambling is a form of entertainment. People easily pay for other forms of entertainment, such as going bowling, buying a computer game, going to the cinema etc. In those other cases you 'lose' every time, you don't expect to get your money back. In gambling, there is a chance you'll actually win, but that chance is not a promise and not a guarantee because what you're paying for is the process and the emotions you're getting out of it.

You should know better these are promoters they will use the best word and shill to the highest just for you to sign up deposit and play, it's your fault if you put your 100% trust in these influencers you should do your own research its your money so you decide what's best for you.
Influencers will always be influencers they will live up to their name because this is what they do best influence people

Even if influencers are telling you to gamble with money that you can afford they will still influence you to still play because they know that when you sign up and play if you do not have control of your gambling you will eventually lose more money, money that you cant afford to lose.

a promoter is paid to promote one of the casino sites that pays for it and we as people who see the promotion must respond casually and carefully when we want to register at the casino. made a mistake at the casino without knowing beforehand.
and a promoter is not to blame because they too get paid to promote a business and we as customers have to do our own research.

so that when we enter gambling or casinos that offer promotions on their advertising banners, we shouldn't be too hasty to get these bonuses. because if we are greedy, of course we immediately register and bet without knowing the rules that we can break when betting.

Have you used a site or tool where it's really help you or solve your problem? when someone else have similar problem like you was, obviously you will give a solution and recommend the site or tool you've used, isn't?

Have you get bribed by someone to choose what he choose? or someone pay you and ask you to post something? similar like someone get paid by the casino for doing what the casino ask to you.

So there are 2 options why people promoting casino, just pick what you think it's more make sense.

It reminds me those infomercials I used to see in the morning when I was younger, it could be hours and hours of the same people talking about how wonderful their product is and they would never say anything negative about it. Sometimes, it would be just matter of some small letters appearing at the and of the advertisement, which scrolled too fast and were too small for anyone to actually pay attention to.

Because of memories like that, I believe it is unfair to accuse casinos and exchanges of advertise mostly positively, using space which obviously costs much money to them. We are talking about practices which are older than Bitcoin itself, after all.

As a gambler, you must also be responsible for where you are getting into.
It's not like when someone offered you food, you will just eat it without hesitation. You must first check it even if you are too hungry to even think about it.

So why do people promote it?
First, it's about the money, that's the sole purpose of doing it. Those who will enter thru affiliates must already know that. Terms and conditions checking is all on the gambler's side and not the one who promoted it. All they do is scatter the news not be an assistant for you.
This is why reading comprehension must be observed. We are in the internet era, we cannot just rely on what is in front of us and believe it.

This is what I was thinking while reading the OP. I don't know all the laws or rules when it comes to advertising but it appears the Government is pretty lenient when it comes to this.

It's been widely accepted that advertisers only show the good side of their products. The food and beverage industry for example would promote how delicious their new menu or new drinks but they never tell that the ingredients used could cause health problems. It's up to the buyer to read the product labels or ingredients. It's almost the same case with casinos and their hired promoters or their affiliate marketers.

Any kind of promotion is always paid. Either with money or some other way, like exposure. Its just business and most people who know how to think logically will understand that advertising is not something which is unfair or evil, its just the way businesses reach out to people in hope of converting some clients. Which business does not do promotions? I think most of us would never willingly promote a business that we do not agree with morally. Of course there will always be some desperate people who would do anything for a dollar but thats a minority group.

I am not morally opposed to gambling because even though it can become harmful to a small percentage of gamblers who develop a gambling addiction, overall it is an entertainment activity. People pay for bungee jumping, even though a tiny percentage of jumpers fall to their deaths every year. Does that mean we should stop promoting such things? No.  Everyone has the free right to choose what they perceive as entertainment and if they wish to pay their money for that entertainment, then more power to them.

because maybe someone is paid to promote the gambling site and get money, indirectly everything returns to the people involved in gambling, there are always bonuses for new users so people want to try it, not just mistakes on gambling sites but people who want to try it already entered into the gambling game, so you will not be able to stop it all.

If you want to help people, you should help anyone who is truly a gambling addict to become a wise gambler, after all, usually people don't just play gambling for money, there are also those who play just for the fun of spending money. so you also have to understand that and don't ask why  

Promoting a casino or gambling site is left to us to consider if we are interested to use the site or not. Sometimes after hearing about a gambling site and the bonus that are attached, I always do my own research so that I will be sure of where I am putting my money so that I will not be a victim of ignorance. Checking the terms and conditions of a betting site is very important but sometimes we over look it because we are in haste to get the bonuses that attract us to the betting site and to start gambling. Making persons have lost there funds because of this mistake.

Most likely, they are being paid to do so. Nothing would do something if they won't benefit from their efforts. Unless they are just fond of a specific gambling site and they want to share their experience with other people, which is rare if I would be asked. Why would you promote something if it will result to a disadvantage on your end? This simple question is simply the answer. Influencers are using their fanbase which is not a bad thing since they are the ones who boosted such community. But problem is, some are becoming insensitive of the risk they are putting their viewers. Not all people could endure losses, keep that in mind. They simply trusted you as someone they look up to, which should be an enough reason to be promoting responsibly.

Why influencers don't tell their followers everything they need to know about a particular casino website is because they want them to register using the bonus as way to make them join the gambling site, while other influencers see their followers as adults who should know what they're about to go into by reading through the site's Tos. I don't fancy it when people fail to blame themselves, and rush to bestow the blames on influencers who promoted the casino. Every player should learn to take responsibility of their gambling mistakes, as the influencer didn't play the game for him or her, he only referred people to know about a better gambling site, where they can play games and get bonuses. An established influencer has rules and if they accept gambling ads that means they post contents relating to gambling. Subsequently, they must have, in their contents, mentioned tips that'll help a gambler from losing their funds. I can only support these blames if the influencer is promoting a scam casino.

Because most gamblers are oriented towards winning so showing victory when using a gambling platform is the most effective method for marketing, it is made for gamblers to be more tempted to try gambling platforms that are advertised with victory, speaking T&C I don't think it is of particular concern to novice gamblers who want to try it, apart from the T&C getting a deposit bonus, this will be of particular concern to novice gamblers.
I say that because I experienced it when I was still a beginner in gambling, especially when I often lost.

You will look twice and read carefully to see if you can win whenever you see something like;

 -Get/Win Bonuses when you...
 -Get for free

They are two very catchy phrase that have proven to be able to get the attention of anyone that hears or read them.

Anyone with a large amount of followers on SM that promotes a gambling site is usually in most cases doing so not due to just personal experience, but also because they have a percentage gain from the promotion, a deal with this gambling sites. Because they get paid to promote the website, their reviews and promotion cannot always be trusted as genuine.

People who you see have little followers on SM, or not even interested in SM, but talk and give unsolicited reviews about a casino or gambling site are more sincere.

Suppose, A employer has given a task some one and told him certain conditions. If he performs according to those conditions he will get his due reward. If someone does not follow the terms or ignore the rules, is the employer responsible? Of course not. At the beginning of the job, the requirements should be carefully reviewed.

Referrals, people who promote gambling have commisions and paid advertisement if they promote a certain gambling site. It is currently what happening in all social media platforms nowadays. There are a lot of famous influencers, vloggers and streamers who are keep promoting online gambling site because they can earn money from it. They do not have care if what they promote can harm their fans and audiences. There are a lot of online gambling sites that became scam after few weeks of launch, that's why we should not easily be deceive by these influencers, vloggers and streamers. They are promoting it not because of how much money that they can earn from the gambling site but because of Referrals.

The money that they will get by promoting it and also the commision on how many fans and audiences will register on the link that they give. In business perspective, what gambling sites is really good because they take their marketing as seriously. It is really cost huge amount of money. As for the audience, it can bring harm especially if they are not aware to the nature of the gambling where in there is no certainty that they can earn money from just betting or playing.

you mentioned 90% will lose in anything gambling related. I would first argue the percentage but that would be a different topic. instead I will ask you this: why 90% lose? here are a few reasons:
1. lack of bankroll management
2. lack of experience
3. lack of strategy in execution

there are cases of successful gambling stories, right? some dude is a millionaire playing blackjack. how did he do that? by understanding bankroll management, financial management. by taking a boat load of blackjack hands, improving his experience in making decisions and of course by finetuning & mastering various strategies. are there people that made millions in poker? Daniel Negreanu might be a good reply on this one. how did he do that? well bankroll management, experience, strategy, etc.

long story short, most of the people that go down the gambling rabbit hole want the "get rich over night" shortcut, however as any other valuable thing in life, winning is something hard to achieve. and that is why, indeed, the majority lose.

as for the "without telling them the terms and conditions" in regards to first deposit bonus, I mean come on now. say you've won $100k and you want to invest that into stocks, ETFs, investment fund or something similar. does the broker spill out the "terms and conditions" for you? 100% not. however he will for sure be happy to clout to his friends/colleagues about netting you into the firm an thus earning his commission. the decision of depositing balance into an account on a gambling website belongs to the user 100%. therefore the responsibility to understand the terms and conditions as well as how bonuses operate belongs to him.

regarding influencers, imo and without any form of disrespect, they are nothing but tools. imagine for example the classic marketing billboards. that's influencers now. a billboard that can speak and maybe do stuff. however their essence is the ability to attract attention, therefore they can be used to market businesses. may it be gambling or otherwise. a perfect example, even though he's not an influencer as per say, would be the move of Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus. how many shirts has Juve sold? then to Manchester United and now to All Nassr. again in both cases, how many shirt have those teams sold? how much did their social profiles grew after he joined the teams? and so on.

in the end you requested opinions on "what type of many people are, like greedy, only thinking themselves and their family, egoistic, thinking in a bad way, just trying to keep everyone down, or people are good". my personal opinion is that there are many characters out there, from egoistic to altruistic and beyond. at the end of the day, it matters for you to climb one more stair on the ladder of life. the fact that the stair you've climbed is financial, or helpful to other(s), matters less. at the same time, for the past 2.000 years, not many have turned water into wine, or fed five thousand people or other things like this. in fact, no one did such things. however for the past 2.000 years or so, people have been gambling.

It's because of greed for money. Let's say someone is promoting this, and the way they are promoting this is that they play on that platform and win big, which attracts gamblers who hope that they will win but turn out not to. They just keep promoting this to earn money, nothing more. Even others will scam you by promoting scam casinos. I just recalled that there is also a local online casino here where almost all of the influencers and even the most famous people are uploading videos and earning huge amounts of money, and they are also saying, "If they can do it, you can do it too; sign up now!"

Gambling sites are like any other business that needs to be promoted to have clients in order to profit. If there will be no profit, then what's the point of establishing one in the first place? So, they do their very best in order to gather around customers and be their regulars as much as possible to earn from them and to keep their business thriving in the gambling industry.

The same way gambling sites need to profit, people needs to earn money too to survive their daily lives and to live the lifestyle they want. Streamers accept the offers in promoting gambling websites because they were paid for every content,, views, and referrals. The same way with influencers and the likes. Of course, people will do it if they will get something in return. That explains why most people still promote gambling sites despite its consequences. Since after all, it still depends on the person itself whether he will be responsible of his finances or be swayed by the gambling's fun and possible profit.

Promotion of gambling sites is two ways of business,because for the promotion the person who involved in promotion will earn some money.After the promotion of that website was happened,the owner also get huge amounts of gamblers to their website.So they will play huge games,so at the end the gambling website owners also earn multiple amounts of their investment.Both the website owners and the promoters will earn some good money.If you are lucky means,you can also involved in promotion of gambling to earn some money from the gambling site.
