Yegor Bulatkin, better known by his stage name egorkreed, is a renowned singer from Russia. He commands a substantial following on social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Twitch, where he actively interacts with his fans. egorkreed utilizes his influence to promote a diverse range of products, spanning from video games to online casinos.

With an outstanding presence, egorkreed secures a prominent position in the ranking, amassing a combined follower count of 27,165,056 across these platforms.

To sum up

In total, these 5 accounts (with 2 of them belonging to Egor Kreed) have over 90,000,000 followers. Only these accounts alone can already generate significant traffic for iGaming businesses. Moreover, this number of followers is not final since popular TikTok and Instagram accounts continue to grow their follower count. In a few months, the milestone of 90,000,000 may exceed 100,000,000 followers.

You know, even if you compile lists of influencers known on social media platforms like tiktok or Instagram with millions of followers, do you think the followers who support those influencers are because of gambling? If you look at the content of each influencer, it's not about gambling, they just insert it, because the influencers are taking a chance that they have something to gamble with what they promote.
This means that their million followers are also irrelevant if none of them will play gambling on what they advertise, which is also useless, because most of the followers are not gamblers.

I want to ask this question for a while now and I think this is a good opportunity, are gambling influencers real gamblers? Or they are just doing their influencing job to attract many people into gambling? Because I find it very hard to believe that all gambling influencers are into gambling, many of them don't even want anything to do with gambling, but as a influencer for different types of casinos, they will make a lot of money from those casinos, way more than being a crypto influencer.

The best influencer for me are those reviewers because they can tell the whole story and they are knowledgeable about casinos and games, compared to Instagram and Tiktok which only posted clips, short videos, and images these influencers are not what you called experts in the field of the gambling industry, they are making money promoting platforms that pay them to post, I am not a follower of any of these gambling Tiktokers they are for entertainment purposes only not serious reviewers.

Some of them may be real gamblers and some are just influencers. After all, we don't know whether they play gambling like us or just promote the casino. But if they often share referral links on their social media pages, they also hope to get income from what they do. This can be seen from their followers on each social media, so we can only imagine how much their income will be if half of their followers become their referrals. And that's one way to get passive income and they really know how to use that social media.

There is a moment where influencers who don't even have the knowledge of gambling platforms that are advertised but they play it in livestream or in their short videos, which in their followers are not due to gambling but because of the content produced by influencers, which usually if it has become a public figure that has become a public figure Prominent many people who listen to what they say, especially about gambling, those followers of the influencer fanatics will definitely follow the advice or what the influencer is doing in the content. This will actually increase the number of new users who have not jumped into the world of gambling, while gambling influencers, surely he found many gamblers who made many accounts on many gambling platforms, it was indeed good, but gambling influencers were very rarely followed/followers .

Yes, you're right. However, I'm talking about accounts where gambling can be advertised. Influencers here can cover various content, from lifestyle to humor. Gambling can be advertised not only on accounts solely dedicated to gambling. This top focuses on accounts in different spheres where gambling is promoted, so the audience here is more receptive to such advertisements than with any other influencers. It doesn't include the largest accounts such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Selena Gomez, etc., because it's not about the most popular influencers in general, but rather about influencers where gambling can be advertised.

All gambling influencers aren't gamblers, influencing doesn't demand you use the product you're promoting. Influencing just need you to have an online audience of loyal followers so you get a result when you advertise for products that you're promoting on your channel.

Unless you're a review influencer in that case you have to make use of the casino so you can give your opinion based on what you feel while using the casino. If you don't use the casino then your review will be fake and you'll get exposed by those that have used the casino.

Most influencers just use their fame to sell products and make money, if you look at the celebrities that advertise a product, you'll observe they don't use that product in most cases and that's exactly what influencers do. They're just a marketing tool.
 

Majority of those gamble influencers don't gamble,from the way they behave,I don't think that they are gamblers. Perhaps gambling is one of the most common activity growing very fast in our society toady that is why you see this influencers promoting casinos because they believe that they can make more people go into gamble because they have many followers who will do whatever they are telling them to do. Some of the influencers followers that are gamblers are the only ones that will try the casino that they are advertising. Both the casinos and the influencers are all into one same business,which is looking for money to put in their pockets.

I don't think that everyone who advertises gambling actually plays it. Here, the focus is more on the influence these people have on their followers. All these influencers are an excellent tool for promotion. Generally, people trust those they are subscribed to. That's why businesses can attract new users by using influencers for promotional purposes. In these lists, there are influencers who advertise gambling, but they may not actually gamble. All the streams where influencers are gamble are part of marketing.

I just went through the first five videos of barstoolsports, and I didn't see any content relating to gambling all I saw was some random shit I always see whenever TikTok comes up in my phone. So most of the subscribers that are there are not subscribed due to their gambling content ( if there are any, since I couldn't waste my time sarching through something I don't need) Most are subscribed because of the funny skits that are being posted in their channel and never forget that there is still a possibilty of them having a few bots as their subscribers.


No, not all of them gamble we have some influencers that have never wagered a single cent in a casino unless when they need it to display to their followers.
Off-topic but, that's how some crypto influencers also work all they care about is the money they are being paid they don't care a single bit about their subscribers.

All influencers can not be gamblers. You being an influencer can be otherwise called a marketer. As an influencer with large number of followership, you can see monetize it and do a good marketing job with it to your larger followers who are into it in one way or the other. It does not necessarily means that before one can market or influence a product on their followers, one must be up and doing in  that product. The product company sees you as a good point of contact to the larger populace or consumers so the assume you could be of good importance to them hence they need your services to influence your followers.

Influencer marketing sounds good if the influencer has followers who enjoy gambling content. I have hardly seen any influencer getting so many followers by promoting gambling content. Most of them are into personal & life style niche. They can be use for promoting Gambling products but their reach will be very bad. It is better to promote a project using social media platforms than using influencers. I have seen influencers adding a statement in the middle or in the end about a casino. Such statements have zero reach.

I'm talking about accounts where gambling can be advertised. Content on their pages can be dedicated to anything. Gambling can be advertised not only on accounts dedicated only to gambling.

Your post is probably more beneficial to casino owners or their marketing representative than to us regular and casual players. I personally don't follow any gambling accounts on social media because all I see are heavy shilling of their referral codes. I don't blame them since they probably got a lucrative offer for that but I don't find their content unique enough to "buy" whatever product they are promoting.

Are you sure TikTok allows gambling or certain gambling to be promoted? I watch a couple streamers who have put videos of their wins on TikTok and not so long after found their accounts banned. I'm not sure if they do not allow bitcoin gambling, casino gambling, slots, or what but the only content from these streamers are gambling content.

It's not allowed.


Instagram still allow gambling, but with some requirement.


So I guess people who promote gambling in Tiktok just waiting their account get banned, since the @OP have share those gambling streamers in this forum, the best way for us is to report those accounts lol. It's surprising how Tiktok not notice those accounts with 1 Million followers because it's big.

Gambling ads are prohibited on Tiktok
https://ads.tiktok.com/help/article/tiktok-advertising-policies-industry-entry


TikTok is stricter than Facebook, Facebook is using bots to approve ads while TikTok are using humans to verify ads if they comply with their requirements.

These influencers may get their account restricted if they openly promote gambling.

I've been following this TikTok account for a while now and all this time I thought they are just one of those accounts that post random sports videos(because of their name) and other things that go viral, I never knew they were connected to a sportsbook.

I also want to add this one that I found on their "business help center"

Are these followers audited because we don't know if these are real followers or not.
Anyone can buy a large number of followers on these social media platforms.
It is important to consider the authenticity of followers when evaluating the influence of accounts on social media platforms.
It's easy to audit twitter followers since there is a separate website just for that.

Besides that, having a large number of followers doesn't necessarily mean all of them would blindly follow these accounts.
Yes, these influencers can still drive a huge traffic to any site but it is crucial to recognize that circumstances can change unexpectedly.

Well, they are most likely promoterd of a gambling plaatform simply because they are being paid to do so. They might be playing but to be a 'real' gambler is a bit blurred in my point of view. If they really do gamble, all or most of their contents are about such thing but what we often see are famous influencers who suddenly promotes a gambling site without consistency on all of their contents.
This is about restrictions against community standards, in every platform not only in social media. Well, it is true that in most instances, you can really be banned from using a platform because you violated their rules and standard.

I acknoledge the list created by OP but what is its actual point? Aside from influencers who uses their fame to encourage non-gamblers. No matter how huge the numbers are, it'll solely depend to him/her whether to engage or not, which means not all of their followers are into this industry as well.

I rarely seen gambling contents from Tiktok, do you think that that platform will be led the company towards a positive marketing result?
Personally, I think that it would be better to have list of YouTubers, Facebook, Twitch, and other streaming platforms like Kick.
You're doing all of these compilations for free?

Barstool's pretty good but they're leaning towards more of a variety content nowadays, most of the time they post memes on their social media channels so I can't really say they're one of the most reliable sports/gambling news source out there anymore, but they're definitely as entertaining as ever. Bleacherreport seems to steer towards the same type of content nowadays, which I think is what works for them revenue-wise cause that's what brings in the money but for diehard gamblers and supporters out there that rely on them for news and updates this is not good as you'd have to scroll from the hundreds of videos they have made for content purposes before getting the video you need.

I am not particularly sure whether it is possible to fully audit followers on Twitter either, otherwise it would not be a market for it. I recall seeing a couple of months ago a webpage which basically sold accounts and followers for cryptocurrency.

Either they are just trying to scam people hungry for followers on Twitter or Twitter is actually quite easy to fool with those kinds of tricks/ transactions.

Also, I thought that all gambling influencers gambled themselves, not only promoted gambling to their audience, unless we are talking about some influencer who specializes on sport tips but does not feel like betting their own money, sounds weird. Easy to lose credibility ???

Exactly, maybe we here often see several social media accounts that are featured here by the OP, have a fantastic number of followers, no wonder social media such as: Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok, Facebook is made one of the green signs for influencer marketing, they know that social media has thousands of followers every day, that's the best way partners in the gambling industry can do.

Need to remember, even though the related account has an extraordinary number of followers, it does not mean that the gambling advertisements they post, whether it is gambling sites, types of games and so on, can be used as the main guideline for us to bet on, you also need research, analysis, be careful when using it, maybe it's posting demos or things that can harm the followers themselves in gambling, it is important to do research and be thorough before playing there, not only guided by how many followers, meaning:

high risk gambling.

I rarely see any gambling content in TikTok. In Instagram, even though I don't particularly look for gambling content in my personal account, but there are some instances wherein I'm getting gambling content on my feed even though I don't really associate that account with anything related to gambling. Most of the gambling content I'm viewing on my personal account are sponsored ones, so I'm not sure what kind of tracking Instagram has for them to know that I gamble, even though that personal account hasn't liked, searched, nor watched any content related to gambling.

Of the top 5 accounts listed on that table, I think only Egor Kreed will be the only one who will be open for advertisements for starting casinos, platforms, or brands as most of them are probably already signed with other brand deals.

You just made me waste my data watching more than 10 videos each on the 2 tiktok accounts you provided above and yet couldn't find a single gambling related video. Because to me, in as much as a channel do not create a gambling related contents but only promote gambling for earning sake, I don't think such is qualified to be classified as a gambling channel even though it has a hundred or million followers.
However, I just made my personal research and I think the only tiktok accounts that can be classified under gambling are these 2 given below, as they offer rich & valuable gambling related contents.

idx	Name	Platform	Followers
1	barstoolgambling	TikTok	590,300
2	Betr	TikTok	526,000

You are so right my friend, I think it's not just those you mentioned, the majority of gambling news channels, have all deviated from their real purpose, and I personally do not blame them for when making money is the ultimate goal, it is no surprise for such deviation to happen.

I have a gambling channel I am subscribed to on telegram, the channel has pretty grown, in their early days, they were very constant in posting only gambling related news and update, and maybe from time to time, advertise a casino or two.
But today, alot have changed, they now shill meme coin fund raising campaign to their users almost two or three times a day, at some point, I felt like leaving the channel cus I felt they've been hacked, but I see they still post gambling related content, but no as frequent as before.

The owner's goal is to make money outmof their channel. Although occasionally they are hired to promote casinos but I think they started by promoting affiliates.

There are many of these channels including those on yotube and they were just reviewing casinos. Overtime as followers grow, it becomes easy for them to influence audience to sign up.
Easy job for them.

well, this number of followers or fans is simply very large, and without a doubt they manage to get many referrals and with that they earn a lot of money with partnerships with casinos and also with the commissions they receive from referrals, so their social network account it is something that gives them a lot of profit, no doubt that it is a big business for them, they will probably be able to accumulate a lot of money and they will be able to retire one day, but now looking at the casinos side, I am wondering if when a casino does partnership with one of these guys,

Does the casino put any clause that the guy who has these many followers should only advertise the casino he partnered with or he can advertise several casinos? I've been asking myself this question, anyway these numbers make the casinos have a lot of customers and obviously many people will also lose money in this process and in this part I wonder if these people who are the owners of the channels post with disclaimer and if they also explain about the dangers of people being in the world of gambling or just keep talking about gambling to gain referrals

We won't know such agreements as they won't disclose it to public.
But these influencers of course are always for the payday, so they can easily change what site they want to promote with.
Definitely, they won't stick to only one casino as this is their job to earn money, the more the better for their pockets.
With millions of followers, you can count that some of them will be really their affiliates, so that's nice passive income for them.
For people who are following them, should be careful on registering those sites, as high likely some of them are also scam sites.

Well I don't know for sure but I doubt if most influencer don't actually gamble, I mean c'mon gambling is quite hard to explain and convince others about a particular casino if you are not actually having some experience in these action in these casino. But it can be possible I don't know but I doubt it, but thats on my view or take on this as I don't actually the right answer.

I never thought gambling would be endorsed on TikTok but I think this will banned in the future even though it was just a short videos. I know Facebook tolerate these kind of things but TikTok is a different platform. Well, thanks for the lists OP and I appreciate it.

crazy numbers... did we know if these are "all" real followers? How many bots/fakes/etc are there? ::)

I don't use any of these social networks so they all accounts listed above by OP sound like complete strangers to me.

I think that as a gambling-themed influencer, It should be also mentioned Drake. His posts about his (crazy) bets on Stakes are very famous ... ok they are sponsored posts, ok it's not his main activity ( ;D ) but if I know him, I guess he's really famous in this activity and probably deserve a place on this list...

Tiktok is against promoting gambling on their platforms these accounts may be showing gambling-related videos but if they are promoting casinos openly they will get their account banned that is why we seldom see casino operators hiring Tiktokers to promote their platform, they know the risk and influencers run the risk of getting ban.
There are a lot of kinds of stuff that Tiktok do not allow on their platform and they have humans to check these ads or promotions.

All the above listed casino names, I didn't see any of the casinos that are in the forum. And one thing again, how did the op got all those names from? I have not seen gambling platforms in Instagram before. Though I am not a fan to Tktok but a fans to Instagram. I don't how truthful of the op list. Gambling videos are not advertise in Instagram and Tktok so I don't know how op come to list so much bogus list of Casinos to be seeing in Tiktok and Instagram.

Do we have any information about the specific gambling platforms that these influencers promote? It would be interesting to see which platforms pay influencers with the most followers.

Another unfortunate reality is that a big chunk of these influencers' followers, especially on TikTok, are probably kids who aren't allowed to gamble legally. It's concerning because promoting gambling platforms to an underage audience raises some ethical issues.

Do tiktok and insta allow gambling related stuff? Or at least intentional promotions anw. I know twitch and YouTube don't allow it (not anymore from what I know at least). If it's not allowed then there's really no point for the list, especially if you consider how most of them probably are centered with sports itself, and not much about gambling really.

Well it also doesn't really help how gambling games itself are simple in nature. Even famous charity poker tournaments of famous streamers are only done every now and then due to that.

Point of correction my friend. Those are not casinos, but social media accounts which promotes gambling activities specifically on Instagram & Tiktok, Read the title of the thread again and you will get to understand.
Secondly, I personally did my research on the top 2 tiktok accounts and all I could see are pure entertainment videos, which I'm going to blame O.P for spreading the information here without first verifying if truly those account offers gambling related contents.

I don't think that matters that much, I mean it does but if they have a lot of followers, they will still get a lot of endorsement from brands and platforms that want them to promote their services to their audience because if they have a lot of views and interactions from their audience, the promotions are more likely to get more results and that is basically what marketing teams look for.

Even if their followers don't support them for promoting gambling or they don't make all their videos and posts about gambling, they will still get a good response from their viewers if they do it and that is exactly what platforms aim for and that is why they hire certain influencers to become their partners.

Base on this article they didn't allow gambling promotions 

Check this.

https://www.tiktok.com/community-guidelines/en/regulated-commercial-activities/

But some influencers find ways to promote their activities so I guess they didn't get busted yet since no one is reporting their activity yet.  But there are people will report those accounts maybe tiktok might restrict those user who promotes gambling. I don't know if they are fast on taking action with this activities but since this written as illegal maybe they will not tolerate any gambling related actions.

I don't think all of them are regular gamblers. But they are gamblers. You won't be able to become a gambling influencer without being a real gambler. I believe all of them were regular at some point. Some of them are not regular anymore, but they have experience in gambling. I believe some of them are irregular because they earn enough money from their affiliates, and sometimes they gamble to check new platforms and sometimes for content. Without being a real gambler, You won't be evaluate a platform. An Influencer has to check many things before they promote a casino. Of course, these days, influencers do not care about that much. All they want is money.

Not all the listed accounts of OP are related to gambling. Instead, they are just making promotions with their content, and as far as I know, some of the social media platforms are banning direct advertisements of gambling casino. That's the reason why they have an ad for the video. They arent the ones who play. They are just the ones who promote that casino; there is nothing new about this because of a new era of users. Once they reach a specific number of followers,, some of marketing promotions seek them and ask for their price just to add the gambling casino to their videos. Reason why I didn't follow to much people in tiktok in gambling for me reliable more knowledge if related into finance, investments and trading.

We will never know whether they are real gamblers or just influencers who want to get referrals from what they show their followers. If they are real gamblers, they will show the moments of playing gambling so that their followers can see it or record when they are playing gambling.

But if they only say join me to experience the real gambling experience, maybe they are just influencers. It doesn't matter whether they are real gamblers or influencers because it depends on how we can control ourselves while watching the videos.

I guess not many know about the website for Twitter audit (https://twitteraudit.com/) but it shows the number of real and fake followers. In fact many sites use this to validate if their users are cheating them or not.


Yes, all gambling influencers do gamble and do promote gamblign services.
In fact, many influencers are being paid to promote gambling services which is one reason why many people are against influencers.
It's because influencers don't care which sites they are promoting and then users end up getting their money stuck in these scam sites.

That is a very nice list OP, good job!

Although I doubt that these Influencers will be able to bring anyone 100 million followers. Perhaps 1 million, but that is a very conservative "guesstimate". Furthermore, I suspect that many of those social media gambling influencers have probably done what most influencers do and padded their accounts with bought followers. It is almost impossible to tell how many are bought but I do not see how its possible to have 17 million followers and only a couple hundred comments and a few thousand likes on content. You would think they would have thousands of comments, at the very least.

I think they have cracked the tiktok algorithm where accounts can pass violation review.
The parameter on the terms is the "promotions" which is in my sense if it's explicitly offering a certain casino brand. If I notice further than the tiktok account at the top of the OP's list, it doesn't always create gambling related contents. I do not know if there is actually another crack than that.

I am aware of the reputation gambling influencers can have, and how they mostly take advantage of their viewers. Not all of them, but some.

I was rather referring to betting influencers, though. Those who want to build their social media by giving tips or analysis on incoming sport matches, one thing is to roll dices and slots in front of an audience, another different one is to offer advice on where to bet and end up not doing it. It may translate in a negative feedback from followers.

If I made a video analyzing and saying there is a high chance for a team to do well against other, people will expect me to bet on it, at the very least.

I am personally not interested in them because gambling should never be influenced by someone and it's your personal choice but they might be showing how they win big and this can be wrong interpretation for some who jumps with the same hope.But the luck factors are ignored by them so we should play on our will after understanding that we can loose and win both.

Yeah, I think there are old school gamblers who doesn't follow this influencers on whoever platform it is. I mean why we need to follow them in the first place? It's a impressive list and obviously, I don't know them at all.

Maybe I would have to search it in their platform and most likely watch some of them. But it doesn't mean that I will be on them and following and be influence on the way I gamble. Still up to me whether I feel like gambling in a certain day or not, or be sway by this so called influencers. So it's better to stay away from them, to be honest.

Yes, we don't need them, as we already have a place to look for the casinos we need.

And I think the influencer really is a person who is trying to dedicate his life to spreading the word about the development of gambling and not just about the casino. Maybe there are many influencers we don't know about who often share their stories of playing gambling or giving reviews about casinos.

But whatever it is, we should not be tempted to directly follow their actions because it is their job to provide information to their followers. We must regulate our gambling so that we can avoid losing money.

These channels or influencers is  their content really gambling alone? It is not like others that have their own content, then they are just putting it or inserting it because that is what I've noticed mostly with those influencers; they've just put hastags, links, or embedded some videos on their content. Also, I think in TikTok gambling is not allowed, or I've just missed it, so for sure these accounts are not really solely for gambling.

In general, direct advertising of gambling is prohibited on TikTok. Therefore, marketers use other methods. For example, they place promo codes and the logo of bookmakers, casinos, etc. on the video. These videos may absolutely not relate to gambling. Why are such ads not banned? Because the TikTok algorithms have not yet learned to recognize that there is a gambling advertisement on the video.

For example, a promo code from 1xbet or casino is posted on some funny video. In general, this is just a video about a funny situation not related to gambling. There are people on the video, the project logo, some text, etc. For TikTok, this is just a viral video, the algorithms do not see direct advertising, because the video is not about gambling.

Such a video can be banned, but not immediately. It can be displayed for a week, a month, 2, 3, etc., until users complain about it. In this case, the video will be checked by a bot that does not yet know how to recognize such advertising. And this video will continue to be shown until it is checked by a person. Up to this point, the video can gain thousands or millions of views. And not necessarily everyone who watched the video will go and use the promo code, however, such advertising will bring some traffic.

I agree with you. There are many reasons why businesses use influencers. The main goal is to attract new players to the gambling platforms. Will ONLY followers who gamble go there? It's a difficult question. Will such advertising bring in new users who have never played before? Yes. How many? That's another question. However, constant advertising will lead to people knowing about the projects being promoted. In this way, companies create an image.

Everyone who gambles today started somewhere. Some saw an advertisement, some were brought in by friends, some were looking for a football match and ended up on a sports betting website, and so on.

I want to say that advertising has multiple goals, and building brand recognition is not a quick process, but in the end, constant promotion will work.

Thanks for this great list, I might be late though because I don't know this influencers to be honest. Maybe they are doing it to promote a certain gambling sites for sure and maybe they are being paid to do it, part of the marketing arm and obviously this is a good strategy, otherwise they won't be promoting and this so called influencers will suddenly disappear.

Yes, I do agree that it has multiple goals but the main thing is that it could be recognised by everyone and that the platforms are going to be used any anyone because of this influencers.

Is it more effective to use platforms where gambling is partially allowed? I would say it's easier. But TikTok is a very popular social media that can bring traffic. There are many ways to bypass advertising restrictions. TikTok's algorithms can block direct advertising, but you don't have to say, "Here are the slots, spin and win $100,000." Instead, you can use any of the influencers mentioned above and buy advertising in a video that may not even be related to gambling. For example, you can insert the website's logo and promo code into such a video. TikTok's algorithms are not yet capable of analyzing this type of advertising. The video can be not about gambling, for instance, it could be a mini-vlog, but there is some text and images in it (in this case, the promo code and logo). Of course, someday they will start banning such videos as well, but during that time, millions of people will be able to see the advertisement. And then marketers will come up with new methods to bypass restrictions.

As for the collections, we have ready-made lists of influencers on Facebook (https://data40.com/downloads/gambling-igaming-facebook-marketing-inventory-list-2023/), Twitch (https://data40.com/downloads/gambling-igaming-twitch-marketing-inventory-list-2023/), Youtube (https://data40.com/downloads/gambling-igaming-youtube-marketing-inventory-list-2023/), Reddit (https://data40.com/downloads/gambling-igaming-reddit-marketing-inventory-list-2023/), Twitter (https://data40.com/downloads/gambling-igaming-twitter-marketing-inventory-list-2023/) and Telegram (https://data40.com/downloads/gambling-igaming-telegram-inventory-list-for-marketing-2023/). And I want to write a few more posts about influencers on these social media.

Never heard of any of these influencers and I have no idea why op thought that this was a good idea to begin with. Anyone with a half decent brain knows that the true top gambling accounts belong to celebrities like Drake etc.

Their influence could actually help gambling platforms in the short-term and long-term.

No one can overlook the colossal clout these web celebrities wield in this digital epoch. Still, the proposition of leveraging them to peddle betting pursuits? That's a curveball that's got a few folk scratching their heads, isn't it?

There's no question it's a sharp move if you're playing the marketing game, but we can't sidestep the moral quandaries that come knocking. Betting, it's a bit like handling dynamite, isn't it? When it gets out of hand, it's no pretty sight. And by pushing this onto the fresh-faced lot, we're potentially handing them a fuse and matchstick, aren't we?

What about putting a new spin on the strategy, though? Rather than just punting gambling, how about we tutor the fans about the snares hidden behind the fun facade, underline the need for a level-headed approach? Not only would this show we're batting for the ethical side, it might just polish up your brand's image too.

     -   Maybe not all of those influencers' followers follow them on the gambling advertisements they promote on the social media platform. Because we know that most of their followers only support them with the content they make on any social media platform like Instagram or Twitter.

And if anyone follows them, these followers are also gamblers for sure. But in fairness to these influencers, the number of their followers is actually staggering.

You're right, these numbers don't represent the actual number of real followers. Gathering information only involves the visual aspect, meaning it describes the number of followers that stated in profiles. When conducting a deep analysis, it's important to verify the page's statistics.

However, they still have an active audience, and the potential of TikTok and Instagram should not be underestimated. Videos posted here can be seen not only by the influencer's followers but also by others. If a viral video is created, it can generate free traffic.

I can't correct the title, but I have added a note stating that it was clickbait and I should have been more precise in the description. Thank you for noticing

Or maybe these influencer followers just want to know how to get people to join to earn commissions. There are many reasons for these influencer followers to follow them on their social media and it's true, not all of them are gambling because maybe they want to make friends and support each other in creating content. And the number of their followers can indeed be very large and this is what we have to find out how they can have that many followers. Maybe if we can have it, we can spread something useful to them.

Those influencer can earn thru views and also they can earn on referrals so don't get surprise for those influencer to be more eager to make their community big because this is how they earn. I also forgot that they can earn by donations so expect that they always share good things and avoid posting negatives since it can ruin their career or maybe their other recruits will doubt on them because they became suspicious on their intentions.

I guess that's the influencer's dilemma. If you want to earn, you need to grow your community and also propose good products that make sense. If you start promoting crap, people unfollow. I think that is precisely what people are looking for, someone who has an stake on actually being right in their appraisals. My guess is that really big celebrities actually care LESS than mid-rankers.

Famous celebrities and influencer's are different and we should not compare between the two. When it comes to celebrity's, they will charge you a lot for promotion of your product, ad or gambling site. Also we cannot become celebrities ourself.

On the other hand, influencer's can also help in promotion of the site however they may charge way less than the celebrities.
Also, if you to have presence on social media platforms, you can try and become an influencer yourself too. All you need is a community and community will come to you automatically if you offer a good service or education on social media.

It is true that if you provide a good service or education on social media about gambling then this credibility will increase. Social media influencers who rely on publishers for their content may earn more for a few months, but at the expense of fans and engagement, and ultimately because of their ongoing ability to generate more value, they also try to outdo themselves. Influencers usually grow their audience and increase audience engagement. This increases their value to partners willing to pay for audience access social media promotion is very good for them as they can improve the skills with which they can improve their site easily.

There are now lots of new strategies for influencers to grow their social media accounts and gain more followers. They can easily hire social media experts to help them gain more followers but that doesn't increase their credibility when it comes to the reliable services or legit promotions that they provide. The number of followers nowadays could easily be faked so it is hard to rely on that but rather on the reputation that these influencers have established.
Famous celebrities on the other hand can easily reach out to their viewers to gain followers so growing their community isn't as hard as ordinary people. They can ask for support based on the number of their fans and supporters so they can easily earn better when it comes to referral programs since they already know how to gain the trust of their followers.
There are actually underrated influencers nowadays that provide reliable and informative contents. As for me, it is better to rely on the content rather than the number of followers.

That makes many people want to become influencers because they see many influencers who have succeeded in becoming influencers and can earn income. But most influencers are still in the learning stage and looking for experience in creating content that attracts many people; on average, they create content about tutorials. And those influencers who already have a lot of followers get a lot of income from viewing their videos and also, sometimes, they share referral threads so that it will be an additional income for them if someone joins under them.

Well, it is not always the same, some influencers manage to become more famous and popular than some celebrities and they charge a lot of money even for a 10-second Instagram story, they get a lot of fans and followers and actually have some influence around the community, most of such influencers are gamers and because gaming industry keeps growing over time, these influencers manage to get more fame as well.

And, I don't think it's as easy as you say to become an influencer, if anyone could become an influences, I'm sure everyone would try it because there is a lot of money that can be earned as an influencer if you know how to do and manage things.

These numbers do not reflect the actual number of real followers. The collection of information includes only the visual aspect, that is, it describes the number of subscribers specified in the profiles.

^That is a crazy number of followers, you posted this on June 6 and now, I tried to check the Tiktok account of Barstool Sport on the top it's 27.3 million but now it's 29.3 million, how come that fast it has grown to 2 million in just 6 days.
As I see, influencers did not focus only on gambling and probably they actually gamble but for video content only for their vlogs.
However, that is a great list that you had. I only have a TikTok account than Instagram, let me see who are those on your list and if they are really interesting to follow.

These numbers reflect the amount of subscribers not as of June 6, the data was collected earlier. I only relied on the content of the datasets.

As for the content, as I wrote in the post, these accounts are not completely dedicated to gambling, these are profiles where gambling can advertise.

Yes, that's right, so it's not just spreading links or banners on social media accounts, there must be content such as video or live directly for education to guide followers who see them to play gambling properly to increase interaction as well as the audience playing gambling, sometimes what I see and encounter is There are many places where people who are paid by gambling sites spread spam links in the comments column on social media such as Instagram or other places and that is clearly a dirty promotion method.

I think education is also important, for example for influencers as well to prevent gamblers from becoming heavy addicts so that they play can control themselves while gambling and not exceed their limits, that is the important role of influencers who have many followers, especially social media that promotes gambling on Instagram or on tik tok.

Most content creators don't always focus on one thing especially if they are not on YouTube because only YouTube content creators tend to stick to a single genre of content because they have an audience that like only that sort of content and that is probably the reason why they've subscribed to him, but when it comes to other platforms such as TikTok and any other, content creators on such platforms tend to do all sorts of things.

They usually do this so that they can attract all sorts of brands towards their accounts and get endorsements from them and earn money because if they are focusing on one genre, marketers from other genres wouldn't choose them to advertise their platforms or services.

You can re-edit the title, but unless if you don't want to, because though the contents of the article might have been a clickbait, but I expected you to have verified it before bringing such contents on to this forum, because if a newbie happens to come across this article now, they will think those channels do have something to offer about gambling, not knowing it's contents are pure entertainment videos. So please, though "clickbait" is not against the rules on this forum, please let's try not to encourage such next time.

TikTok is not the only platform where gambling advertisements are prohibited. However, gambling is advertised everywhere. When I mention "gambling advertising", I don't mean direct promotion like "A guy won a $100,000 jackpot, want to win the same? Play roulette, here's the link to the website." There are many ways to bypass bans and restrictions.

No one can completely ban gambling advertising. As long as social media bring traffic, casinos, bookmakers, and others will buy advertisements. Marketers use not only influencer marketing, but also purchase contextual and targeted advertising. From this perspective, gambling advertising is important to the social media platforms themselves. Why? Because gambling advertising is one of the most expensive per click. As a result, advertisers get traffic, platforms where this advertising is shown get a percentage of each click, and everyone else gets information.

Oh! so, they mean they don't bet, lol

Look, I added five guys here from the forum, some are the best guys I know who bet and give good related posts, I not only consider them people who know.

Then, I even though I don't know them in person, his words/post in a general concept make them integral individuals, which is what an influencer should be, not only to show that he is an individual who bets but a coherent type in the sense of an integral life.

Take a walk around the forum and you will find these guys, they are out there, they is make replys to Topic/post.

All these tiktok and instagram accounts work as influencers and they take money for that so the sites they promote are not fully trusted because they never gamble on them they only promote them for money. these may be necessary for the gambling platform because they can promote their site there but it is not right for any gambler to choose these tiktok and instagram accounts as source of gambling site.  Because they can have high risk.

Even if people follow influencers for other reasons, they tend to use the products and services they promote because followers trust them. I think that's the essence of influencer marketing. Influencers influence people's choices, and brands that are promoted by influencers benefit from this influence. That's why we can see various advertisements from clothing stores to gambling from an influencer who creates, for example lifestyle content

The same happens with cryptocurrencies in general: the information you can get from most "influencers" will never be enough to make informed decisions, because it will be partial and biased. And that's why I find this forum a blessing, because you can see here the whole story, as you said, not only in the case of Bitcoin which is the main topic here, but in the case of gambling also. Because, while some shitposters will keep spamming here, like everywhere else, many veteran members wouldn't even consider giving a dishonest opinion.

They may be gamblers themselves and some may not even have interest in gambling but good at making promotional materials offers for industries and organizations, that's why they were called influencers, they have the very quality and package of getting people's attention on something and not only that, they also have a persuasive talent of convincing others to do something, but what is common with them is that they are mostly paid to engage such services.

I published a post dedicated to Twitch (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5456969.0), where you can find 40 accounts closer to gambling

Most of them do have that quality and that is the reason why get they famous in the first place, they have the ability convince people to use a product, or they have the charm to get people engaged and those who start liking them will like the products and services they promote so they use them because they feel proud in using products and services used by their favorite influencers while influencers don't actually use them but only take money and promote them.

However, that works for the brands and for the influencers as well, it is just the fans and followers who get fooled and they simply start using a product or a service without even knowing much about it and sometimes they turn out to not be worth it but most influencers don't really care about that.

Just as someone earlier said that a gambling influencer can be a gambler or not, but the most important thing here is that he/she must have knowledge about gambling before he could be called a gambling influencer, if not he is just an ordinary influencer promoting gambling related stuff, which for example we have seen the likes of Drake promoting "Stake" casino and "Snoog Dogg" promoting Roobet casino, of which though these guys are popularly known for music, but yet they promote gambling casinos.

Gambling influencers have good knowledge about gambling and they do listen to news and update there followers as fast as possible even people other people get the information. Since they are celebrities, they needed always carry there felowers along about the latest news and how to be a better gambler and a profitable gambler. There job might look easy but it's not, sometime, they give predictions to followers to that they can always have more followers and people that will be waiting to use there link for register on there preferable gambling platform.

Well what can you expect to them? They are just trying to earn money so expect that if we see them always pointing out a one casino to play and always show good results with them. Then we already know that they are not there to help there community but rather they exist to entertain and trying to accumulate more sponsors or donators in their streams. But still if we just don't look up with the hype we can still learn from them and that is one we should look after with multiple influencers we possibly watch.

Not all streamers or promoters are gamblers anyway therefore, it shouldn't be surprising to know that many of them are just after the money, as their reason to do so.But eitherway, it is not always on a bad side. They are still a help to some gamblers who are building interest with a particular gambling site. These streamers would give them initial thought whether to continue their engagement or to look for other options. There's no rule in the first place that streamers should be players of the thing they are promoting. It is just that such feature of them could help them to be more knowledgeable of the things they are trying to offer to their audiences.

Well, for me, from the early days of me starting to gamble, I've never given attention to streamers, though like you said, alot can still be leant from them but still on still, their major purpose is to sell a product, and what product are they selling you might want to ask, the casino of course, they are paid to do whatever they do, even when we watch them gamble live and lose the money, believe me, those monies they loose are theirs but that of the casino they are promoting, so it is just what it is, and not like it's a bad thing what they do, but just that, many a times, this people lead a lot of gamblers astray without even looking back, cus all they really care for is to get paid.

Never heard of any except the top two.

Anywhere you got this information is a bad source. Influencers don't care about you, they only care about how much they can make in commission or direct payment from influencing you to make us of the product they're promoting. Influencers only cares about how their sales are doing.

Influencers doesn't necessary means they've to understand what they're marketing. There are just like those use for those commercials that you see on your screen, they try to sell you something and you buy just because of how they make you feel that's what influencing is all about.

Only a very few influencer actually make use for the product they're advertising and those are usually critics  because they have to give you reasons why that product or service is awful to be used. And for the critics to get more audience they have to be truthful or they'll be exposed as fraud.

Never heard of any of these streamers though I am only active on Instagram to be fair. Crypto gambling sites usually stand to benefit a lot more from more popular celebrities like Drake, Snoop etc when compared to these streamers.

However, smaller sites end up relying on these streamers due to budget constraints which is a risky gamble overall.

There is obviously a very big difference between a celebrity and an influencer, not every casino or gambling platform can afford to become partners with celebrities whether they are from sports industry or film industry or music industry, because a partnership with one of these celebrities would cost the casino way higher than having multiple influencers promote their services but the impact of all of them combined won't be enough to compete with one of the celebrity's.

Even among influencers, those who have a lot of followers and people watch them very often and they have a lot of views and interactions on their videos and live streams tend to charge more money for promotions than those influencers who are relatively new and has less followers or even if they have many followers but they don't get enough views and interactions.

I don't see so much difference with them. Some influencers are small celebrities or big celebrities and some high ranked celebrities do influence with everything they do no matter if they wanted to influence or not. Just what they are wearing is a statement of trend to some people.

I see people calling themselves influencers just as low status celebrities, but i do underestimate them often. As internet celebrities/influencers aren't working on traditional media, they often get overlooked even though they could have more followers then traditional hollywood or sports celebrities.

Wrong. As @o48o mentioned, there is no difference between celebrities and influencers since influencers are small-scale celebrities basically. This is why they charge way lower when compared to top tier celebrities.

I do agree with your statement about a single top-tier celebrity's influence being greater than the combined impact of multiple influencers.

You've answered the question yourself already mate, most of the gambling influencers, don't even know their way around gambling, they only put out what's needed with the help of the casino and this is why it's expedient you get to make your own research before using a gambling platform, if you trust everything that's put out to be white, it's at your own peril

Also, not many celebrities want to work with casinos because they think about the reputation it has built. And also, they don't want to see their fans playing gambling and getting addicted. But if it's an influencer, the casino can offer them cooperation, especially if the influencer has a lot of fans and often gambles. This will make it easier for the casino to offer the influencer to accept it.

But the casino also doesn't offer cooperation to just any influencer and only chooses influencers with a lot of followers so that lots of people will see videos from that influencer. And usually, if the casino has found the influencer they are looking for, the cooperation offer will last a long time because each casino and the influencer can both benefit.

As for Drake and Snoop, I believe that these musicians are gamblers from their youthful age based on the street life that they lived. If you are brought up in such hood where they grow up,you must gamble because they do it for fun and not for profit. It is true that some influencers font gamble but they understand what gambling is and maybe some of them are retired gamblers who quitted due to some personal reasons. But for them to bet on the casino that they are showcasing, I doubt  that they do. Influencers are only after their pay and don't think of the followers,if they are misleading them or not. Followers who get carried away by these influencers are the victims to the products

Influencers do not need to specialize in the field that they need to promote however they need to have an audience who have interest in the field which the influencer speaks about.

So those influencers who regularly make the content on gambling, if the gambling site approaches them , they could be more beneficial for them. Also the more the influencers have the audience and the followers , the more they will charge for the promotion.

Yeah right, I rarely see them go for gambling promotion, that's because maybe they think about reputation like you said. But apart from all that, of course I see more of them (influencers) who are more active on social media and more interactive with their fans. I actually don't want to differentiate between celebrities and influencers, but there is a slight difference between them.
They (what we call influencers) are interactive with their fans which is a distinct advantage, because someone who follows them on social media will feel closer and after that they will definitely want to try something that influencer does.

Instead of destroying his reputation by receiving gambling advertisements, it would be better for the celebrity not to accept gambling-related advertisements. They also don't want to be blamed if something happens to their fans because they realize that whatever they do can impact their fans.

The influencer may not really care about what people will think so they instead busy themselves with things that can provide pleasure and income for them. Also, the influencers want to build their reputation without thinking too complicated like those celebrities, because they share something they know with their fans. But the influencer has also given the risks behind it, so the fans' decision is theirs.

You are right on that point, most of those influencers are not actually gamblers, they are just used and paid by gambling or casino owners because of their millions of followers and their ability to influence most people to gamble their followers

It's also possible that after becoming an endorser of the casinos they campaigned on, that's when the other influencers learned that too in my opinion. Because the market of those influencers are followers or subscribers, that's the truth.

I just had a look at bleacherreport. why is this even in the list if it is about sports?

I think that most are just influencers.

i also think that most of them are just paid influencers not hard core gamblers. or who knows, because they are already promoting the casino, they will soon find out that they are also gamblers by heart? but i believe most of them are just converted gamblers, as they want to earn money, they need to live like one as well. and if they are into money, they can easily hop from one casino to another, where the pay is better. they can easily do this if they have good following already.

Yes most of the influencers don't know much about gambling and they don't even gamble on any site they just create a content according to the script and put sponsors there. and through that sponsor they get huge payment which is their content as well as additional income. and influencers choose gambling sites more because only gambling companies pay huge amount for their promotion which no other company does.

The number of followers are huge for these accounts and they must be making millions of dollars in advertising, promoting the gambling sites and other ways of money making through shared profits. This is just amazing to see how peeps have grown their account under the niche of gambling too. This makes sense how big niche is this and how followers are crazy to get into the gambling field. Obviously when it comes to gambling most of the peeps are choosing it as a way to make quick money and try their luck hard. I can’t imagine how his account must be getting flooded when they go live for any gambling session. Just insane.

Well, yeah, regardless of the fact that some of those followers might no longer be online for whatever reasons, and that some are bots no doubt, I still consider that a huge follower base as well..

Gambling has always a big part of our economy, with all that people are going through economically, many are in search of ways they could earn instant money either as a side hustle or their main as their main source of livelihood, and when it comes to the ability to make instant money with the most minimum investment, gambling is the only niche that makes such possible for those that are lucky, so personally, I am not surprised at the huge interest people around the world have in gambling.

Most of the influencers don't have a specific type of content that they make or a single genre that they use for their content, they simply create videos or literally everything they can, so for someone who makes videos on sports, it's not a big deal to create videos or promotions for gambling platforms, and who wouldn't do it if they are getting money, right? So it doesn't really matter what one does, they will still promote a platform if asked.

The only thing that matters for the platform choosing an influencer to promote them is how active and engaging of an audience they have, because at the end of the day, the interactions and reactions of the audience is what matters because they are the ones the service is being advertised to.

You got a point there. It reminds me the case of a Youtuber I used to follow years ago, he focused on horror videogames and eventually moved onto all kinds of videogames, not only horror.

To my surprise, I re-visited his channel to realize he had got an sponsorship from a casino, even though he never streamed himself gambling or betting. In the end, if the person has a big enough impact in the audience all sorts of sponsors will appear.

These casino owners are also in the hunt of influencers who has a large following.
Of course, they would want to pay someone that will really give some players on their platform.
Because they will be wasting their money if they will just pay for a random Youtuber or influencer.
And they will also assess if such influencer is good for long-term or just short-term ambassador.
They will know such impact how his followers are reacting on his videos for example.

Yeah, I agree. The casino marketing team and management look for potential social media influencers who can bring new user flow to the website. The more followers and influence power such influencers have the higher the contract payment ratio will be. Old casino streaming platforms are not any more popular due to the decreasing demand but there is always potential on various social media platforms. Maybe we also should try our social media skills and join the current trend, that is how majority of the current streamers have started their journey.

Personally, I consider anyone who promotes a service that he is not interested in or he didn't try it himself a cheater. He is deceiving his followers. How can you guarantee the quality of the service if you didn't test it or don't even know what it's all about!
Second, for business owners, I believe it's more profitable to advertise your service on channels which most of their followers are interested on the service you offer even if they have a small number of followers. It's not about the number of views but about the number of potential customers.

I agree with you on this one.

The reason on why most social media promoters have lots of followers are due to their original content. Some online gambling websites approach these said influencers to insert an advertisement on a given gambling platform.

I remember, I was watching this YouTuber who frequently shares fails and jokes. After 1-2 years of being famous, he then inserted a promotion and advertisement about a said gambling website at the end of his videos. Though I do understand that they have to make a living, it somehow turned me off a bit.

I have to ask: Do you use and have tested the service you are promoting in your sig?

You are absolutely right, those aren't real gamblers and they don't have anything with gambling. They are mainly there to earn money from those gambling sites which want the promotion from those social media influencers. I have seen many channels on YouTube that were playing games in a way that only a newbie would play, but still the audience were following those influencers.

I'm pretty sure that they get some special treatment from the gambling sites that want to attract far higher number of users, and I'm quite sure that they gambling sites are paying those influencers in premium. Another thing that I noticed is that most of those gamblers are also earning via referral programs, they are doing affiliate marketing to earn enough income that way as well.

Thanks for the information. Love to see that those promoting gambling are not real gamblers and taking promotions to get some paper money like a lot of those fake streamer who gets money from casino deals. Pretty sad.

Social media happens to be one of the fastest means of transferring information and creating awareness about a new innovated idea of gambling. I would preferred to make my own crucial research than just sticking to what the public offers. Mapping out thoroughly from the piece of information passed down. There are countless social media influencers out there that have multiple millions followers and its generate more prominent communities. I wouldn't advised any gambler to follow up these influencers because most of them are not even into gambling, they just advised these sited and gets paid, nothing else.

Those who blindly follow social media influencers, streamers, and anyone who they like, and do whatever they do or whatever they say will always be in loss because they don't use their own brain and just listen to them and act upon that. If they are gambling, their followers will start gambling too, and that is the biggest reason why casinos partner up with influencers and streamers so that they can promote their platforms because the casinos will get a lot of users after that.

A sensible person would never just blindly follow someone for whatever they do, even if they like something they see or hear, they will always do their own research about that thing first and then they will get involved so that they are aware of the outcomes of the actions that they are going to take.
