Rise of Streamers in Online Gambling

[Kakmakr]

Well, Twitch is a bit picky and full of shit when it comes to gambling on it's platform. You are not allowed to post your affiliate links anymore and you are not allowed to advertise the domain of the site that you are gambling on.

This is why Eddie (co-owner) of Stake.com moved away from Twitch and he is now streaming on DLive.    In any way.... Slot streaming will go down, when these platforms start to make more strict rules.

Dlive? As I remember, the last time I visited that page there's a few number of streamers it is good that some streamers switch to that website. I think they still have BTT stale in that site right? I stake my btt las t 2020 in that website  earn some btt as well because of streaming. Dlive is good actually, but switch is more popular and having more users and good UI as well.

Watched another stream today. The streamer lost 500k rubles (about 9,000 dollars) - for my country this is a lot of money. Again, everything was clear right away - even in the broadcast chat, many wrote that the streamer plays completely without emotions, as if for fake money.
I can say that before I was prejudiced about slots, now with disgust - from the outside it looks so stupid ... Just press the button and watch your balance go to zero.

That's why we call slots a luck base games because you don't need to have anything as you have said, just press the button (depending on how much you want to bet) and see how your luck goes. I will assume that the streamer was putting max beat that's why in matter of minutes he lost that huge amount.

And yes, maybe the comments is just about right, as you have said, that money is already a huge amount in your country and this guy just play it like nothing and maybe it was fake money after all just to promote the casino itself.

If we take a mathematical basis, then slots can be compared with dice. But for some reason, in dice, the game looks like a real contest with randomness when you change the bet size, the probability of winning and the payout size during the game (or set up auto-betting for example Martingale). Slots look like random pictures that are shown to the player while his deposit is melting. I can't understand it.

Of course, they are in exchange for shilling their casino, not all streamers are good at gambling and if they are promoting casinos and gambling in their channel they should show that they are winning, to the point that they are manipulating their broadcast,

Did gamble need a special skill? I didn't even think if that needs it. The main target to make others or viewers are joining in the platforms. Seeing some streamers lost about hundreds thousands dollars in a day was a bit surprised to see that. The platform itself was helping them to do that. I rarely or even never seen someone who didn't affiliate with gambling platform can get like hundred of multipliers.

IMO, that doesn't matter anyway since slot only has 2.6% of the total viewers. It still depends on the age of the viewers as they might have different interests, or maybe Fortnite is not that popular for gamers that's why they have lower viewers compared to slots which is easier to play and understand.

Maybe for you it doesn't really matter but for him it does since he sees that slots overcome fortnite and csgo which two of the many popular video games today. Yes you are right. Different age means different interest. If you are a kid you will love minecraft and other games which has a cute graphics and gameplay but for a much older person, they are into action and mind games like league of legends.

Fortnite and cs go is an fps game but they were not really new compare to valorant and others in the list. Maybe that's the reason why the viewers or the games got lessened over time. Slots on the other hand is more in gambling and not really a game but a lot of streamers are using twitch to stream their play.

^ I saw a lot of streamers when performing while taking a live video it seems they are having fun of it, though we don't know if that is the way how to promote a gambling casino or just they know how a viewer feels bored if that is not having fun. First I am thinking this because of the affiliate they promote a casino but I heard one of my friends who are streamer too they promote gambling casinos because they will receive a lot of benefits on it, they will be paid by the company and their account also have a free bet that can make money too when they will win and plus factor they will earn from their followers. So possible reason that the streamers risen because of possible easy making money.

While that percentage may not seem to be on the high side that puts slots as one of top 10 games that people are watching, so it is not a small amount if you think about it, what interest me is how slots got so popular all of a sudden when it comes to streaming? I know they are very popular as it is the most common casino game that you are going to find at a psychical casino, but to think that even online their popularity is so high is something that amazes me, as not only people like to play slots now they even like to watch someone else to play them.

I agree, I don't have the figures, but perhaps slots is one of the most played games whether online and offline. And as far as experience goes, playing slots for more than a decade, gamblers love them, although it is one of the worst game to be played but still it attracts a lot. And this platform knows it, and that is why they have sponsored streamers who have a lot of followers because they knew they can get someone to play in their casino if these streamers are going to advertised it in their channels.

But from this, we may also see how children are also increasing in playing slots. This is dilema

Don't blame the advertisers or streamers for that. The internet is widely open to everyone.

Aside from that, most children are techy nowadays and even though they will be prohibited to do gambling, they will encounter that while they grow.

And sometimes, it's not the content that streamers are being watched but the popularity as I'm sure streamers are not focusing on the same content.

That's a wise thought and true because the internet is available to anyone who wants to explore all sorts of things, including gambling. We have to pay attention to the children who are in this day and age because they seem to understand the internet better than their parents so they can know how to access things they shouldn't know. If we as parents can tell them how to access the internet properly, they will not use it for unnecessary things and will not be influenced by streamers trying to provide their content.

In line with what you are saying, the kids should be guarded well as we all know that the influence of internet is really wide and without any doubt streamers are everywhere, once the kids gain interest to whatever kind of videos being hypes the curiosity about them can lead them to gambling, it's still the parents responsibilities to keep their kids away from this kind of exposures.

Make sure that you are aware of what your kids are visiting online and what they are doing in each time they are in front of the internet.

Taking care of children when they use the internet is a must, especially when children are vulnerable to getting content they don't deserve to see. We have seen many cases imitated by small children who are not yet adults. They learn to imitate what they watch on Youtube and use it with their friends. When they used it on the older people, they would be surprised because they wouldn't know where the kids got it from.

This is what parents who still have minors need to be aware of who easily use smartphones to access the internet. They will also easily see content in the form of violence, gambling, free sex and so on.

I think there are applications, tv features that limit the applications and sites the children can access.  I think it is under the parental control option of a gadget.  We just need to block known sites that are harmful to children.  There is also a customization method offered in google wherein harmful to children youtube channels can be blocked.  This might solve the problem of the possible exposure of children to the Rising numbers of gambling streamers.

I don't think streamers are playing with fake money.  Because if it is fake money then a demo can be seen on the stream.  I believe it is sponsored money.  they are betting with real money but it is sponsored so it isn't their own money so they don't care if they lose all those huge amounts but of course, they wanted to win because of the promised commissions on those winnings.  

Obviously, there is no such case that streamers are using fake money. How can they even do that or make it possible to use fake money or credits?

Most provably the casino they promote give them free credits or account to use upon their stream time so that they can make there game plays legitimate so that many people could also feel the intensity of the game what the streamers had at that time and this could rise curiosity. This can easily be set up by them since for sure no streamers will bust their huge amount of money for thousands of views only since for sure this will not give them profits.

Of course, they are in exchange for shilling their casino, not all streamers are good at gambling and if they are promoting casinos and gambling in their channel they should show that they are winning, to the point that they are manipulating their broadcast, I am not a big fan of streamers there are a lot of streamers in the past that I followed about investing in altcoins they are good at shilling but not good at predicting the future of the project that they are shilling and I lose a lot following their advice and shills, I just knew that it is the same case here in gambling.

That's how I open up my eyes towards their intention because if there's money involve those people will not really give real contents which can help their viewers. They always make them are their cash cow this is why we should do our research and never get hype with those platforms they promote. And its a same situation with altcoin scene so best for that is we maybe watch them for entertainment but don't try to go above on what those streamers show.

Since Twitch is now getting bigger, expect that the platform will have more strict rules.

Not sure though but maybe part of the regulations. Just like on Youtube.

Youtube before is not that strict regarding gambling content but look at them now, banning channels related to gambling content without giving the specific reason of why that channel ban or what thing they violated on Youtube's terms. It's still fine to stream gambling on Youtube but there are rules now.

Does it really a concern for others?

What I mean is, that these kids won't be really interested in this gambling-related content. They will still watch other content compared to these gambling streams. They won't spend time watching those but what will they do is actually experience the gambling right away.

And what is the age range we are talking about here that we considered as a children?

is gambling going to be like Fortnite where it was really popular but the hype for it went down by time ? probably not, most streamers gambling use bonuses and contracts with casinos to gamble on stream and keep the profit if they reached the requirements, so it will stay beneficial for them to keep gambling on stream, even if their viewers go down a bit they still have a contract with the casino, and gambling is addictive even if you watch some gambling, you want to see what's gonna happen everytime and I'm guilty of that, I find myself watching gambling streams for hours.

Yes, a feature restricts children from accessing something that is not allowed to them. But apparently, today's children are smarter than previous generations so they can still break through those restrictions easily and even use them with their friends. But indeed, the restriction feature for minors can help parents to control the use of cell phones for their children so that their children do not cross the line in using the internet.

I think the rise of streamers is happening everywhere. Not only in online gambling.

In this case, bookmakers and casinos have adapted to our times. Everything evolves and so does advertising. With the number of followers that some streamers have, this advertising is much more effective than traditional advertising, so they should get a good return on your investment by paying these streamers.

Streamers now are raising their flags all over the world , in every areas there are streamers that brings and create money from all over the place .

and also they have been making each businesses a favor for how they will promote them , so Indeed that it is not only in this area of gambling but everything that internet connected .

They can do that because of the wide reach that they have.

So, casinos also do take advantage of it by giving them some opportunities that will also help them to get more the target audience and customers that they need.

That's why it is not only the casinos that do use streamers for promotion, as long as the streamer has a certain niche for its audience, a company that focuses on that area will also give them opportunities.

[TopTort777]

I am not surprise of a streamers rise situation. It does not necessary to have a top-end PC or laptop to start streaming. Devices are cheap and accessible. Lots of aftermarket devices for every budget. The internet is everywhere, it is cheap and affordable, it can even be free. Gambling is also available for masses of people. You dont event have to pass a KYC to register and get yourself an affiliate link, and casinos are interested to attracting new customers with every possible way.

That makes sense, personally I have never liked slots because their odds are simply terrible, there are many other games in which your chances are way better and as such you can gamble for a longer amount of time while at the same time you can save money, however since slots are so popular among gamblers it also makes sense that they are willing to watch streamers while they gamble at different slots as this gives them an idea of how a particular slot works without having to spend any money on their own.
