Rise of Streamers in Online Gambling

[makishart]

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.

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 do agree with it. There are so many categories on twitch but slots is able to be the one of most watched. This is also a very good achievement so far. People are looking for something entertain that can makes them feel funny when they were watching it.
To be honest when it was watching streamer and it seems like i were also playing slots. That may make people started to feel that if slots were good enough to be used as entertain.

If you feel that way, it would be easy for you to get encouraged and play the slot too. Streamers who know how to play

with their audiences are gaining interest and possibly lead the viewers to play along with them,
and that's the time casino owners will interact and ask for streamers advertisement, they will gain
money from both sides, streamers will receive a good paycheck and casinos will earn clients that
will play using their platforms.

I know the feeling mate, it seems that you would like to be that guy to beat huge and max bet like $10 or more per spin. Nevertheless we have to understand that this is promotion for the casinos and if ever you get attracted and want to play like the streamers then you fall for their trick already. That's why even watching them, you really have to control yourself and not to gamble because you wanted to win big as well.

Self-restraint is really a must if you don't want to get lost in gambling. You can try to watch different streams to check how the casinos have their games set up and how good is the processing of transaction as well as the quality of service they offer overall. These streamers are often paid to do their job which is to promote and encourage their viewers and followers to try and gamble as well in the hopes of winning. Despite all of the good feedback they provide, you must still be wary because their task is to attract new players and depositors. If you will be reckless, you might end up regretting because of expectations vs. reality set-up.

It's still much better to always countercheck everything you hear, read, or watch so that you won't fall victim to their tricks for them to profit.

well I think so. I'm quite skeptical for streamers, most of them are pure professionals who are doing promotions.
I don't think it's much different from streamers on other channels, there are many streamers like on social media or YT, although I'm not saying for all streamers.
however, the streamers act professionally to attract large audiences with various tips and tricks in their slot games. I think they do it purely for entertainment because they won't lose any money. as you said, they will get money from both sides.
well, even so I think there is nothing wrong if someone wants to make streaming as a profession.

I saw on the news that the xQc streamer made $686 million worth of bets in three months, but I can not find a reliable source to confirm this news. Have you heard anything about it? If this is true, then in my opinion this is a clear disrespect for his viewers, since it is obvious that all the money from this amount is fake - he clearly could not wage such a huge amount.

The best way to confirm any claims 'I won x amount of money in betting' is to get his tax and income report. If he indeed won $686 million worth of bets, it can be easily cross-checked. I don't know much about this xQc streamer but from a google search, he's a Canadian and they do not have to pay taxes on gambling winnings. This might be hard for you to verify his claim after all.

Guessing by his name xQc streamer , it seems that he is a streamer so he must have uploaded his video of proof somewhere online. You can check it from his channel or give his streaming channel link here and we may also investigate if it's true news.

$686 million worth of bets is a big number and that too in only three months is hard to believe. Sometimes streamers do spread such clickbait news to gain attention.

In that case, It's hard to verify about the winnings he declared. Though it's possible since he said that he has a gambling addiction according to the article I read. Gambling streams is now starting to get popular on twitch and there are some viewers who are telling twitch to stop gambling streams, as for the reason I don't know but maybe it's about the possible gambling influence that this streamers can do on his viewers especially on underaged viewers.

I made a quick search on the internet.
Considering that last year there was a major leak on Twitch which revealed the payouts of their streamers and the source code of the platform as well, I assume it would have been easier for Internet detectives to approximate this guys's net worth having this information on hand.

Info: https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/the-entirety-of-twitch-has-reportedly-been-leaked/

Keeping this in mind, and looking for his net worth as 2022, multiple sources place it on about 9 million - 12 million. If this is true then we could assume those bets were frictional, sponsored or something similar.

You can see an example of the payouts leaked here: https://twitter.com/KnowS0mething/status/1445663228831297545

I’ve been watching many streamers on twitch and youtube for more than a years. I always craved to play gambling everytime I watch them winning huge amount. I find there video streaming very encouraging most of the time because I feel like I can win too everytime they are winning.

We all know that Drake is the most famous streamer on this industry but before Drake, There’s a lot pf streamer that is popular on the slot category on twitch. I prepared some data below on how much viewers interested on gambling streams compared to typical online games streams.

As you notice in the chart, Slots Channel got more viewers than other famous games such as Fortnite and CS:GO. This starts during pandemic which many streamers shift from online gaming to the onlime gambling category.

Many famous Casino is now doing partnership on different streamers. So in conclusion, Streamers contributes a lot on the increase of popularity of online gambling.

It's pretty crazy that slots has made it's way up into such a high position and I wonder if Twitch is actually getting a bit of money on the side to allow it, as they are effectively advertising gambling products - plus they are able to make up any sort of viewer levels that they want without any scrutiny. Online casinos can make huge amounts of money and I'm sure plenty of them would be happy to channel some of that to Twitch to get access to their prime younger audience of viewers. Either way it's maybe slightly irresponsible of them, because there are a lot of younger children who watch all of the other games and could stumble on to these habit forming games.

I'm not aware of that streamer but I don't find that thing disrespecting his viewers. I don't even find it as big deal to think of. It's true that he made that worth of bets "on his content" and that's a fact. Now for the money he used on that purpose, we don't have to actually know if it's came from whatever sources. If he's a clear affiliated to the gambling site he was always showing as a content, then I think his viewers knows already where should the money came from.

And on that stream, even he's not using his own money, the odds of winning are also applies to that streamer. Basically, he is just showing his viewers the content on his experience on that particular session. Viewers don't even care if the money wagered was by the streamer itself or sponsored. That's not the reason why these viewers are watching the content.

Pointless and who are you for him to grant such request unless if there would be some majority query of his viewers telling him on showing up some proofs that he had really used his own money.

If we do base up those numbers then it cant really be just easily to believe that someone who do make out streams and wager or earn millions of dollars seems really that impossible

and turns out to be that an obvious thing that this was a fake funds or solely been funded by the casino itself and just to make look that they are using real money.

I think tax and income report are a personal matter already and won't be possible to shown in public but on some sites like stake for example, it's possible to request a detailed statistic or report about your gambling activities.

I don't know if what gambling site that streamer play but he can try to request on the site where he play and that's the one he can show to his viewer. Maybe on some gambling sites, your stats are already recorded on your profile. That can work too. He is a streamer so it's not shocking that he can bet an amount like that because the money that he was using was not from his own pocket anyway.

You can check it from here. He says that he wagered that much, but also we do not know when he wagered it, so that means it could have been back when bitcoin was 1k, which is still a lot of course I am not denying that but he could have done that, I do not know when Stake started but he could have started on early days and wagered a lot as well during those days when bitcoin was cheap.

All in all I believe that he wagered way too much, and that's the proof, maybe he is using someone else's account, who knows? But I prefer to believe him because if he is super rich, then wagering that much seems possible, not "losing" is the important word here, he didn't lose that much, he wagered that much.

You spoke so much on behalf of his viewers as if people don't have different points of view. I don't know this streamer and I don't know his audience, but I think that someone will take this as a dishonest (fake money game). Also, objectively speaking, on what basis can we assume that he (and similar streamers) really has a fair odds? If he has fake money, then why can't he have fake odds?

Only a few online gambling places implement such a system because the rest don't think about taxes, what they think about as developers is just making gambling places that are easy and friendly to use and fun which ultimately makes them gamblers entertained and happy, because in fact when gambling is already liked by users, they will not think about the amount of bets used.

My advice is to choose a gambling place that is not too complicated with taxes or whatever and has very high security privacy.

is it overall bet from him? I didn't even think if all of money were real money. I don't even believe if a streamer has hundreds millions dollars to be used to bet in the gambling platform. It's obvious a fake money that being used by him. You can imagine how much he was loosing when gambling with such money.

That could be fake because he's also promoting the site. I guess that's another strategy for that streamer to attract more players. He could also say that he's been continuously winning over the house to impress his viewers and to build up a good impression of the site. Their winnings as well as their records of bets are unreliable.

I will add one more question that is he do these bet on only one sites ? If that's the case then I think it's really disrespectful to the viewers. And it is true that this is nothing new now that many YouTubers many gambling review sites are doing fake promotion in exchange of money. And I think something like that happened here .Because it is truly incredible that this amount has been gambled away
