Does casino streamers have influence in your gambling life?

[junder]

Even so, I think they can get a large number of followers, the reason is because online gambling is currently busy, with them gambling at the same time as advertising the gambling site, it is very possible for them to get profits which may be large because in my opinion, even though the percentage of profits is small, one person clicks on the link, but if they have a lot of viewers and followers, it will automatically make many people click on the link that they have embedded. So even though the profit is small, if lots of people click, the profit can be big. also with an influencer who collaborates with a casino industry company, he definitely gets his share of the profits, and also in my opinion, the profits that an influencer gets are in two parts, where he gets a definite profit from the casino that is advertised, and he gets a profit from the number of people who click on the link that has been embedded. What you say is correct, this is a business that is mutually beneficial for both parties, but for the third party (gamblers) the profits cannot be guaranteed to be easy to obtain, but most likely they will only suffer losses, where the gambler's losses are profits for the gambling industry company. . and that is their main goal in holding offline or online gambling.

Many experience big losses, perhaps because they cannot see this side, where they only think that gambling can produce big profits by gambling. even though if you look closely, gambling is not a means of making money, it is just a means of paid entertainment, and there are winning bonuses that can be obtained if you are lucky. However, there are gamblers who force themselves to win, where they gamble by forcing themselves to win so they spend a lot of money to get a big win. but even if they force themselves like that, if luck is not on their side, they will not be able to win. it's just a loss. So, the profits for third parties cannot be accurately ascertained, unlike influencers and their gambling industry companies, which will clearly benefit with certainty.

The benefit of the influencer is certain and stamped by the casino once the followers of the influencer comply in clicking those links. However, a follower or two may be lucky enough to win using the link, and they'll not hesitate in telling others about their wins, which can push more people to try it out. Hence, the influencer, is quite ahead and won't lack subscribers. In a whole lot of people, it's certain to have people who are not well informed about how gambling works. They'll end up making mistakes, in a rush to win like their counterparts who just announced their wins on social media.

It'll be difficult to achieve the need for every gambler to be knowledgeable on the importance of staying out of addiction. As such moves helps in getting a person addicted, due to the constant loss of money, and chases of loss. On a good note, the influencer is also in position to discuss responsible gambling with his fans or followers. At least to get them out of trouble. He, the influencer, may think that if he does that, few people would be interested in following his links, but I think he'll still be getting reasonable click, while maintaining sound health for his followers.

yes that's right, maybe there are some people who were able to get winnings by using the link they clicked on, and they don't hesitate to recommend the casino that gave them winnings to other people including friends maybe who still like gambling. In this way, of course, more profits can be obtained for the casino, the more people who gamble at the casino, the greater the profits. Even though there are some gamblers who win, it doesn't mean they lose, because the win that the gambler gets is the loss of the other gambler. In my opinion, in gambling, our money is rotated, when we gamble and lose, there is a win on the other side, too. Conversely, when we win, there are gamblers who lose. if they are friends and both like gambling, of course when one wins they will ask the casino that gave them their winnings and try their luck, but even if they try at the same casino as their friend who won, it cannot guarantee that they will win too, because luck is different, maybe he was lucky at this casino, but not at another casino. also vice versa, maybe they were unlucky at the casino that gave their friend their winnings but were lucky at another casino. Also, if the friend who wins gives instructions on the steps that must be taken which are exactly the same as what they did when they won, it cannot guarantee that they will win.

The lure of winning will of course lead them to become addicted, thinking about winning at gambling will pave the way for them to become addicted which will most likely be detrimental to themselves. with thoughts like that that only think about winning, they will gamble and when they lose they won't care about it, they can gamble again because of the strong urge to win, it's true what you said they can lose money continuously.
is it really like that? I'm not sure about that. I think someone who is addicted to gambling is an individual problem, so I think influencers don't care about what happens to those who gamble, because they only think about profit.

I must admit, I play those slots for at least a bit quite often when I see a streamer wins a good amount. I know it doesn't mean I will win too, but I like to try my luck on those slots. It's fun. Never won anything significant this way so far though. Maybe next time, who knows?

There's something hype could bring on those winnings that's why we want to try to test out if we experience the same result and its normal especially if we are regularly watching those casino streamers, And nothing wrong with this if people think about that its bad to follow what streamers do since they are for clout, but as long as we are fine and can able to spend on the games we want to try which they stream then its good as long as we enjoy that game.

Also right who knows there will be time if luck will be in our side and we win. Some maybe say that its bad to follow them since they are for pure hype but once we know what we are doing for sure everything there will be favorable to us especially if we are only seeking for short fun.

Actually casino stremers show impressions that can make someone trapped in the same sensations and hallucinations so that some people without thinking immediately try to follow what the stremers do with the aim and hope of getting the same winning results, and the problem and concern is that they follow something that has basically been manipulated behind the scenes by the casino, The meaning is that the victory obtained by the stremer is not real, as I said above that it is a show to lure or attract the sensation of people watching until in the end most of the people who follow what the stremer does end up with regret because it turns out that the results of the experiment do not match what they have seen before from the stremer's show.

But if you really already know about the facts behind the impressions made by the stremer then maybe yes it's okay if you really want to try betting the way they do by using a large budget, because as you said that there is still a possibility for luck to come at the same time when we do the experiment, but remember you must really agree with yourself that if you lose in the end you must be able to accept it and just think of this as an experiment only.

Yeah, but the influencer should have the interest of his followers at heart, unless the gambler isn't interested in responsible gambling, but promotes casinos for profits, he's meant to promote the need for his followers to stay careful. Because it can fire back, like what happened with the streamers and their viewers, although their complaints weren't loud enough to get the attention of the gambling community. But, if a person is in trouble and we don't try to help, they'll not like us either, when things get right with them. People tend to remember our help to them, when they're in need, especially. An influencer who doesn't care about his followers getting addicted, will someday get low impressions as the people following him will someday forget about using his page, and focus on gambling, as addicts. Remember the law of diminishing return applies to everything in life.

Casino streamers is a great advert avenue I think, not because its so complicated just its making something unknown more normal and familiar which is alot to introduce a new audience perhaps.   If you wanted to encourage new players then its an ideal in that respect, just showing the game being played its quite a big deal.    I'm not easily sold on anything but I will acknowledge that much without having to think alot about it, especially if I see a game I like and get into then its many multiples more likely the audience will play themselves imo.

That's true. I watch these streamers to have knowledge about the games especially when it comes to slots. How long do bonuses come out? How are multipliers working? The RTP? and so on. We don't have to mimic them, we just want the idea of how the game works. Because many slot games right now seem to be complicated, it's difficult to understand how the multipliers are being computed.
It's an advertisement that could help gamblers have an idea of what they will jump into and we should not expect something further than that. Some streamers' winning rate seems to be odd and it's like someone is controlling it behind the curtains to make the game more inviting. That's not what we need because it's pretty obvious that it's hard to win against the house and I think those who played slots will understand that easily.
I forgot the name of a certain slot back then but it's because of one streamer that I enjoyed watching (specially his reactions) that made encourage to play it too but again, I did not expect anything so I am not frustrated after playing it and losing some money.

yeah right and if by chance they manage to win some after following those streamers they will tend to think that the person is for real, they will blindly follow whatever the style and strategy that they will share, and afterwards they will find themselves regretting after losing a lot of money just because of such foolishness that they've done following the people who they thought that those streamers are helping them and they can get something out from them.

I like that sentiment on from your last statement, if you lose you should have that courage to accept and face that reality that you failed and you should be moving forward and forget about regretting or just pause yourself and try to cope back and re-try your chance if ever you decide to continue playing.

The main point is, it's your money and it's your luck, streamers are always show you the best side of their gambling to attract you signing to the site that they are promoting just keep yourself as it is, and be responsible with how you deal with your gambling and never to chase for someone's fate, do your own strategy and follow your own patterns and limitations.

Remember the law of diminishing return applies to everything in life.

In my opinion, the reality is that streamers and influencers won't care about what happens to gamblers, because their goal is to get lots of people interested in gambling and otherwise I don't think streamers and influencers care. gamblers who gamble by watching the streamers have been made sure by the streamers that they will be able to win, even though they don't believe what the streamer suggests, they will continue to gamble because people who gamble once, in my opinion, are likely to gamble continuously without thinking. Another thing, it is very rare for people to gamble only once and can stop. I think when they gamble they will be more interested in it, with the ending or winning being the same, it will both make them more interested in gambling. especially for beginners, there is a big possibility that when they gamble, and they see a streamer who is gambling and also suggests several steps to be able to win then I am sure they will be completely convinced by what the streamer suggests, indirectly they are interested, but their interest is This makes them trapped in a cycle of gambling addiction which could harm them in the future.

with those who are already gambling because of their interest because it is caused by streamers as time goes by they will become really stupid, it is possible that they will not care about streamers but they will still focus on gambling where winning is the main thing they want. All gamblers of course want to win but it is very difficult, even if the streamer gets a big win and suggests using tricks, patterns or strategies that are used in my opinion it won't work for sure, I first got to know gambling because I saw streamers who gambled and got big win, but as time goes by now I don't care about streamers, I only believe in luck which will give me victory.

Little influence. On YouTube I see some videos of poker players but I don't spend the day watching them. The one I usually see the most is Daniel Negreanu, who apart from the educational content seems like a nice guy. I learn things from him, but how can I learn things from other poker players, and precisely the streams I don't usually watch because I find them boring. I prefer to watch later videos on hand analysis or other topics.

[Fortify]

I came across on YouTube where a gambling casino social influencer was streaming about a casinos platform.
He literally brought out his phone and was illustrating to the audiences that it is just few steps to take the winning on your games which is making choice of your predictions, choose amount to bet and also indicate his hashtag referral code and click on confirm.
Immediately you get credited directly to your account that just you won.
I just smiled but I want to ask, how many of you guys develops interests on a particular casino platform due to the influence of the casinos streamers?

To me personally, no they have zero influence, but I can see that many people follow and watch these type of streamers. I could understand people watching fast paced shooters, football games , racing or any number of other genres, but watching someone play casino games for a long time and wasting their money seems rather dull. You are essentially seeing someone hand over all their money slowly and in real time, what is most shocking is when they have subscribers donating and seeing the money they waste disappear. If they are winning regularly I'd suggest they have some deceptive relationship with the casino too.

[South Park]

Not everyone is influenced by streamers and many are influenced, otherwise gamblers wouldn't find out about a game so quickly. How can streamers succeed so quickly if gamblers are not influenced by them. I saw a one of my close friend who was not into gambling but suddenly one day he was greatly inspired after watching a video review by a streamer. His gambling journey started from that time. Gamblers are often influenced by streamers on social media with new games and betting opportunities there. But a gambler must understand that not all streamers are acceptable. There are many streamers who only engage in campaigning for money and it is not possible to get real information from those streamers. Of course a gambler should exercise utmost caution in this regard.

Just like in any other job, the quality of the work of each influencer is different, with some influencers being genuinely excited about gambling and dishing out good content all the time, but we also know there are many influencers out there that only care about their own profits and they are not above promoting scam casinos in order to increase their gains, so before anyone makes a deposit into a casino they have never tried before, they need to do their due diligence and make sure they will not get scammed.

There is this really famous poker player/ sports better. He recently had a ton of critical acclaim for refusing to split the pot of a like 1 or 2 million dollar pot, which he would have made several hundered thousand dollars. I thought that was pretty G. He was the only one who refused it but he didn't have any regrets. He had since ramped up his betting group on telegram or discord I forget which one. I joined it, and honestly I can't even remember the guys name at the moment, but I will say that he is heavily enticing to get me to use some of his bets. He posts like 4 of 5 free ones a week and they usually hit! I will go find the name and update this post...

Negreanu's the GOAT, his clips of getting the right cards of the opponents are awesome, really gets in your head when they declare what you've got, you can't really react or do your usual poker face when your opponents like that, not to mention that he's my kind of guy in poker, I like loud and distracting, definitely will destroy the silence that's mostly present in the game. I have no interests in math of the games that I play, even if I do know that part, I believe that I won't be getting any kind of effect to my gambling habit or make me get more wins than usual.

We do really be able to see those people or groups which they are really that making such discussions about the bets that been shared up and with those influencers having those streams then
they are just that basically doing their job and of course they are paid on doing that. They would really be trying out to lure in as much as possible viewers since this is part of their job or deal.
As a viewer then of course you would really be that enticed to look up specially if we do able to see those huge bets and huge wins but of course cant be denied that even those amount isnt yours,
you could really be still able to feel up some those emotions on which this could really be leading whether you would really be making deposits but if you are someone who are get used to
these things then you would really be just that simply be ignoring and do just simply move on.

What are you saying is simply not true. In general it's not true, but if you have an evidence that in some particular case with some particular streamer it was true, please provide that evidence. It's interesting.

This kind of accusation does really need out that kind of proof because having these kind of assumptions without solid evidence doesnt really have no sense. Well, we do understand that there would really be those kind of assumptions basing up on those probabilities specially when they are on the losing condition or situation on which because of such manipulation they are really that losing big time.
It would really be that totally a pure deception if ever the casino would be tweaking out with those influencers account just to make it as a constant winner or something profitable
on which it would really be poking out someones interest to play and making registration right away on the time that they would be seeing it.

[Lucasgabd]

I didn’t even know they existed until this moment so I can say that they have no influence at all in my life
But for sure they influence the people that watch them because everything we see influence us somehow. Each person will have a different level of letting it influence their actions more or less but we aren’t completely isolated from what we see and read.

We cannot accuse anyone without having a proof and until no evidence shown those statement will remain assumptions. Although I heard some stories about it but we should not say thay this is true. What's important thing there and we should never believe on those streamers especially if we think they are engaging on suspicious activities like flexing their positive result. Although its fun to watch them but we should know how to do our own diligence to know what's better for us and we should gamble according to knowledge or skills that we acquired thru our experiences dealing on multiple casinos.

Logically right, even there are many influencers around, it's in your hands to make a decision though for some people they've been attracted with how influencers provides videos or information on how they are doing well with the service or product that they are promoting, it's on your own decision making whether to try following or just explore with your own strategy and process.

They being paid to make good reviews and to attract followers to use or buy services and products it's for the money and they will do everything to make it attractable and connects more people for the best outcome on their shares, either referrals or money making ads.

Casino streamers may influence gambling behaviour by showcasing wins or losses, but it's crucial to recognize that their experiences are not representative of typical outcomes. Responsible gambling decisions should be based on personal limits, and awareness of odds, and not solely on influencers' experiences.

Responsible gambling decisions should be based on personal limits, and awareness of odds, and not solely on influencers' experiences.

You are right, whether or not the casino helps the streamer win, because as a player one must see many things here, first of all that the game that the streamer has is to our liking, because a streamer can play a game very well but if I don't like it, I simply appeal not to see it, but if the game is to my liking I consider that, but if the casino helps the extremer, I want to see what his strategies are like, but if the casino doesn't help him, A streamer will always have money because he dedicates himself to that and his sponsors make it easier for him and he can do it however he wants to play, so when I see a streamer I basically look at how he plays, what strategies he applies and how he makes his bets.

So based on these premises, one realizes that things could be going in the right direction, but believing 100% in a streamer is not my style, so when one sees many streamers one can realize which streamer may be sponsored , which casino is making it win on purpose and how I was able to extract any type of strategy to innovate in our own game.

In this case, things with streamers must be treated very carefully, and always investigate very well because there are some who are very famous and they have no need to deceive people.
