Do gambling streamers earn more from referrals ?

[nara1892]

When I have free time, I often watch streamers who go live, especially streamers who gamble in their sessions. Many of these streamers advertise their links, or customized referral codes. Sometimes, I think they might be making more money from it than they are from streaming platforms. Do you think I am wrong about this ? or, is it the other way around ? Their bankroll is huge (the streamers), and I don't think they can get it only from pay per view, right ?

By the way, I have mostly seen gambling streamers on the Kick site. Yeah, I know there are other platforms that allow it, but I don't think they are as free as Kick. So, do you know of any other sites that offer the same freedom for gambling streamers ?

I still often see content like that, especially on Facebook, and there are so many people watching and commenting. Usually, these streamers hold giveaways for viewers who sign up on the promoted sites by drawing names from among the newly registered accounts, and I’m sure this is one of their strategies to keep people engaged.

On the other hand, you’re right those streamers do make more money from the referral links they include in their streams. I have a friend who works that way, and if I’m not mistaken, he gets 20% of every deposit made by users who sign up through his referral link, but they also receive a fairly high commission from the casinos they promote.

Referral link is an additional advantage for the streamer to make more money because he gets money from streaming and also other advertisement from the casino. However, these casino streamers are only deceiving people into gambling because they might not be gambling with their own money but an arrangement with the casino on what shows on the screen. Streaming is the big pay. What if no one uses your referral link or only few persons, it means that we wouldn't see streamers everywhere.

I don’t know the exact terms available to gamblers who stream, but I’m confident they’re quite decent even if, at first glance, it might seem like they should be earning less than a 20% share. Gambling platforms have a clear stake in this arrangement, as they recognize it’s purely profitable for them. The only person who ends up on the losing end is the player who, in all likelihood, will lose their money though they do get the emotional experience they were perhaps seeking. Naturally, earning a good income requires a large audience and a solid following, the challenge is that few people want to go through the initial, slow phase, which demands offering original content that stands out from other streamers.

Yes gambling streamers do earn more money from referrals than from other sources, streamers gets a percentage of the casino's revenue from each and every one of the people they refer, it's a lucrative way to make money as a streamer.

It doesn't even ends with gambling streamers only, in general every online video streamers makes money from each people they refer successfully to a casino, crypto exchanges, online businesses and projects.

If you can build loyalty and engage audience you are going to make alot of money, streamers can earn commission on players losses too, this is the most crazy part for me, how is this not a lucrative option?

[m0nica.just]

It probably depends on the streamer and how many people watch. I don't see this kind of content very often and I don't really look for it either. For me playing myself is more interesting than watching so maybe for some people watching is a kind of substitute for it.

Most streamers doesn't even win money from gambling. Two things you will see from a streamer, the first ones are the ones that get special accounts, everything programmed to make it looks like it's real and what they do is not having issues or see any losses get paid . The second streamers are the ones that get paid outside the gambling like paid gigs and use their money to play and also makes money from referrals, most casino gives back when your referral wager a certain amount of money.

My take on streamers, don't use a casino because a streamer is making it. You don't know what's in between the streamer and the company. You should do your research, if you must use their referal because of some special deposit that's fine but just know that there is no free money anywhere. If the streamer is making the win from you, the casino will take back the money from you, one way the other there is always the losers, don't be that guy.

I'm not sure but since they advertise, it must mean they earn something from it. However, not all streamers have the same source of income. In many cases, even if they don't earn money through views or advertising on the streaming platform, they can still earn good money from gambling platforms through affiliate partnerships with casinos and sponsorships. For example, when talking about some popular streamers, IShowSpeed ​​comes to mind, although he isn't a streamer on Kick, but his main live streaming platform is YouTube. However, now on YouTube videos we see some gambling platforms like 1xbet in various types of advertisements.

Streamers definitely get a big payout from referrals. Even popular streamers earn money from all the sections where they do marketing. Especially the new Casino site, which has no good reputation, offers more money to streamers if they can get users. If they can bring new users with good reviews. They get money from referrals and commission, and even get money for marketing in an extra way. I have seen people who have partnerships with that particular gambling site. Where they have the potential to make a big profit. I do not advise anyone to start gambling on that particular betting site after seeing any reviews of any streamer on social media. Because streamers will not suffer any loss if you lose. By making you deposit through streamers, you will end up incurring losses, ultimately scammers will benefit and streamers will also benefit. We should be responsible ourselves. We should select betting sites as consciously as possible.

Facebook is still the best platform in my country which this gambling streamer keeps using to stream their gambling session.

I find this surprising, I’ve heard that Facebook has draconian terms for advertising gambling - if I were a streamer, I wouldn’t even bother with that platform.

Even some artists and popular streamer do this before but our government already slightly tightened the casino promotion in facebook but they just limit the promotion to licensed casino only as allowed.

Most Filipino use facebook here to watch streams which is the reason why this streamer still using it instead of Kick. Surprisingly, they circumvent the facebook ban by having multiple facebook page account as backup. They can easily gain followers since user here mostly a blind follower.

You are not wrong, streamers earn from their referrals as well. They get money from direct brand sponsorships, from the platform where they stream, and probably other marketing stuff. They attract players with their cash drops, and to get that, you need to follow them, subscribe, and play under their affiliate link.
It's foolish to talk about any numbers, but I guess that many streamers are fighting for referrals and more views. Those at the top are a different story, with a lot of followers & active referrals (maybe even a few high rollers), they are probably making a lot of money.

By the way, I have mostly seen gambling streamers on the Kick site. Yeah, I know there are other platforms that allow it, but I don't think they are as free as Kick. So, do you know of any other sites that offer the same freedom for gambling streamers ?

I know only about Kick, and I follow just a few "unknown" streamers. I used to follow BTCGosu streams, but since then I haven't opened it. If any forum member likes to stream their play, I would follow and check it out. We had a few attempts, as I remember, but nothing recently...

Maybe it also depends on the kind of deal that they have with the gambling company that has recruited them for the role. Maybe the gambling company has a different kind of deal with them, a deal that does not involve them getting paid from the referrals that they make to the platform but rather maybe a fixed amount for everything inclusive that is both the people referred to the casino and also for the purpose of the advertisements that they are doing. Generally for this kind of deals, it will be good for you to have a lawyer as legal adviser to help you make the best decision and strike a best deal with the casino to avoid the casino having an upper hand and giving you a deal that benefits you less and benefits them more.

Most of them, the big gamblers, also get sponsorship deals from casinos, I think that is where they make the biggest amount in a short time, but referrals can actually accumulate more money for them in the long run. Every streamer on this platform mostly goes after ambassadorship deals, that's where I think the most money comes from. Pay-per-view also depends on the region, in Africa, I think it pays less for streamers.

Facebook is still the best platform in my country which this gambling streamer keeps using to stream their gambling session.

Based on some local streamers shared experiences. They have an upfront payment from the casino before they start promoting it on their streams. The referral commission is just a bonus on top of their contract fee.

Maybe this is not the case for every streamers but popular streamer on my country usually receive an offer payment before they start playing on that casino.

Until now, I'm wondering if they are really using real money during their streams. Others say it's just a demo account, so they just keep on rolling slots almost every day like money is nothing.

I've asked an agent before to give me a demo account, but she said there is none and I have to use real money. I don't know if it's the same with those streamers with millions of followers.

But yeah, those local streamers have earned more from advertising casinos and not just from referrals. There are even rumors that they are being used for money laundering, which makes their wealth skyrocket in a short period of time.

I think the earning differ from streamer to streamer, although every one of them probably has referral money coming in, they also might have private contracts that we know nothing about... So an individual earning, which is probably hard to guess accurately. But definitely not a small amount.

Some casinos have probably even put streamers on a pay roll as part of their marketing department, I would think. Streamers are a very lucrative advertising opportunity for a business which has massive laws and regulations around it, making it very difficult to advertise just anywhere...
