Fake gambling streamers!! Beware!!!

[PokiesJunkie]

I think more people should know about this. It might seem obvious to experienced gamblers here, but newcomers might not realize it.

So, what's the deal? You've probably seen streams where someone plays slots. These streams are usually sponsored by the casino hosting the games. The casino pays the streamer and funds their account. They know exactly who the streamer is and when they'll be playing.

These streamers often hit big wins, which seems too good to be true. Casinos state in their terms that playing with "fun money" doesn't have the same randomness as playing with real money. In other words, fun money games are set up to show more flashy wins. Streamers, who don't use their own money, might be getting similar treatment. This makes viewers think they can win big, but that's rarely the case when playing with real money.

I've tried to warn my friends who want to start gambling, but not many people seem to be aware. What about you? Have you or your friends experienced this?

Man, I used to watch this one streamer every night. Dude always seemed to hit massive wins. Tried to copy his strategy and lost my rent money. Felt like a total chump when I found out it was all fake.

Damn, that's rough. Sorry to hear that, bro. How'd you find out it was fake?

Started digging around online, found some forums where people were exposing these frauds. Wish I'd known sooner.

Y'all are just salty 'cause you ain't winning. I've hit big playing the same games as streamers. It's all about luck and timing.

@pokertroll bruh, you're exactly the kind of person these scammers prey on. Wake up and smell the coffee, man.

Whatever, haters gonna hate. I'm still up overall.

Anyone who works in marketing can confirm this is a real thing. It's called "social proof" marketing. Casinos use streamers to make gambling look fun and profitable. It's all smoke and mirrors.

For real? That's wild. Any insider info you can share?

Let's just say the house always wins, especially when they control the narrative.

I dunno, guys. I've been to real casinos and seen people hit massive jackpots. Why couldn't streamers just be lucky?

 

[FredJefferson87]

@genEric sure, people win sometimes. But every night? For hours on end? Nah, that's statistically impossible.

 

[Alfred Dixon]

it's a regular occurrence for streamers to be approached by online casinos offering "partnerships." these casinos apparently ask streamers to play with house money while pretending it's their own. look this practice is more widespread in the streaming community than many people realize.

 

[PokiesJunkie]

Whoa, for real?!

This whole industry is corrupt AF. Not just streamers, but "affiliate" sites that review casinos too. They're all in bed together.

I mean, isn't this just like any other form of entertainment? We know movies aren't real, but we still enjoy them. What's the difference?

@mercer_91 The difference is movies don't trick people into losing their life savings, genius.

 

[Pokerface_Rex]

I actually won big once copying a streamer's bets. But looking back, I realize how stupid lucky I got. Could've easily gone the other way.

 

[Tiger_Yo!]

Y'all are missing the point. Even if some streamers are legit, the fact that we can't tell the real from the fake is the problem. It's predatory, period.

 

[PokiesJunkie]

Facts. That's why I'm tryin to spread the word. Knowledge is power, you feel me?
