100% damaging to players. I got into "gambling" by watching these gamer streamers turn into Gamdom affiliates and ultimately after never even buying a scratch card spent 2 years with my neck down facing a screen spinning away my life on slots.
these false streamers that accept either a pay out to advertise, fake money to stream and/ or take affiliate deals from the lose of others whilst showing a false reality of gambling is absolutely shameless.
I believe Twitch needs to do more to enforce that what we are watching isn’t gambling, it’s straight advertisement for casinos. Gamdom VIP openly told me their biggest streamers Von Dice and WatchGamesTV both take 300% deposit deals, (proof on Imgur)
The casinos all have unethical practice, popular streamer TrainwreckTV sums it up perfectly as to "why he’s paid to play at Stake", if he plays anywhere else it’s damaging for them and they "loose" money? Yet they pay him to sit and state "do not gamble, you will not break even you will not win" … and they still pay him multi millions dollars per month.. it’s absolutely disgusting and unethical. I lost over $300,000 in less than 3 months. No I’m not rich, no I couldn’t afford to loose it. I am an addict, to the worse addiction possible. I almost wish I was a cr-ck addict since I’d have ultimately OD’d and have something to leave my family. Now I’m fighting day by day to afford to charge my phone. These casinos with no AML preventatives really are thieves.
to those that can afford to spend over $10,000 really shouldn’t be bothered if they’re KYCd. Other players look for these since either they’ve self excluded or their own countries don’t allow online gambling. (in my case over $150,000 on 2 separate occasions) 10000% only due to what I seen on screen. Still to this day never bought a scratch card cause I know you can’t win. But every single streamer affiliated to a casino makes it look like the most profitable thing in the world. All Scams.
