Your confusing “fake” with “paid affiliates”.
The most common deal is streamers are given bonuses each time they play. This is because…
1 – it restricts the streamers ability to cash out.
2 – the casino pays the slot company less on losses on bonus funds.
3 – you can impose a hidden max cash out on bonuses.
This is why famous streamers get a lot of bonuses. They can market the casinos with less risk for the casino and a fixed equity and site liability. I have 3 casinos we have built who do this.
2nd way – fake money. Some sites do this. Just look at how certain streamers have jumped from going MAD about a 300x win at 60p… to being a bit more nonchalant at a 1000x win a 5 quid. Looking at you fruitylslots!
3rd way – it’s real! Bandits real. Outside of that is trust maybe a certain few.
For the OP….
Letsgiveitaspin – he is paid by leovegas anyway. Half his staff worked for them.
Daddy – they have hidden max cash out limits.
Jarttu – im.convinced he is not 100% open with his funds. I mean… come on.
Rothstein- just a bellend. With a site that lets him do whatever.
Rocknrolla – gambling got the better of him. He needs to stop for his own sake.
The problem is they are showing entertainment. If it’s not real money it’s still not a fake gameplay. They don’t change the games… just whats at stake.
