Slot videos and slot streaming is out of fucking control. It is not relatable in any way to normal punters. As much as I love the bandit it makes me sick to my stomach the thought of someone losing over 70 grand. You could buy a house or flat with that money. Losing 70 grand is not the same as someone losing 70 quid or 700 quid and it never will be. It will be interesting to see the last man standing when this cancerous gambling affiliate shite is finished off once and for all.
I don’t know the full logistics of affiliation but my basic understanding is that streamers/affiliates offer people financial incentives to sign up to casino sites through a link. If this is the case then I think it’s disgusting as they are encouraging people to gamble and lose money with all the drastic consequences that carries.
You are playing with fire, playing on these slots. Yes we have seen they can pay but not in the long run.
People who gamble don’t need encouragements to gamble, they gamble. I have never signed up to an affiliate link but it didn’t stop me gambling, and if they are dumb enough to sign up to an affiliate link on the off chance that they will win a 500-1 chance of winning a raffle, they you could say they deserve to lose.
Affiliation is everywhere, it’s a part of life. If I look online at reviews for stuff I want to buy I will see endless bullshit about how great stuff is on every fitness site, and there will be affiliate links on the page. That is far worse than gambling affiliate links, their affiliate links to dodgy equipment and unsafe drugs are actually dangerous. A streamer having a raffle prize is a marketing strategy, like the 80% money off signs you see in Sports Direct.
Finally the Bandit is a pretty shit marketing agent if he is using losses of £74k to advertise the benefits of gambling!
If you don’t like it don’t sign up to it, but don’t deprive those who do support it. I don’t like Soap Opera’s as I think they rot the brain, but I don’t start up petitions to stop them
