    This ‘IT’S FREE SO WHY ARE PEOPLE MOANING’ is getting on my nipple ends.

    People are putting forward constructive points for and against. It may be ‘free’ but gains have been made from it ie subs and no doubt sign ups via affiliate links. This makes it click bait IMO.

    Again, like I said earlier, it’s great charities will gain from this but i can also understand frustrations. For me it’s not the draw but the guys on here and twitter that are so far up Bandits arse and the ‘but its free’ patter.

    Cant argue with that.

    It’s free, yes, but members here add value to the forum (yes, forums are commodities and with enough traffic they can be heavily monitised) plus – and I know this is an age old argument with no right or wrong solution – bandit doesn’t run the slot vids for nothing, or because hes feeling especially benevolent towards his followers… it’s a business at the end of the day. Early days (and yes, I’ve been a fan for a long-ass time!) it was constant grinding to gather followers, then once the 5 figures was hit and there were many hundreds of casino sign-ups via his links, content slowed down significantly to a video a week.

    Make of that what you will. I know that I would speculate that Bandit has hit a figure he’s comfortable with in terms of affiliation payments and stopped providing as much content… like a TV channel eager to sign you up with loads of new shows, but then only giving you a trickle of decent stuff once you’ve joined up.

    End of the day I’m not arsed where the money goes, but offering it as a viewer prize and then doing a last minute ‘180’ is a bit of a shitty move ain’t it? And that’s not a swipe, I like Steve a lot and I admire what he’s done, what he’s doing and what he stands for.  I’d say the same to anyone.  There was a monster profit on the lil devil vid with a great prize offered to BiaM members and it went elsewhere. Bad move, if a prize is offered it should be drawn, there were loads of options other than “fuck it, cancelled”. Like binning the whole 13000 registrations and starting again with criteria added (something like a minimum 4 weeks membership, or at least one active post/comment in the last 3 months).

    It’s the last I’ll say on this because I’m bored of the moaning from both sides.  I just read the Twitter feed too and I’ll say there’s a special level of hell for pricks who threaten a man’s family,  scummy little cowards!

    I’ve had a laugh on the threads with folk today but to nail my colours to a mast I think the charities will all be exceptionally grateful for the boost, but cancelling the draw was a poor move, and it’ll be a while before I can feel good about watching the bandit smash profits on the videos after this one.

    To recap, you think I’m The Bandit himself in disguise on his own forum and that he/I have had a fake copy of random.org built to forge the outcome of dozens of prize draws to select pre-determined fake winners and I’m the one in cloud cuckoo land?

    Listen, you’re new on here but if you get on the main forum menu, scroll down to “competitions” and there’s a sub-forum for “winners”. There are 4 whole pages of genuine winners of Steve’s competitions and giveaways going back over a year so please don’t start insulting folk and spouting that rubbish.   TheBandit is as honest as they come, totally transparent in all aspects of his gambling and affiliation.    Maybe this was a bad move, maybe it was a genius move, maybe (I’m leaning this way) it was the only move – whatever this mess was, the previous giveaways have been totally on the level, go and look then you can come  back and apologise, you’re being out of line though bud. Respectfully.

    Hi stevie lad,
    I agree with you 100%, a few greedy individuals decided to ruin it for everyone. don’t they realise that when entering IP addresses are logged along with entry details.
    I look forward to sunday mornings, suffering from a buckfast & stella induced hangover, watching your vids and listening to the banter,
    keep up the mental vids.

    Really simple solution for you, and all the bottom feeders so desperate for a few quid that they’ll come here, to the place which the same guy you are slating pays to maintain, and give him this kind of bollocks.

    “It’ll be a while before you can enjoy another video”…. Who do you believe you are in your tiny little world? Just don’t watch then!!!!

    The arguments you put forward are crazy, do you really believe the rubbish you are posting? Comparing it to a TV channel having you sign up and then stripping the content, WTF, show me where you signed up and paid for anything…?

    if you signed up to a casino via a link which bandit gets a few quid for then that’s your own choice. You are not required, nor expected to do so in order to have access to the content.

    What difference does it make that the Lil Devil video was a monster profit? How do you create your messed up view of being entitled to something because of that? If he had lost would you take some of the responsibility? Completely bonkers!!!!

    The one sensible thing you touch on is that there is no place for people’s idiotic threats, but equally there is no place for your childish bullshit either.

    To return to my original point, if you don’t like it the solution is really simple…

    Wow, I’ve read that a good 15 times and I’ve still got no idea what it says!!!
    The only people who have let anyone down are the scum bags who cheated.

    Steve sort his head out? Come on…. that’s moronic.

    Ive read some of the replies on this thread, and to say I am incredulous that people are crying over missing out of FREE money is an understatement. Some peoples comments are right off the scale of basic human decency.

    So you didn’t set up more than one account big fucking deal, what Bandit did was spot on giving the money to charity especially at this time of year. Anyone who moans about it is just a fucking twat. Anyone who set up multiple accounts is an even bigger twat.

    You’d all be screaming just as much if there was no giveaway! Complaining it’s Christmas and that Steve shouldn’t be such a Scrooge.

    It just so happened there was a giveaway which required no financial commitment to enter and it was completely Steve perogative to run it how he saw fit.. including cancelling it due to cheaters.

    As for the people saying he only did it to amass more followers.. do you honestly think he cares about his social stats? Any genuine follower will know he doesn’t give two shits about the numbers. He does it for fun.. the numbers are a by product.

    Jesus Christ, cannot belive what I’ve just read. People crying over losing their (very slim) chance to win free money, and worse accusations over foul play, I’m SO glad the money is going to charity.

    People questioning the legitimacy of the whole thing is insane, is everyone forgetting (or didn’t bother watching) the original video. Steve risked shit loads of his own money to do the draw, and without that massive hit would’ve been down. He also spent 23 hours collecting bonuses. How the hell can several morons say he never intended to pay out the winnings after that? And it would be the least efficient way to get singups if that was all it was about.

    Ooh and I’ve won two of his others draws in the past (Redbet & Videoslots) so kmow for a FACT its all above board. But guess the doubters will think I’m Steve himself!

    @bjm86 (blowjob man?) That cheered my morning up no end. Would you call me a “bottom feeder” in real life? I suspect not, you jumped up little keyboard warrior. I think you need to read everything I’ve written you little prick, I’m no parasite and certainly not holding my cap out for a handout, I’m simply representing the “other” side as most of the fan-boys here are championing the decision to cancel a prize draw after it’s supposed to have happened.  I’m glad that the charities are getting the money, but this draw wasn’t for charity was it, the video was recorded as a Christmas giveaway for the forum. I’m not in need of money and I never for a moment expected to win anything, neither do I feel entitled, I just said it leaves a very nasty taste when something is put in place to get the forum members buzzing then it’s taken away.
