Hi Bandit,
Sorry to hear about the misfortunes of life going on at the moment. It’s pretty shitty when it hits hard, and whilst I can’t relate directly what you’re going through, I totally understand that you need your own time & space to deal with it in your own way and not have to explain to a bunch of video-hungry slot whores on the internet
Theres a class film called Kings Never Die. You love your sports so I’m sure you’ve seen it, it’s a boxing film. Give it a go if you haven’t. Always gives me the motivation to get up & dust myself off whenever I need it.
In regards to these ‘slot players’ doing £1000-2000 a spin, they’re all sponsored by the casino. They’re not playing with ‘real money’ so to speak. The casino will deposit £100,000 or whatever into their balance with the goal to attract as many people to sign up to that casino as possible. A bit like the old affiliate schemes, the player gets a slight % of a new sign ups’ losses. There was a really good series by a massive YouTuber that exposed one of the biggest ‘fakers’ out there. The likes of Foss, Ayezee, Roshstein and Chipmonk Slots are still the biggest fakers now. The few real ones still being Hypalinx, Rock n Rolla, Nick Slots (when he plays) etc etc.
I think what you say is true about the games being setup for bonus buys away from the UK, and it won’t come as a surprise that the UKGC are still planning to implement £2 max stakes, but they’ve been trying to do that for years. I think what you have to understand here though is that people don’t watch your videos to see you play £40 stake danger high voltage, we watch it for you, you take us along on the ride and you’d be the best YouTuber to watch by a country fucking mile, if you just did 20p, 40p, £1, £2.
An example of this is literally Hypalinx. He often starts a stream with a £100 deposit playing 60p a spin. People love it. I’ve seen 7neighbours hit thousands playing 60-80p (Ra Megaways I think it was).
The point being that you’re sat on a literal goldmine that you’ve built from the ground up, the ad revenue from your channel alone would generate you thousands, you surely had a taste of that when you ran Power Up a couple of years ago. The revenue must’ve been good, and with you having even more subs on your main channel, you can easily double that. I often go over and watch your old videos, I’m watching them all at the moment from the ground up, I know hundreds of people do that same, monetise them, you’ll see that rack up man! Whatever the stake, your commentary and play style is unique, legitimate and entertaining as FUCK
Ive sent you emails a few times back in the day offering my support with graphics design and video editing, my offer is still there. I graduated university with that very thing, and whilst I’m a bit rusty, I’d be glad to help out. Im only in Runcorn!
I do remember you even toying with the idea of making casino videos or fruit machine videos, I’d love to see it. Your first video back will generate hundreds of thousands of views.
Hope you’re feeling back to the old Bandit again soon, take your time. But don’t quit mate. What you’ve got here is special and you’re fucking good at it.
Cheers mate,
Jordan.
Brilliant post and I 100% agree that you should look into doing something with the support you have
Start small again, even a video of you talking over a pub slot with a 100£ jackpot would attract 50,000 views
Always wondered how much you have to spend these days to force a jackpot.
used to be easy on the old style bandits but these blueprint machines im not sure I’ve ever seen a jackpot tbh
I mean, is that even a real rumour
made me chuckle tbh.It’s pretty common knowledge that i’ve separated from the wife – who would want to shout about that sort of thing though? We just ran our course and mutually went our own way. The old format of videos have simply become too expensive and time consuming to make now in the UK – all the high volatile games are totally set up for a bonus buy which i can’t do so it just seems they take the piss to land. I’m not moving to Ireland, i’m a gambler not a businessman.
The scene outside the UK has become a little bit of a joke to me, i’m seeing people supposedly spinning $1500, $2000, $2500 spins and winning millions when a bonus hits, i don’t watch any of these people enough to know whether they’ve explained how that works but remember all the utter shit i used to get for having the audacity to spin at £40?!
I spend a lot of time at the bar these days, suppose i’ve fallen in to a bit of a run where it’s pretty much the norm to go there for 5/6 hours, I haven’t been on social media much because when i’m not making videos and getting bonuses and wins, what exactly do i talk about haha I am still gambling, the odd Reel King session, long sessions on Dead or a Wild trying for the 5 symbols but tbh that is about it.
I’m alive, not in Jail, don’t spit in Police Officers faces during Covid or any of the other silly stuff that may be being said, I can easily be found around Wrexham most days.
Thanks for the update Bandit. Totally understand where you’re coming from I’m grateful for all the years of content you gave us, many of hours laughing to your ups and downs.
It feels a bit like falling out with a good mate now knowing I’ll probably never hear from you again, silly I know
but over the years it did feel like we all knew you a bit and now we know it’s officially over we will probably never cross paths again
I wish you all the best with the Future
I’m keeping subscribed just incase you ever decide to throw out any content (even on the power up channel)
Thanks again.
