I really hope OP wasn’t lying to try for free money off someone else’s sympathy and generosity. I really, really hope that isn’t what’s happened here. I would always give someone writing on here the benefit of the doubt, because I know how often these horror stories of misery and ruin are actually true, so I’d never jump on anyone with cynicism by default in that respect. But while chancers in the sense of new sign ups going “oh yeah anyone else done 20,000 spins on whatever megaways and not got a bonus? I just done 5 grand through it and it never paid me more than 20p” are easy to spot, the very thought of anyone concocting a story like the one in this thread makes me both angry and sad. As I say, I just sincerely hope it isn’t what happened, that the guy’s story was genuine and that he’s doing okay and making progress getting his life back together.
I’ve never seen any other streamer or video producer care about their community and supporters in the way The Bandit does. The sheer empathetic gravitas of a stranger you’ve never met, particularly one which only knows you as a voice on the internet, offering to buy you a place in a hotel room is rarer than a four leaf clover, it takes a very genuinely good soul to offer that. As does the other offers of help which came from other forum members. It’s a truly top crowd here.
Anyway, I am off to start on today’s video, should give me a good bit of entertainment after the first day back at work!
