@@lasskinn474 yes if the cigarrette company pay mc donalds billions. You dont understand what is going on and your anology is wrong. And no its nothing like you described
For anyone wondering how do this websites have millions to pay influencers is because thay pay little to no tax and have a fraction of the expenses of a regular casino. And if I were a very skeptical guy, I would say that this type of online casino that has proven to be able to modify your balance at a whim might be a cool way to launder and transfer drug/crime money overseas. Because you can track crypto transactions on the blockchain, the online crypto casinos can be used to launder and transfer that money to anoter wallet w/o a direct transaction!
Thats the first thing I thought of when he described the way it works. I bet there's dirty tracks that need to be investigated here. I guarantee there has to be SOME use of the system to launder money.

I remember back when the whole hype around CS:GO gambling was around. Back then I was only around 12-13, and I sadly got caught up in the mindset that since the RUclipsrs I watched earned big money (I was easily influenced), it would be possible for me too. So, I began gambling. And guess what? The majority of times I gambled, I lost. By the end of around 2016-17, I had lost over 2000$ in total (which is an insane amount of money for me, especially since I was so young) and was treading on the line of becoming a gambling addict. Luckily with some of my last rational thoughts and with some help from my parents, I managed to stop having the urge to gamble, after all the access to the sites I knew were blocked by my father. Although it took about a whole year to stop having urges, I overcame them. My hatred for sites like these are immeasurable. My heart goes out to those not fortunate enough to have overcome the urges or have had their lives ruined by casinos, whether they be online or not.
im convinced Twitch is here to ruin our younger generation, Girls in bikini pools in their room, girls doing ASMR and wearing almost nothing doing it, Gaming FPS games and being toxic to one another, and now the Gambling promotion to the youth. Dont get me wrong there must be a good side to twitch and many enjoy it, but there is also way more stuff that can ruin a kids mind!
yeah when I was young we just used generated cc numbers to pass age checks on porn sites! and instead of rickroll we had goatse. but seriously, watching porn and strippers without recognizing it as porn because they got strings on and ask money is kinda worrying - as is watching gambling advertisements as content without recognizing them as advertisements. like.. even by just reading Sinuhe the Egyptian you should learn that simping your familys money out to some pretty lady who just wants your money is not a good way to go and it's predatory to be doing that to young males - and math lessons should teach why the universe doesn't care that you 'feel lucky' and biology and psych lessons should cover the addiction loop of gambling(and how expensive way it is to get a shot of high).
or just anything that isnt gaming related considering thats what the platform was made for. when they sold twitch, amazon thought it would be a good idea to turn it into a wish version of youtube. the platforms gone down hill as far as content quality goes. the new meta on twitch, is spending 8-10 hours commentating on the johnny depp amber heard case which is just purely disgusting. i wonder how much money these twitch streamers are making off of someones domestic abuse and violence case. i get the trial is public, but to sit there and make jokes and laugh about the events is just disgusting. barely even see any gaming on twitch, most of the gamers i watched on there, moved to youtube anyway so.
my surprise is that 20-50k people watch Trainwreck just scroll through bunch of pictures and collect or lose numbers at the bottom of the screen. I mean how sad does your life need to be to watch that kind of unfulfilling content, when not only is it all rigged, its not real money but it also wont get the viewers anything out of it. its just sad
im gonna start off this by saying i dont defend unlawful acts by either the companies or the influencers and i dont gamble myself, but i do think people should be responsible for their own actions and/or have some form of control over their childrens activity online. The content creator should be transparent, twitch definitely should have a age verification for the gambling section. Even more importantly is that the gambling sites should make statistics public and it much harder for kids to be able to gamble on those sites (keep in mind this is my opinions)
@@taylorcliff6609 Youre right bro. Also i think Twitch is really bad for the younger generation, ASMR soft p0rn basically, pool streams, watch me sleep, gambling...all poison to a lttle kids mind.
@@BazFitt as someone who was born right on the inception of gaming in the average household, i fought to make gaming a profitable venture whether that was through gaming blogs/mags or regional tournaments. you can imagine my excitement and disappointment with twitch. the communities are vial, the streamers are not entertaining nor are they original. the gaming content is stale as shit and its extremely hard to digest any of it. the jokes are border line racist and sexist and are generally just recycled from other streamers. i had high hopes for mixer, not as a platform but i did hope it would separate the two communities, as im tired of the army of 12 yr old sheep that makes up twitch these days.
Im really having a hard time being a fan of the UFC anymore. I always knew they were shady but since they were sold they are just blatantly over the top greedy. I dont think i will be buying any PPV UFC events anytime soon....
I think the UFC has done a great job in promotion. Fighters from the UFC are given more of a spotlight than any other sportsman and can leverage that into whatever they want, (they can go into twitch streaming; start up a RUclips channel).
I know a programmer who works for an online casino and he told me he was surprised that, while during a meeting, it was mentioned that the code was rigged so the site could make money. I was surprised that he was surprised.
what the f*** :D:D did the site lie about the odds though? that would be a little bit to be surprised about but the odds are _supposed_ to be against the player in the first place it's not like they work as a charity.

Thank you for creating and sharing this! Tons of young adults in my age bracket are getting sucked into gambling addictions. These online casinos aren’t doing anything for the problems they’re creating. The streamers are also culpable. They will have to live with this on their conscious and we are seeing how many of these streamers have no integrity. It’s amazing how Stevewilldoit, Aden, and other streamers didn’t have people in their inner circle that might suggest that their actions could have severe consequences for their own ‘fans’.
Dude, if your friends are dumb and gonna gamble away all their money, that's their fault. I was addicted to weed, realized I can't buy it because it's too expensive, and stopped (i should have also blamed the weed dealers for selling it) . Do you realize that blaming someone else for their problems is a way bigger problem. Just don't gamble if you can't afford it, it's that simple man.
@@aradia9726 Oh yeah? It's not like I smoked for 8 years straight (like 3-4 joints per day) and whenever i said i wanted to stop i stopped. Get the hell out. All you need is a bit of willpower, but people nowadays don't even have that. They'd rather feel sorry for themselves and ruin their lives.
Spencer, I have a ton of respect for you for not gambling. That is truly awesome. Last time I gambled on a $1 credit, 3 credit bet slot machine Wheel Of Fortune, I blew $300 and I asked myself why I just did that. I walked away and have not gambled since. It will be 4 years the end of this July. I am so proud of myself for that. Gambling is a poor mans tax.
we have to give credit and support to the creators that chose not to exploit their fanbase. I can only imagine how difficult it must be to turn down so much easy money
If you have a conscience it's pretty easy. Cause you would never sleep well at night if you destroy your loyal follows that were there for you before the offer. And money doesn't buy peace, just material things
@@intergalactic5639 If they are as poor as they are. These streamers would never even remotely need this money. Even begging for money would be more respectful to their fans. To get a million payed *your fans* need to lose at least a million, definitly even way more.
I mentioned this in a way a while back on a different video and glad to see you putting a spotlight on this issue. I specifically mentioned much smaller channels that promote slots with in person videos of them at slots. They have an entire community on RUclips and many actually give “advice” on how to win more in slot games. Still pretty nefarious and awful but these streamers have way more influence. It hits home for me because my parents squandered their life savings in retirement and now I am burdened with taking care for them. It’s a horrible addiction that ruins lives.
How can you give advice on winning slots? It's literally you clicking a button and the computer generated the outcome. You can have strategies and tips in poker or blackjack, not slots. And if somebody still claims they know the pattern they're delusional, people tend to notice trends and connections in randomness.
@@januszkurahenowski2860 the advice they’re giving is all total bs. The advice givers either know that and they’re cynically scamming their audience or they’re as idiotic as their fans and actually believe you can develop a slots strategy. There’s obviously no way to beat a slot machine or use strategy to win more money, but that hasn’t stopped people from offering slot machine “advice” for ages. You can find books and mail order vhs tapes peddling that crap from 40 years ago.
Slots are programmed to turn your money into 75% of your money. It pays out a bit less than gets put in. The longer you play the slot the more you cement in your loss
@@januszkurahenowski2860 that’s exactly my point. Obviously slots is purely a game of chance that is specifically rigged in favor of the house, there is no strategy to it at all. These people are totally full of it. Gamblers are especially vulnerable to believe the bullshit because they need to in order to justify their habit.
my x is a gambling addict and was constantly glued to those slot channels, this was one of the reasons we broke up because it got to the point where the channels were brainwashing her into thinking that if she just kept playing eventually she will break even. the last i knew, she was homeless but still puts her last coin into the machine over buying food.
Maybe its the poor/cheap person in me but if I had 1.8 million in the bank i wouldnt gamble it, i would retire and live modestly. Everyone is so greedy
Great video! I will say that I don’t think these influencers are saying “don’t gamble like me” due to the gambling having a negative impact on their life. I’m almost certain that it is the gambling version of “this is not Financial advice”. They just want to cover their asses for when they get called out, so they can point to that and say “look i told them not to!”. Either way these people are scum, sad to see so many negatively affected by this
Exactly! The hippocricy is also so crystal clear as well. I'm finding it absolutely disgusting that these people are promoting this stuff to an impressionable audience while also saying "don't do what I'm doing, bruh".
100% Anything that an entertainer includes in their show is adding a value judgement to it. Adding gambling to entertainment is one thing, but these guys all make the gambling the hero of their show. It's totally unethical, not even considering the audience, and the lacking disclaimers.

Spencer congrats on your last vid. I bet it was hard for you to accept sponsor since you have avoided it so long. Probably cuz of all the lawsuits and shit, but I hope the pressure never changes your morale
I'm sick of streamers in general and how much hype they get. I have no issues with people supporting artists but people give them huge sums of money even just for superchats, which hurts my soul. Like, 1k+ and the streamer gives them an extra special thank you after they read their message and that's it. And I'm sure streaming can get tough at times but at the end of the day they're just streaming themselves, and people just watch and wait for funny moments vs having scripted or more focused videos.
I predict this will be the next big push from creators like Fresh&Fit, Rollo, Donovan, etc. It is just a half-step away from the other crypto scams they already push!
I gambled in GTA online and got fucked at the high stakes table and lost 500K. I immediately turned the game off and was depressed. I can’t imagine losing that money in real life.
Here in Vegas the working reference term is the 'hold'. In gaming one of these guys stated he put in 1.2 million, and won back 1.1million. He won only 91.6%, and the gaming site 'hold' or win was 8.4%. The site nets $100k.
Love the channel even though borderline reflective for me but poker much different than this where there is zero strategy and no genuine love for the game
@@usernotfound904 Oh I beg to differ. I went to a real casino and was totally screwed by the dealer. It was me vs a regular that the dealer was on first name basis with and after the river the reg checks and then I checked. However the reg then says he wants to make a bet and this shady ass dealer let him. In retrospect I should have called the floor manager immediately but it was my first time in a casino....
@Mark Vogel When this happens, You can always tell the DEALER to call the floor and the floor will review the camera footage within minutes and make a ruling. I've played live poker in Vegas for almost 10 years, I see these mistakes a lot, players will tap their chips or cards and it looks like a check back. Reality is, in your situation ,you wanted the player to check back. Being out of position and not knowing where you're at, then having to face a big bet can be frustrating. It's either fold or a hero call. I have many relationships with dealers, and trust me, they are not going break the rules because we're chums.
this might be your best video, i realised a lot of chess twitch streamers i follow have jumped in on poker and shit and didn't realise why this shit is a disease, thank you for making this video
You actually missed a major point in this video. Unlike real world regulated casinos, everything on the digital casinos are generated by computers and not bounded by physical limitations. This means all the numbers you see can be literally precisely set up and faked, including prizes, wins, losses, account balances, etc. Those streams are sponsored by those shady unregulated websites and the operators have full control of the systems. It's not unlikely that those accounts are specifically set up with balances, private games, probabilities or even win/loss sequences pre-arranged for the streams. This is one of the major factors people fall for this -- they don't know those websites are absolutely not analogs of real world casinos. Not even close.
One thing to remember, electronic gambling games are all fixed. The owner of the system has full control over every win. It is not random and they cannot lose, you CAN NOT WIN.
When online casino get noticed by feds, the influencers will get the screwed really hard, while the casino's operators will be little harder to capture since all of them are in overseas islands
Why do you hate Gambling so much ? If it is because it is addictive Ok this is something I want to ask everyone. Do you think the same thing about influences starting an only fans or promoting other people's only fans ? I know this seems apples to oranges but porn has been proven to be addictive and to have negative health effects. So my question is how comes no one seems to take issue with influences promoting porn to a young audience ? Gambling is also addictive yes but how comes it is being singled out so much
Can you imagine how great of an advertising return these companies are getting? You potentially tap millions of young, easily manipulated eyeballs while also requiring a known whale to play for a set amount of hours in hopes that they themselves get addicted. Once the streamers start playing freely with their own money after being used to doing huge numbers with free casino credits, it’s guaranteed giant returns for the casino. It’s scummy, but it’s pretty brilliant.
I’d be worried the games are fixed even worse than vegas. I mean vegas is regulated at least, but these games can be messed with and fixed in crazy ways. They can make anyone they want to be a winner or loser at anytime. So for promotion they can make it look like great odds but in actuality it’s terrible.
one of the biggest german streamers was apparently offered five million to promote casinos on the regular, he did decline however. Obviously it deserves plenty of praise but I would also rather take the clean fame and goodwill of the community when I'm already a multi-millionaire and not really in the dire need of five million bucks
@@snapchatsnacks3154 casinos don't target small streamers, dumbo. They only target the biggest, most viewed people on the platform to maximize revenue, that's the whole point and big streamers ARE millionaries.
I don't know how or why anyone can watch a stream of someone else gambling ridiculous amounts of money & shouting & screaming constantly. How its considered entertaining il never understand.
Train is one of the few who I is doing real high risk bets with his money and isn't on a fill deal. 1) He shows his deposit address every time he depos. 2) I have seen him give away close to 10 MILLION to personal wallets during giveaways. 3) He is losing 99% of the sessions he gambles. Now you can argue that what he is doing is unethical, and I won't argue with that. But there is still a large difference between someone getting paid 5-10M a month and gambling all of it, and someone getting 10-50k fills every week and isn't really risking their own "money".
Prolly cause there's no taxes and the site just sends back the money he spends. Endless loop. Yes losing millions a day and giving out millions hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
@@AssistanceCS oh it's for sure bankrolled, no doubt about it. If I had to guess, I'd imagine his deal is something along the lines of "10M+ a month and have to wager x amount, or stream for x hrs" or something. Same as Drake dropping 10M, getting it up to 30, then down to nothing in an hr. His accountant would have a heart attack if he was really gambling 5% of his net worth in an hr.
Always good information from you. Definitely keep pushing out videos on exactly this sort of thing, as it is everywhere. I don't even gamble in the least bit, and focus most of my attention on golf stuff, but am still inundated with this kind of content. That tells me it isn't even targeted, just straight up volume to anyone willing to see it.
Funny because these influencers loose 95% of the time they gamble on stream.. like do you even watch their streams? Trainwrecks literally has been doing nothing but loose money everytime he streams and hit one max win after months and months of gambling lol. It's horrible that these streamers are advertising gambling so that people get addicted but let's not act like they aren't loosing most of the time they are advertising their gambling. Just because they win 100 grand on a thousand dollar bet doesn't mean sht when you consider that's only 100x on slots that can hit 5000-10,000x.
Ok this is something I want to ask everyone. Do you think the same thing about influences starting an only fans or promoting other people's only fans ?

You are using what's called "Whataboutlism", both is bad in one way or another but the main focus now is "(online) gambling" which has a shady way of doing business like high chance of house winning (some with controlled odds) and so forth also lots of streamer are getting sponsored by the casino and (sometime) not disclosing it. In the end if you have your mind set that the streamers won't influence your life choices then good for you but by how much the streamers are getting paid, the casino knows that it will influence lots of other viewers.
Because porn is over in a couple minutes. Gambling addiction can last forever and can cause serious financial hardship. Trying to chase losses can result in lost family, jobs and home. Seeing a girls booty for 10 mins is just a dopamine hit and ya move on
I respect the work you put into your videos. I find it truly baffling that all major crypto RUclipsrs just look at pure wave and completely ignore the bigger narrative of why BTC is pumping and why the future outlook might not be as bullish as it seems. It's kind of irresponsible to ignore the fact that each ETF launch so far has caused a big swing in BTC spike. We were already on shaky footing with historically low volume and almost pure whale pumps, narrowly avoiding a long-term bear market. This is the worst possible time in history to invest as so many don't back up their crypto assets.More emphasis should be put into day trading as it is less affected by the unpredictable nature of the market,……..I have made over 11 btc frm day trading Eliana Brooklyn insights and signals in less than 2 weeks this is one of the best medium to backup vour assets Incase it goes bearish
Most failures and loss on investment usually happens when you invest without proper knowledge of the market..I was able to recover my losses with Eliana Brooklyn,
My growing love for crypto caused me to explore until I came across Eliana(although I'm trying to avoid sensationalism) they are by far the best. No hype for hype's sake, but great inspiration to trade crypto
At least with physical games there is probably less of a chance of manipulation but software based gambling is just nuts. How can you trust software to not allow manipulation? They are literally built by people who can make it do whatever they want.
Even if you use a VPN to play on these sites and somehow win you'll never see the money because when you try to they ask for KYC verification then refuse on the basis that you can't gamble where you live
I know one person personally that actually makes money gambling. I do not gamble myself but I do understand their strategy. They have been doing it for 10 years now.
These people will be the same one to say that they don't need to learn math. If they paid attention in their math class, they would know about distribution and how small their chances are to winning big on a consistence basis.
Well, at least we understand why people call them DEGENERATE GAMBLERS. I'm 55 yo and have seen people blow the house payment in a poker machine. It's tragic. And it hurts. Because you know it's not the asshat who pays, it's the spouse and kids who ultimately are hurt the most. There is nothing wrong with having a flutter as it were. The annual trip to Preakness. The annual vacation to Vegas or AC. Things like that are fine. Just so it's not a daily weekly or monthly thing. And truth is, I'd rather be sailing, having a dinner out or traveling.
Just imagine the utter devastation this sort of degenerate gambling will sow! It’s one thing to have to get in a plane and fly the Vegas to lose the kid’s college fund but totally something else to sit in a basement for hours upon hours feeding the beast with every last dollar you can get your hands on! This is the definition of a really bad idea… Great video Spencer!
I’m not a gambler but I’ve been working in the industry for 12 or so years now and a lot of my job has to do with compliance. I can tell you, an online gambling company with a decent license would never even think about onboarding players from forbidden countries, especially the US, because that’s a sure way to get a massive fine, get in legal trouble, or right out lose your license to operate. Curaçao is far from a reputable license, though, and if you’re smart you’ll never deposit money to a Curaçao-licensed operator. Reputable regulators aim to protect players by, for example, ensuring that games of chance are fair (they verify that the RNG really is random and not rigged to benefit the house, for example), winnings are paid out, the operator complies with AML standards and so on. Curaçao does none of that, but is considerably cheaper and easier to obtain than a proper license.
as someone who is from california and now has lived in vegas for off and on since 2010.......i rarely gamble, back in cali i would go to jackson and play blackjack and i decided to learn to count cards so i spent a bunch of time to learn to count. just about every time i went to jackson i made money and lost like once. im pretty sure the dealers knew what i was doing and none of them cared as long ass i wasnt on the big tables. i mostly went because my friends were addicted to poker but i never found that kind of thing towards gambling. living in vegas i really learned how gambling can take your life away
They can preach all they want to their audiences to not gamble because you will lose, but kids listen to no one when they hear negatives. The streamers saying don't gamble are fooling themselves if they think their message will sink in.
before the internet people maybe knew celebrities and athletes those type of rich people. Now it's like social media exists to make sure you feel bad about the life you live and MAKE SURE you see all these "influencers living their best life". It might be the greatest scam of all time.
a lot of the streamers you said where lejit also took poker sponsorships , which is just as bad due to only 30% of people who play poker break even and 10% lose money.

Considering how much content is outright forbidden due to being harmful, it's weird that gambling is allowed on Twitch.
Its not wierd.
Its like everything ealse, they get paid off.

anyway these streams are illegal in some countries as gambling promotion, but it's kinda hard for the countries to get on top of it. undisclosed promotion on the other hand is illegal in most countries.
In a world filled with people who only care about money, we should know not to fall into their traps, this wouldn't be harmful if the viewers didn't try it, i just sit back and watch as it's just entertainment not educational therefore i don't get influenced, remember if something is to good to be true, it probably isn't.

You dont understand what is going on and your anology is wrong.
And no its nothing like you described
For anyone wondering how do this websites have millions to pay influencers is because thay pay little to no tax and have a fraction of the expenses of a regular casino. And if I were a very skeptical guy, I would say that this type of online casino that has proven to be able to modify your balance at a whim might be a cool way to launder and transfer drug/crime money overseas. Because you can track crypto transactions on the blockchain, the online crypto casinos can be used to launder and transfer that money to anoter wallet w/o a direct transaction!
That makes alota sense
Thats the first thing I thought of when he described the way it works. I bet there's dirty tracks that need to be investigated here. I guarantee there has to be SOME use of the system to launder money.

@Nolan Wilson Underage people & people with poor impulse control.
He actually does
I remember back when the whole hype around CS:GO gambling was around. Back then I was only around 12-13, and I sadly got caught up in the mindset that since the RUclipsrs I watched earned big money (I was easily influenced), it would be possible for me too. So, I began gambling. And guess what? The majority of times I gambled, I lost. By the end of around 2016-17, I had lost over 2000$ in total (which is an insane amount of money for me, especially since I was so young) and was treading on the line of becoming a gambling addict. Luckily with some of my last rational thoughts and with some help from my parents, I managed to stop having the urge to gamble, after all the access to the sites I knew were blocked by my father. Although it took about a whole year to stop having urges, I overcame them. My hatred for sites like these are immeasurable.
My heart goes out to those not fortunate enough to have overcome the urges or have had their lives ruined by casinos, whether they be online or not.
I might have gotten the wrong message from this video because now I have a project file for a gambling platform.
im convinced Twitch is here to ruin our younger generation, Girls in bikini pools in their room, girls doing ASMR and wearing almost nothing doing it, Gaming FPS games and being toxic to one another, and now the Gambling promotion to the youth. Dont get me wrong there must be a good side to twitch and many enjoy it, but there is also way more stuff that can ruin a kids mind!
TikTok ruined the future as well.
yeah when I was young we just used generated cc numbers to pass age checks on porn sites! and instead of rickroll we had goatse.
but seriously, watching porn and strippers without recognizing it as porn because they got strings on and ask money is kinda worrying - as is watching gambling advertisements as content without recognizing them as advertisements.
like.. even by just reading Sinuhe the Egyptian you should learn that simping your familys money out to some pretty lady who just wants your money is not a good way to go and it's predatory to be doing that to young males - and math lessons should teach why the universe doesn't care that you 'feel lucky' and biology and psych lessons should cover the addiction loop of gambling(and how expensive way it is to get a shot of high).
It's just the internet
@benjamin bessette point proven
Think of this as society making people easier to profit off of, creating more opportunity for everybody!
I really wish Twitch would ban ppl that stream gambling. It's ridiculous imo.
or just anything that isnt gaming related considering thats what the platform was made for. when they sold twitch, amazon thought it would be a good idea to turn it into a wish version of youtube. the platforms gone down hill as far as content quality goes. the new meta on twitch, is spending 8-10 hours commentating on the johnny depp amber heard case which is just purely disgusting. i wonder how much money these twitch streamers are making off of someones domestic abuse and violence case. i get the trial is public, but to sit there and make jokes and laugh about the events is just disgusting. barely even see any gaming on twitch, most of the gamers i watched on there, moved to youtube anyway so.
my surprise is that 20-50k people watch Trainwreck just scroll through bunch of pictures and collect or lose numbers at the bottom of the screen. I mean how sad does your life need to be to watch that kind of unfulfilling content, when not only is it all rigged, its not real money but it also wont get the viewers anything out of it. its just sad
im gonna start off this by saying i dont defend unlawful acts by either the companies or the influencers and i dont gamble myself, but i do think people should be responsible for their own actions and/or have some form of control over their childrens activity online. The content creator should be transparent, twitch definitely should have a age verification for the gambling section. Even more importantly is that the gambling sites should make statistics public and it much harder for kids to be able to gamble on those sites (keep in mind this is my opinions)
@@taylorcliff6609 Youre right bro. Also i think Twitch is really bad for the younger generation, ASMR soft p0rn basically, pool streams, watch me sleep, gambling...all poison to a lttle kids mind.
@@BazFitt as someone who was born right on the inception of gaming in the average household, i fought to make gaming a profitable venture whether that was through gaming blogs/mags or regional tournaments. you can imagine my excitement and disappointment with twitch. the communities are vial, the streamers are not entertaining nor are they original. the gaming content is stale as shit and its extremely hard to digest any of it. the jokes are border line racist and sexist and are generally just recycled from other streamers. i had high hopes for mixer, not as a platform but i did hope it would separate the two communities, as im tired of the army of 12 yr old sheep that makes up twitch these days.
Im really having a hard time being a fan of the UFC anymore. I always knew they were shady but since they were sold they are just blatantly over the top greedy. I dont think i will be buying any PPV UFC events anytime soon....

I got a jail broken firestick. I watch frre
I haven’t paid to watch that shit in years 😂😂😂 shoutout to my live-streamers
I think the UFC has done a great job in promotion. Fighters from the UFC are given more of a spotlight than any other sportsman and can leverage that into whatever they want, (they can go into twitch streaming; start up a RUclips channel).
I think its time for you to become a pirate if you know what i mean :)
Man Twitch really wants to be regulated by the U.S. government so bad xD
I know a programmer who works for an online casino and he told me he was surprised that, while during a meeting, it was mentioned that the code was rigged so the site could make money. I was surprised that he was surprised.
Everything is rigged. That is why these sites are some of the most profitable in existence
Youre friend is a idiot, youre not.
😂 yeah like wtf do you expect them to do, rig it against themselves?

did the site lie about the odds though? that would be a little bit to be surprised about but the odds are _supposed_ to be against the player in the first place it's not like they work as a charity.

Tons of young adults in my age bracket are getting sucked into gambling addictions. These online casinos aren’t doing anything for the problems they’re creating. The streamers are also culpable. They will have to live with this on their conscious and we are seeing how many of these streamers have no integrity. It’s amazing how Stevewilldoit, Aden, and other streamers didn’t have people in their inner circle that might suggest that their actions could have severe consequences for their own ‘fans’.

Dude, if your friends are dumb and gonna gamble away all their money, that's their fault. I was addicted to weed, realized I can't buy it because it's too expensive, and stopped (i should have also blamed the weed dealers for selling it) . Do you realize that blaming someone else for their problems is a way bigger problem. Just don't gamble if you can't afford it, it's that simple man.

Spencer, I have a ton of respect for you for not gambling. That is truly awesome. Last time I gambled on a $1 credit, 3 credit bet slot machine Wheel Of Fortune, I blew $300 and I asked myself why I just did that. I walked away and have not gambled since. It will be 4 years the end of this July. I am so proud of myself for that. Gambling is a poor mans tax.
You're the man Spencer. These twitch streamers are hella predatory even if they pay lip service like saying "dont do what I'm doing kids".

Philion's video on this exact topic got taken down by YT for "promoting gambling"
I mentioned this in a way a while back on a different video and glad to see you putting a spotlight on this issue.
I specifically mentioned much smaller channels that promote slots with in person videos of them at slots. They have an entire community on RUclips and many actually give “advice” on how to win more in slot games. Still pretty nefarious and awful but these streamers have way more influence.
It hits home for me because my parents squandered their life savings in retirement and now I am burdened with taking care for them. It’s a horrible addiction that ruins lives.
How can you give advice on winning slots? It's literally you clicking a button and the computer generated the outcome. You can have strategies and tips in poker or blackjack, not slots. And if somebody still claims they know the pattern they're delusional, people tend to notice trends and connections in randomness.
@@januszkurahenowski2860 the advice they’re giving is all total bs. The advice givers either know that and they’re cynically scamming their audience or they’re as idiotic as their fans and actually believe you can develop a slots strategy. There’s obviously no way to beat a slot machine or use strategy to win more money, but that hasn’t stopped people from offering slot machine “advice” for ages. You can find books and mail order vhs tapes peddling that crap from 40 years ago.
Slots are programmed to turn your money into 75% of your money. It pays out a bit less than gets put in. The longer you play the slot the more you cement in your loss
@@januszkurahenowski2860 that’s exactly my point. Obviously slots is purely a game of chance that is specifically rigged in favor of the house, there is no strategy to it at all.
These people are totally full of it. Gamblers are especially vulnerable to believe the bullshit because they need to in order to justify their habit.
my x is a gambling addict and was constantly glued to those slot channels, this was one of the reasons we broke up because it got to the point where the channels were brainwashing her into thinking that if she just kept playing eventually she will break even. the last i knew, she was homeless but still puts her last coin into the machine over buying food.
listen who would use slots in a real casino let alone a shady site? Slots in general is the biggest scam.
I really wish more countries would ban sites like these, it's freaking gross
You think the governments don't know about how abusive these sites are?. Oh they know. They just let them do whatever they want.

Great video! I will say that I don’t think these influencers are saying “don’t gamble like me” due to the gambling having a negative impact on their life. I’m almost certain that it is the gambling version of “this is not Financial advice”. They just want to cover their asses for when they get called out, so they can point to that and say “look i told them not to!”. Either way these people are scum, sad to see so many negatively affected by this
Exactly! The hippocricy is also so crystal clear as well. I'm finding it absolutely disgusting that these people are promoting this stuff to an impressionable audience while also saying "don't do what I'm doing, bruh".
100% Anything that an entertainer includes in their show is adding a value judgement to it. Adding gambling to entertainment is one thing, but these guys all make the gambling the hero of their show. It's totally unethical, not even considering the audience, and the lacking disclaimers.

@Mark Vogel When this happens, You can always tell the DEALER to call the floor and the floor will review the camera footage within minutes and make a ruling. I've played live poker in Vegas for almost 10 years, I see these mistakes a lot, players will tap their chips or cards and it looks like a check back. Reality is, in your situation ,you wanted the player to check back. Being out of position and not knowing where you're at, then having to face a big bet can be frustrating.

You actually missed a major point in this video. Unlike real world regulated casinos, everything on the digital casinos are generated by computers and not bounded by physical limitations. This means all the numbers you see can be literally precisely set up and faked, including prizes, wins, losses, account balances, etc. Those streams are sponsored by those shady unregulated websites and the operators have full control of the systems. It's not unlikely that those accounts are specifically set up with balances, private games, probabilities or even win/loss sequences pre-arranged for the streams. This is one of the major factors people fall for this -- they don't know those websites are absolutely not analogs of real world casinos. Not even close.
One thing to remember, electronic gambling games are all fixed. The owner of the system has full control over every win. It is not random and they cannot lose, you CAN NOT WIN.
When online casino get noticed by feds, the influencers will get the screwed really hard, while the casino's operators will be little harder to capture since all of them are in overseas islands
Why do you hate Gambling so much ? If it is because it is addictive Ok this is something I want to ask everyone.

Train is one of the few who I is doing real high risk bets with his money and isn't on a fill deal. 1) He shows his deposit address every time he depos. 2) I have seen him give away close to 10 MILLION to personal wallets during giveaways. 3) He is losing 99% of the sessions he gambles.
Now you can argue that what he is doing is unethical, and I won't argue with that. But there is still a large difference between someone getting paid 5-10M a month and gambling all of it, and someone getting 10-50k fills every week and isn't really risking their own "money".

@@AssistanceCS oh it's for sure bankrolled, no doubt about it. If I had to guess, I'd imagine his deal is something along the lines of "10M+ a month and have to wager x amount, or stream for x hrs" or something.

Funny because these influencers loose 95% of the time they gamble on stream.. like do you even watch their streams? Trainwrecks literally has been doing nothing but loose money everytime he streams and hit one max win after months and months of gambling lol. It's horrible that these streamers are advertising gambling so that people get addicted but let's not act like they aren't loosing most of the time they are advertising their gambling. Just because they win 100 grand on a thousand dollar bet doesn't mean sht when you consider that's only 100x on slots that can hit 5000-10,000x.
Worst Black Jack side bet in Vegas is 6:5. Online gambling is 0.95 to one.

6:5 payout on blackjack? Thats not a side bet but you're correct 3:2 is what you want.
So pathetic. Well done Spencer appreciate your awesome work
I started gambling by watching a video of Steve playing online. These guys have a lot of power to influence us. I lost $2k in blackjack over 3 days.
No they don't your just duumb as hell
Ok this is something I want to ask everyone. Do you think the same thing about influences starting an only fans or promoting other people's only fans ? I know this seems apples to oranges but porn has been proven to be addictive and to have negative health effects. So my question is how comes no one seems to take issue with influences promoting porn to a young audience ? Gambling is also addictive yes but how comes it is being singled out so much ?
You are using what's called "Whataboutlism", both is bad in one way or another but the main focus now is "(online) gambling" which has a shady way of doing business like high chance of house winning (some with controlled odds) and so forth also lots of streamer are getting sponsored by the casino and (sometime) not disclosing it. In the end if you have your mind set that the streamers won't influence your life choices then good for you but by how much the streamers are getting paid, the casino knows that it will influence lots of other viewers.
Because porn is over in a couple minutes. Gambling addiction can last forever and can cause serious financial hardship. Trying to chase losses can result in lost family, jobs and home. Seeing a girls booty for 10 mins is just a dopamine hit and ya move on
This video was very well put together and revealed
I respect the work you put into your videos. I find it truly baffling that all major crypto RUclipsrs just look at pure wave and completely ignore the bigger narrative of why BTC is pumping and why the future outlook might not be as bullish as it seems. It's kind of irresponsible to ignore the fact that each ETF launch so far has caused a big swing in BTC spike. We were already on shaky footing with historically low volume and almost pure whale pumps, narrowly avoiding a long-term bear market. This is the worst possible time in history to invest as so many don't back up their crypto assets.More emphasis should be put into day trading as it is less affected by the unpredictable nature of the market,……..I have made over 11 btc frm day trading Eliana Brooklyn insights and signals in less than 2 weeks this is one of the best medium to backup vour assets Incase it goes bearish
Most failures and loss on investment usually
happens when you invest without proper knowledge of the market..I was able to recover my losses with Eliana Brooklyn,
Her good reputation already speaks for her last month i invested over $100,000 with her and I've already made over $250,000 profit..
Kindly reach her thru Nice gram page with,,
Elianabk is the name.
My growing love for crypto caused me to explore until I came across Eliana(although I'm trying to avoid sensationalism) they are by far the best. No hype for hype's sake, but great inspiration to trade crypto
At least with physical games there is probably less of a chance of manipulation but software based gambling is just nuts. How can you trust software to not allow manipulation? They are literally built by people who can make it do whatever they want.
Even if you use a VPN to play on these sites and somehow win you'll never see the money because when you try to they ask for KYC verification then refuse on the basis that you can't gamble where you live
very good video Spencer, about time someone addressed this disease thats getting out of hand......
Thanks for keeping these guys in check. Appreciate your work!
I know one person personally that actually makes money gambling. I do not gamble myself but I do understand their strategy. They have been doing it for 10 years now.
Yeah sure thing, forex 'signals' (aka some african) scammer. You don't beat odds gambling, thats the whole point.
These people will be the same one to say that they don't need to learn math. If they paid attention in their math class, they would know about distribution and how small their chances are to winning big on a consistence basis.
I appreciate you doing these videos
you could have take the famous train quote ... DO NOT GET TWISTED!
Well, at least we understand why people call them DEGENERATE GAMBLERS. I'm 55 yo and have seen people blow the house payment in a poker machine. It's tragic. And it hurts. Because you know it's not the asshat who pays, it's the spouse and kids who ultimately are hurt the most. There is nothing wrong with having a flutter as it were. The annual trip to Preakness. The annual vacation to Vegas or AC. Things like that are fine. Just so it's not a daily weekly or monthly thing. And truth is, I'd rather be sailing, having a dinner out or traveling.
Just imagine the utter devastation this sort of degenerate gambling will sow!
It’s one thing to have to get in a plane and fly the Vegas to lose the kid’s college fund but totally something else to sit in a basement for hours upon hours feeding the beast with every last dollar you can get your hands on!
This is the definition of a really bad idea…
Great video Spencer!
I'm an old school gambler. I only gamble on felt with a real wheel, dice or cards and a human dealer. NEVER gamble online, or with software.
This is like csgo gambling websites back in the days. History do repeat itself
I’m not a gambler but I’ve been working in the industry for 12 or so years now and a lot of my job has to do with compliance. I can tell you, an online gambling company with a decent license would never even think about onboarding players from forbidden countries, especially the US, because that’s a sure way to get a massive fine, get in legal trouble, or right out lose your license to operate. Curaçao is far from a reputable license, though, and if you’re smart you’ll never deposit money to a Curaçao-licensed operator. Reputable regulators aim to protect players by, for example, ensuring that games of chance are fair (they verify that the RNG really is random and not rigged to benefit the house, for example), winnings are paid out, the operator complies with AML standards and so on. Curaçao does none of that, but is considerably cheaper and easier to obtain than a proper license.
as someone who is from california and now has lived in vegas for off and on since 2010.......i rarely gamble, back in cali i would go to jackson and play blackjack and i decided to learn to count cards so i spent a bunch of time to learn to count. just about every time i went to jackson i made money and lost like once. im pretty sure the dealers knew what i was doing and none of them cared as long ass i wasnt on the big tables. i mostly went because my friends were addicted to poker but i never found that kind of thing towards gambling. living in vegas i really learned how gambling can take your life away
I'm surprised there is no VPN sponsorship in the video LOL
Just watched How money works with a similar topic. Well done the both of you.
Gambling = donating your money to a business
They can preach all they want to their audiences to not gamble because you will lose, but kids listen to no one when they hear negatives. The streamers saying don't gamble are fooling themselves if they think their message will sink in.
RUclips should stop people being able to advertise gambling to people under 18. I don't expect it will happen.
Spencer's videos are always on point!!!
before the internet people maybe knew celebrities and athletes those type of rich people. Now it's like social media exists to make sure you feel bad about the life you live and MAKE SURE you see all these "influencers living their best life". It might be the greatest scam of all time.
If you hang out at the barbershop everyday, you'll eventually get a haircut.
a lot of the streamers you said where lejit also took poker sponsorships , which is just as bad due to only 30% of people who play poker break even and 10% lose money.
Thank you for making this video.
More people need to see your vids. I wish I would have seen them about 5 years ago.
Wow.. We can gamble now in the US on this from anywhere!!! Thanks Spencer😁😁😁
Big big props Spencer.
very insightful video Spencer, Didn't know about his - now I`m seeing stake everywhere
We love the bell curve. Wait this might be news to them.
Hit me up 👆📩
Lol, did anyone catch that. The company is licensed in Curacao but is unable to provide online gambling in that same country.
