    It was recently revealed that streamers are not investing a single cent of their savings in crypto casinos. Site owners fund their accounts in case of loss so that they keep playing. This was told by streamer Matthew Rinaudo, known by the nickname Mizkif.
    According to him, under the contract, he received 35 thousand dollars for every hour of broadcasting at a crypto casino. At the same time, he pledged to conduct ten-hour broadcasts of the game in the casino for a month. In June, Matthew pulled out of cooperation with a crypto casino for moral reasons.

    I dont really see a problem when a streamer is sponsored to play a certain game as long as its disclosed. Its like all the regular gaming channels that play RAID SHADOW LEGENDS. They're paid but at least they let you know. But if they're paid behind clsoed doors to play an exclive slot thats most definitely disingenuous... I agree. These days its harder and harder to tell who actually play gambling games for real and who is just a sell out shill.

    @lutacubra81 Completely agree, the worst is when they're paid behind closed doors but then claimed the opposite.

    @lutacubra81 very true. There are a few streamers, not English streams anyway, that play with their own money. I knew a guy who dropped slots streaming after 2 months I think cause his balance went South.

    Wherever there is money, then there are such cooperations. Well, we won't do anything about it

    Being paid by providers for playing there games more is not the same as playing with sponsored money though. you can compare it with influencers and content creators getting paid for ad campaigns.. the topic is wether the streamers play with there own money or the casinos and has nothing to do with providers paying streamers for more exposure. If streamers who play with there own money (sometimes with wager bonuses which is fine) getting paid on the side as a way to partly finance their gambling I don't see that as an issue tbh.

    @lisamedi exactly but it would be alot better for everyone to just put the cards on the table.

    I played a lot before Regulations started in Germany...

     

    The highest Win was 2000x in that Time at 1€.

    If i see some Streamers who have nearly every Day a 5000x at 10$ at their Streams,

    i can´t believe that this is all true  Money or if the Casinos "help" a bit because they are streaming,

    showing Games and the Name of the Casino.

     

    I may be wrong, but for me they do "Entertainment" on YouTube and i don´t care if they get paid or not,

    if they burn own Money or not...

     

    At least they are good Entertainers ;)

    @xxxxwildingxxxx could u please write a puncture and stop a sentence? Then start a new sentence and make it short and understandable.
    Its impossible to read without getting headache. 
    Read your text as you were someone else reading it, before posting it. It helps.

    About letsgiveitaspin (casinogrounds). I understand you like them. Good for you. 
    I think its very strange They can play and promote their own slot, that They Been a part of creating. Net Gains and Book of Power for instance, then They post on Youtube: ”one of our biggest win in this amazing slot” (for instance). Then some are questioning them how They can win That Much on Their own slot. Or ”doesnt it feel weird promoting your own slot?, someone Ask.

    Their answer is ”you should have seen how Much we lost prior to this”. Old and well-used comment, but lame.
    Because i am sure They get a percentage of money That goes to the slot They created with Relax Gaming. So basically They are saying: ”you should have seen how Much we Been losing TO OURSELVES prior to this. Cuz when They lose on those slots They have made and get revenue from, its basically like winning at the same time. And i am sure not all people watching them or see Their youtube clip really knows They are co-creators. Anyway, to me Thats unethical.

    They shouldnt be allowed playing their own slot. When Roshstein came out with immortal cube and played it, a lot of people complained and thought it was so unethical and bad for the industry to play your own slot. Now others streamers are doing the same. 

    When it comes to play with your own money, trust me, all streamers have deals with casinos. If its for example 400% deposit bonus (meaning 1/5 is your own money and 4/5 casino money), then That is definately far from all your own money. Or insane affiliate rake backs or other given Bonuses from loyalty account managers, whatever. 
    Trust me, They have deals.

     

    i think the providers need to set boundaries. If They gonna call themselves a ”Responsible Provider for Responsible Gaming”, then They shouldnt promote slots like this..or at least have certain standards. Just my opinion..

    @berserker 

    I agree. Then they post their amazing wins, even with topics such as ”Raised the bet and look What happened” or ”biggest win so far” and its their own slot.

    And people thought it was bad when Roshstein was playing and promoting his own Immortality Cube. Even streamers was against it, and now They do the same. 

    You shouldnt be allowed to play your own slot, made by you. It dont make sence. Cuz the money you lose, go to yourself anyways, a certain percentage does. 

    Then at the same time, promote responsible gambling. I think its bad by Relax Gaming, who call themself being very strict about responsible gaming care provider, to keep allowing these things to happen. Its very two faced, its hippocratic. 

    It just shows how badly and how far people are willing to go, just for show, for money.

    if providers and streamers are promoting responsible gaming and act / pretend to be strict about it, then They promote their own product the second after, then What should we players believe in at the end of the day?
