The future of streaming

[Mentholdan]

Streamers such as Casino Daddy, Ayzee, Classy Beef and Roshtein regularly playing at £/€ 40 per spin, Chipmonkz often playing with stakes of £20 & £40 and the other night £100 per spin. How long before live streaming is banned here in the UK? or maybe a cap on stakes of £2 per spin. Even if the Gov. don't step in they can put pressure on the likes of Youtube and Twitch.

I think it’s a possibility. I’d hazard a guess that <1% of the population could afford to regularly play those stakes. But the cynic in me would suggest that it’d simply be moral posturing by the government as the majority of problem slot gamblers play ‘affordable’ £2 stakes or less, but obviously that can easily lead to £00s losses very quickly.

Don’t know what the future will be but a know for me anyways it’s pointless watching these high stake guys as it’s totally unrealistic for someone like me to play at these stakes far prefer the low stake slots or up to £2 at the max

To be honest I only watch Darren's videos. I think the majority of us are £1 or £2 players max. I don't even believe the post on here from the jammin jars win at £40 stakes was real.

Am the same £1-£2 at arcades bookies etc but 50p-£1 online these £40 spins have no relevance to most normal people and the losses must be huge when playing at these stakes

yea its mental!£1000 bonus buys and £40 spins!wtf!!!!

Isn't the higher stakes that makes it more interesting to watch? I mean we watch football or tennis or any other professional sport that we also play but on a lower skill level and it's still enjoyable.

Streaming is how they make their money, carry on like that and they'll get booted off, they are not promoting responsible gambling and that's what the powers that be want to see.

Yes twitch and live streaming/playing 24/7 is where it's at. I'm highly suspicious of these groups. I know they get other streams of income but you would expect their losses to be astronomical at those levels of play. But every now and then someone dumps a 1500x on them. Methinks they could well be in league with the online casinos and getting backhanders or ip wins as they know their ip address by now. 

Something is not right - they should be losing a lot more than they do.

Streamers quite clearly don't gamble with their own money. They're obviously gambling with money given to them by the casinos, in a way of getting their casinos promotion and hoping gullible viewers sign up and gamble there lives away. 

Streamers like nickslots react in such an aggressive manor when anyone ever dares to mention its not his money he's playing slots with, it's ridiculous. 

 I 100% think stakes will be capped in the UK soon, and the sooner the better imo 

I do enjoy watching streams, but the ones that are more realistic to me, the £2 or £3 stakes.
