Streamers

Recommended Posts

I know online streamers lurk here, as Ive posted messages here before only to be "mentioned in despatches" on their streams the following day. Here's my new year's message for you. 

Firstly, I am not your bro or your man, also, "we" are not printing, you are, if "we" were printing then "we" would be sharing the winnings. Also, can you explain the difference between a bonus and a fucking bonus? Do not spout all the bollocks about responsible gambling and say you're not encouraging people to gamble and in the next breath ask people to gamble points as to what the outcome of the next bonus buy might be. Don't have the audacity to justify what you are doing by saying you are donating some of your own money to charity, it was never your money to begin with, affiliate money just makes you a glorified VAT collector. Finally, when someone posts a valid argument in the chat that you don't want to answer don't get your Mods to blast the chat with messages just so the awkward and valid question dissappears from view at lightening speed. Thank you and happy new year.

Ah now Mark... I might be able to help with this one... The difference is marking off a word in your Profanity Bingo card... This is a Patent Pending game I invented to double the enjoyment of watching some of the more liberal language users out there... you simply make up a selection of 3*3 cards with various swear words in each box and mark them off as you hear the word.... First person to get a straight line wins... It has totally transformed watching other streamers in our house... In the example below I have changed a few words as I don't want Darren barring me  lol.

PS Happy new year mate

I'm assuming that a line with hunt in it is the jackpot and bollocks is the easiest to get as its in the middle and all lines run through it. Can you clarify if its a win for the four corners?

Lol.. now stop being a centre bottom and asking hard questions that I don't give a left centre about... However, on the 4 corner issue I had not given it any thought but now you have mentioned it perhaps it should be the jackpot as you have to find 33% more profanity.

One guy I saw streaming was drinking tea or coffee and was slurping like pig in a trough, another kept yawning like he needed a good night's sleep and worse than that he kept talking while he was yawning. One particular streamer called Joe on classy beef was grooming his beard with a brush while he was streaming and the thing that really gets my goat he was drinking out of a bottle. Yes I'm a bit old fashioned but I can understand drinking from a can but a bottle to me is the ultimate of being uncouth.

A more upmarket game would contain words such as, bum, knickers, poo, sugar, flippin, cobblers, blast, oops and the real bad one for the bonus would be knackers.

I did ask on Casino Daddy what is the difference between a bonus and a fucking bonus and he called me a shit head, but they do seem like a nice bunch of guys 😁

Mentholdan, I find your post strange firstly as with all others streamers have free speech so can choose to use whatever language they like, then if it offends you or you just don't like it don't watch!! and of course streamers make money from affiliation etc but they do also promote gamble awareness and such like again over 18 watching content they have there own choices to make such as gambling or like me watching for entertainment purposes.

Hi Kask, thanks for your comments. I'm not at all offended by bad language and to be fair to most streamers they don't swear incessantly, but they do swear quite often. I agree with your comment that I don't have to watch but I do want to watch, and it would be great for me to think that some of them tweaked their style of broadcast because they had read my comments. I also totally agree with you that most streamers promote gamble awareness but one streamer in particular "classy beef" was explaining on camera that if you had issues with gambling etc call or get in touch with organisations that can help you. He then went on to say in no uncertain manner that people watching the stream should not gamble using the same huge stakes that they were and the only reason they gambled with large stakes was to increase the entertainment value. He then stressed that what they were doing was not encouraging gambling. He then went on to say that a competition was coming up on the stream and that members could Gamble their points by trying to predict the outcome.??? The biggest issue is the donating to charity by these streamers. Let's just say that I'm an affiliate streamer and You are watching my stream and you sign up to one of my offers. From then on I am making money from what you lose. Then I decide to take some of the money I make from your losses and donate it to charity in my name or the name under which I stream. People could be mislead to think that the donation came directly from me when in fact it came indirectly from you, but I get all the credit. Therefore justifying everything by saying look how much I'm donating. If Ladbrokes asked you for a donation to a charity that they were sponsoring, how likely would it be that you would donate? Finally Kask, when I make these posts I'm not on some mad one man crusade trying to expose evil on line streaming, I'm just tryi g to explain how I think it all works but with tongue firmly in cheek. 😁

Very well written mentholdan I understand your points of view and agree somewhat, I am not saying all streamers are perfect but with the donation thing regardless of how there money was made such as work or affiliation at the point they have that money it's all there's they don't have to promote charities they could just keep all they cash but instead choose to help out causes and the organizations benefit through there donations as well as ours when we chip in. That being said it's good to discuss these things because we all deserve to be heard and respected.

 I have gone from being not too bothered about heavy affiliation, donations and giveaways to very against it. When you have been hammered by online slots  it changes your mindset. Of course people are free to enjoy what they like and their views might change too. Whenever speaking out against affiliation it is just trying to save anyone from thinking that a 1000x bonus happens regularly, because some of these streamers are doing thousands of spins a day and not telling the whole story.

Exactly, I also think most people watching know the streamers are affiliates but what they don't know is exactly how affiliation works. My advice would be to watch them but don't subscribe to their channels and definitely don't sign up to any of their offers. Here's food for thought, I often, very often in fact, get bookies sending me links to free spins, normally up to about 25, all for 10p per spin AND I NEVER LOSE. I never win too much but I NEVER LOSE. We're ALL being Scammed ALL the time and the more gullible ones get sucked in.

Well you know they are purely out for what they can get, try to be clever about it pretending they are such great friends with their followers, utter nonsense they purely want you to use their links and line their pockets, take chipmonk for instance, 1st words out of his mouth give me likes, here are my links, oh if u have a problem use gamstop, purely an afterthought, never heard darren push this kind of bullshit is why i like watching his stuff
