Bandit Gone

[mjl5656]

Looks like he has gone for good all Videos have been removed 

I was wondering how long anyone could keep going betting 30k a week !

I think the bandit slots Youtube account didn't get banned, but simply got a policy strike from Youtube, so out of precaution he's delisted his videos for a month. I'm sure he'll put them back up once the strikes are removed from his account.

Just watched the bandit live stream on twitch, he streamed for 4 hours and lost 6k. His best win came on Sword of Khan, 3 retriggers.

I'd not worry about the bandit. He is a multi millionaire from all the sign ups over the years. He can now retire to a life of luxury.

From 40-60p spins to £40 spins or more. That shows you how taking advantage of the UK's addiction to slots can benefit

the person at the top of the affiliation tree.

I’m unable to watch nick slots and chipmonkz anymore I’m in a different department at work am I missing much ?

[Mentholdan]

The Bandit, "apparently his name is Steve" was asked some rather intrusive questions to which he could have rightly replied "none of your business". 

Are you a millionaire? "No". What do you do for a living? "It would take too long to explain". 

At the end of the day, I watch a lot of streamers and "most of them" come across as complete asshole, but this guy doesn't. He seems like a very nice guy, the kind you could enjoy a few pints down the local with. All in all he seems good company.

Why do I get the feeling you're fishing???? So you work different hours?? ALL of Chipmonkz streams are on youtube, unedited, or if you like, edited down to about 40 mins. Nick slots are there to see on twitch. So basically just because you're working doesn't mean you have to miss out. You are surely aware of this?? Or would you rather I opened up and said what I really think of them? I feel like I'm being goaded here to say nasty things about them. If I think they are just downright rude or they are abusing the general public I'm not backward coming forward don't you worry. Stupid and rediculous arguments happen "all the time on online forums" and I really don't want to get sucked into one, especially from discussing a third party. 

I'm not angry with what you wrote and it's hard to reply in writing and explaining without it coming across as an angry reply. But I am curious as to why someone with your knowledge of how Twitch and youtube work, would have to ask how they've been doing lately. Something just doesn't feel right that's all. 😁

Personally I do not care how nice a person is or how good a laugh he'd be down the pub when his job is to get people addicted to something there is no skill or control. The token gestures of gamstop are the same as them warnings on a fobt that 99.9999% instantly dismissed. At the end of the day their job is to get rich on the back of other people's misery. What % of the 15 billion lost by UK residents to gambling is from Slots. I'd say a hefty whack because bookies do not let people win online via betting so it must be a good £3-5 billion perhaps more, arcades take a whack, scratchcards too I'd saw

These guys "on line streamers" have found a way to make easy money, a great deal of easy money. The term I recently used a couple of times is "they've found the goose that lays the golden egg" They don't help the cause for problem gamblers but they can't be held solely responsible. What "most of them" do is morally wrong but it's not illegal, yet. The government have the power to come down hard on everyone involved in the gambling industry but their rake off would suffer by billions as well. To be honest, I don't think their will ever be a solution.

[Mentholdan]

You don't have to apologise mate, ever. 

I was doing my damndest to reply without sounding grumpy and felt like I was digging a deeper hole for myself 😁

£3.8bn is lottery and scratchcards alone. So factor in bingo, poker, and sports betting probably very little.

[DaveM]

Casino slots account for 2.1bn per annum, it would seem. It's 14.58% of gambling profit, therefore.

I used the wrong figure for lotto so correcting that it is 3.4bn.

Bookies make over 1. 5bn per year on football betting alone. Add in horses its a further 1.1bn. Cricket, rugby snooker darts tennis golf dogs etc and you could add another 1bn I'd say.

Biggest individualsource is by far and away physical machines but streamers ain't profiting from that and I'd say the overwhelming majority of those who view streamers seek the videos because they are already in to gambling whether sports, pokers arcades, or fruities.

I'd be confident that fewer than 1% of people on this site were introduced to gambling because of streamers

 

[Mentholdan]

I would definitely go along with that last statement..
