Hideous banned from youtube.

[Ian Hislop]

It might be a mistake, but why he is banned, is not clear yet.

Another video, not so friendly

Quite an outpouring of grief for the ban on TGC : https://thegamblingcommunity.com/forum/index.php?/topic/7911-hideous-slots-banned-on-youtube/

No sleep lost here, I’ve said it before that the guy is a total nut job. His panto performances drive me up the wall. 
Most streamers are just narcissistic control freaks, think they know it all and just love the sound of their own voice 🤪🤪

They say things like oh just tell us in the chat what games you want see and when someone suggests a game they’ll say I’m not playing that, just to let you know who’s in charge.

[Ian Hislop]

From what I can see there's a stream of people being banned from his website. He's a brave brave guy, knowing he will cross the wrong person.

A lot of slot folks have had their channels pulled and reinstated. The Bandit has and I also believe StopandStep did at some point too.

I’ve no idea why it’s been pulled. I’ve watched a few of his videos and he wasn’t for me. But if he’s done nothing wrong, I hope he gets it back.

Hideous can get a bit much for me, but quite enjoy watching some of his videos, always thought the production was good.

Don't really understand all the negativity and fake streamer accusations towards him, it's not as though he is hiding the fact he plays with a lot of bonus funds.  His streams sometimes at least give a more realistic view of the time wasted trying to achieve bonuses, compared to highlight videos where all the grind is cut out.

We all have a brain and surely can decide for ourselves how relevant the videos are to our own betting habit. I mean I always assume it is fantasy at the stakes which are way higher than I can afford to play.

As for the guy swigging out of a can, who the feck is he with his video spouting off?

Same old story, if you don’t agree with them you’re banned.  
I don’t know why people are so surprised about the  YouTube ban, maybe he will get back on maybe not but surely it’s inevitable and just a matter of time that all slot streaming is banned?

I see talk about chip being next but I am not sure if that is hopes urging or not. I mean, I hope he finds the dole queue soon for what he does to others.

I used to think so too. I really fell for it. The attempt at comedy was pretty good. I enjoyed many hours watching him but then I realised he is infact corrupt. But that is all irrelevant... here's why :

Footballers, celebrities and social media influencers will be banned from gambling adverts under new rules. From October, gambling companies will not be allowed to use stars to target under-18s, The Committee for Advertising Practice said.5 Apr 2022

Will is sending people to his website with over 50 links to gambling. That is advertising no matter what. They are all doing it. The 'do it indirectly' idea was never going to last. 

Gambling is a dangerous culture. It is proven to ruin lives. Families. That needs without a shadow of a doubt to be controlled as best as possible. 

Darren here, who for me remains one of the most likeable, respectable players, will no doubt have to shut down any form of promotion too. It's just a matter of time.

For the record, I have seen both Will and Chip, treat people like dirt. 

[Stormy]

Thankfully I've never fallen for it, always treated as fantasy video's. Quite like Darren's video's in the shops as a bit closer to what I bet, but even then wary as the boring loss time is edited out to make the video's more watchable.

The new rules targetting under-18's, will mean the you-tube video's related to gambling will be age-restricted content. You-tube already has that enforcement policy available. In fact I'm disappointed Darren, Hideous etc don't already flag over-18 content as age-restricted.

The weird thing about high street shops and fobt's and the £500 max payout, is absolutely no player is better off financially or mentally, if they play these things. They waste time (the most precious commodity) and money. Nobody benefits from them except the bookies and the shop staff on minimum pay. Fobts should be shut down completely instead of dancing around gambling advertising.

Online casino's, I'm not sure how they should be tackled. Atm many seem to be cesspits, with all the bonus-locked-in-funds with high turnover requirement, difficulty of getting any money out, large fines for targetting vulnerable addicts...

Hopefully. The man is awful
