Are Slots Streamers a Threat to the UK iGaming Industry?

[pinnit2014]

The one, bottom and 2nd from the left looks like the Radio DJ Stephen Nolan. Uncanny.

Rather than the gasp like expression, gaping mouths, hands to face etc, that pic really fails to capture the real expression of players which is simply a shrug of the shoulders and a 'shit, i got out of jail with that win, now i'm even, phhewwwww'

Several months on from the UKGC updated code of conduct I note CasinoGrounds are STILL not age gating videos on YouTube, an example from this week :-

Clips of UK based streamer NickSlots, with full affiliation links in plain view along with the OMG GUYS!!! THIS IS IT! £10 stake mega wins...

Considering LeoVegas own a 51% share not a great idea for their brand to be trying to act as if the new rules don't apply to them!

They're not UK based so I am guessing they don't have to follow UKGC rules

No they are not, but last time I looked LeoVegas had a UKGC licence and readily accepts UK players. They have a controlling interest in Casino Grounds and are in turn indirectly fuelling the position of those that want online gambling neutered here in the UK.

I think it gets a little more tricky when both CG and LeoVegas are not in the UK. Yes, LeoVegas has a UK license and had CG been a UK affiliate then perhaps they can make a point. Not so sure when they're not UK though........

 

[News Hound]

Well, seeing as the UKGC are not bothering going after UK based affiliates that target problem gamblers, sites that provide lists of offshore casinos that they can play at that do not use GamStop. Then the UKGC are not exactly doing their job effectively IMO.

They do, they are targeting UK players so have to follow UK rules, the ss's below clearly show a streamer using UK£'s, targeted at UK customers, and CG's own website is geo targeted to show offers in UK£'s

He’s a fan boy to a particular dude.

without other people’s losses this lot of bums wouldn’t have a pot to piss in...

not to mention the harm they do to problem or potential problem gamblers.

utter scum

You refering to me?

Yep and that particular streamer has age gated his own Youtube channel but his clips are featured on another website (admittedly one that he co-owns).

Should I be penalized when one of my clips on my age gated Youtube channel gets featured elsewhere which has happened before?

The video I took that from is not age gated. Thats his problem, presumably he gave permission for the clip to be used, or will have filed a DCMA request with youtube to get it taken down, if not, then he is promoting himself without the appropriate age gating.

Do you have links to casinos or your website where you promote the casinos on screen in your video or linked below the clips video? If not then you will be fine. You can of course do a DCMA request to youtube and get the video removed if you think it puts you at risk of breaching the rules, or if the person using the clip is promoting UK casinos, complain to the affiliate programs directly.

As you say, he part owns CG so that pretty much removes any defence he might have had. There are links to CG's in the description, which then targets UK players, which he benefits from. He clearly knows the rules by the way his own channel is set up, so attempting to bypass the regulations by CGs is clearly not right.

@homerbert can you clarify this clown is real?

Not that it’s really relevant as the way gambling is promoted is a disgrace...from you and this divvy...

@homerbert is unable to access the site due to the bad stuff happen8ng in his country. His account is dormant at moment.

Yeah but he’s told us all this guy is real and it’s real money.

I’m sorry whatever is going on in his country, but to promote a obvious parasite like this is pretty shady, well infact it’s a disgrace.

@Casinomeister is anyone stepping in for the absence of @homerbert ?

That same upstanding casino called Vegaz - instant withdrawals, no verification of course, it's in his bank account already.

What a tool. I'm doubting he even gets 10% as some claim these days the amount he cashes out.

No shit. I find this abhorrent and beyond unethical as a rep here stated this was real.

Only a dodo would find this real.

but on a serious note.

responsible gambling? This forum reaches out the world over, we have a casinomeister accredited casino, and a active rep telling the world that this utter BS is real...

some accountability here is needed as this is a lot more shocking and damaging than wrong think on a politics sub thread...

priorities much

 

[Playford7]

It’s not relevant.

my views are well known on this, it’s not a defendable practice no matter the side of the fence you sit.

eventually the axe will fall.

So, one can become a millionaire with just €2000 deposit? Where do I sign up?

Easily mate.

chipmonkz slots are experts at this.

Which leads on to another point...does anyone actually still believe that the games being played are the original, authentic, standard RTP games that the rest of us play?!

The whole idea is just sick mate.

this streaming fad is so morally wrong im bewildered others can’t see it,

yes it’s easy to justify when it’s your sole income,
but the likes of chip, nick, fruity, that idiot whom sounds like a seseme street character (David..l)

and the rest cannot promote any responsibility regarding gambling the way they do, the fake offers they get the max cashout allowed etc..

the bandit (Steve) is just the same

regards your RTP question, online casinos and the business is more dirty than a hookers panties mate, always has been...

so it’s possible.

When I joined here last jan I used to read your posts @Playford7 as if you were stirring trouble but everything you have said is turning out to be true. These crooks are not only killing the fun for us normal players but they are now running the risk of getting online gambling stopped for good.

Respect sir, and apologies for doubting you in the early days. Now back to my vodka red bull and bonanza D chase.
