CasinoGrounds streamers are paid actors?

i won 1.2k at the beginning of the month then the 3 weeks after i lost it all back doing 3c-9c bets... So yeah it can go fast no matter the bet especially if you play a lot.

Some yes, not a one size fits all situation.

2003....... 20p spins
2023....... 9p spins lol

Yeah was just going to say this. My stakes have remained the same since I started in 2011. I’ll only up my bets a bit if I hit a decent win and have the bankroll.

Same here these days, I try to keep the vast majority of my play at 20c max but take the occasional punt when feeling lucky.

I've done insane bets (€20 Bonanza and BoR come to mind) though but the days of going over €2 a spin are behind me, I already start feeling uneasy spinning at €1 a pop.

It used to be that games' bonuses could be roughly anticipated, so off the back of a good bonus round I'd 'up' stakes incrementally.

So the humble 20p would turn into 60, then over £1 when so much in the black that it's essentially throwaway money. Highest I'd dabble might be a flurry of £3-4 bets, but not for long, as I'd lose my bottle and didn't really fancy ending the session so abruptly feeling like a right tit.

Today's games don't allow for any margin of error, and with bonuses sometimes taking thousands of spins to come around, one needs balls of steel just to sustain a normal session, never mind raising bets and dreaming of riches (chortle)

Yep the volatility increased so much the days of the bonuses every 100-200 spins are long gone. Unless you have tons of money to blow you have to stick to low bets.

I’m a 0.15 to 0.30 spinner and always have been. Any slot with a minimum bet north of 0.30 doesn’t get played. End of.

My experience is really 7 out of 10 deposits equal or bust. The 3 others are usually "good" but if i do the math and numbers sporadicly it's never above my initial deposits over a certain amount of time.

I'm just constantly looking when i play. I experiment. I go from 3 a spin up to 15 to even 75 euro a spin. Just trying my luck in a way hoping to hit something worthwhile.

And yeah games can hit utterly random; to the least moments you expect it. Hitting auto play at 1,60 a spin and first spin bonus. Or at your last spin before your balance is back to zero hitting a bonus.

Or buying a bonus and hitting in the 1500x margin. Keeps it fun in a way. But i'm sure the online landscape is altered enough that we can certainly say you'd never get ahead on long term. Excluding the beginners luck.

You know... Angry Bird... that's me.

I overlooked your post completely. For the record:

Ive found this comment some time ago which i published on my website; and i think it's a very interesting subject or topic that streamers barely talk about. I hope your doing OK, and that you found something to relief yourself with from all that gambling.

Even tho as a streamer has zero financial risk or loss, there's 100% a mental aspect of all that gambling, and what it does to the mind and body. I'm surely Rosh can tell us more about it (lol).
