Comments Welcome Do you think The Bandit is a fake streamer now?

Bandit hit the 100k subs this week and the special £100k video soon. Who's looking forward to it?

Fingers crossed he knows to switch to USD otherwise half the games won't work and we will be stuck with a Pragmatic and Hacksaw session 😆

He did mention it a few videos back that someone told him to change the base currency to USD, so all games work for him now. Shame he didn't read the dozen + posts in his own forum and realise months sooner 🙄

Its looking that way after watching part 1. I just want to see him play some different games then he normally plays, I wont hold my breath though.

Well pt 2 was certainly far more entertaining than pt 1 lol
 
YouTubeSlots said:
Wow just finished it now, gave me old school bandit video vibes.

Probs his best video of the year.

I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it, but it was like watching one of his old videos again. 😄

I miss the days he didn't exclusively play hacksaw, relax and nolimit...

His part two was nostalgic to me. Glad he seemed to actually enjoy it

He likes those Wild Spawn games.

Two great videos and glad he stuck with what he knew in the end. He would probably lost it all on NoLimit games.

Was hoping for a couple of NetEnt slots on high bet, even old school Microgaming.

Thats what i dont understand, On those crypto sites you have so many providers and games that are not avilable to a lot of people, He needs to play more net ent and microgaming slots in my opinion.

Not to mention that he would also be able to play them at much higher stakes than the £5 that us normal UK players are now restricted to......
 
On one of his earlier vids he asked people which slots to play and he ends up playing the same lot of slots as usual.

I don't know how this gives people old school Bandit vibes or how you're able to say these were great videos. It was the same as usual, just a higher stake.

So many older games available that he in fact used to play when he was only using VS, except Wild Swarm and BOD it was exactly the same as usual. He didn't even throw a Novo in there or Blueprint/Merkur (pretty sure that's available on 500).

Totally agree, I was scanning through most of it. And when you use the Youtube search video preview thing, you can see an image of each part of the video, and all these games he plays now have a very similar look and colour scheme. I would've thought he might have played secret of the stones or something familiar - unless I missed it!?

Some glimmers of the old bandit came through on the swarm game, but he seems different now (mind you I don't watch his videos now, because of the game selection) as though it's all gone to his head, kind of a suped up, vegas style bandit. £100k is a heck of a lot of money to risk on a session, he must be a multi millionaire, yet still doesn't check or show any interest in rtp, just loads a game up and puts on ⚡ speed spins.

Not saying he's not legit, more my naivety about the gambling business - how profitable the streaming or side ventures can be, and then getting lucky on high stakes on games, you can build up money quickly if you get a sustained period of luck.
 
Thought the two video's were great entertainment. I don't think he is a fake streamer as he obviously has plenty of cash. i noticed there were quite a few comments on the youtube video saying its fake money but if you actually think its fake then why are you watching his video's in the first place.

A lot of the dubious streamers on youtube will buy 10k/20k buys every single time whereas for the most part most of his buys generally are around $200..

I'm curious to know what he looks like though, after watching his video's for years it would be nice to have a face to the voice.
 
If you’ve watched his videos for years then you would have seen him. He’s shown his face numerous times!! And on Twitter etc and I believe he’s been in vids on other peoples YouTube.

I used to watch his vids, but the format since he’s been at the crypto sites now holds no interest for me.

While I appreciate it’s technically his money, the fact the casino(s) pay him to put out content or a certain amount of content which by the way he openly admits, just doesn’t feel the same to me.

I know he previously was obviously earning affiliate revenue and still is to this day to fund his gambling and he was no doubt on retainers before. They’re basically giving him money to play with at their sites. Which imo puts him in the same brackets as most of the other cretins that are doing exactly the same.

Not knocking him, if I’d have had his ideas at the beginning and built up a strong following and viewership I’d be doing exactly the same.

But when you’re basically a higher ranked and glorified Chipmunks/craig/Jimbo etc etc the novelty fades away.

I don’t know why but being given money per vid or per series of vids over x amount of months, to me is the same as them crediting your casino account direct and saying ……. Here play with this.

As much as I hated the way ‘some’ affiliates went about their business to garner sign ups, at least it felt like they had to work a bit to build those sign ups.

Like I say I know he did this at the beginning and it’s why he’s in the position he’s in now. But a casino that says have a grand a video or whatever that fee might be, just doesn’t feel the same as watching somebody playing with their hard earnt.

Nothing against him personally, but I rarely watch the same repetitive vids anymore. Especially when you know the money he’s playing with is basically the casinos in question.

I think that there is a lot of speculation about where the money comes from. While he might have a deal, its obviously not a big one as his bet size is not massive. You can also follow the money through his wallet.
When you look at streamers that have "deals" their bet size or bonus buys are huge. His hasnt changed.
Casino's wouldnt pay him that much to be honest.. he only has 100k subscribers which isn't much compared to other streamers.

Its pretty clear that he has made a fuckload of money from being an affiliate for a long time.

I watch his video's for entertainment. The banter and moaning wins it for me

That’s because the morons doing £50k bonus buys are having funds put into their casino accounts for them to spaff. It’s not their own. And doesn’t make any difference whether they win a million or lose a million.

I’m not suggesting he has that ‘deal’ but he’s open about the fact he’s paid for content. Which as I say for me takes the ‘gambling’ aspect out of it.

Only he will know the ins and outs and he’s not gonna divulge that. I don’t blame him either.

How is that any different to most affiliates though? Whether through sign ups, player losses or per video the casino is still paying them.
 
Yes not completely disagreeing with you, but i kind of explained my thoughts on that a few posts back.

They’re all at it now. At least you could say the bandit was originally a gambler in the first place. Not like a lot of these other c**ts, who just peddle anything and take money from anybody who is willing to give it to them.
 
Used to like watching Bandit but feels scammy. Go through and add up all his wins and losses. Complete BS compared to slotting experience of me and friends. Regular bonuses paying 1000x or more multiple times in the same short session. Completely unrealistic.

Golden rule is always the more they play the more they lose...unless you happen to be a streamer or popular youtuber.
 
I must profess to not being able to understand why people want to watch live streams of other people gambling. Different when you are with your friends and mates in a land based environment, but watching slot streamers, I just don't get it.

Would I say that The Bandit is legit, from what I have read he is probably one of the very few that uses his own money. I would say 90% plus of streamers arguably are not legit though.

I watch for work purposes, the only streamer I can watch in my spare time is Trainwreck though.
 
I often wonder where the bandit gets his money from. I find it hard to believe he is making massive money through affiliates. He regularly loses all the money he has. The other day he lost $8k and barely cared about it. Ever since he started betting through the crypto casino's he has been gambling way more money than he did before. Years ago he would bet big on reel king but when he had big losses you could tell it hurt. Nowadays he doesn't seem to give a shit and he regularly tells everyone how he lost 50k on to the moon or vampy party.
 
Because he gets a percentage of a players losses when they go through his links.I would imagine with his popularity and 100s if not 1000's of people being referred by him has made him a millionaire.

That's why he can lose so much and not bat an eye lid, the guy is a millionaire! it's not rocket science, really!

but I do understand that not all people understand affiliation or don't know much about it, therefore would not understand how his stakes have increased so much compared to when he first started.

That's why every other week there's someone online calling him fake or saying there using demo funds.

He's not using any fake funds and it's real cash as crazy as it might seem to people.

I would be surprised if the funds he gets from affiliates would make him that much money to be honest. A lot of casino's he use to spruke are not used as much anymore. His affiliate deals use to be with casino's like Video Slots and Paddys etc.
People don't think its fake money, its more whether he has some deal with the casino's.

Even though they may have signed up in 2012 or whatever to videoslots using his link or code.
He will still be getting regular payments monthly for losses occured no matter how old the player account is.

Until they close the affiliate account because of lack of new sign ups!

Me thinks he gets paid a fee to produce a number of videos per week / month which pays the bulk of his deposits.

he has no affiliates, more like deal £100k plus a month, they pay him to play on BC casino, on other casino he has affiliates, dont forget one click on BC affiliates you get paid $1000 plus 40% of your lost,
he also earn from youtube £10k + pm

Thats exactly what Videoslots did to me. And refused to pay out the balance which was over £300. I argued back and forth with them for weeks to get the money paid out to me eventually. But like you say if your not consistent with sign ups they will close your account eventually.
 
I watch his videos and have for years. The only query I have is over the past year he has hit nigh on 25 max wins...how is that possible???....ive never hit one ever???.....

People are different I guess. I watch two streamers on the regular mainly for the banter. Secondly to see new release slots before I waste my money on them.

Biggest reason to watch them now is to get a feel for a slot before playing it yourself. That said 99% of new slots are regurgitated garbage so it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack for anything good.
 
Live streamers are how I got into gambling. Ive now come to the realization that most of the slot streamers are playing with fake money, (not singling out anyone particular here). Wish that I would have known that when I got into gambling.

They either use fake money or heavily subsidised money. There is no reason to believe that they are using anything but legit slots (the same ones as you and I spin) so your experience should be similar, albeit at lower stakes (probably).

Why is it that you regret getting into gambling after watching streamers?

Your figures are way off. He wouldn''t get 1k plus 40%. Its nothing like that amount. He has affiliate deals with his previous casino's however a lot of people wouldn't be using those casino's anymore as a lot have switched to crypto. I suspect he made a shit load of money from the previous affiliate arrangements. He makes about $500 per video on youtube but he normally loses a lot more than that.

He does have a deal with BC Game and has admitted that, I suspect he is a heavy gambler and has some massive wins. He has shown his trips to vegas where he has monster slot wins so he clearly has plenty of cash.
 
I see Bandit has passed through Level 1200 this week, so his Rolex is in the post. IIRC he said he would give it away to a member on YouTube when he got it.

Surprisingly he has accumulated over 1 BILLION experience points in the last 48 hours, thats a hell of a lot of wagering so I hope he has a decent video on the way today or the weekend. He is currently the second biggest player on the 500 site this week!
 
Based on his wagering he must just play the slots all day. I don't want to sound rude but years ago he mentioned he had kids etc and its like he lives a different life now. I'm not suggesting that he has ditched them or anything but its either trips away, golf or the slots. One would hope that he has something more to live for than just his slotting.

I guess a lot of it is bonus buys which allows far greater wagering to be achieved. Especially when he's quick spinning fire in the hole 3 at $800 a pop

So I’ve just got his latest video on in the background (Sunday’s) and he mentioned he’d just received the Rolex. He was a bit disappointed that it looked like an “old man’s” watch, and the bracelet wasn’t big enough to get over his hand! Sounds a tad sus. No luxury watch maker packages watches in one size only without extra links (surely, as I haven’t purchased every brand of watch 🤣).

Overall it sounded like a bit of a fail.

I am 6.5" Bandit says he's 6.6". I have large hands and can tell you some watches won't go over them, the straps always come maxed, you take links out to make them tighter (I have a watch repair kit at home and have done this on family members' watches for them).

The problem is that bracelet watches with a folding clasp or closed links (not buckle ones) often need links taking out for tightness on the wrist, but this reduces the circumference and may not go over the hand afterwards.

I think I know which model Rolex he has, it's the cheapest one you can get and it doesn't look that good compared to most.

Rolex limit supply unlike other equally good brands like Omega so prices are artifically high, it's like buying a pair of Adidias tennis shoes for £100 and Nike selling you an almost indentical pair with the same manufacturing materials and style for £180.
