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

[ritae]

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

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.

He was playing on 40p??

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.

Definitely not a fake streamer. Makes a lot from affiliate links. Enjoyed the subscriber special videos - back to what he was liked for initially.

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......

 

[sufferinsilence]

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

 

[satchnz]

I’ve watched both parts now. Entertaining session. But…

I get abusing the slots and calling them all names under the sun when losing. I do that. But the forced, over the top abuse when winning was just a bit much for me. Cringy.

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.

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

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.

 

[DavidShush]

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.

 

[Webzcas]

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.
