I believe that every player who decides to gamble online should have the same chance of winning and/or making a withdrawal as the next player - a level playing field so to say. However, looking at recent YouTube videos and the increasing number of streamers, if you are an affiliate you get several advantages...
1. You get 100% bonus (no risk parachute bonus) on nearly every deposit - this effectively doubles the chance of winning (Majority of streaming/video affiliates get this)
2. Increased maximum bet on slots - when combined with the above, gives you the chance of bigger wins (Around half of streaming/video affiliates get this)
3. Allowed to play restricted games - which takes advantage of slots with higher RTP like DoA, 1429 Uncharted Seas (Few streaming/video affiliates receive this, mostly non-MGA/UKGC casinos)
On top of this, because of the increased turnover on the player's account from 1. and 2. above, they receive higher cashback/free spins/rewards (weekend booster / Wheel of Rizk / Casumo rewards / Calzone Tokens etc)
It was also pointed out the other day (by Dunover IIRC) that streamers show an unrealistic view of what is achievable and may break current ASA rules. When you open a video on YouTube they will often say I have deposited 300 pounds and got a 300 pound bonus - anyone unfamiliar with affiliate terms may think they will receive the same on every deposit.
This thread/poll is not attacking any individual casino streamer or YouTube affiliate, just something which I want to see how others on Casinomeister feel. After all, wouldn't we all like to receive a second chance parachute bonus once our deposit runs dry?
