You’d need Bezos level money to spin £1000+since hes a twitch partner and one of the top streamers over the yrs, one thing is certain hes actually rich unlike the rest
Most, if not all, high rollers don't stream their play on Twitch. They gamble from from the privacy of their home without an audience.I'm no expert on the subject but here's my take... Was mentioned above that he's a big streamer and Twitch partner, and has been for a while. He's fairly new to streaming slots I believe. I assume he streamed mostly FPS before slots. Before I discovered online slots at all (the good old days ?) I watched some COD / Warzone steaming here and there. One of the first times I watched a Warzone stream I remember being AMAZED at the amount of donations (straight cash) being handed out (and the dude I was watching had ~2k viewers tops, Trainwreck often has ~30k. There's also a shit ton of cheering with bits, and of course subs / gifted subs. He's also got at least a G-Fuel affiliate code off the top of my head, I'm sure there's more. I don't know exactly what kind of income this adds up to, but I imagine it's not a small number. I've watched the guy...my thoughts: he has $$$. He seems genuine and genuinely addicted, talks about being stuck 6 figures...he's mentioned still being stuck immediately after million plus hits, he often emphatically tells his viewers "DO NOT GAMBLE YOU WILL LOSE" (again, even right after huge hits).
I also can't think of any logical reason to make those Tweets if he didn't play with his own money.
I'm not gonna sit here and tell anyone that I know that he or any of them are real or fake, but there are people out there with $$$ and can/do make these wagers somewhere in the privacy of their own homes, and probably don't wanna brag about it. I don't know the guy's life story or net worth, but it's not inconceivable that he meets that criteria and just happened to stumble onto a gambling problem while already being a successful Twitch streamer. ??
I'm warming to himSeems to moan every stream about the world, how liberal it is
Your first point...I said in my post, nearly verbatim. And the 'where does his money come from'...did you read my post at all?? On top of what I mentioned already regarding that...successful people's money comes from all sorts of places. Do I know or feel any need to know what his possible revenue streams are, other than the few that have been mentioned (which are by no means peanuts)?...nope.Most, if not all, high rollers don't stream their play on Twitch.

There is one and one purpose only him streaming his slot play on Twitch and that is to advertise the casinos. Simple as. And with that then comes the question where the money that he plays with comes from........

Let's say I'm stopped at a red light and a Bugatti Chiron pulls up next me.
Can I afford a $3,000,000 car, or possibly imagine what it's like to be able to do so? No shot. Would I question where the dude got the money for it? In the sense of, "Wanna share your secrets for success or whatever?"...sure. But do I need to see his tax returns to prove he can afford it? His license and registration to prove he didn't steal it? The serial number on the car to prove that it's real and not a kit car? No, no, and, no. Am I admiring the show (gawking at the car)? Absolutely.
There's 2 points here. There are (plenty of) people out there with different degrees of wealth that you or I can't imagine, with all sorts of life stories that got them to said wealth. Could be born into it. Could stumble upon it...
<Shit I just thought of an example...I've played poker, semi-regularly for 15+ years. In the poker room at the casino I play at regularly, there's a younger guy that frequently walks around in pink fuzzy bunny pajamas (literally), without a care in the world, and plays at the highest limit tables going on any given day, most days / everyday too. I don't know him personally, but a few of the other regs that play at us normal people stakes do... How does he afford to play 10/10 NL ++ every day? He threw some money into Bitcoin in its infancy (or close).>
/Tangent lol
Anyway...2nd point:
Who cares?
It's not inconceivable that Train and/or others are using real money. If you enjoy their content and think/assume it's real, then it's something enjoyable for you to watch in your spare time. If you think it's fake / smoke and mirrors or whatever, why waste your energy thinking about it?
My 2 cents
Does it for his own benefit...yup, capitalism at its finest. I mentioned in my first post that I've heard him emphatically say to viewers "DO NOT GAMBLE, YOU WILL LOSE MONEY. YOU WILL HATE LIFE." Etc etc multiple times...and I've probably watched his channel 5 times at most.Bottom line is that he does it for his own benefit. The casinos are using him as a marketing tool for which he gets paid. He doesn't risk any of his own money, in my opinion, which is not the reality of gambling.
We take those points, especially the latter one. The problem is that he's been earning money promoting gambling, even worse at dodgy operators then proceeds to decry the industry (probably having finally seen the penny drop about the maths of the games to his own cost!) which he was hitherto encouraging viewers to participate in.Does it for his own benefit...yup, capitalism at its finest.

I should also mention I've never seen an affiliation code for a casino on his channel, which I know Twitch banned...but can't recall him ever mentioning to join any discord server, which is how all the others are getting around all that.
My opinion...his emotions seem real. Could it be "fake", or at least < 100% risk to him, I'm sure it's easy enough to pull off. But either way, why the hate? If you don't like him so much, don't waste your energy on it. For argument's sake let's say he is fake. What that amounts to is nothing more than a shady, albeit legal, business practice. I can think of much more egregious offenders...Google comes to mind ??.
Anyway...who cares? ??
Cheers
He seems genuine and genuinely addicted
Lmfao. Sounds more like a bad loser on losing streak. I was like this once (edit) sometimes still am lol). And trust me I lost a lot, my winnings are nothing compared to my losses over the years. When slots are cold some people can stop and go do something else instead. Maybe for a week or a month or a day, whatever. Unfortunately most people can't do this if they could there wouldn't be a gambling industry to begin with. Many win, way way more people lose. BTW I myself am still one of the guys who doesn't stop when slots are cold, but I take my losses now. It's called gambling.. it's literally in the name.Arguably the biggest streamer right now just called everyone out live on Twitter. Crazy, I hope he goes further into any fake deals some people have.
