very quick and simple.

Just hope i have enough storage space for them all.

Good luck, but if this week has taught us anything, its that it may not be worth wasting anymore time dropping more slots content onto Youtube.

I don't think it matters what you use to upload your videos, Youtube will be looking at the content within your videos.

Is it just affy channels that are going?

I just noticed that BigWinPictures had their channel suspended as well.

Hopefully they kept a backup of their videos and can get them online again somewhere else.

Yes they suspend our account today also. First two warnings last weekend and today third and account closed. Luckily we kept a backup of our videos, so it takes few days but we will get them all back online one by one.

That's too bad. Amazed you got some warnings.

I don't know if it is just affy accounts, it sounds like they are doing a full clear out.

Which videos got the warning?

Which videos got the warning?

Medusa II Slot - 45 Free Spins
Sultan's Gold Slot - Free Games With Mystery Scatter + Re-Trigger
Mount Olympus Slot - 4 Reels Full Of Wilds During Free Games


So totally random videos IMO. Those are just like 650 of our other videos.

Did you have links on your videos to sites as i dont think thats allowed. ie annotation links out of youtube?

Yes we had annotation link to our site embeded at the end of every video.

Just checked through a load of non affy pages and they all still up??

vegas low roller, casino wins by blueheart, kbr420 channels are still up with tons of videos recorded in landbased casinos, and so the WMS channel.
neither of them have affiliate links so this may be the problem.

There are tools out there that can handle partial or entire playlists in one go which should ease the pain. For example, I've used youtube-dl in the past with great success. The project -

It does take a couple of minutes to understand the syntax (as there are many options), but -F (available formats), -f (selection format) and --write-description (creates a .description file with the description) are your friend.

* Disclosure: I have no affiliation with the project

My next (work in progress) project is a video sharing site for gambling videos (hosted in a safe country so no possibility of takedowns, regular backups etc) I have the ability to backup peoples videos if they send me the playlist urls.

RE - your sig: Looks good. Is this video hosting software something you've developed, or is this available for download from somewhere?

It's one of many Youtube clone scripts out there. This one in particular can be bought from

Thanks! I'm just wondering how stable this is - if it's prone to hacking. The most important thing to consider is whether or not it's supported and is proactive with updating security fixes.

I noticed you started using Vimeo instead now that the Youtube channel was closed down.

Just wanted to give you a heads up that Vimeo does not accept gambling related content just in case you missed that earlier in the thread.

Wouldn't want you going through all the trouble of uploading the videos on Vimeo just to have them removed from there as well.

As the other poster said it's phpvibe, most installations just use youtube to supply the content (don't actually host any videos) but I'm going to rely on user submissions so I'm not reliant on youtube at all.
As far as I know it's very secure (haven't heard of any vulnerabilities)

Had a warning for Video with title like this: Untamed Wolf Pack Slot - Freespin Feature - Mega Big Win (600x Bet) ....with a link to my Untamed Wolf Pack Slot Review. Totaly random. But no more warning since that.

The problem is that they are just firing out random warnings. Users are having to speculate why some slot videos are OK, and others not, because Youtube refuse to offer clear guidance. It seems they do NOT intend owners of slot channels to render them compliant with an updated set of terms, they want them gone, and are manipulating their warning systems to engineer a "three strikes" situation so fast that channel administrators don't get the chance to react to the warnings in order to prevent their channel being deleted.

I do not believe for one minute that there have been tens of thousands of users who have noted the new terms, and all collectively said "Hey, lets go and report a load of slot videos as inappropriate tonight".
