YouTube - they did it again. Banning Slot Reviews

My point is a platform owner retains the right to determine what content can and will be hosted and distributed on their platform. For example casinomeister forbid the hosting of certain types of content on their website and that is perfectly acceptable. If you don't like it you can always go elsewhere right?

Nobody is stopping anyone making videos. Just certain content creators are no longer welcome on certain platforms. No big deal. Go find another platform or build your own.
Don't be an inverted snob, Youtube are trying to make people think like they do in the example I gave above they will put warnings on any video that denies climate change if that isn't political and saying you agree with how we think or don't post videos is an example of where we are heading, heading towards a left wing thinkign agenda where only certain views are acceptable.
 
Youtube is losing the plot they are now going to put warnings under any video which denies the existent of climate change. So anyone who disagrees with climate change gets their video entry interfered with a warning.

So that is why Dunover has had his channel removed, his multiple, musical and I suspect noxious bottom burps are damaging the ozone resulting in climate change! :eek::D:p:thumbsup:
 
This group of "ex-gamblers on a mission" has been invading Twitch channels too, last week someone was posting private information of a streamer and his family in the chat and spamming all users with private messages... I'm fine that everyone has his own opinion but it's hard to take people serious who act so silly, not only in discussions about gambling btw...
 
You Tube have no problem showing new born child rape in films like "A Serbian Film" on there, aswell as all the video nasties from the 80s etc...nutty leftists have all their priorities wrong.
 
Been away a few weeks and catching up on recent events. Pissed to hear that Dunover and NickSlots have been taken down, hopefully only temporary.

Many of these complainers who are going round causing trouble are from the UK. They are ex-gamblers who are trying to ruin the fun for everyone else. Being a moderator at the other place, I can see the IPs / e-mail addresses of those posting the constant threads about streamers and banning them. I know exactly who they are because the same people e-mail me asking for a refund because they have signed up to a new casino who aren't part of GamStop.

Most annoying are these scam live 24x7 streams on YouTube promoting unlicensed clip-joints by stealing other videos and rebroadcasting them.

I wasn't blaming Youtube, I was blaming selfish jackasses who believe that since it's not good for them no one can have it. That's no different than asking the city council to close the bar down the street because you're an alcoholic.
 
What had the world come to when you can't watch some one have a gamble and the links who cares about them if you dnt click and sign up dnt hurt ya does it I watched them all never once used any links to sign up and never would I just like to watch especially dazza he makes me laff :)
 
Oh trust me they're going after Vimeo and Twitch too. Vimeo already flagging gambling content providers (as I found out) and it's a grey area on Twatch to say the least. This is why we need a dedicated gambling video server.
 
Not read the whole thread but caught the basics of whats going / gone on.

Has pretty much all gambling or slots content been hammered?

Reason I ask is although I can no longer be bothered with recording my play (who wants to watch 20p and 30p bet videos these days :oops:) and hence not uploaded in a while, my channel and all content is still readily available.

Actually watched one or two of my own vids through, nice reminder of the "pre-rigged" days :p :rolleyes:

The problem you have Dunover is whichever site you move to they will find out and do the same, if you move to a quiet site no one will no you are there and you will get no viewers, I have been in this situation and Youtube is the only place you can get decent views to make posting worthwhile.

Good concept but with a limited market which may not make it viable plus regulation on what is allowed not allowed especially in the UK when it comes to promoting gambling ... it would need to include wider arena such as gamers ... = twitch rinse and repeat ... the tech is all out there for someone who does not want to build such a site from the ground up. We are working with highly customable Live cam/chat software which with the right mods is basically a tube site. But would take much planning aside from legalities.
 
I just thought I would look up to see if there was a site called gambletube [no space], as you never know what's on the web, but most of the results just took me to pages involving somebody called seth gamble or kodi gamble :xxx: two people I've never heard of. Makes you wonder about all this action to restrict free speech and gambling, and this other 'stuff' which youngsters are more inclined to look up and be affected by is only a few clicks away.

I think it's down to whether or not the channel is affiliated. The beef seems to be with folks who are effectively using YouTube as an advertising platform and making money off players who go on to lose, having seen the 'promotion' of gambling via the channel.

Please note I'm not saying I support what's going on, but that's my read of it.

A few years back they removed even banal slot reviews on demo modes, that formed part of affiliate site content with no direct links. Ask Simmo and some others here!

Seen exact similar with vaping channels. Vaping has come under the hammer thanks to the FDA and is seen as bad, with tax dollars being taken away. Similar with iGaming in the states.
 
ok this banning bs on YT sucks big time and its totally unfair, we all love Dunover videos, so maybe its time to make your own platform for casino streamers where they can post videos,links etc? to copy some of staff from yt platform or twitch, and with rules that are normal?
 
Oh I understand that. I just find the decision to remove every single video from his channel to be a little strange. Especially as he uploaded an hour long video as recently as yesterday evening. As well as that, in one of his more recent vids, he started by responding to questions from his numerous subscribers regarding the relative lack of uploads he has done recently. The reason he gave was something along the lines of "he was trying to lie relatively low in order to avoid the attention of YT". He is clearly acutely aware of the recent ban on The Bandit and is presumeably trying to avoid the same fate. The guy has nearly 10,000 subscribers...and not one video.

If he is really THAT concerned about a YT ban, why would he upload a video one day, then remove it (and nearly another 200) the next day?
Seems a bit of an OTT pre-emptive precautionery strike of sorts. Surely he'd have been better off having a "business as usual" attitude and if he gets banned, then it's simply a case of que sera sera?



Haha of course not. YT might be pathetic, but they aren't that pathetic.



I have noticed that The Bandit has had no such issues since joining Vimeo.
But then again, I think he is on a "premium business" package, so they might not want to mess him about.
Perhaps their attitude adjusts according to how much you're prepared to pay them?

Craig stated on Twitch that he has set his Youtube to private, so the videos are hidden while the banning storm dies down so to speak. He said he'll try putting content again on YT in September.

Ah OK that makes a lot more sense. I hope that move pays off for him. Cheers Dave. :thumbsup:
 
If I was trying to piss the streamers off I would just report all the videos to the ASA to pretty much force the casinos to close the affiliate accounts. That would do more harm to them than just reporting the channels. I don't think I've seen a single one that is compliant with the CAP guidelines.

@dunover could you not use something like
You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.
or just host the videos on a domain/server yourself? Downside is obviously you would have to do SEO rather than just people searching youtube.

Yes, 1200USD per year! The free version only allows 3 videos a month. To pay about £1k per year to upload mainly non-revenue earning review videos is unworkable, but thanks anyway.

As for the server, yes I could but I'd need to sort something out with my host. The space would mount up very quickly.
 
wow! Thats more than I thought!
And then there's only 200MB bandwidth a month with the free version, so that would be about 200 views on one of my 90-minute moanfests, whereas on YT I had 2-10,000 per video. Even on the 1200USD version once I have gone over 10 videos in storage (I had over 800 on YT) I pay 25c per month for each one over. So to get the equivalent of YT I would be paying 99USD per month plus another 200 per month, so 3600USD per year!
