@Stevejgreat job mate. I must say I kinda laughed seeing that Yggdrassil bonus. I've played that game a while back for a few hundred spins and have seen maybe 1 diamond the whole time.
If this guy is indeed a celeb of some sort with a lot of watchers, that would make quite a show to watch. Maybe even deposit afterwards... You could say it's pure luck but I totally agree that it is suspicious to say the least.
People need to understand one thing about streamers. They do provide you with entertainment, but everything you're seeing on their streams are meant to get you, the viewer, to spend money. Be it the chair their using which they get for free, the video card or computer they're using and promoting or the casino they're playing at. Streams, nowdays are a part of a very lucrative industry of free or near free advertising and a great platform for providers to make money. They don't need to invest millions in commercials, they don't need to get the right celeb in and hire the best content creator to come up with a super appealing commercial. Advertising on Twitch or YT does cost and streamers do get paid quite a bit, but I would say substantially less than TV.
They have
infinite airtime,
millions of watchers with
super high rating and
thousands of agents (streamers) working for them. Problem is that conversion rate is much lower as they can't manipulate every second of the broadcast - so they need to adapt and find creative ways of getting you, the viewer's attention and ultimately, money. I think rigging RTP is just one means of doing so, maybe a bit more creative and extreme but it definitely falls in the category of "false advertisement" which we see from time to time on any other media.
Again, there are many streamers I enjoy watching and I think are 100% legit. However, this growing industry will lead to these kinds of advertisements and product manipulation due to the low cost of advertising and high appeal. It only makes sense that an industry so driven by money (in fact
require deposits to stay alive) as gambling will come to these "creative" solutions faster than other industries.
