YouTube banning gambling/casino streams and channels?

I would argue that big win highlights are more dangerous for a gambling addict (who shouldn't be watching any gambling material in the first place) as they don't show the reality of gambling, and that is that you more often than not don't have such wins. At least with live streams you see what playing online is all about - more losing than winning spins and sessions.

If anything, I would hazard a guess that a big win video will prompt an addict to put yet another deposit in he can ill afford to lose rather than watching a streamer lose money during a 3 hour stream.

yeah i agree with you in part that someone could watch a channel featuring just big wins could be swayed, i mean for me just pre recorded like dazza g or bandit where you see features etc win or lose, personally i dont watch any gambling streams on youtube as most of them the comments are a cesspit thats what i was getting at rather than any gambling problem implications.

Interesting what you say about big win videos.  Do you think then that Casinogrounds shouldn't have "streamers biggest wins" videos that they put up because its more likely to effect a problem gambler and encourage them to deposit and play?

Big win videos are big win videos, irrespective who produces them and that includes Casinogrounds but also my Youtube channel.

But, as I said, the crux of the matter is that problem gamblers should not be watching ANY gambling material on the internet. I have consistently said this throughout a variety of topics here on the forum.

@Arcade_Pusher even with affiliation you see a lot of streamers on break. Sometimes its just REALLY bad and you're forced to stop playing. I myself have been VERY lucky, but not everyone is. Personally having kids as well, if I can't afford I will stop. Was running really bad a couple of weeks ago, but was lucky and had a good chunk of winnings. Thats how this business is, up & down.. Compared to "normal" affiliation (links only etc.), streamers risk a hell of a lot more than others.

Update: More streamers including Nickslots and Slotspinner have also recieved bans. I feel we're getting mixed messaged all the time of what's allowed and what's not all the time... Still no clear reasoning to why they are doing this.

I'm not really following, correct me if I'm wrong but you got unbanned and then you want to know how to avoid getting banned again? I'm not really sure why some get banned, some unbanned and some don't get the ban lifted.

I interviewed over Skype yesterday an owner of a slots channel that was canned by YouTube at the end of last week. Just waiting for approval from an admin or mod if I am allowed to post it here.

It has received a lot of negative comments from individuals who are glad to see the back of streaming and slot channels on YouTube.

I am absolutely pissed off at all these crappy celebrity stuff programmes that they make and have on youtube but you know what I do,I just don't watch them.The same thing applies to people who don't like slot channels,simply don't watch them. Morons at google/youtube and their phoney moralising.

Thanks for sharing.

At this point I have no further update on what's going on, will keep you posted when I do.

The whole issue is that streamers direct or indirect promote gambling. Gambling is addiction sensitive so streaming it is morally wrong. Hence youtube is banning and rightfully so imo. Telling people to not watch or don't do it wont work. If it where that simple the world would have been a far better place.

None of the streamers out there make there viewers aware of the extreme risks gambling brings with it. Instead they promote it through signup links with a bonus. Unless you streamers drastically change your ways i vote for a ban on all of them including twitch.

Yet youtube regular allows violence upon people in it's videos without blinking an eye all over it's platform? I'd say those are a much bigger threat to a person's help than gambling at online casinos. You seem to have your priorities as skewed as youtube does.

What medication are you taking as you seem to be so misguided that you are just trolling the site now. Streamers make no secret of the fact that they get a small commission from new sign ups to their casinos and we are happy to help that.They are also very helpful when things go wrong as they can help as a direct link to the casino. I am guessing you may feel this hatred because you have a gambling problem and are turning your self hate outwards towards other people rather than dealing with your own problem. These channels are all for over 18s and speaking personally as a very mature adult,I hate it when I don't have a choice and are told what to do, as is happening here.

Well lets see, is gambling addiction on the rise ? Yes it is, is faster growing then other addictions ? Yes, now these are facts, then we should look at why . I don’t know how the rest of Europe looks like in advertising, but in Sweden 40-50% of all adverts in radio and tv are casino related! On top of that , we have these so called streamers, streamers are hard to define, they say they work almost full time with there channels, how much they earn is a secret.. and they all say they only play for fun and are kind to put on a free show for us. 

There’s even streamers taking donations, on top of the commission they get from there casinos, also getting paybacks from twitch , YouTube. What I hate is the fact that they aren’t transparent.  My guess is that the most popular streamers make a lot of money, but if they would come forward and say so they are afraid people would get mad. Instead they make it worse and acts like they are only doing this as a hobby , cause making money of others misfortune is a real ugly business.
