Rbreen and argyl same person lol. Heard it all now.
But I’m the melted “brain” of a conspiracy theorist… we COULD be. Therefore it must be the case.
The big backinamo conspiracy has been brought to it’s knees in this thread.
i feel bad for Argyl though, he may be pretty offended by the accusation. ????
1Look fellas, I’m a newbie but I’ve been reading through this thread and I just wanted to say I think this Argyl geezer speaks a lot of sense. He’s obviously super intelligent, I wouldn’t be surprised if his IQ was around 181. And he clearly knows his stuff about gambling and the laws and regulation and all that. I think you should think about what he says.

Aww nuts, I meant to post this from my other account
Back on topic, for me I’d say the power is with the consumer. In a way there’s nothing wrong with making YouTube videos to promote casinos by showing the games on demo play, or with a casino funded account. It’s not like it changes anything about the games or how they play. Ethically I do think if you do that as opposed to gambling for real with your own money, you should be honest and say it’s what you’re doing, but I don’t think it’s an obligation. Either way for me as the viewer, it’s pretty obvious if you’re promoting shady casinos with shady games, or playing on demo / with funds which aren’t yours. Like Paul says, there are some reactions you just can’t easily fake. So when I spot people like Roshtein, another one we’ve been talking about recently, when I look at how he plays, where he plays, and his reactions, I don’t believe it’s real and I subsequently don’t watch him. I also wouldn’t dream of using any casino he promoted.
I’ve never said there isn’t any shady practice at all in the gambling industry, just that online games under UK licensing and regulation aren’t rigged. Shady practices which definitely do happen in the industry are:
1. Unfair games from unregulated, unscrupulous vendors and casinos outside UK regulation, either with lower RTP than stated or non random results.
2. The use of dubious, deliberately obscured terms and conditions and “small print”, particularly with the use of bonus funds or winnings from bonuses, to delay, limit or void paying out winnings. *When it’s clearly stated in the T&C, I don’t regard this as shady, to be honest as a player you are a fool to not read the terms of any online casino on which you deposit. I do regard it as shady if these terms were not stated, or deliberately obfuscated / made hard to find.
3. Offering high profile affiliates funded accounts which mimic real play, real deposits and real withdrawals, but the affiliate doesn’t actually own the balance or accounts.
4. Backroom deals to do things like promote certain games or offer player incentives on certain games.
5. Encouraging further gambling, ignoring problem gambling patterns or failing to adequately investigate unusual account activity or accepting money believed to be the proceeds of crime, or without passing AML checks.
Do you think you covered everything or did you miss anything out. ?
