you really need to get into casino affiliation to make money from slots

i heard that whenever someone signs up to a site from one of bandits links he gets 25% of their losses which explains how he can afford to gamble so high stakes

You will now get all of his disciples ranting at you that you are talking shit.   And he will tell you he makes no money from affilation, just a one off payment.   His 12 trusty disciples will then tell you it’s because he wins so much – while telling everyone else that you will always lose if you gamble – no conflict there ay?

But when he first started streaming he had to take up affiliation as 60p spins was costing him too much and he couldn’t afford it,  and he tells tales of walking home in the rain with no money as he had lost everything

Move on a few years, he is doing £40 spins, gambling £75k at time, was doing £2000 buys in on bonus buys and was doing sign up raffles before he decided he would rather keep the cash himself.

I call bullshit on this guys claims that he makes no money from affiliation – it’s a nasty seedy little business for people with no moral compass. and I would rather set light to a £50 note than give it to an affiliate, but he seems to have made a packet out of it, along with last year pushing an online sports betting app.   He tries to portray himself as some sort of affiliate saint, but at one point was pushing 8 casino’s and a sports betting app.

PS:  To the bandits fanboys – rant away, I don’t give a shit, most of you are perennial losers who seem to live on here when you are aren’t worshipping in your own little bandit temples that you have built in your front rooms

I have self excluded from my local arcade at the start of the year and now find myself set up elsewhere just with a little further travel, again this needs to stop.

Well done on starting the journey, and don’t make my initial mistake – I barred from all my local bookies within 10 miles, then found bookies in 15 miles, banned all them, and then moved further afield until I was doing 50 mile round trip to get my fix.

The internet is a wonderful thing and I ended up searching on there for every possible alternative, and now it would take me nearly 2 hours to get there and back from a bookies – I’m never that desperate.

And as I say, now that I can’t gamble, I don’t feel like gambling – with the removal of temptation the urge has gone.

As to Bet Victor contacting your mum after your funds had run out, they were probably checking to see if they could squeeze any more blood out of the stone – casino’s don’t like you having money in your account which could be in theres 🙂

For what it’s worth there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Years ago I was in a similar position although back then blackjack was my poison. What started with £1 hands as a bit of fun in uni/between lectures became over a month’s wages (per hand) within a short period once I was working, Typically I’d win a decent amount over a few weeks/months then do my brains in a matter of hours. I used to think there was something wrong with me as all my friends were getting on in life, careers etc. and there I was using gambling to supplement my income for the crappy job I had. Fortunately I think I made myself so sick of blackjack I eventually kicked it into touch, it would occasionally rear it’s head and I might lose a few hundred but thankfully it didn’t excite me in the same way anymore.

Years later I was made redundant and shortly after my father died. Because my mother had health conditions I became an unpaid carer as it wouldn’t have been practical for me to work around her various medical appointments. This was very much sink or swim for me as I had significant debts from some shares went tits up. It was at this point that I got into heavily matched betting, specifically focussing on slots and over 2.5yrs later I’ve taken well over £100k from the casinos without a losing month (I play slots everyday). This is by no means a brag, as during this time I’ve learned a lot about myself and my attitude to gambling, therefore my takeaways are as follows:-

1. If you have a history of chasing losses, gambling more than you can afford to lose and feeling hopeless and sick about it YOU HAVE A GAMBLING PROBLEM. It will never go away, it’s the the way your brain is wired so just accept it. I also have one, I just control it.

2. Identify your ’tilts’, this will be different for everyone but personally I always lost the most money when in a relaxed state of mind (playing on my phone/watching TV etc.), so identify the situations where a tilt is likely and avoid that situation. So if you get tilted playing pub fruit machines, leave the debit card at home etc. You’ll save a lot in the long run. Our brains comprise logic and emotion, if you put yourself in a position where the barriers to emotion are reduced, e.g. relaxed, under influence of alcohol etc. you’re more likely to lose money as it’s only when emotion leaves and logic kicks in will you kick yourself for the damage that emotion did.

3. Never gamble with expectation of winning. Having done this nearly 3yrs as a primary source of income ALL my big wins have been unexpected and any losses are always when playing with expectation. If you do gamble, need to scratch that itch, set a budget, have no expectation and you won’t be disappointed.

4. Find something to be passionate about and focus your energy/finances on that. If you add up all the time, stress, and money wasted chasing losses that’s you’ll find it would always be better spent elsewhere. Start a business or side gig for example, focus your energy on earning rather than hoping for a financial boost.

Hope that helps, I’m by no means gamblers anonymous as these are merely my observations on the subject. If you need any help drop me a message.

I know you mean well and a lot of your advice is sound, but highlighting to an addicted gambler who has been offered a place in a residential home for therapy how much you have won on slots over the past few years is not to my mind helpful, neither is advising him to gamble but set himself a budget.  He is clearly way past this and not in a mindset where he is able to set a budget.

The answer to the OP should not be, gamble within your means or gamble professionally, it should be DO NOT GAMBLE at all.

Well done on your approach however and congratulations on finding a way to make a bit of money out of it

would also recommend you order a new card and scratch off the security code on the back so you cant  gamble online.

Good luck ordering stuff online :-).   You don’t even have to ring your bank to block gambling transactions with many of the banks now.  You can do it on the online app, and you can’t unblock it yourself.    You have to ring the bank and then wait 48 hours, this is a great move, as it takes away the sudden urges.  Once your card is blocked you can’t gamble online anyway, security code or not.   Even Bolivian Big Win Casino can’t take deposits, gamban registered or not.

I am astounded that your mother doesn’t see all the stuff going in and out of her account, if someone put only £100 in my account I would wonder where it came from.

Only 5 years ago we are were at the mercy of our addictions but now help is here.  You can use Gamstop/Gamban to stop online gambling.  You can self exclude from every bookies in as wide a radius as you want with one phone call.  You can fill out a form at any arcade for self exclusion.   Credit Card gambling is now being banned, and you can stop all gambling transactions on your bank account with a simple button online, suggest you do this with your mothers card and any other you have access to.   If you do all of that and can still find a way to gamble you are a better man than me gunga din.   Once you have no way of accessing gambling you will be amazed at how quickly the urges disappear

ignore the streamers big wins, many of them are not using their own money or carrying out selective editing,   If you want to see realism look at the Bandit losing £75k in one session, or read hypalinks end of year blogs where he lists h is losses over 12 months.   If ever website had a big losses and as well as a big wins page, i’m sure the losses would outweigh the wins.

40 is not old, 5 years down the line you will have paid off your loans and can start afresh, or you can carry on as you are and post the same thing here in 20 years.   It’s your choice, but you have to want it and you have to commit to it.J  ust take your current position as a final warning, move on and remember you get one life, there are no second chances, or do-overs,     Sort your shit out or end up in 30 years as one of those sad old guys with holes in their shoes in the bookies, screaming at the TV screen because you have bet the last £5 of your pension on a 3 legged donkey.

And don’t worry about living alone, women are more expensive than slots :-).

Condolences, you know they are going to pass on eventually but it’s never easy.   But we can’t hang on to them for our own selfish reasons because we love them.   14 years is a good innings, and just treasure the times you had with him, and the fact that you were there with him at the end and he died in the arms of someone he loved and who loved him

i dont now if this is old news or not but just putting this info out there

Videoslots Casino would like to remind our UK players that from Tuesday the 14th of April, players residing in the UK will no longer be able to use credit cards as a payment option. This is being done to reflect the latest changes in the UKGC regulations.

Excellent news for may and long overdue – The UKGC should now look at how the casino’s are interpreting the regulations on affordability checks.

Now I’m pretty sure that a casino allowing a self excluded play to access,deposit and play on their account is probably frowned upon regardless if it is a system error…

 

Email them and tell them you are providing your details to the UK gambling commission to investigate regulatory shortcomings – they will love that 🙂

In order for us to consider using the information you give us to explore whether it highlighted shortcomings with a company’s procedures we would need you to provide us with your permission to share your details with the company. You will also need to tell us:  

When you entered into the self-exclusion agreement
How you let company know you wanted to self-exclude
What the company provided to confirm that the self-exclusion was in place
The period you self-excluded for
The dates you were able to gamble even though you believed you had a self-exclusion agreement in place
Details of any contact you have had with the company since you gambled with them. 

We will use any information provided to consider regulatory compliance.  However, we are not a complaints handling body and we are unable to obtain a refund of any money you have spent gambling.

Hi. No update. They emailed me saying I would be refunded the deposit which I was   But still no winnings. I can see the withdrawl still processing. Have tried emails to the customer support with the questions you guys suggested and they’ve sent back generic replies or just repeating. Haven’t actually had any acknowledgment about it all really. Giving it till Monday then I’ll see what I can do next if anything

If they have refunded your deposit it seems pretty clear that is the end of it as far as they are concerned.   They would not do that if they had any intention at all of paying you out your winnings.

There is no point contacting casinomeister – see below from their website

888.com has a policy to not have any contact with Casinomeister concerning player issues. We have a No Can Do policy with these guys. So, play here at your own risk.

Just remember to not expect to make money. If you were going to play anyway then go for it, there’s no harm in it.

Good luck ? single slotting new games as they launch and get them uploaded quickly will get decent views ?

Plus the new games always seem to win until they get popular, especially the BTG, where after a month or two most of  2,000,000x wins (normally won by Nickslots) suddenly disappear

Funnily enough, Mrs Xbob has discovered this fun game as well. I wouldn’t mind but we can’t afford it and some of it is strange ? I’m up with baby Xbob as soon as it starts to get light so I have to deal with post ??

I have a wide selection of items I never knew I actually needed until I found this new hobby, and am still not sure I need – when the charity shop opens again they will be inundated with my crap 🙂

hey guys. been a long time slot player. every so often i go abit nuts decide to give myself a breakand so i self exclude and let it calm down for abit. currently 4 month into self exclusion online. normally il pop to the bookies and stick a few bets on or stick 30 quid on terminals but with the lockdown i cant even do that.

finding myself really wanting to play some slots (even free play is fine). but every site i try requires you to sign in before playing even free play. and i cant do that with the exclusion.

 

anyone know where i can play some free play slots ?

or ways around gamstop i guess?

 

I have no doubt you can find a way around Gamstop but I wouldn’t bother, any Casino you manage to find will have a Bolivian licence, offer you a £10,000 bonus and then disappear with your deposit and any winnings you may have managed to get.   It’s a commitment between  you and the gaming industry and as soon as you circumnavigate it, all bets are off as they say in Snatch.  I would just stick to watching streamers online

Since the bookies have closed I have found a new hobby, which is much more fun.  Buying stuff online with the money I used  to waste in the bookies and waiting for the postman each morning 🙂

There’s just a very little amount of streamers, proberly counted on one hand, that have a certein legitimacy. The rest of the streamers is out to lure you in due to affiliating. Casino’s are giving out prepared accounts to make it look more fruitier then that it really is. You’ll understand that over time.

There are casino’s that I believe put cash in to players accounts to enable them to play, I’ve never seen Gabriel slots make a deposit or withdrawal in his life, and when one of the other streamers offered £300 to charity if he would, he just blocked all the streamers messages and anyone else who referred to it :-).  I assume he is on some sort of salary from the casino concerned?

But I don’t think Casino’s are providing specially prepared accounts to make it look fruitier, they don’t need to.  They have a house edge and millions of addicted gamblers who are now sat at home 7 days a week with nothing to do, a debit card and an itchy slot finger

My advice – do not start doing this thinking you’re going to make money. The affiliate market is beyond saturated now and you’ll find it very, very difficult to get enough sign-ups to cover even a small portion of your losses, let alone the cost of giveaways (and no one will use your links out of the goodness of their heart) and all the rest. If you’re just gambling anyway and want to make videos of the sessions for pure entertainment, go for it, but if you’re thinking of this as a financial venture, sorry it’s simply a dead end. If it was that easy we’d all be doing it.

I agree that the market is saturated but there must be money in it.  There is a guy online called spin it in, he started up a few months ago and has less than 2000 subscribers.  He plays low stakes 40 to 60p.   He used to do a video once a week but is now doing 4 or 5 a week during the lock down, surely he couldn’t afford that if he had no income from his efforts?

Watching spin it in is like watching Victor Meldrew play slots, but he has interesting concepts like slot battles,   Hideous Creature is an out and out nut job – bottom line, if you are just an ordinary guy playing slots then Argyl is right – it will be difficult, you have to have a hook

[Ba Bambigotshot WANTED $14 Blocked]

Having read your story I would say it’s not time to take a break, it’s time to call it quits for good.   If your gambling affects your life it’s bad, if it also affects those you love you have a real problem – that’s not being hard on you just a fact.

Sign up to Gamban and also block gambling on all your cards, which you can now do online with banks,  Once you have no way of gambling you will be amazed how much the urge disappears
