[Slotplayer WANTED $2 Outlaw]

I am not familiar with the story about the chap that lost £6.5k in a night. He clearly has a problem and should seek help in my opinion unless he was of course happy to lose the money and could afford it.

An addict may well make a deposit that he can ill afford to lose. He may do that by walking past a bookies, seeing an advert on telly, seeing a big win Youtube video not made by an affiliate (and there are plenty of them!!) or watching the Bandit.

I am also not a fan of the raffles, the issue being is that it became a competition between broadcasters to see who could offer the most outrageous prizes, and what 18 year old is not going to want to win PS4 or an IPhone X and think its worth investing £20 – especially when the broadcaster announces only 10 people in the raffle – He wins £100 from his deposit and we have an addict created!)

I am with you regarding the raffles. For me, raffles should be unconditional. In other words, there should not be a requirement to join a casino and/or make a deposit. And in fairness to Steve, he has done such a raffle with the White Rabbit World Cup.

As to the  point of somebody winning £100 from a deposit and becoming an addict, that is like saying that somebody buys a bottle of wine in the supermarket, enjoys it and therefore becomes an alcoholic. Alcohol, cigarettes and gambling can be addictive but not everybody that enjoys these vices becomes one.

I hate this nanny state bollocks, I hate that a small group can spend all their time trying to get certain You Tube Channels closed down because they don’t ‘agree’ with the content.

Yeah right, don’t agree or are quite sad and as jealous as fuck that others are having a little success on Social Media?  I know where my money is going.

I watch The Bandit as he is funny, entertains me and is <span style=”font-size: 1rem;”>bloody d</span><span style=”font-size: 1rem;”>ecent bloke, if I choose to spunk £200 quid on the slots, then that is my decision, not The Bandits or Paul’s or Kim’s or Nick’s, END OF.</span>

 

You can choose to spend it where you want, hooray for personal choice. However, if someone dangles a carrot on a stick saying “Hey, you might win a grand off me if you sign up to this casino and spend a couple of quid” you might be a little more inclined to do something you DEFINITELY wouldn’t otherwise. Especially if you’re a compulsive gambler (sorry, EX gambler) with a proclivity towards being suckered in to gambling.

Well, if you are an ex gambler then you shouldn’t be watching gambling videos on Youtube full stop. And that is any gambling video, whether they are or are not produced by an affiliate.

One should also remember that you have to actively search out the gambling videos on Youtube. I challenge anybody to log out of their Youtube account and then clear their cache and cookies in the browser and load up Youtube. You will not come across gambling videos that are being discussed here, unless you search for a gambling term.

I am confident that no affiliate wants an addict to sign up through their link. The majority of gamblers are responsible gamblers (though the likes of the Guardian have your believe different!!). How does an affiliate stop the addict signing up? Answers on a post card please. And no, stopping affiliation is not the answer. Affiliation is not illegal. There are numerous rules and regulations that an affiliate has to comply with to make sure the promotion of the casino is done in the correct manner. And with casinos being directly responsible for the actions of their affiliates, they will not hesitate to close an affiliate account if something is not done correctly. I know that the likes of Casumo and Videoslots have done this. They don’t want to risk a massive fine by the UKGC.

Steve, I hope that you get your channel back soon. Keep up the good work mate.
