Today I'm questioning whether those Twitch crypto gambling streams are "scams" as many are suggesting, and how the companies (Roobet, Stake etc) involved with these sponsored streams are involved, via their Curacao casino gaming licenses, with a world of money laundering and the drug trade - culminating in events which have rocked the small island of Curacao, a country which has suffered from policital corruption via gambling interests for the past decade.

Was a surveillance investigator at a casino for almost a decade.
You'd see the same people there every day, mindlessly staring into the slot screens, not having any fun as you mentioned.
Per house rules, the most anyone can ask them is if they're having fun and if they respond no then give them a pamphlet for a help line.
At one point a woman, who had been a retiree of a local company that had saved millions to retire on was one of them. We saw her every day, spending at least 10k a day there.
Her children came and begged the casino to do something, but they never did.
One day she stopped coming in and I wondered why so I looked up her account. There was a note.
"Ask for a loan from the casino; banned for 12 months."
They banned her because they tricked her out of everything. They fucking suck.

I'm a therapist and have several child clients that are obviously addicted to gambling in the form of loot crates and similar game mechanics. I've literally had to explain these things to parents because they can't understand why their kids are stealing credit cards and charging hundreds of dollars at a time in $2-20 increments. These are 10 and 12 year old kids facing legal charges for theft because they need to try for some skin or special weapon or w/e.

As a recovering gambling addict, I started gambling on video games like cs go and it altered the trajectory of my life. Influencers played a huge role when I was a kid in romanticizing cs go case openings, no one really talked about the downsides. It’s terrifying to think how many kids will become gambling addicts because of these twitch streams, so many suicides because of gambling a year it’s crazy.

People don’t realize how addictive gambling is. My father has had a serious gambling problem for 50 years now. Thank you for this, you’ve blessed us with your class and sass on this Friday afternoon.

Lol Trainwrecks really went, "Actually it's fine since I'm only promoting it to people who already have a problem with gambling" lol. Personally, I sell alcohol but since that's kinda icky I only do it outside of Alcohol Anonymous meetings since they already have a problem.

I'm a compulsive gambler and these scenes make me remember a lot. Standing at tables for hours at a time, no food no water, just throwing dice and cards and chips. Its sad really. The money means nothing, the drug is making the bet, not winning the bet, and it is absolutely captivating. Its only on the broke and lonely drive home that you realize how truly emotionally and spiritually depleted you really are.
If you are a young person watching this, please dont start gambling.

I shared a house with a casino croupier. She took a ton of speed just to stay awake, was pale as death because she never saw the sun and was twitchy and irritable from sleep deprivation. I can't imagine a more miserable job.

I literally don't understand how this channel is at 50k when I feel like I'm watching at least 500k quality channel. It shocks me every time I watch a video.

I used to work as a game presenter on an online casino, and that compilation of them falling asleep at the tables is so familiar. It's not human trafficking though. Just working a boring, repetitive job for another nightshift in a poorly ventilated room. My least favorite job ever. And I've worked several service jobs.

dude so check this out, shit sucks, after my grandma died, my papa like went through this horrible depression and started playing black jack at the casino. he lost all this money, then started racking up credit card debt. This went on for years but he managed to send his grandsons' a little 10 dollar check in the mail our birthdays (as a 28 year old man). He started getting sick and finally my dad called and said "Alex, you need to call papa because its likely he's not gonna be here tomorrow" So I did, and my papa was in tears saying how much he loved us and how sorry he was. "sorry for what papa?" I say, and he says "I spent every dime I had on cards, all the money for you and your brother, all the money I worked 60 years to save, its all gone. Can you forgive your papa?" That was the last time I spoke to him. Dad had to fly out to Colorado to sell his house to pay back all the debt.
gambling ruins good peoples lives. I'm deeply saddened to see the techniques casinos use to manipulate people. And yeah, btw I forgive you papa.

I’m from the state of Kansas, and sports gambling was recently made legal. The sheer amount of tv ads promoting sports gambling was absurd and frankly disgusting. I couldn’t help but feel like I was watching the equivalent of cigarette commercials.

I worked at a casino in Australia and there was a death at a slot machine every 8 weeks from someone who had literally played themselves to death. They are kept quiet and played off as other incidents, but that shit was extremely sinister.

I worked for a casino out of college and it just becomes so sad seeing so many people sitting at slot machines all day. Because the majority of the patrons are not wealthy people but low to middle class and will leave with less money. As the phrase goes, the house always wins.

I used to work at a casino (in Canada) and let me tell you, it destroyed my soul. Watching people throw money away everyday was just so sad. Sometimes more money than I would make in a year. And yeah, I was basically a minimum wage worker. At least we made tips, because usually that was where all my money would come from. Luckily, as an employee of the casino, I was part of a union, so the union was decent at fighting for our rights and wages, but of course the company didn't want to pay us any more than was necessary (even tho it's a casino, they basically print money) Casinos prey on everyone.... customers, workers, and the community they serve. And they do bring in a huge amount of money for the government too, so the people at the top won't do much about it. If you do decide to go into a casino and gamble a bit, PLEASE HAVE A BUDGET. If you decide you want to spend 20$, stick to 20$!

i like how the sub licensed casino owners couldnt think of any names for their business so they just named it different temperatures of steak

I never understood how or why people gambled knowing it’s all rigged until I went to Vegas for my 21st birthday. I earned $35.17 in just a few minutes on the slots. When I tried to win again, I lost $21.00. Thankfully, I knew better than to keep going, but the temptation to keep playing was still pretty strong. I walked around the casino afterward and saw people who had already earned thousands of dollars, yet they still kept playing to earn more. If you’re broke and only make minimum wage, gambling can feel like a one way ticket to instant wealth. Too bad the house always wins. Not to mention there were no windows or clocks in that place, so you could spend hours in there and not even know it.

"actively reduce the rate of VIP attrition ... spotting signs they are at risk of lapsing, implementing strategies to retain them." i had to pause and stare at that for a second that's fucked six ways from sunday

I lived in Vegas and worked in the casino for a few years, alongside the VIP hosts. Addicts are 100% encouraged in every way possible, I could write an essay on how much ugly shit goes on behind the scenes. The employees are extremely overworked and underappreciated. Those same hosts who have VIP members dropping $100K a night all have a second job or end up sleeping with their guests to get more off the record tips. Because of this a lot of employees are also gambling addicts. Gambling is NEVER fun, it is nothing but sad and disgusting, I'm so happy I'm out of that.

Thank you for talking about this topic. I lost my father to his gambling addiction (suicide over debts), so I'm always grateful to see someone engage with the gambling industry critically.

Learning there are these mega-popular streamers who have millions of dollars and I've never once heard their name before is like suddenly finding out there's a bunch of giant planets in the solar system that everybody else knew about, and also they're all made of piss and shit.
