Casino streamers and fake balance discussion

I was a part of a stream on twitch around a couple years back. The steamer was getting popular quickly and considered streaming for a gambling site. He talked with stake and they told him he would get a fake balance, and any profits he made he would keep 15% as real money.

This added a lot more context for me when watching streamers because often their excitement at big wins seems much more aligned with that, in theory. This is only hearsay, but all the facts align quite well to me. Roshtein is probably a millionaire by now, but I don't expect he owns a private jet.

Most of the streamers probably used to be degen to some degree but now with their partnership it turns more into a job and us watching them work, because they are lying saying it's "real money" distancing them from their community, which are expecting to track the progress of a successful degen.

I already responded here - check it out if you don't mind.

Thanks for sharing!

I don't know whether the topic is still interesting for you, but I just found the article that goes deeper with conspiracy that providers may work together with operators. Ofc, it's not 100% true, but it makes more sense, why I lose 70 out of 100 roulette bets (betting to voisin) and such thing never happens to popular streamers (if you are interested - the link is https://www.ltccasino.com/fake-streamers-exposed)
