Tvitch kockanje danas - misli?

I just read a Casino Guru News article about Twitch and its rules.

(https://casino.guru/news/in-depth/twitch-gambling-ban-and-rules-explained--6773)

Twitch has taken a strong stance on gambling content, implementing restrictions that specifically target unlicensed operators.

Some key points from the article:

Twitch prohibits streams featuring gambling sites that aren’t licensed in the U.S. or other jurisdictions with strong consumer protections.

The rules focus on slots, roulette, and dice games, while poker, sports betting, and fantasy sports remain allowed.

Despite the evolution of enforcement measures, certain content still seems to exceed acceptable boundaries.

How do you see Twitch’s approach to gambling? Are these measures effective, or do they create loopholes? Have they influenced gambling content on other platforms?

As far as I know, there are a lot of people who like just to watch someone playing card games or roulette.

So I see nothing bad in watching similar games' stream on twitch. In my opinion later when you play yourself, you feel more calm as it looks more familiar.

Oh, I see. Makes sense; I automatically considered streaming as a slot event. My bad. 🙂

What about slots? According to the article, the point is that

Slots: 1.4m followers

Virtual Casino: 587,400 followers

I completely agree that unauthorized casinos should not be allowed to be streamed.

Additionally, even for licensed casinos, it would have been great if streamers consistently reminded viewers of responsible gaming practices.

Jeg er helt enig i at uautoriserte kasinoer ikke bør tillates å bli strømmet.

I tillegg, selv for lisensierte kasinoer, hadde det vært flott om streamere konsekvent minnet seerne på ansvarlig spillpraksis.

I consider streaming a new way of advertisement. Since I saw a post on LinkedIn written by a so-called streamer about how she works not more than 4 hours a day, gets tons of money - also for playing???, so she can afford anything she wants, spending her time traveling across the globe, I back then lost all the hope.

It was a project—Casino/GameProvider hired "streamers" to play alongside with players. She was one of the squad...

Well, I still like to believe there are honest streamers out there.

Yes, that's so, so true.

I also want to believe that there are honest streamers, who are open about what they do and actually care about their audience. 🙂

Ja, det er så, så sant.

Jeg vil også tro at det finnes ærlige streamere, som er åpne om det de gjør og faktisk bryr seg om publikumet sitt. 🙂

And I believe not only in honest people

streamers, but also in noble

robbers (Robin Hood). They

won money from the rich

casinos and gave them to the poor

gambling addicts. Now such

is engaged in Flying Spaghetti Monster. His program includes

point: • ending poverty.

Soon there will be no poor people...

А я верю не только в честных

стримеров, но и в благородных

разбойников (Robin Hood). Они

выигрывали деньги у богатых

казино и раздавали их бедным

лудоманам. Сейчас подобным 

занимается Flying Spaghetti Monster. В его программе есть

пункт: • прекращение бедности.

Скоро бедных не станет...

Although I genuinely have my doubts about that, I respect your original thought.

Well, let's hope together. 🙂

Perhaps my opinion on this aspect of the gambling industry is profane, but I think it is safe to say that I simply do not like any influencing practices.

Maybe, why not?

In today's reality there are "people watching others playing video games", and even "people watching other people watching someone playing videogames".

So watching someone spinning slots on Twitch would be... interesting.

Especially when someone drastically win or lose. It will definitely make a reaction!

Definitely, that's why I'm so eager to understand the nature of the Twitch regulations. Well, that was my original question about.

For example, most of the people I have met do not watch streamers to just overcome the passion for gambling; they need to feel they can win too. Also, for far too many kids, this has become a gateway. Most of the streams I come across are pretty close to influencers rather than "I'm streaming for fun."

I want to draw a comparison between real estate agents and streamers. Even though real estate is a "craft" that is solely focused on handling profitable deals, anyone could become a real estate agent in the recent past. The moral aspects were on each individual; legal liability was quite low, simply put.

As a senior agent, my father attended many interviews with candidates hoping to work in his office. Most of those individuals had a very clear and dishonest motivation.

These days, each agent is held legally and personally responsible for following the law and must pass a national degree exam. Basically, full consequences.

Call me a pessimist, but this world is filled with instant joy that is broadcast on many different channels, but reality sets in when things get out of control and the glitter goes down. 😀

Couldn't say better.

My own experience (ok, one of 🙂) is different mobile gotcha-games (not naming them, but there are few very famous which stay in the top list for years). And one of the gambling principles there - is opening the shards with the chance of getting high-rank heroes (a chance of 6%, 1%, 0.5% etc), and while you can get those shards within the gameplay (just a few here and there), you still can buy lots of them for the real money (similar to spins and other mechanics). Yeah-yeah I'm a Captain as you all know that without me telling 🙂

But. Why I'm telling this - even those who don't spend and cannot afford pulling many-many shards for those heroes - they watch YouTubers, TikTokers and Twitchers doing it because it's the way to forget for a couple of minutes that it's not them, but you. It's you, gambling over your destiny and trying your luck.

Sometimes those streams make people go and do that themselves, sometimes not.

But we cannot deny that it takes a big effect definitely.

Ha! Something like Idle Heroes or Summon Heroes, perhaps?

I used to play both...

You know, you're right. I admit when it comes to streaming I'm not objective. Thank you for turning the balance back. 🙂

I’ve noticed that gambling streams on Twitch have become really popular, and I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, it’s entertaining to watch, but on the other, it can encourage risky behavior, especially among younger viewers. Some streamers make it look too easy to win, without showing the real consequences of gambling losses. I think Twitch should have stricter rules to protect viewers while still allowing responsible content. Overall, I believe people should be more aware of the risks before getting influenced by these streams.
