I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube gambling “stars” lately and I wonder, where do they get all of this money? Are they sponsored?

They blow hundreds of thousands like it’s nothing.

Check out these two videos below from a couple of them. Guy loses one million at a Blackjack table on Stake and another loses another million at a physical casino. His addict buddies are with him.

The online casinos give them fake money to roll through in return for them enticing their viewers to join with their deposit bonus code.

Aidin Ross signed like a 30 mil deal per year with kick. Cody normally plays with fake money on the online casinos

I don't know where the money comes from, but it's funny.

I feel sorry for all of these radio show hosts who become addicted to gaming.

Have you watched SDGuy1234?

This guy has a horseshoe up his arse among other things if you watch him you know I mean.

In 90% of his videos, he goes in with a 500 dollar budget and walks out of there with at least 1,500 playing slots.

He doesn’t come off as femboy as the more known talent Sister Brian Christopher. Ironically, they share the same name.

He doesn’t care about which casino he visits he just goes in and starts filming and when they tell him to stop he leaves or gets kicked out so there is no correlation between him winning or losing. He has even been banned at a few casinos.

He mainly sticks to Midwest Casinos around Iowa and Wisconsin. Mainly because they will publish certain payback percentages on certain slot machines while other states they do not publish this data. He will sometimes visit other states. He basically lives in his car and comped hotel suites.

There is no stone left unturned about his sexuality and is pretty open about his lifestyle and partners.

Well math says that’s just not how it works, so if he posted all of his trips I believe it would it would be different.

I watch Vegas Matt a lot. He does high limit slots. He is wealthy outside of gambling (I’m pretty sure he used to be really high up in an MLM). He has some insane losses but he writes them off. He did a huge session a few months ago where he was playing $1250/spin and lost $300k. I think it was a group buy-in though.

The channels with high subscriber counts can probably freeroll most of their sessions with YouTube revenue, which is pretty awesome IMO.

They work for stake and promote the site. Stake gives them free money essentially tho I think whatever they win they’ll get to keep.

That’s exactly what Vegas Matt does. I heard a few podcasts that he was a guest. He is a pretty likable guy.

He has his sons working for him. One tapes all gambling sessions and one edits the videos. They make enough money on the social media videos to cover the loses and pay his kids a handsome salary plus make a good profit. What a time to be alive!

He also said that the casinos in Vegas have not YET started to sponsor influencers from the social media space but he thinks that will happen very soon. He is also in talks with IMG to have a slot game licensed with his likeness - which would be super profitable for him personally.

It’s an interesting cycle

They get the viewers to drive their revenue to blow at the casinos feeding their addiction

I know the math is suspect and sometimes he will play a losing session on a slot and add in the edit another slot video in between sessions. You can tell because the reels are identical between clips.

But much like blackjack players, he does have a few betting strategies that could help the advantage to the player. It is about being smarter gamblers and not be machine feeders.

On all of his strategies, the goal is to play a hundred and to double it and get off the machine or just cash out and start again with another hundred. There are some times that I will see him play and get to 199.95 and keep playing all the way down to 0 or he will hit another bonus and win well over the 200 mark.

One method is called the up and down betting. You start at minimum bet and go up to max bet and then back down.

Another variation of the up and down is to do ladder betting, where you move your bet up after each winning spin, and if you lose you drop back down to minimum bet.

Another variation he will do especially on higher denomination machines is to play the minimum bet till a bonus. After bonus if you are not at 200 or more, you go to the next bet level till the next bonus until you hit the magic level of 200.

Another strategy is less lines more winning, you take a high denomination slot machine that might have 20 lines and a dollar denomination with a max bet of 5 per line. A max bet on this machine would cost 100 dollars. You bet one line for 5, and if the bonus is based off of winning paylines your bonus spins are essentially 100 dollar spins you paid 5 dollars for. Same for line pays, you are just focused on the one payline and not the other 19 lines that may never line up.


I will use that strategy a few times on some Aristocrat machines that don’t have lines, but you pay for the full reels. I will pay for the first 3 reels and play max bet. So instead of betting 5 dollars, 25 for all the reels times 20, I do the first 3 reels for 9 or 7 cents (depending on game and casino) times 20 for bets of 1.40 or 1.80. I have hit a few five of a kinds this way that do pay handsomely. The goal with this method is being able to keep playing until something larger hits. This method smooths out all the 5 dollar bets and 2 dollar wins. This is because most wins are usually 3 of a kinds (1st 3 reels) that pay on 1 or 2 dollars even on max bet.

I was at Harrahs in New Orleans they installed some slots on the floor where you can’t lose, every spin is a winner, but have to accept the fact that when you do win you are not winning your entire bet back all the time. On a 6 dollar max bet, you might win 50 cents most times and you have a few winning spins. It could be a good machine to earn those valuable points as Vegas Matt would say.
