The Bandit using "a friends account"

[darrenbooth]

How is it legal for The Bandit firstly, to use someone elses log in to "gamble", and secondly how is using someones login from Malta to "gamble" in the UK legal?

[VillaLad]

On the 1st point if it’s his mate he has probably given him his log in details and bandit would be transferring him the money he gambles nothing illegal in that. On the second point I have no idea if it would make a difference where someone is logged in most probably using a vpn

I have no doubt the bandit is doing whatever is possible to demonstrate the obscure dilemma that Gamblers in the Uk face as more and more absurd bonus buys make slots unmarketable except for the chosen few.... 

However there is no doubting the bandits probity as a ,gambler , with extreme stakes and real money mayhem from spin to spin , and the propensity to spend 20k to try and force a bonus at max stake  so many times over the years .... that the inevitable huge hit , like @Rocknrolla , comes infrequently and the money gone just as quickly as it came ....... Slots are becoming unplayable for the majority of uk players , and only min stakes will provide a modicum of pleasure at some considerable cost . Thus honest streamers like the Bandit and @Rocknrolla will always do what must be done when the gambling gods call .... and will always find good support from real gamblers .

I don’t care really

[Gkell727]

I raised this point a little while ago. But much like @Chair Slots I realised quickly that I don’t care 

[Doingfinenow]

Phil nipped over from Malta to assist as the sessions were taking up to 8hours. 8hours of slots a day would be a lot. For only an hour of highlights… I know Phil from twitch hes a top bloke.

As for playing in uk. On a maltese account videoslots do allow this. As long as you tell them first that you’ll be abroad so they know its you logging in.

I made numerous posts before I was banned stating that the bandit gambled irresponsibly and was creating a false sense of normality for his viewers as there is no possible way anyone could afford to gamble the way he does. 
 

I pointed out that the only way he could possibly afford it is through affiliation which is why he had about 10 different competitions and was also trying to push a app on his viewers - 

 

I was told the bandit was rich and didn’t make any money from affiliation etc which obviously now we can see that isn’t true because as soon as affiliation rules for stricter the bandit disappeared

Agreed, the reel king sessions alone were hugely irresponsible, even the ballsy Rolla had second thoughts trying to replicate hitting the top of the ladder. Whatever happened to the Soccer Million project?

Phil was there too depo 

so shouldbe nps

I don't see what the issue is. The Bandit was very clear as to what he was doing, why he was doing it and how. As the account owner was next to him playing it's legit, though given how some casinos apply rules I would probably run it by them first.

No he wasn’t . 
 

he use to deny he made any money from affiliation competitions - at one stage he had like 8 running at one time . Then as soon as affiliation rules became stricter he suddenly stops playing . 
 

bandit seems like a good guy but was always very shady about how he funded his crazy gambling stakes

Why is it anyone’s business how he funds how he gambles?

I don’t understand why people think they have the right to know every little detail of a person just because they decide to watch them on YouTube

If you have thousands of followers many who could have gambling issues encouraging them that spending £10,000 , £20,000 , £100,000 on slots and then saying it’s responsible. 
 

at the same time you are running 8-10 competitions which could encourage these people to sign up to a casino and gamble the same way that you do . Saying I don’t earn from sign ups , I’m running these competitions out of my own money …. That’s just scummy . 
 

he is has a big influence in the YouTube gambling scene so things like this is just irresponsible . When bandit hit big on one of his reel king sessions ….. numerous YouTube streamers said they were jealous of the win and started playing that game. Just imagine how many people sitting at home watching him had the same feeling thinking that’s normal ? 
 

all he had to do was be honest and say the reason I can gamble the way i do is due to affiliation which is why I run all these competitions . It might not have made a difference but it would make some people have less of a urge to copy his irresponsible stakes

@h0tsh0t87

Bit worrying, but I tend to agree with you.

I never used to gamble on the slots, but discovered streamers on YouTube and starting watching Nick play quite a few years ago now.

It did influence me and I started playing. I lost a lot of money over the time I played and as you probably know I'm now gamstopped.

I can watch streamers now just for entertainment, but I agree that big wins do influence people and can it leads to big problems for the more vulnerable people

Is there proof that he wasn’t running the comps with his own money? Or is it just an assumption because he stopped streaming when the rules were tightened? 
 

I watched him gamble ridiculously once he was massively in the hole he was doing that ladder load of shit and got 1 from the top but would have got his money back of course he gambled n lost he then went on to deposit about another 30 grand. Watching that made me feel sick and tbh stopped me from playing slots for ages.

So what your saying is just cause people watch him it’s his fault if someone does there bollocks trying to emulate his gambling style? Basically nobody’s got any sense there always has to be someone to blame.

Exactly the point.

 

if nick came out at the time and enforced that the only reason he can afford to gamble the way he does due to affiliation then it may of made you think twice .

I reckon it must be nigh to impossible to credibly stream slots from the UK these days, I’ve watched Bandits latest bonus hunt uploads and even a 4 figure bankroll can’t offer a bonus on slots such as Dead or a wild, hacksaw gaming etc.. in fact his latest upload comprised mainly of Fruit Warp. It’s all gone to shit nowadays.. I would love to walk away from it all but sadly there’s always loopholes and that ain’t gonna happen.

Im not sure if it would have to be honest. It didn't particularly bother me where the money came from. It was the fact of seeing huge wins and thinking you could easily replicate it.

It's hard to resist when you are a gambler and see a potential opportunity to make easy money.

In hindsight I do think maybe a bigger warning statement could be visible so people know what the pitfalls are before they go for it

Yeah mate, the UK is definitely the poor relation when it comes to slots. Some of the  games are virtually impossible to hit the so called super bonus where the potential lies.

They are reserved for the bonus buys as we all know.

Yea, but there is a different side of bonus buys as well. I saw probably thousands of super bonus buys at this point and I can tell you that it doesnt change anything. You will still lose 99.9% of the time and just lose more money that you already do. Most of them you buy for 500x-1000x-2000x and you lose 60-40% of the price in huge majority of the time.

You are not missing anything with bonus buys, trust me mate. This is just made for streamers who have insane amount of bankroll and can afford to keep buying them over and over and eventually hit it big.

100% agree with ya hardman, I’ve bought hundreds of them and have yet to hit anything remotely decent. Look at this bastard, 200x bonus buy, chaos crew charges £25.80 for a 20p buy for a feature that lasts under a minute. Their a complete fucking swizz yet bigwinboard ping my phone daily showing these Bellend streamers hitting big with fake bankrolls.
