Preface

I have been making money on gambling, with varying success, since 2011. Over the years, I’ve tried various things, including:

• Texas Hold’em poker;
• attracting young fans of freebies to gambling;
• classic gambling bay on Pin-Up;
• working with traffic in betting.

I plan to write a large guide on SEO for gambling: for several separate posts, like the one I have on blogging. But it takes a lot of time, which is not yet available. Maybe I’ll sit down during the New Year holidays.

In general, I have a lot of experience in the niche. And today I want to share with you a method by which novice webmasters can immerse themselves in the subject: learn basic terms, player psychology, game mechanics and other things. And at the same time earn a little money with which you can start your gambling site, YouTube, Telegram channel or something else like that.

Disclaimer: I do not recommend gambling people to dive into the gambling niche. Ultimately, you will be left not only without money, but also with debts, as well as a damaged nervous system (so medical care will be required).

Who will pay you money to watch streams

The streamers themselves will pay. They earn a decent amount for this (even more than many webmasters who pour gambling). The following marketing funnel works here:

1. The streamer negotiates with a specific online casino for a certain number of streams (for example, 10 pieces of 1 stream per day).
2. The terms of cooperation between the streamer and the casino may vary. A streamer can receive a fixed payment (“fix”) for a package of streams (for example, $10,000 for 10 streams). Or the conditions may be such that the streamer is credited with money to the casino balance, he plays on them and all that his income will win (after wagering the “wager”).
3. The streamer conducts streams (for example, for 1.5 hours each) during which he plays slots and attracts his viewers to the casino.
4. Viewers register using the streamer’s referral links, make deposits and play them.
5. The casino makes a profit, part of which is shared with the streamer, as with a classic gambling webmaster.
6. If the streamer has attracted a sufficient number of players during the accounting period, the casino extends the contract with him.

At first glance, everything is quite simple. But here, as in the arbitration of gambling affiliate traffic, there are a lot of pitfalls. And the first of them is competition.

Streaming is not SEO for you. It won’t work here to just launch a stream and expect it to rank in organic search for a month or a year, bringing traffic and registrations.

New viewers on the channel can only be obtained by getting into the recommendations (“rivers”). And there places are very limited, even in Twitch, even in YouTube (I won’t write much about Kick here – the platform is half-dead).

To get into the recommendations, there must be activity on the part of viewers on the stream: likes and comments. And even if they are available, the same YouTube may not broadcast the recommendations, imposing a shadow ban on the channel (usually due to complaints from competitors, which are common here as well as in SEO).

Therefore, streamers in various ways should not only deceive this fucking racket, but also increase activity on the stream. Such things are used, for example:

• cheating viewers (they can be bought in different task services);
• classic promotion of a YouTube channel using a video bay (from-for private bans on the subject of – not a very profitable method);
• pouring traffic from your other social networks (announcements of streams in Telegram);
• holding various contests and promotions for viewers, as during streams (write a code word in chat – get $10 on a card or crypt), and more global ones (become a referral and participate in the $5,000 raffle).

In this case, we are interested in the latest activities of the contests.

Mini-promotions for live stream viewers

They can take the form of stimulation of various activities, which, as a rule, boils down to an increase in the number of comments under the stream.

The most common contests:

1. Write a code word in the chat. A special streamer bot collects the nicknames of all participants during the stream. At some random moment of the broadcast, the streamer presses the winner selection button in the bot and asks you to write your nickname in the Telegram to the chat. Then a special person (moderator) contacts you and transfers the “cape” in $5, $10, $50 to a bank card or a cryptocurrency wallet.
2. Guess a random number. The streamer uses a special bot to indicate the range of digits. For example: from 1 to 999. And chooses one that will need to be guessed. Viewers write numbers in the chat until someone guesses. Heand receives money from the streamer.
3. Recommend a slot. Viewers recommend certain slots for the channel’s points in Twitch (which are awarded for views) or a regular message on YouTube. The streamer enters them and buys a “bonus” (or makes 100 spins). If the spins pay off and bring profit, the viewer who recommended the slot receives a monetary reward.
4. “Wheels”. Some online casinos make the “Wheel of Luck” functionality specifically for streamers. The streamer right inside the casino launches a raffle of money on the balance for its referrals or just for all viewers. To participate in it, it is enough to register.

Large contests for referrals

These are events aimed more at the global promotion of the streamer and attracting “first deposits” (the first deposits from players who have not played in a particular casino before).

The conditions can be very diverse, for example:

1. Bonus tournament. The viewer must register using the streamer’s referral link at the casino and select a specific slot. After recruiting a set number of participants, the streamer divides everyone into pairs and buys live bonuses for each of the slots. Whose bonus brought the most winnings – goes to the next round. Who took the top position in the final table-3, 5, 10 – they receive cash prizes from the streamer.
2. A big win. The viewer must register using the streamer’s referral link at the casino and play the specified slot (or slots of one provider). With a certain win, for example, x100 from the bet, the participant gets the right to participate in the drawing of cash prizes from the streamer (for example, 10 winners of $ 100 each). To do this, you need to send the confirmation of the win with a screenshot to the streamer’s Telegram.
3. Replenishment of the balance. The viewer must register using the streamer’s referral link at the casino and simply top up the balance for a certain amount (usually $ 10). Among all those who have registered in a certain period of time (after the start of the competition), the streamer gives away cash prizes.

How much can you earn on such streamers

The amount of earnings depends solely on your time, experience and luck.

You can put together a list of streamers for daily viewing and get $10 a day, or you can watch one person once a day and get $10 a week.

I got about $250 in a month of unhurried views after the main job. This amount includes the following money:

• $20 for code words from streamer No.1;
• $40 for “wheels” from streamer No.2;
• $70 for code words from streamer #3;
• $120 for participating in the referral contest from streamer #4.

I can say that I was lucky enough to win half of this amount in one of the referral contests. But if you engage in such a “business” fully and on a regular basis, I think it is quite possible to do up to $ 1,000 per month.

And yes, this is all taking into account my expenses for deposits at the casino to participate in contests. That is, I brought out more in total, I just spent part of it on the same contests for referrals, for example.

Pitfalls and life hacks

As with any other type of online earnings, there are pitfalls and secrets that you will only learn in practice. But there is something I can share with you that I have learned in such a short period of time.

1. Bots. Naturally, such activities are fertile ground for bot breeders. People try to abuse anything for the sake of free money. They register a lot of accounts for Twitch and YouTube to collect “capes”. They register many casino accounts through VPN and proxy in order to collect bonuses and participate in “wheels” and contests. You can try it too. The main thing here is not to burn.
2. Refocusing table. If you approach the matter wisely, after a while it will be difficult to remember who you registered at which casino and through which banking details. Therefore, get yourself a table in Excel, where you will enter the following parameters: the name of the streamer and a link to the Telegram, details (email, phone, wallet), browser, VPN, and other auxiliary things.
3. Stream schedule. Some casino streamers operate on an approximate schedule. Others can send an announcement to Telegram 15 minutes before the start of the broadcast. To create a full-fledged work schedule for yourself, add information about future streams to Google Calendar (or whatever you use).
4. Work in multiple windows and browsers. As you gain momentum, the streams of different bloggers will begin to overlap. In order not to miss out on a potential freebie, get several browsers and desktops (as professional developers or traders).
5. Small streamers can be profitable. Large streamers, as a rule, play large amounts of money on their streams. But they have a huge online audience (thousands of viewers), so it will be damn difficult to win there. Another thing is – small streamers, with live online up to 100 people. It’s really possible to win against such people several times a week.
6. Search for live streamers. Webmasters also collect some of the traffic from streams, launching re-streams and old recordings with affiliate links to casinos. They are easily identified by channel names, such as: “LORD_TREPUTIN______Y6L”, “ZUBAREFFF_ID22530”, and “dead” chats. “Live” streamers can be found in the categories of Twitch and YouTube: “Casino Simulator”, “Casino”. Or through mutual PR.
7. The casino is not united. A couple of times I came across streamers in Twitch who were streaming outside the casino at that moment, but at the same time they were still giving money to viewers by code words. So you can take a broader look.
