It’s not uncommon when a Twitch casino streamer hits a big win to see reactions in the chat like “they never lose”, “I never win like that”, or “they’re playing with fake money on rigged slot machines”. So, are casino streamers actually given advantages by the casino during their sessions? That’s the burning question we’re going to answer today.
Since this question isn’t the only one people ask about casino streamers on Twitch, we’ll address several of them in this article.

“Casino streamers are given advantages, that’s a fact.”
If that’s what you’ve always thought, we can’t do much to change your mind. But if you’re open to hearing our arguments, the rest of this article will be useful to you. We’ll address some of the most common questions about casino streamers, so you’ll have all the information you need to form your own opinion on the matter.
Of course, we understand why some people think this way about casino streamers. No matter which streamer you watch (like Vause, Bidule, Loopoo, Teufeurs, Ekanos, Doc Jazy…), you’ve probably seen some of them hit huge wins on slot machines. Every time they land a big prize, some viewers write “rigged” in the chat. For many, it has become almost a meme to say so. But some genuinely believe that streamers have an advantage when playing casino games. So, the question is: are casino streamers playing on rigged machines to attract more players to their partner casinos?
You might be surprised to hear this, but yes, casino streamers do have advantages, in a way.
The advantage of casino streamers over regular players
Yes, you read that right. Casino streamers do have an advantage over regular players. However, it’s not what you might think (like rigged games or manipulated slot machines). While gambling can quickly become an expensive hobby for a regular player, it doesn’t cost as much for casino streamers.
Why? Because most of them receive money from the casino to fund their streaming sessions. Think of it as an investment from the casino’s perspective. They give money to the streamer to promote their website and attract new players. It’s a win-win partnership between the streamer and the casino.

Do they deposit like everyone else?
While most casino streamers only play with the bonuses offered by the casino, some do occasionally deposit their own money. Even when they make deposits, the casino often gives them a 200% or even 300% deposit bonus. Why? Because it allows them to entertain their audience longer, stream for extended periods, and promote the casino for a longer time.
Sometimes, you might see new streamers appearing in the Twitch slots section. As they build their communities, most of them deposit their own money along with a bonus. Eventually, some stop streaming casino games because it’s not profitable in the long run. The ultimate goal that all casino streamers aim to achieve is stream bonuses (with wagering requirements).
Do streamers play with fake money? Can they withdraw?
No, the bonus money given by the casino for their sessions is not fake money. After they meet their wagering requirements (x20, x35, it varies), they are allowed to withdraw their winnings.
“Can they withdraw everything, even if they win a huge amount like €100,000?” Well… it depends.
It mostly depends on the type of partnership they have with the casino. The more new depositing players they attract to the casino, the more they are allowed to withdraw. However, if they deposit their own money along with a bonus and complete their wagering requirements, they generally don’t face any withdrawal limits.
Casino streamers are not given advantages: here’s why
Casinos and streamers have no interest in getting involved in such a risky situation for several reasons. If it turned out that a casino streamer had an unfair advantage, it would severely damage their reputation, and viewers wouldn’t trust them anymore. One indirect consequence could be that they would lose their partnerships with other casinos they work with. Plus, other casinos wouldn’t want to suffer from the negative image either.
For the casino, the consequences would be even worse. It would not only damage their reputation, but players would lose trust in that casino. It could result in significant financial loss due to bad publicity, as players would stop gambling there. Moreover, the casino might even lose its gaming licence.

“Why do they win so regularly then?”
All casino streamers have hit crazy multipliers while playing slot machines. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re playing on boosted RTP machines or anything like that. The explanation is actually quite simple. They end up landing big wins because they play much more regularly than regular players. While a casual player might play occasionally, a casino streamer is live for 4 to 7 hours, 5 to 6 days a week.
It’s easy to understand why they eventually hit big wins during some of their sessions. However, if you watch their streams regularly, you’ll notice that they’re not luckier than the average player. Sometimes, they even go through long streaks of bad luck, just like everyone else.
