I want to ask this question for a while now and I think this is a good opportunity, are gambling influencers real gamblers? Or they are just doing their influencing job to attract many people into gambling? Because I find it very hard to believe that all gambling influencers are into gambling, many of them don't even want anything to do with gambling, but as a influencer for different types of casinos, they will make a lot of money from those casinos, way more than being a crypto influencer.
I think that most are just influencers.
i also think that most of them are just paid influencers not hard core gamblers. or who knows, because they are already promoting the casino, they will soon find out that they are also gamblers by heart? but i believe most of them are just converted gamblers, as they want to earn money, they need to live like one as well. and if they are into money, they can easily hop from one casino to another, where the pay is better. they can easily do this if they have good following already.
You are absolutely right, those aren't real gamblers and they don't have anything with gambling. They are mainly there to earn money from those gambling sites which want the promotion from those social media influencers. I have seen many channels on YouTube that were playing games in a way that only a newbie would play, but still the audience were following those influencers.
I'm pretty sure that they get some special treatment from the gambling sites that want to attract far higher number of users, and I'm quite sure that they gambling sites are paying those influencers in premium. Another thing that I noticed is that most of those gamblers are also earning via referral programs, they are doing affiliate marketing to earn enough income that way as well.
