What happened to the Bandit

[spindoctor99]

So for years I use to watch the bandit. His video's that were based on sites like Videoslots etc were very entertaining.

As soon as he switched to the crypto casino's its changed. I just find him fucken annoying now with his constant story telling. I think he'd make an excellent fisherman.

It wouldn't surprise me if he has made a killing as an affiliate because he gives absolutely nothing back to the community that funds his lifestyle. Most affiliates I have seen have leaderboards and rank up rewards etc. Not the bandit. He just takes it and then loses 20k on Vampy Party.

Last video I watched was him telling everyone how he was a pub and there was a bucks party and ended up sending the bride to be 10k for the wedding/honeymoon. Story had no relevance to gambling but it was nice of him to tell us constantly what a top bloke he is.

I can't be the only person who thinks this...

I unsubbed a while back. Videos became monotonous shadow shills for Hacksaw and really quite samey and boring. Also felt that Steve lacked full transparency on where the income started coming from when he switched to crypto.

Pretty sure the first time he said they sponsored the first couple of videos of him doing it but now it's been well over 2 years and his excuse of not running competitions because of the UKGC is ironic given he now exclusively plays on sites that he can't promote but technically does promote by going to his site and using his affiliate links.

I used his affiliate link for 500.casino and didn't get a thing from it. I was down loads and put a lot of wagering through that account before I closed it so I hope he got something out of it. I noticed a lot of people complained about it on his website and he excuse all the time was he wasn't allowed.

I feel sorry for his kids.

Can not agree more, Him and good old @JGslots was the only 2 i use to be able to watch and enjoy but now i find Bandit rather annoying, the videos are not what they use to be at all not watched any in months, I tell you who I do watch and enjoy and thats 10p gamer

no doubt just a shill like all streamers, either that or he is an idiot playing 92% games at hundreds per spin.

Cut down watching most slot streamers/videos a while ago except for a couple which included the Bandit.

But his videos became one big repeat, churning them out at such a high pace it was getting so boring I just didn't bother anymore. And always those stories about the golf club/pub or whatever it is where he's playing for hours and hits max wins but can't even record or make a screenshot of them to edit in his videos. I'm still subscribed to his channel but haven't clicked on a video in a long time now.

I wanted to believe he was legit, and I think he was back in the VS days but nowadays? Who knows really. In comparison to some others his bonus buys are reasonably low stakes but for the regular Joe they're still impossible to buy.

92%!? Might as well give up from there.

Steve used to be legit, then he sold out. Don't really blame him, but don't watch him anymore. I used to be a big part of his community but didn't agree with the Kwiff promotions (him sending people a £5 do they could open an account and deposit and a couple of other bits). He did help out a few charities over the years but now he has gone to bonus bits it's very monotonous

Rocknrolla the same - for someone who was so anti-crypto for so long, his website disappeared and then he started with the cryptos.

Yes I too was quite a fan of Bandit (who could forget the "epic plums" hit on Jammin' Jars or the huge hit on Lil Devil? The Bandit at his finest.

But those days are long gone. Now he is a mere shill for Hacksaw.
And as a result, his videos got very samey and the whole thing got stale. Apart from watching one video a few weeks ago, I haven't watched any of his videos in over a year.

The one I watched recently was enough evidence for me to see that he hasn't changed things up for the better. Just the same old formula of Hacksaw bonus buys ad nauseum.

I would assume that he does the odd video that features BTG, No Limit and Push Gaming slots, but I wasn't going to spend time trawling through his archives trying to find one.

Ultimately, money talks. And he followed the money.
And tbh, I can't say I blame him/fault him for doing so.
