Streaming Live Dealer Blackjack – What You Should Know

Live Dealer BlackjackBefore I showcase a couple of my favorite gambling streamers, let me give you some very basic advice about things you should know if you’re thinking of streaming your own live casino experience. I won’t be telling you HOW to stream (that kind of article may come later, if there’s an interest in it), but rather just outlining a couple of important things that you should be aware of before taking that dive. Call it a “streaming live blackjack 101”, if you will! So with that said, what are the three essentials you should know?

1. Twitch Doesn’t Allow Gambling

By far the largest streaming platform in the world right now is twitch.tv, which hosts streams of basically every single game you can imagine, from “Dota 2” to “Minecraft”… With a couple of exceptions, of course. At the end of the day, Twitch is a corporation, and they have made a few decisions to protect their business. One of those choices involves banning certain games and genres from appearing on their platform, including, but not limited to, “Yandere Simulator”, “Second Life” and “HuniePop”. But in addition to that, as of about a year ago, they also started banning gamers streaming their gambling exploits. It’s hard to get their exact reasoning for the ban, as Twitch are notoriously bad when it comes to communicating their decisions (with the developer of “Yandere Simulator” still lacking an explanation about why his game is banned despite the fact that it features no sexual themes or anything more overt than other games that aren’t banned on Twitch), so I’m afraid we may never know why the company hates gambling so much. In any case, when choosing the platform to stream on, Twitch may not be it.

2. Invest in a Decent Webcam

We’re past the point where streamers can get by on just their voice, let alone on just their actions. That’s not how things are done in 2017, and if you think you can get away with just streaming your screen and shouting into your headset’s mic, you might as well give up right now. In order to succeed in this hobby and, hopefully, turn it into a profession eventually, you need to be a personality, first and foremost. You’re an entertainer. You need to feel real and tangible enough so that anyone watching you can reach out to you and touch you. And to do that you need a good webcam and decent lighting in your room. I’m talking at least 1080p, with a nice recording software which renders at least 30 frames per second. Investing in a good mic in addition to the camera is also a very good idea, but the camera should be your first priority if you want any chance of success.

3. Know What to Stream

Imagine this scenario – you’re watching a streamer who’s playing a live blackjack game. They enter the lobby, ready to bet some dough… And all of the rooms are full. They picked an online casino without enough live blackjack rooms, and are now stuck waiting for a free spot during rush hour so that they can even play. And you’re stuck with them as they awkwardly scramble to keep you entertained, failing miserably. I don’t know about you, but I’d move on to another streamer very quickly. To avoid becoming that streamer, you need to do your homework. You have to be intimately familiar with the casino that you’re streaming from (unless discovering it is going to be part of the fun, but I don’t recommend that to beginners), and have to pick a place with a ton of rooms. You can find the best live blackjack sites at http://www.liveblackjack.org.uk/ and use that information to ensue you choose an appropriate casino for your stream. Trust me, if you do your homework, you’re going to have an easier time, there’s less of a chance of things going wrong, you’ll feel calmer, and also your viewers will have a more fun time. And ultimately, that’s the most important thing.

youtubeHello and welcome to Stream-Project.eu – a website dedicated to the best casino streamers on Twitch any YouTube. In this introductory post, I will tell you a bit about who I am and why I decided to create this site – a mission statement of sorts, so to say. Make sure you give it a glance before browsing through the rest of the site and all the interesting articles it contains.

My name is Ross Gibson, and I am a proud citizen of the United Kingdom. I grew up in Liverpool, and ever since I was a teen, I’ve been fascinated by everything related to casino games. I am an avid blackjack and roulette player, and I also take a keen interest in slots. In order to become better and win real money at online casinos, I started self-educating myself on game strategies, budget management tactics, and other useful stuff. I found that watching casino streams on Twitch and YouTube helped me quite a bit in achieving my goals. Plus, it can be quite entertaining as well – depends on the stream you are watching.
