Sweepstakes casinos are becoming social hubs thanks to influencers who stream their big wins, losses, and everything in between. If you’re curious about how to find the best sweeps platforms with a focus on social casino influencers, you’re in the right place.
If you didn’t already know, influencers are social media personalities who’ve built a loyal following by sharing content that resonates. As their audience grows, so does their ability to sway opinions, hence the name.
In the casino world, these influencers often play at certain platforms and promote them to their followers. Sometimes it’s an overt sponsorship, while other times it’s more subtle, but either way, they’re usually getting paid for it! Still, as long as you’re savvy, following casino influencers can be a fun way to unwind while discovering new sites, games, and promotions.
Social Casinos with Built-in Streaming for Influencer Content
- Multiplayer casino-style gaming
- Crypto purchases and instant redemptions
- Streamer-focused Social Rooms
Plenty of creators stream or upload content to YouTube and Kick, the streaming platform operated by Stake (you’re unlikely to find any sweepstakes streamers on Twitch because they restrict certain casino content). Many streamers will have other community-building features too, like Discord chats you can join.
But interestingly, there are a couple of sweepstakes casinos that have streaming features built in, so you may want to consider signing up for MyPrize.us or PlayFame – let’s look at what they both offer here.
MyPrize.us
MyPrize.us is one of those sweepstakes casinos that likes to think outside the box and do things a little differently, which I always appreciate. For example, it has a bunch of developers that aren’t always common in the world of sweeps (e.g., ICONIC21, Big Time Gaming, Nolimit City, etc). Then, another way it differentiates itself is with Social Rooms – in fact, MyPrize.us was the first platform to innovate with this kind of feature.
Users can follow live streams from various influencers (like MrCleanTv pictured above) while logged into their MyPrize.us account. All you need to do is find the ‘Social Rooms’ link in the navbar, although it’s hard to predict when the streamers will be live.
If you do happen to tune in to a stream, you can experience the ups and downs of a session along with the streamer, as you watch the reels and see their reaction. There’s also a panel with a live chat feature, as well as tallies of all the coins in play and the number of users playing.
If you’re enjoying the stream, you can tip the creator using the ‘Tip’ button, and one more impressive feature is the ‘Playing Together’ option, where you can hook into the streamer’s wins (and losses) for yourself. For example, if they get a 10x multiplier, so do you – it’s as if they’re playing for you! You can choose to play with either Gold Coins or Sweeps Coins, and it’s a fun, social alternative to spinning the reels by yourself.
PlayFame
PlayFame followed in MyPrize.us’ footsteps with its own streamer section that it calls ‘PlayFame Creators’. It works in much the same way as above, with a few differences. One is that you can always see the next upcoming set of streams, so you know exactly what date and time to log in, and secondly, the caliber and popularity of the PlayFame-affiliated streamers are generally higher.
We recently tuned in to a stream with Casino Kings, and even tried the Play Together feature, which is all about knowing when to time your wager so you can win along with the streamer, rather than lose. Unfortunately there’s no live chat feature within the PlayFame platform, so it feels less truly social than MyPrize.us, but often the creators will be running the same stream on another platform like YouTube, where chat will indeed be enabled.
Top Sweepstakes and Social Casino Influencers
Now, let’s take a look at a list of some of the most popular influencers in the realm of sweepstakes and social casinos.
It’s worth noting that most of these creators play and stream from real money casinos, as well as sweepstakes ones, so you’ll likely find both types of content on their channels. We’ll focus on the latter, of course.
Lady Luck HQ (affiliated with Chumba and LuckyLand Slots)
Lady Luck (with her husband) has over 800,000 followers on YouTube, which should tell you she’s one of the most popular creators in this whole space. VGW, operator of Chumba and LuckyLand, secured a major promotional asset by partnering with her, and she goes live on YouTube playing slots like Merlin’s 10K Ways and Banana Town, as well as scratchcards.
Brian Christopher Spins (affiliated with Chumba and LuckyLand Slots)
Brian Christopher is one of the biggest casino influencers and has been for a while now. He has various accounts and pseudonyms, but for his sweepstakes content, you’ll want to follow Brian Christopher Spins on YouTube.
With his wry sense of humor always in full force, Brian plays at Chumba and LuckyLand and has a weekly giveaway where you can win coins for both of those platforms.
Stacey's High Limit Slots (affiliated with PlayFame)
Stacey is one of the PlayFame creators you can play along with once logged into the platform. As mentioned above, you can hook your wagers into hers during a stream as she spins on slots like Raging Waterfall Megaways. Plus, you can always find out when her next stream is scheduled for by heading to the PlayFame Creators area.
Just like Lady Luck, Stacey’s husband gets involved in the videos too, so it’s something of a family vibe.
Jackpot Beauties (affiliated with PlayFame)
Ariana at Jackpot Beauties is another PlayFame-affiliated streamer who streams with her partner (Ron). Her voice is really easy to listen to, and she has a great bubbly personality. You can catch her on PlayFame or YouTube playing slots like Majestic Express Gold Run.
Slot Hopper (affiliated with McLuck and PlayFame)
Some streamers are affiliated with more than one sweepstakes casino, like Slot Hopper, who streams while playing at both McLuck and PlayFame. Saying that, those two casinos are part of the same company, B-Two.
McLuck does have a page dedicated to its roster of influencers and their best wins, but it still doesn’t have an on-site dedicated streaming area like PlayFame.
NG Slot (affiliated with McLuck & Hello Millions)
NG Slot is one of the biggest casino influencers, proven by his YouTube subscriber count of over 700,000. He even has his own app! NG places big bets at Hello Millions and McLuck, and sometimes gets lucky, like with this over 600x win on Sugar Rush in the video below.
Slot Queen (affiliated with Chanced and Punt)
Danielle Aragon is the Slot Queen, and she’s another creator who often features her family members on streams as they play games together. They’re affiliated with Chanced and Punt, and you’ll find them streaming online more frequently than others on this list.
HighStakesHugs (affiliated with Crown Coins)
Hugs is one of the smaller sweeps streamers currently, but is very active on Kick and YouTube, building his follower count with each video. He’s affiliated with Crown Coins and has a fun, infectious personality.
Casino Kings (formerly affiliated with PlayFame)
Casino Kings are Dan and Justin, two friends who like to spin. While this duo did play at PlayFame up till recently, that affiliation recently ended, making them free agents. Perhaps another sweeps casino could snap them up?
Considerations When Watching Casino Influencers – Closing Thoughts
Watching influencers play sweepstakes casino games can be entertaining, but it’s also a marketing strategy. Streamers earn from the platforms they promote, and their content is designed to keep you engaged, so it pays to keep the following in mind:
- Some creators play with their own money, but many don’t. There are a few different types of deals when it comes to casinos and content creators, but it’s often the case that a casino will assume at least some of the risk, or fully provide coins to play with. Basically, if a streamer’s wagers seem too big to be reasonable, it’s likely they’re not playing with their own money, and while some creators will point this fact out, many don’t disclose it. So it’s important to remember: just because a streamer is making big bets, it doesn’t mean you should too. Big wins look impressive, but if it’s not their own money, they’re not taking on the same level of risk as a normal player would.
- Affiliate links are how many influencers make money. When you sign up or deposit using their code or link, they may receive a commission. This isn’t inherently bad, in fact it’s a great way to support your favorite influencers, but you should understand that they have a financial incentive to have you sign up and spend money on a platform.
- You should also be aware when influencers are creating highlight reels or edited videos, rather than streaming live. Yes, live streams can generally be trusted, but anything else is likely to have been edited to show the best wins, so you shouldn’t expect the same win rate as one of these videos. Good streamers will generally make it clear when they’ve edited video into a win compilation or highlights.
Watching casino streamers can be a great way to discover new slots, enjoy the highs and lows of the experience, and feel part of a wider community. That being said, it’s important to keep in mind that what you’re seeing is often polished entertainment, so always stay smart and play within your limits!
