Slot Streamer Steps Back From Gambling To Focus On Promoting It Full Time
Brayden Tolliver says the month off is for his wellbeing. His sponsor has confirmed that the month off is sponsored.
LOS ANGELES. The slot streamer Brayden Tolliver, who broadcasts to 840,000 followers as BonusBrayden, announced on Sunday that he is taking a month away from gambling for the sake of his mental health, and will spend it promoting gambling instead.
In a fourteen-minute video recorded in the passenger seat of a parked car, Tolliver, 27, said the decision was “a long time coming” and asked viewers to respect his privacy. Pinned beneath the video was a link to Glimmerchain, the crypto casino that sponsors his channel, and a code for 150 free spins.
I’m stepping away from the reels. I’m not stepping away from you guys, and I’m not stepping away from the code.
His manager, Tasha Lindqvist, said the break had been planned for months and is written into his sponsorship agreement, which pays a higher rate for what it calls wellness content. The contract classes any stream in which someone else presses the button as non-gambling.
The month off, as scheduled
- Mondays: a watch party of other streamers’ bonus buys, six hours
- Wednesdays: “Slots I Would Be Playing,” four hours
- Fridays: viewers’ biggest wins, read aloud
- Sundays: rest, streamed live
Tolliver returns to the reels on December 2 with a special broadcast marking thirty days away from gambling. It will open with a $10,000 bonus buy.
