Things never seem to calm down on Twitch, the live broadcast platform. In recent years, money laundering on Twitch has kept the public very busy. Allegedly, this time publishers are taking advantage of a gap in advertising revenues. According to this, Broadcasters with few viewers earn more than usual earnings. To what extent are the events that were previously on the agenda of the Turkish Grand National Assembly now? Details are in our special news…
Fake audience, real money!
According to the old money laundering method on Twitch; through a publisher contracted person receives large donationsHe returned some of the money to the person he agreed with. The biggest factor in why this incident constituted a crime was the source of the money transferred as donations. According to the findings, the source of the money was stolen credit cards. Allegedly, publishers laundered millions of liras using this method.
At that time, many people were detained as a result of the operation of the Istanbul Cyber Crimes Department. Although we do not have clear information at the moment due to the confidentiality decision in the case, according to reports, there is no ongoing arrest on the subject.
They found a new way to launder money on Twitch!
Nowadays, it is claimed that some publishers have resorted to different methods. In this method, partner publishers continue their broadcasts by inserting an advertisement every 15 minutes. The more ads are watched, the more money publishers make.
At this point, so-called sponsors come into play. By buying fake viewers for the broadcasters they have an agreement with, they ensure that the broadcasts are watched more statistically. In this way, the publisher’s advertising revenues are 10 times higher than normal.
Twitch announced: Censorship is coming to adult content!
Twitch announced its new censorship feature that will prevent users from seeing adult content with its new update released today.
To give an example of earnings, a normal broadcaster earns approximately 20 TL advertising revenue from a 4-hour broadcast. For the broadcasters in question, this figure is 350 TL. When we look at the fake tracker prices, purchasing 750 fake trackers per month costs approximately 6 thousand TL. With this number of viewers just from ads It is possible to earn approximately 17 thousand liras. When the fee charged per view is included, the price can rise considerably.
Of course, the first question that comes to mind in this scenario is; Why does anyone sponsor a less-watched broadcaster? And why does it help that publisher make money? Allegedly, these sponsors also have their own interests. This interest is to ensure that their products stand out on the platform. It should not be forgotten that publishers can use this method without needing a sponsor.
