Back in the 1990s and 2000s, big-name brands would seek out any celebrity with mass appeal to help advertise their products. However, with the rise of social media, all that changed. Today, commonfolk can garner a massive audience quickly and rake in sizeable sponsorship deals from multimillion-dollar companies. Influencer marketing is now all the rage, as 65% of advertising personnel claim that their influencer spending increases dramatically year on year.
Many not into interactive gaming may think – how can gamblers build an internet following? Well, they can do so by streaming their online sessions and showing off a great deal of charisma while spinning reels or playing hands at live blackjack tables. Online casinos are also rising in popularity, so gambling operators are wise to the latest marketing trends, and they hire influencers to play on their sites to promote them. So, let us review the ten most established names in this niche.

As the latter, Roshtein also likes to make gameplay videos of himself enjoying the Gears of War and Call of Duty franchises.
Xposed
Cody Burnett is a Canadian gaming streamer that loves Call of Duty and goes by the online nickname Xposed.
