The 33-year-old Jens Heinz Richard Knossalla, better known under the pseudonym “Knossi“, is known throughout Germany as an entertainer and streamer. In the past we have reported several times about his exciting casino sessions, which were often associated with high losses, but sometimes also with impressive profits.\n\n\n After “Knossi” defended his activities for a long time and stated that he did not want to tempt you to play, he now seems to be going through something like a change of heart. In any case, the rumors are getting louder that the popular casino streamer with around 1.3 million followers on Instagram could soon stop his \u201cleisure activity\u201d. But what made the self-proclaimed \u201cKing of the Internet\u201d rethink and how is the scene going on now?\n\n\n\n When Jens Knossalla started playing on the Internet via a live stream several years ago, he probably had no idea how successful he would be with it. In the meantime, almost 1.5 million people have subscribed to the “Knossi” Twitch channel. Tens of thousands of gambling friends regularly watch the 33-year-old live as he plays with sometimes very high stakes in the online casino. Recently, however, the criticism has increased and “Knossi” was confronted with the accusation of seducing young people in particular to play.\n\n\n With casino streaming, the activities in the online casino are broadcast live to the viewers’ screens. This means that every viewer on the respective streaming platform (e.g. Twitch) can see how much the streamer is using, how much he is gaining or losing. Likewise, the reactions and emotions of the streamer themselves are usually shown so that the viewer can cheer on their own screen. As a rule, the casino streamers resort to popular online slot machines and invest an above-average amount of money to increase the tension factor.\n\n\n In a recently broadcast ZDF report, the \u201cfrontal21\u201d format dealt with the topic of gambling in connection with casino streaming. The ZDF primarily criticizes the fact that “Knossi” is not authorized to advertise gambling on Twitch and that its behavior encourages young men and women to play. Furthermore, there are (still) no deposit limits in many online casinos, so that especially people at risk of gambling addiction run the risk of losing large sums of money within a short time. While \u201cKnossi\u201d streams its activities in online casinos live, tens of thousands of people are watching and it is suggested to them that they can earn a lot of money with online gambling. Young people in particular are mostly exposed to the casino content on Twitch because they are not aware of the special opportunities and risks of online gambling. Much better education about topics such as gambling addiction and responsible gaming is required before entertainers like \u201cKnossi\u201d can play live in front of thousands of players for large sums of money.\n\n\n\n In the ZDF report, the neurologist Dr. Monica Vogelsang has his say. Specifically, she said: \u201cOnline streamers are dangerous for society. They simply represent a seductive situation that people who are susceptible to it start gambling, gamble more or even relapse again \u201d. Ultimately, “Knossi” earns from the loss of the recruited players. In some cases, the advertisers receive up to 50% of the losses that the players suffered. With these commissions alone, it is easy for casino streamers to finance their own stakes. It was only in September of this year that we reported on whether casino streamers really always win – with a surprising result.\n\n\nCriticism of Knossi\n\n\n
