    On average, you can expect to lose roughly the same amount of money on bonus buys as you would from playing x number of equivalent spins. Some bonus buys, including Money Train 2, actually have higher RTP than playing spins. You pay for the potential and the guaranteed bonus - I am fine with only getting 50x back from a MT2 bonus, but some people don't like losing half their bet in a couple minutes.

    The dangerous part about bonus buys is that you risk money at a much faster rate than playing slots normally, and they can evaporate your bankroll fast. But based strictly on equivalent "coin in", some bonus buys are slightly better for the player, some are the same, and some are slightly worse. I'm mostly a table games/live casino player, and most slot base game spins bore me, so bonus buys are a way for me to go straight for the good stuff. Depending on the game, it's often less expensive for me to do a bonus buy in terms of expected value over the same period of time compared to live casino.

    I do agree that the stakes most streamers play at are way higher than most punters, perhaps unrelateably so for some, but streaming is an entertainment business, and hitting a €5k bonus is a lot more exciting than hitting a €1k bonus. Of course, there are limits, and the guys who consistently play €20+ stakes with fake money are arguably enriching themselves by promoting irresponsible gambling.

    i get that. i start at 40p, then if i win then i move up stakes to a max of £2.. that will be my limit lol

    Totally agree with this statement. I still regard £2 as a highroller spin for myself. I am not impressed by these ridiculous massive stakes now being used regularly by streamers as I cannot relate to them at all. I also think it's setting a bad example to viewers. And as an ordinary slots player a £2 per spin maximum will make no difference to me but I do understand that it may cost the streamers viewers and affiliate revenue. I think the max spin amount could be upped a bit to £5 or £10 if you can afford it.

    i agree, when you see all these big stakes, its not the normal world, normal people just play upto £2 a spin.. and i thought it was great that the UK banned bonus buys... i mean how often do people get there money back from them... look at money train2 one of the worse bonus buys ever. and when you see streamers buy them, really is a crap game, and i am glad UK cant buy them...
