why do YouTube casino reviewers all seem to be sponsored

saw a bunch of new casino review vids popping up and every other one says “not sponsored” but then they hit you with some crazy bonus code link in the description. i’m not trying to call anyone a liar, i just don’t get how they’re all playing high stakes and spinning non-stop if it’s just for “educational purposes”. even in blackjack runs, they’ll lose a grand and just reload like it’s nothing.

feels a bit off when you know how slow real play can get, especially with blackjack or roulette. i know sponsorships keep their channels alive but it makes it impossible to tell if the reviews are honest or just promo stuff. i keep wondering if anyone actually finds these reviews trustworthy or if folks just watch for the entertainment. maybe i’m just overthinking it - stats are my crutch, so i like things transparent. would be good to hear what others think about it.
