CasinoDaddy is a casino streaming group founded in 2016 by brothers Anton, Erik, and Mathias Joelsson. Based in Kristianstad, Sweden, they're one of the longest-running names in the space, and unlike a lot of solo streamers, they built an actual media business around it rather than relying on platform revenue alone.
The Joelsson Brothers
The three founding brothers each go by nicknames on stream: Mathias ("Masse"), the oldest, Anton ("Ante"), the middle brother, and Erik ("Ebro"), the youngest. They started streaming together in 2016 after years of betting on sports in their spare time. Casino affiliate marketing offered a bigger opportunity than sports betting content, and that's the direction they built the business around instead.
The lineup has expanded well beyond the three of them since. CasinoDaddy now runs as a rotating cast of streamers under one brand, including longtime co-host Erik "Jesus," among others. The roster shifts over the years as people join and move on, most recently Christoffer "Hugge" leaving the lineup earlier this year, so the format itself, multiple hosts taking turns behind the same channel, is the more reliable constant than any specific lineup.
From Streamers to Media Business
What sets CasinoDaddy apart from most casino streamers is the business structure behind it. The brothers operate through Joelsson Media Holding AB and run AboutSlots, their own affiliate and editorial site, alongside the streaming brand itself. That gives them a second revenue stream through search traffic and player referrals that doesn't depend on stream views or platform ad rates. It's part of why they've outlasted a lot of channels from the same era: a platform ban or a bad month of ad revenue doesn't threaten the whole business the way it would for a streamer with no other income stream.
Big Wins and Stream Style
CasinoDaddy streams are known for long sessions, often running 12 to 14 hours, and a preference for high-volatility slots that can swing hard in either direction and make for good viewing. That format has produced some huge public wins over the years. The biggest: in June 2022, team member Ogge (since departed from the lineup) hit €900,915 on Nitropolis 3 at Tusk Casino, a bonus buy that paid out at a 45,045.8x multiplier.
Bonus hunts are another signature format: the team saves up bonus rounds across dozens of slots on smaller bets, then opens them back-to-back in one live segment. They've also run subathons from time to time, extending a stream for as long as subs keep rolling in, another way the rotating cast format works in their favor since no single person has to carry the whole thing alone.
The "Fake Money" Question
Like most large slot streamers, CasinoDaddy has faced repeated questions about whether their play is genuinely their own money. It's worth separating two different things here: demo-mode play on fake software, and real-money slots funded through operator deposits or promotional balances tied to affiliate deals. CasinoDaddy's own material states they play with real money on real slot software, bound by the same wagering requirements as any other player. No public investigation has produced evidence of fake RNG or simulated balances on their flagship streams. The broader debate about how sponsorship and affiliate money shapes what viewers see applies across the casino streaming industry, not uniquely to CasinoDaddy.
Where to Watch
CasinoDaddy streams daily across Twitch and Kick, splitting emphasis between the two after Twitch tightened its policy on unlicensed gambling content in late 2022. They're a regular fixture among the top casino streamers on Kick. Beyond streaming, they also keep a strong presence on Instagram, sharing win clips and behind-the-scenes content between live sessions. A YouTube channel hosts highlight compilations and big-win clips for anyone who doesn't catch the live sessions.
