Szymool on Gambling, Community, and Live-Streaming

Gamers, particularly those who know how to leverage their personalities to cater to a wide audience, have popularized the idea of live-streaming their content across websites like Kick and Twitch. The personal connection with the streamer, combined with the live format of video, often makes for an engaging, even intimate setting, where people can connect, chat, and sit back and relax.

Szymon Besser, widely known online as “Szymool,” is one of these streamers. As a recognized gambling-focused content creator from Europe, he has been streaming high-stakes casino gameplay live to audiences for years, showcasing not just real-money gambling, but the transparency and entertainment behind it.

As a high-stakes casino streamer, Szymool has built a community across websites like Kick, Twitch, and a personal Discord server, all of which cater to fans of live gambling. He is recognized throughout the live-stream gambling community not only for his big bets and wins, but also for the reactions that come as a result of them.

The Inspiration Behind Live-Video Streaming

Szymool’s involvement in gaming and gambling started organically. Through the combination of natural risk tolerance, entertainment instincts, and an ability to engage with large live audiences, he was able to develop a system that allowed him to create a thriving community as an online gambling personality.

“Over time, this evolved into a professional operation where gambling content became both a personal brand and a business engine,” Szymool says.

This brand has evolved into a community of like-minded people who not only enjoy gambling, but also the camaraderie that is formed alongside the games.

Scrutiny in the Online Gambling Space

Despite the following he has developed, there is some scrutiny that comes with creating gambling content, which oftentimes is multifaceted. Not only does he face scrutiny from viewers who may not approve of his tactics, but he also faces the pressure that comes from live-streaming on platforms, as well as regulatory complexity and the volatility that comes with gambling.

“I have navigated these challenges while continuing to grow my audience, secure high-level partnerships, and maintain relevance in one of the most competitive online niches,” Szymool shares.

Building Community Through Gaming

Despite this scrutiny, Szymool understands that the platform he has amassed through his online gambling streams comes in part from the followers who log on to view his streams.

“My audience watches real money, real decisions, and real consequences,” Szymool says. “This authenticity, combined with [a] strong on-camera presence, makes my content highly engaging and widely recognizable.”

This authenticity, which stems from visceral and emotional live reactions, has often come during his most viral of moments, when he experienced extreme wins, as well as deep losing streaks, all in front of a live audience.

Future Aspirations and Visions

While Szymool has already built a following across his social media platforms, he aims to continue solidifying his position as a gambling personality in Europe while expanding his business portfolio to other ventures. However, at the end of the day, Szymool knows that his gambling content is still something viewers flock to.

“It remains a core pillar of my brand and audience growth,” he says.
