Carsten “ELoTRiX” “felt it” however, to share an offer with his Twitch stream that he received from a role-playing server for GTA 5 Online. It was said to be a total of 600,000 euros. However, the deal was “not quite clean,” said the streamer.
Who is the streamer?
- ELoTRiX is ranked 27th among the top Twitch channels in Germany. He has about 6,700 viewers on average and currently has nearly 1.4 million followers.
- When the streamer is not chatting with his community, he plays Call of Duty, League of Legends, or a round of Mario Kart 8.
- He was one of the first major YouTubers in the shooter genre and many talked about the 30-year-old back then. ELoTRiX particularly stood out with his energetic style and humorous commentary.
- Now the Twitch streamer spoke about a deal that the server “Grand RP” from the game GTA 5 had offered him. It was said to involve 600,000 euros.
This is what the GTA-5 deal looked like
What kind of server is this? On the GTA-5 server Grand RP, anyone can join who registers for free. Role-plays are played using voice chat, leading to the formation of gangs, friendships, and jobs. MontanaBlack has also promoted the server and provided an insight into the events in a YouTube video.
What did the server’s offer look like? Grand RP wanted to pay ELoTRiX for playing on the server and streaming the gameplay. Initially, he was to host 3 streams and play for 2 hours on Grand RP as a trial. For this, he would have received 18,000 euros.
If enough people registered on the server through ELoTRiX’s link, it would have turned into a yearly deal that would have looked like this:
- 10 streams per month.
- Each stream must show 2 hours of gameplay on Grand RP.
- He would have received 50,000 euros for a month.
- In total, ELoTRiX would have earned 600,000 euros that year.
ELoTRiX was warned by friends before the deal
What did ELoTRiX say about the offer? The Twitch streamer admitted that he thought about the offer because it was a “crazy deal” (via YouTube). With the money, one could buy a property even after tax deductions and thus live off it in old age.
However, he was warned before the offer: “When that much money is on the table, something is always wrong.” ELoTRiX also stated that it was probably “not clean money,” but allegedly generated from money laundering.
Furthermore, there one would be “streamsniped,” meaning players watch where the streamer is currently, follow him, annoy him, or possibly kill him.
Another point of criticism from ELoTRiX was that he would indirectly be peddling loot boxes to his viewers, as one can purchase them for real money on the server, which provide in-game items. “I don’t feel any of that,” said the Twitch streamer afterwards.
He has enough money to live thanks to his community and does not need to accept such dubious offers. ELoTRiX is very grateful for that.
