Research Goals and Objectives
- Collection of Twitter accounts related to gambling topics;
- Popularity evaluation of Twitter accounts in the gambling community;
- Formation of a dataset that ranks gambling-related Twitter accounts.
Research Methodology
Twitter accounts were collected via open sources using the following search methods:- Open Google Search;
- Accounts search on Twitter itself;
- Twitter account collection via other social networks: YouTube, Facebook, Telegram, Discord, Instagram, Twitch, TikTok, and Reddit.
- Social Blade:
- Total Grade — a visual representation of the "Social Blade Rank" (or SB Rank), based on a particular account’s rating, compared to the rest of the database.
Disclaimers
The study contains accounts that take part in the formation of the gambling community. The study did not specifically collect gambling-only accounts. The list includes bloggers and streamers who write about gambling or are known to engage in gambling activities. The collected information does not claim absolute completeness and is intermediate in the planned research cycle.Conclusions
For the “Conclusions” section, the data is sorted into several groups as can be seen below. For details, see Addendum .

| Grade/Followers | <10k subs | 10k to 100k subs | 100k to 1m subs | >1m subs |
| TBD | 751 | 11 | 1 | 0 |
| D | 246 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| C | 664 | 76 | 0 | 0 |
| B | 0 | 172 | 108 | 9 |
| A | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
- “Total Grade B” dominates all “Followers” sections except for “<10k subs.” Most of the collected Twitter channels have sufficient social activity;
- “Total Grade A” is only presented in the “>1m subs” section. High social activity leads to an increase in the number of subscribers.
Future Goals and Extensions
- Search for account contact details;
- Search for advanced user engagement metrics;
- Account activity field categorization;
- Analysis of marketing trends and promotional flyers;
- Identification of regional affiliations;
- Showcase of advertising pricing models;
- Expansion of the general account list, as well as regional lists for Asia & Pacific, MENA.

- “10k - 100k” — accounts with over 10,000 but less than 100,000 followers;
- “100k - 1m” — accounts with over 100,000 but less than 1,000,000 followers;
- “>1m” — accounts with over 1,000,000 followers.
- “TBD” — remains the same;
- “D” — concatenates Total Grades with the following values: D+, D;
- “C” — concatenates Total Grades with the following values: C+, C, C-;
- “B” — concatenates Total Grades with the following values: B+, B, B-;
- “A” — concatenates Total Grades with the following values: A++, A+, A, A-.
- “DM” - Direct Messages, the ability to send private messages inside the platform.

- 113 accounts do not have a “Total Grade” indicator and are not taken into account for calculations.
