Once known as “the Spam King” for getting in trouble with Microsoft, Scott Richter is a gambling content creator with a popular YouTube channel, The Big Jackpot. He uploads vlogs playing slots at various casinos around the US and has a similar channel called Raja Slots. As of 2024, The Big Jackpot has an estimated net worth of $1 million.
Background
Born on July 18, 1971, in Virginia, Scott Richter began his career in online marketing alongside his father, Steven Richter. Though much of his early life remains private, he gained notoriety as the CEO of OptInRealBig.com before transitioning to other ventures like Media Breakaway.
Scott was also linked to other companies, including Affiliate.com and Dynamic Dolphin. Richter marketed himself as an advisor, PR expert, and online marketing professional. However, the firms he was involved with were revealed to be major email spammers.
Spam King History
At one point, his companies were sending out over 100 million unsolicited advertisements around the world. Because of this, Scott was recognized as “the Spam King” and was one of the 100 spammers recognized by the spam tracker organization ROKSO.
In 2003, he was sued by Elliot Spitzer and got into a big lawsuit with Microsoft in 2005. His business OptInRealBig.com filed for bankruptcy protection due to the lawsuit and later settled with Microsoft for $7 million.
Scott then set up Media Breakaway, an internet marketing company. However, in 2007, they got into legal trouble again. The social network MySpace sued them for allegedly obtaining access to member accounts. MySpace got $4.8 million in damages and got their attorney fees covered as well.
Road to Redemption
Scott’s spamming activities are long gone and has transitioned to casino vlogging. He started his main YouTube channel in 2015 and called it “The Big Jackpot”. Richter also created a Twitch channel but hasn’t had much traction on that platform.
He live streams casino gameplay, winning and losing in slot games across the US. What began as a hobby has taken him by surprise and it’s become a full-time career. Now, he’s one of the leading casino YouTubers along with the likes of Brian Christopher Slots, NG Slot and Lady Luck HQ.
With his growing fanbase, Scott expanded his brand by launching The Big Jackpot gambling app and selling merchandise. His main channel boasts 614,000 subscribers, while his second channel, Raja Slots, has 92,700 subscribers.
Net Worth and Earnings
Despite previous legal issues, Scott is back on track after losing millions of dollars. He is building up his wealth again based on a passion. Richter makes an estimated $10,000 per month from YouTube ad revenue and over $120,000 in annual income.
There’s also his undisclosed earnings from his mobile app, merchandise and cruises. The Big Jackpot earns extra income from Patreon and has 1,976 monthly subscribers. Plus, occasionally he wins jackpots but it’s not enough to cover his losses. Scott’s net worth is estimated to be $1 million.
Personal Life
Scott Richter keeps his personal life relatively private. He previously dated fellow casino vlogger Jackpot Jackie Slots, but the couple split due to differing views on starting a family. The 27-year-old content creator is on the rise and attracting attention due to her beauty. While little is known about his past relationships, Richter has twin sons.
