For gaming creators
Stop scam comments on your gaming channel
Gaming audiences are large, young and used to giveaways, which makes them an easy target. The classic gaming comment scam is a fake giveaway: an account that looks like you announces a winner, or promises free in-game currency or skins, and sends viewers somewhere they hand over account details or money.
The scams aimed at gaming audiences
Fake giveaways from “you”
A lookalike account replies to viewers that they have won, or that a giveaway is live, and asks them to message a contact or visit a page to claim it.
How this scam works →“Free” currency and skins
Comments promising free in-game currency, skins or items through a generator or a “partner” site, which collects logins or payment details.
Account and contact grabs
Replies pushing a Discord, Telegram or WhatsApp contact for “trades” or “support”, often with the text disguised to slip past filters.
How this scam works →Bot waves on new videos
Bursts of near-identical comments right after you upload, while your viewers are most active.

RemoveSpam’s own removal data comes mostly from crypto, finance and tech channels, so this page describes scams that are common on gaming channels rather than quoting RemoveSpam figures for them.
Why your viewers end up blaming you
Many gaming viewers are young and believe a reply from “you” is real. When a giveaway turns out to be a scam, they and their parents remember your channel name, not the throwaway account that ran it.
Gaming communities also talk. A few public complaints that “I got scammed in their comments” can follow a channel for a long time.
What RemoveSpam does about it
RemoveSpam removes impersonating replies, disguised contact details and bot waves automatically, checking your newest video every minute.
Its pattern database is built mainly from crypto and finance channels. Gaming-specific scam wording is added as gaming channels join, and on Standard and PRO plans you can request custom filters for the scams you see. Every removal is listed in your dashboard so you can check what it catches on your channel during the trial.
Common questions
How do I stop fake giveaway comments on my gaming channel?
Tell viewers in a pinned comment that you never announce winners in replies or ask anyone to message you elsewhere, report impersonating accounts, and remove the replies as fast as possible. On a busy channel that last part needs to be automatic.
Does RemoveSpam work for gaming channels?
It removes the scam types gaming channels share with others, impersonation, disguised contact details and bot waves, and gaming-specific wording is added as gaming channels join. The trial shows exactly what it removes on your channel before you pay.
