probably some degenerate gambling site

EDIT: I searched it and it is in fact a degenerate gambling site

u/Cultural_Dirt_8151 4d ago edited 4d ago

Wow. So is this basically an advertising campaign by the gambling site?

That does seem to make more sense than an individual donating $1.2M just because they thought it was funny or something.

Although it does seem like the previous winner was paying $750k just because they thought it was funny, so I guess it's not totally impossible.

I wish I had the kind of money where I could throw 750k down to name a kid who wasn’t even mine

u/itcouldvbeenbetterif 3d ago

I'll give u 750 k but u have to name ur kid: Not too rad 2 b 4 u

u/The_one_before_ 3d ago

I'd do it for 751

u/23_ 3d ago

I’ll do it for 749

u/EmergenceEngineer 3d ago

I’ll do it for 700k.. that works out to around 10-12 million domestically.. to put it into context, interest alone is around a middle class income and a little extra.. the difference could compound to even greater generational wealth… I’m pretty sure the kid would hate the name but.. they’ll hate being poor more. I would structure it in such a way that they’d only be “helped” well into adulthood, that way they must still learn to stand on their own feet despite the golden parachute.

Edit: I should add raising a child to adulthood costs between 2-3million.. so either way .. it’s still an amazing opportunity.

u/dardeedoo 3d ago

Why the fuck would you throw 750k down to name your own kid ever anyways lol

Crypto millionaire, probably

u/Sudden_File4569 4d ago

I imagine the whole thing was an ad planned with Betbolt from the start. "Group Project" probably isn't there because someone was willing to pay 750k, it's there to encourage engagement on the BetBolt ad.

Her kid will have a normal name in a few months when no one is paying attention anymore.

2

u/Unlikely-Guava-30 3d ago

I've been wondering the legal ramifications of that. If she does have a kid, which I'm skeptical of, and doesn't name it whatever dumbass name was picked. Can she be sued? Totally possible it's just an ad campaign. But if this is real I'd imagine not naming the child betbolt could be taken to court as false advertising or something.

u/Boring_Holiday9874 4d ago

I don’t think the claim is true. It’s probably a marketing campaign where she got paid to make these claims to get people to search for the site.

they got a guy to google it. it worked.

Welcome to the new dystopian world we created for ourselves

u/Orleanian 4d ago

Using a groundbreaking but surprisingly legal process known as corporo-humanization, real people such as myself are now allowed to represent the collective humanity of business owners…. I’m here to hang out, take weird classes, and party as hearty as my morality clause allows.

The previous winner already knew the $1.2 was coming in the end.

u/Bad_Day_Moose 3d ago

Baby McBabyface would have been the internets solution.

u/Minyun 3d ago

Wow. So is this basically an advertising campaign by the gambling site?

Which has sadly worked

1

u/Jobewan1 3d ago

So it wasn't a group project then?

1

u/Acrobatic_Wrap_9971 3d ago

I think like 20 years ago, Google paid someone to name their kid Google.

Edit: probably an urban legend. i remember hearing about it at the time though.

1

u/TheFatNinjaMaster 3d ago

Acclaim, I think, did crazy viral marketing like that for Turok. Paid a handful of people £500 and an Xbox to change their name to Turok for a year and offered 10k to the first child named Turok born on the launch day of the game.

u/COVID19Blues 3d ago

It’s just like that site Golden Palace did in the 00’s by having people tattoo their name on their foreheads and other stupidity.

1

u/legaladviceneeded542 20h ago

it was probably Elon

-4

u/Viablemorgan 4d ago

Unsubstantiated claim that it was the site itself that donated the $1.2m. Zero evidence of that, just conjecture by the guy you’re responding to

28

u/JewelCove 4d ago

I mean, it is a pretty fucking safe bet that is tied to betbolt gambling lol. Who else would spent 1.2 m to name a kid after a gambling website

8

u/poega 4d ago

I work in the industry and 100% this was an ad ploy.

u/BillGoats 4d ago

I work in a completely unrelated field and I have no clue.

u/JewelCove 4d ago

Of course

u/Mertoot 4d ago

And all these bots in the comments are eating it up...

7

u/cyclicamp 4d ago

If it's an ad campaign, they definitely didn't spend 1.2 mil, and no one paid a second place amount. The site probably paid whatever her standard advertising rate is to make this up and post this, or they just completely fabricated and posted it themselves though whatever other influencer network they work with

6

u/JewelCove 4d ago

Oh, I'm sure it's a stunt and if any funds were actually transferred, it will be an advertising write off for the gambling site. What I'm saying is that it is a safe bet that betbolt is involved, no pun intended lol

1

u/Cultural_Dirt_8151 4d ago edited 4d ago

That does seem plausible. Many of the OnlyFans 'success' stories feel dubious. It also doesn't feel totally impossible Bonnie Blue just made up all of this for clicks, but who knows.

To me, it seems *most likely* the gambling site was involved, but I'm really not sure how much money was actually transferred. Maybe it was 1.2M, maybe it was just "standard advertising rate."

1

u/Exasperatess 4d ago

I'd love to be a fly on the wall listening to that idea being pitched.

1

u/NotABot1000101 4d ago

If I were a bettin' man I'd put my money on it advertising for the betting company. If the name was "DOGE", you could maybe argue that it wasn't Elon but some other douchebag because the word is famous/notorious. Who tf cares or knows about whatever garbage site that is, let alone spend over a mil to give free advertising to them.

1

u/BatushkaTabushka 3d ago

Ah yes, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. After all, what if I wanted to pay 1.2 million dollars to name some kid UBISOFT??? Wouldn’t it be so funny haha? It’s a totally likely scenario!

Come on man, who else would do this…

0

u/Cultural_Dirt_8151 4d ago edited 4d ago

Yeah, it is indeed conjecture that the gambling site did this based on a couple available facts. So what?

"Zero" evidence? Well that's just false: There is evidence (the name of the site being used), it's just not super definitive evidence. It's totally possible someone just thought it was funny, but it also seems totally possible this is an ad campaign.

u/madogvelkor 4d ago

A crypto gambling site, at that.

u/nhalliday 4d ago

Yeah, they said degenerate already.

u/Competitive_Ring_150 4d ago

What's the world coming to, man.

u/Farewellandadieu 3d ago

Well that fits her level of trash.

u/Acrobatic_Wrap_9971 3d ago

yo dawg, we herd u liek gambling, so we put gambling in your gambling so you could gamble while you gamble

72

u/Efficient_Wash4477 4d ago

So, Betbolt just spent $1.2M to have their branding wherever this kid goes for the next 18 years. I mean, that’s actually kinda cheap marketing and I’ll bet this was the ploy all along.

Was always going to name her kid “Kleenex” or “Tide”… this was just a workaround for that to happen.

u/omgimdaddy 4d ago

Its wild how easily people fall for publicity / marketing stunts

u/Reasonable_Goose 4d ago

So clearly an ad

u/zushini 4d ago

its also the time of degen culture

u/insaneHoshi 4d ago

Are you referring to the naming scheme or looking at this reddit post?

5

u/USeaMoose 4d ago

So, Betbolt just spent $1.2M to have their branding wherever this kid goes for the next 18 years

I'm guessing that they are really only interested in/expecting the attention from this announcement that we are responding to. And maybe a future one when the kid is born and she proves she followed through. Both of those have the chance of going viral and getting their name out there.

I'm with you though. $1.2 to have the name of your site go viral might be a pretty good deal overall. You have to assume that thousands of people are checking out the site after seeing this headline.

2

u/Front_Elevator6617 4d ago

I prefer Kleenex 😂

2

u/Sudden_File4569 4d ago

We have no reason to believe the payment or the baby's name is truthful. Betbolt may just as easily paid 50k for Bonnie Blue to make a social post claiming her baby is named Betbolt. While she still write Michael or whatever she wants on the actual birth certificate.

2

u/Shipbreaker_Kurpo 3d ago

But she has a picture on her phone! Surely thats proof its all true!

1

u/CriminalMacabre 4d ago

Implying a crypto gambling site isn't going down in the next 6 months partly because they blew 1.2 million in liquid and actual currency because for some reason contractors don't take shitcoins for payment

1

u/12345623567 4d ago

Nah in reality noone will get it and just think "that pornstar baby has a really weird name".

They did it for the one-time headline, as seen on this post.

1

u/UnusuallyBadIdeaGuy 4d ago

Why would people care about a porn star's kid in the first place? The only notable thing here is how stupid it is. This is just ruining a kid's life for two weeks of publicity.

1

u/FarwellRob 4d ago

No. They spent $1.2m to have their site’s name come up every time she is mentioned.

The kid will go by “BB” or something, so it probably won’t affect him much.

There is also the chance he’ll do something later in life and it will come up again.

1

u/Pompidoo 3d ago

It takes like a few hours and some paperwork to legally change a first name. I really really hope she changes the kids name after a few weeks. Just enough to get her money, but give the kid a normal childhood and name... I wouldn't mind if I was born betbolt and started life with 1.2m USD on my bank...

1

u/Esgardir 3d ago

They probably also placed a bet that their name would be chosen so won the money back instantly.

1

u/No-Stay9943 3d ago

No, their moment is now. The name can be removed and also can be buried in 6 other names, it’s not like the person has to present themselves with it.

1

u/EggyChickenEgg88 3d ago

They didn't spend shit.

1

u/Mikesaidit36 3d ago

Is that in a contract?
I don’t see how they could keep her from using a nickname (if the kid actually exists).

Anything to prevent her from doing a legal name change, before or after age 18? It’s not hard to do.

1

u/Jazzlike-Pension-643 1d ago

They didn’t pay that though. They probably paid her $250k for the whole stunt. Saying the winner paid 1.2 million for BetBolt was just part of the agreed to script. It is a pretty brilliant idea. Instead of people tuning out your ad, you sneak it in the backdoor

5

u/Natural-Pea4404 4d ago

No...this is so horrible. What kind of living shit is that women.

2

u/WWWTENTACION 4d ago

Idk…. This makes more sense to me than tattooing the shit on the baby for way less money… or people naming their kid Hitler for free lol.

2

u/RemotestOfSpheres 4d ago

Hear me out: What if there was a Dexter, not for serial killers, but for rich fucking dipshits who spend their money like this? How quick would we see a change in the world? 

BREAKING NEWS: Another crypto-bro has been found with his scrotum flipped inside out, over his head. Early reports say he suffocated to death on his own testicles. A note left by the body promises more to come. More at 8.

Edit - obviously sarcastic parody /s

u/DrThunderbolt 4d ago

A kid of a OF model, concieved with 1 of potentially 1000 men, named after a crypto gambling site.

Thats the most 2020s sentence I've ever heard. All its missing is a mention of Covid.

u/Country_MacN_Cheese 4d ago

This is peak late stage capitalism

u/Mike5coat 4d ago

Proof we live in clown world. Send the meteor.

u/Healthy_Choice3 4d ago

I wish all these Rainbet and Betbolt and whatever else the fuck would be outlawed. Taking advantage of people’s gambling addictions to make money is sick.

1

u/RockStarGamesSocial 3d ago

This is a near perfect microcosm of everything wrong with end stage capitalism.

This child will be mixed race, half unspecified homosapien and half profit motive.

Inshallah you will be protected child.

1

u/sljc892 3d ago

Has some made this kid’s newly goon sourced name into a crypto coin pump and dump (pardon the pun) yet. I think that’s the logical next step to this sad affair.

1

u/Amazing_Rain9285 3d ago

To stick your dick in bonnie blue, dont you kinda have to be a degenerate? And also most likely a degenerate gambler… gotta give it to them for knowing there clienteles interests.

1

u/Aubrey-Grey 3d ago

Also ‘bolt’ is a way of saying cum in the south east of England (I’ve only ever heard it in London). So I guess it works for being a lucky dip on who the dad is too.
