Hackers Stole Our YouTube Channel - Please Help Us Recover!!

Hi I’m Jason Rzucidlo. I’m a reporter and editor and I’ve been friends with Danielle and Steve for many years and they are two of the kindest, most generous people I’ve ever known. I moved to Henderson, Nevada after living in metro Detroit most of my life. I spend time with Danielle and Steve every time they are in Las Vegas for their filming trips. You can easily see how much they enjoy filming and interacting with their viewers! Seeing them go thru this horrible situation really breaks my heart. Please help them out if you can! 

In August 2020, Danielle and Steve started their YouTube channel called Slotty D, which then changed into Vegas Action (YouTube.com/@VegasAction) at the end of 2022.

Danielle and Steve are middle-aged, hardworking “average” people who love Las Vegas, gambling on the tables, pets, friends, their families, and their viewers. They have placed a huge importance on being ‘real’ in their videos, playing real money at real casinos, and developing real friendships with their viewers. They reply to every comment and show pictures of fans/friends in their videos. They built their channel with fun editing, fun jokes, and real connections with their viewers, and of course, showing the reality of gambling—the good, the bad, and the ugly on the tables. They celebrated their big wins and grinded through the lumps of horrific sessions.

They have always been helpful to new channels needing advice and always willing to pay it forward with the things they learned along the way on YouTube.

Their dream is to be able to create content for a living full-time, do more live streams, and move to Las Vegas where table game filming is allowed at some casinos. They built their Vegas Action YouTube channel up to almost 32,000 subscribers and growing more by the day. Their channel is known for integrity and transparency. They are also very generous—each month donating their revenue from their Channel Members for a Live Scratch Ticket Giveaway open to every viewer.

But on Wednesday, April 23, those dreams have been hijacked. Literally. Hackers hijacked the channel and turned Danielle and Steve’s lives upside down. They contacted YouTube shortly after they were hacked, but the hackers did a live stream later that night and YouTube shut the channel down. 

They really need your help to get back on their feet. They invested many thousands of dollars, depleting their life savings in hope that their channel could be their retirement and dream job.

Update: YouTube restored their channel on May 23 but they have sustained huge losses from their time off of YouTube. And their channel is needing repair from YouTube support from the hacking. Things are missing and other issues.

If you love their videos, love their personalities, have smiled/laughed while watching their videos, and/or made them a part of your nightly routine—please consider donating here.

If you cannot afford to or don’t want to, that’s okay. Please give them a sub on their Vegas Action channel and watch some videos! Everything helps! 

Danielle and Steve are always available (just like they have been for years) to answer your questions at their Facebook page – Facebook.com/VegasAction.
