$500,000 just for FUT?

On the podcast “The Eavesdrop Podcast” by Hector “H3CZ” Rodriguez, CEO of OpTic Gaming, the guest was Castro1021 on August 7, 2022.

About halfway through the episode, it’s about pack pulling. Castro explained in the episode that he loves to draw packs in FIFA. However, the 31-year-old stressed that he finds it nicer to open physical cards that you actually own afterwards.

Nevertheless, Hector asked a question that is of burning interest to many fans.

How much money have you invested in packs?

To this question, Castro inaccurately responded with values of several hundred thousand dollars. When Hector tries to follow up and wants Castro to tell him if it could be $500,000, Castro responded with:

I don’t really know but it could be.

Even though we can’t say for sure by his answer that Edwin Castro invested half a million dollars in FIFA Packs, we can certainly state one thing:

So many FIFA Packs have been opened on the Twitch channel Castro_1021 that Castro thinks it’s more than realistic that around $500,000 was spent in the process.

Big BUT

Castro then deflected to what he considered a “better” question.

We’d better talk about how much I took in.

Castro unfortunately didn’t provide an answer to this question, but he did clarify an important point. FIFA streamers or streamers who play other games that you can spend a lot of money on usually make more money from their streams than they put into the game. Because that’s exactly what it is for them. An investment that normally yields a profit.

Spectators, therefore, should not copy this. It is certainly okay to put money into a game that you enjoy. However, you should always keep in mind that this money will be gone afterwards. Therefore, keep an eye on your finances and don’t overdo it.

What you should also keep an eye on is our FIFA category. From now on you will find regular content about FIFA 23 here. Also check out our FUTastic TikTok channel.
