See To hide the table of contents
For some time, gambling has been a strong presence on the Twitch streaming platform. Many streamers have made it their job and highlight this type of content, which becomes more and more normal in the eyes of the community. Opinions are divided and, while Teufeurs will have to stop their lives following the shock news from Twitchall these content creators are going to have to find a solution.
There are dishonest streamers
Twitch star Felix “xQc” Lengyel thinks the platform should ban gambling streams, even if he has already participated regularly. According to him, other streamers cannot be trusted to talk openly regarding their losses. Even though gambling has been a fixture on Twitch for years, it has always been a controversial topic within the streaming community.
Whether it’s loot boxes or using online casino sites to play slots and card games, many big name streams have been involved in the broadcast gambling-related content. Many others have asked Twitch to eliminate these kinds of streams or at least limit them.
He has already participated in many casino streams, but he has always been very clear regarding the number of hours he was forced to stream and how much money he had wagered on his referral code.
Pokimane also wants these streams to end
Pokimane, one of the platform’s most popular streamers with more than 4 million Instagram followers, has called for an end to casino streaming. His community and other great figures on the platform have joined him on this subject.
If Twitch still hasn’t banned gambling streams by Christmas week, we should get a bunch of streamers together, and everyone go on strike.

His decision to organize this strike comes following another streamer on the platform, Sliker, revealed to have demanded money from subscribers to fuel his gambling addiction. A move that would be exceptional for Twitch, given that there has only been one other strike, in 2021, to combat cyberbullying.
