twitch expanding gambling stream bans streamers moving to kick?

Hextech.40 · Jun 6, 2025

twitch just banned streams for stake, blaze, gamdom and bunch of other sites. gambling viewership already down 75% from previous bans. streamers all moving to kick now

kick basically becoming gambling streaming platform since they allow what twitch banned

good riddance fr those gambling streams were straight up targeting kids with fake money and sponsored content

mixed feelings honestly. hate predatory gambling content but also seems like censorship. where does platform moderation end?

fluffy · Jun 6, 2025

FINALLY! so tired of seeing gambling streams when just trying to watch cute gaming content. totally inappropriate

aviator · Jun 6, 2025

problem is kick is way shadier than twitch. at least twitch had some oversight, kick is basically unregulated wild west

Platform migration predictable. Gambling content creators will concentrate on platforms with permissive policies. Regulatory arbitrage across streaming services.

twitch pretending to be moral while taking cut of every other questionable stream

callmenick · Jun 6, 2025

most "gambling" streamers were using fake money provided by casinos. basically elaborate advertisements targeting young viewers

honestly gonna miss some of those streams. was entertaining watching people win and lose massive amounts even if it was fake

mate that's exactly the problem. making gambling look entertaining to kids who dont understand its fake money

significant step toward protecting minors from gambling marketing. casino-sponsored streams were effectively unregulated advertising to vulnerable demographics

my younger brother used to watch those streams constantly. definitely influenced him to start gambling when he turned 18

@cat3rpi11ar exactly why ban makes sense. kids watching "streamers" win millions then thinking gambling is easy money

viewership migration to kick creates concentration risk. less regulated platform now hosting majority of gambling content with minimal oversight

gamebandit39 · Jun 6, 2025

kick's whole business model is taking content twitch won't allow. gambling, controversial stuff, basically anything for views

@gamebandit39 which is why this ban might backfire. pushing gambling content to platform with zero safety measures

fluffy · Jun 6, 2025

at least twitch TRIED to protect kids bb!! kick literally doesn't care about anything except money

Patrick777 · Jun 6, 2025

proper difficult situation. support protecting children but also worried about driving content underground to dodgier platforms

Peter33 · Jun 6, 2025

twitch made right call even if implementation isn't perfect. gambling streams were clearly targeting minors with gambling advertising
