If in the Twitch ToS that this activity is prohibited, it will definitely be banned, but it could be banned even though it does not violate the ToS if many report and consider content such as gambling to have a bad impact.
Twitch is already one of the platforms used by many streamers and this gives their business an advantage if they ban gambling content it will have an impact on they earnings so in my opinion as long as there are no reports and complaints of gambling content on Twitch will persist

Too early for Twitch to be something that the government will interfere to this issue. This is not like Twitter where almost everyone is there. Too bad for gamblers to fall for what the streamers are saying and scamming them.
The Twitch CEO I think can do something to stop these streamers but they might be afraid they'd also lose users for censoring this early. That's the dilemma to face.
According to what I have read, gambling content particularly slots are permitted to be streamed on twitch. I think they don't have a rule in their terms of service that states an outright ban or suspension for those creators of gambling streaming content. This is why there are a lot of streamers on gambling games that share their content in twitch since it is a platform that caters their interest, and do not really have a strict regulation or limitation of content creations topic.
Perhaps twitch will just be alarmed and will make necessary actions the moment they will be called out by many in other platforms. Since they are profiting with what their streamers are doing, there's a big chance that they will just let this kind of cases to slide unless there's an urge for them to make a step to put such things into halt. Personally, I don't really get why streamer like Sliker will still ask to borrow money, most especially from his viewers because he makes a decent income for sure in streaming his content and therefore he shouldn't be soliciting from his followers. This just shows how addicted he is in gambling and how he handles his financial matters which is not really a role model specifically to the younger generations lurking around twitch platform.

Twitch has turned into a cesspool of gambling addicts and gambling pushers. Do you think it's a responsible content creation & moderation on a platform which is used by teens, kids, and young adults?
Will this be the straw that will finally break the Camel's back and will force Twitch to ban gambling streams?
I hope it does.

That is what it turned into right now. As long as it amasses views, streamers will do anything, with no restrictions. They do not mind if it will have a negative effect on their viewers or whether kids will be following and copying their actions.
But I do not think that Twitch will do anything about it unless there are mass reports on this kind of content. Twitch is still a business and if it is earning money from it then it will continue. They will do nothing unless the community forces them to do something about it.
Well one, I don't think asking for money and failing to repay them is a problem for twitch, it's actually just a problem for the streamer itself and afaik, twitch accepts gambling streams in of itself, which I would assume has some sort of moderation towards showing it to accounts that have kids age (which ofc, can easily be bypassed but that's another thing). Two, this issue better be blown to proportions before we see twitch actually taking action. Proportions to the level where they would investigate the streamer legally at that point.
Seeing lots of people I know have their lives go downhill after being involved with drugs. Was the best motivation for me staying away from drugs. I don't understand how some try not to learn from the life mistakes of others.
Curiosity I guess? Never really had it though but it's probably the only thing children would have when it comes to something their parents keep them away from without actually explaining it in terms that they could udnerstand. 
Seeing so many twitch streamers fall prey to gambling addiction and become real life representatives for the negative darkside of gambling.
Wouldn't it be better to expose as many youth to them as possible. To encourage them to take a different path in life.
I'm curious as to how this works. If children walk down the street and see drug addicts on street corners. Would that encourage them to not be a drug addict? Or does it become socially normalized?
If youth on twitch see gamblers have personal problems and disorders related to gambling. Would it make them less likely to gamble? Or would they choose to follow in the footsteps of gambling addicts?

Twitch doesn't care unless they are called out by a lot of their streamers on Twitter. So long as it does not break their terms and they are still making loads of money from that streamer, they won't take an action. The heads of Twitter doesn't seem to care about the community at all, given the amount of scandals their platform produced from streamers and a lot of negative reviews against the management of the streaming platform. I think a lawsuit will help Twitch to start to listen to their patrons once and for all, but there isn't anything to throw at them, really.
Silker is a Twitch streamer and would use his influence & position to ask for money from his viewers, other streamers, friends, etcetra. Then he would gamble away all of this borrowed money on sports betting. Mostly tennis matches lol

It's gonna be tricky though, I try to search for the keyword gambling in their TOS and nothing comes up,
https://www.twitch.tv/p/en/legal/terms-of-service/
But it says:
Quote
xvii. use the Twitch Services for any illegal purpose, or in violation of any local, state, national, or international law or regulation, including without limitation laws governing intellectual property and other proprietary rights, data protection, and privacy.
So it seems that there is no clear violation as far as their TOS goes for this gambling streamers. And if the company is making millions if not billions due to the crypto boom, then it might be very hard for them to just shut it down. And for sure if they do that, there could be another streaming services that will pop up and then the cycle continues. Unless they are going to review first those live streams and then stop it right away before it got views.
Although this is not the first time that they have to do with something illegal if I'm not mistaken. There was some controversies about the "skins gambling" in CS:GO.
I'm not sure about the terms and conditions of the Twitch. Based on that it is quite an easy thing for the Twitch team to stop users from creating and broadcasting their contents. For now gambling is getting popular around and Twitch got importance for its scheduled streaming and different giveaways. As one of the user stated, people will move towards other forms of streaming opportunities.

If we do speak about ethical or not then it would always boils down on someones perspective,view or opinion.It isnt really just right that you would be having that sort of online begging
just for you to make out some sports betting.
Somehow, these people wont make out to have some bets if there were no people been sending some money.

I used to be a Twitch user but I dropped it and turned to Youtube and Dailymotion because of the lack of useful content it's a good hub for streamers and those who love streams love to be here, this has become one of the channels for streamers because of the interaction between streamers and followers, and on about borrowing money on his followers that too much they are making money from their stream sponsoring they don't have to do that, they will lose their reputation and followers and streamers abuse his followers.

Twitch should be responsible enough and take a stand and decide if this is what they want on their platform, they should at least limit these streamers or penalized if they abuse their followers.Quote

If what you've mentioned is an isolated case, they may not ban it, Twitch thrives on gambling streaming and they have gambling streams too on Youtube.I hope it does.
