The harm of risk, we will endeavor to wrap every person in cotton wool to prevent any possible negatives from real life. A load of nonsense that is repeated continually in modern life, gambling is normal. Far better is to act positively and teach all people how to money manage their budgets in multiple ways, credit cards do far more damage then the concept of risk and gambling on that risk.

Twitch is just one of hundreds of tools for promoting gambling sites. Obviously this is not good for casino promotion, but I think it is still just a drop in the ocean of possibilities when it comes to crypto gambling promotion. I think this decision will have very little, if any, impact.
Casinos who are into twitch sponsorship through its streamers, they can easily pull it out. I also think that the impact is going to be little and for such casinos, they can look to other medias where they can advertise.On the end of twitch, this is also nothing to be considered.
Of course. Casinos have specific budgets that they spend on advertising each month. If the budget does not change, the money will simply be transferred to the ad fee elsewhere. If the casino thinks well and chooses a good new ad space, then with a bit of luck it may have an even better effect in terms of the effectiveness of crypto gambling promotion.

Streamers are very creative people..... they will find ways to bypass these restrictions. So imagine this scenario.... the Streamer creates a personal website or an account on his/her social media platform and encourage the people to go there.... when they get there, they are presented with hidden url's to fake review pages ...where the Streamer link his/her ref link to that Url. 
What about a green screen ...flashing their referral name on a demo video .... they say nothing... they just show "demo" movies.
(Example : A video of their big win.. that are stored on Youtube... where the Youtube video have the referral link)

It is a good thing. Twitch is making a big impact on young gamers and they just want to clean it up.
It's not about taking away jobs from people but more about protecting the minds of the younger people to avoid bad habits when they grow up.
In the gambling industry, this will have a bad and good effect.
Good - it will take away the doubts of gamblers from betting sites sponsoring these players/vloggers with fake reactions when they win the game.
Bad - more in the financial side.

There are no impact gamblers rely more on forums and Youtube for daily updates about their favorite gambling sites Twitch is just an alternative venue, I'm not into Twitch and I don't know their popularity, this is the only thread that mentioned Twitch and gambling, most Youtube, blogs, and gambling directories, it's their loss anyway content provider will return to Youtube.

Does this apply to bookies as well, or pure gambling only? What about poker sites, for instance?Quote

I don't use twitch, so it's hard to assess the potential impact from the outside. How popular are crypto casinos specifically when it comes to sponsorships on Twitch, for example? If the streamers are largely promoting fiat casinos, it's not going to affect the crypto gambling negatively. That being said, I found an interesting read on the topic. Taking it into account, I guess Stake.com might be hit pretty hard by this new policy, as it was a top streamer's main sponsor, and the crypto gambling market might suffer overall, as, apparently,

Twitch is in the middle of a gambling boom, fueled by the rise of so-called “crypto casinos”—websites where gamblers can purchase cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum for use in digital games of chance like slots, blackjack, and baccarat. And sites like Stake and Roobet are paying popular streamers to play the casino games on their channels, sometimes offering tens of thousands of dollars an hour, according to streamers and experts interviewed by WIRED.

I don't see any other impact on crypto gambling with that restriction. Content creators can simply stream on other platforms like Facebook and YT and they're going to post those links and referrals there.
Well, these streamers will find a way to at least still give that exposure to their sponsors through their videos if they have a deal with them.

I don't think this will have a big impact on crypto gambling because it's just a way for twitch to protect its users and streamers from scam gambling platforms. As we all know, there are a lot of phony online platforms out there, so this is just a way for twitch to protect its users and streamers. Quote

Gamblers on streaming platforms make up a small percentage of the audience because the majority of them are there for the content or to witness outstanding gameplay, not to gamble.
I'm a Twitch streamer and a supporter of my favorite and popular streamers; my personal objective is to watch them play, and I believe my other Twitch buddies have the same aim.

From what i've seen a lot of streamers were promoting crypto casinos so there's definitely an impact but I feel like this change doesn't have that much effect because they could still promote their links indirectly by using a different platform like discord for example. I guess it's a step in the right direction for twitch as a lot of viewers are against gambling streams but they need to put in more restrictions if they really want to stop scams for good.
I guess, twitch doesn't want to associate themselves for potentially scam platforms with high number of negative feedbacks. They are only protecting their image so to speak. Because these popular streamers can always find a way how to reach out their followers. Remember, in this digital age, there are countless social media platforms that they can promote if they want to.

For everyone's good and safety, to avoid scam casino with fake promotions, I think it's still fine, the important thing is that the slots and gambling still exist in twitch category, maybe this is a loss for some content creators in the slot category because they have to delete the content and stop promoting their refferal code.

Yes there will be a huge impact on affiliates that are using Twitch but not much in gambling in general, there's still a lot of venues where affiliates can promote their respective and favorite gambling sites, Youtube, Google ads, and blogging are still the most used tool by affiliates
on the other hand affiliates will lessen or stop providing content that deals with gambling and just transfer to other similar sites like Twitch.
August 14, 2021, 06:40:48 PM
The rate of scam gambling sites keep increasing as the day goes by and I might not blame them much for their decisions. But prohibiting shared links or referral codes to sites that offer slots , roulette, or dice games will not cause any impact on crypto casinos because streamers has till 17th of August and certainly a new option will however emerge. It's a digital society and I see this as room for other hidden streaming sites to Emerge.
I am not sure what option are you referring to? as most crypto casinos offer dice games in general they will surely be affected. Twitch users who promote these sites have to remove the referral link, which means they have to compromise on their affiliate earning. If they are okay with it then they still can stream but have to remove affiliate links for past and future streams. I think most streamers will stop streaming casino streams and move to other options as affiliate earnings were always an important part of their revenue.

1 - first impact: the reputation of cryptocurrency-related casinos is worse than before, for the people of Twitch to ask Twitch to take this step, means that the reputation of cryptocurrency-related casinos has declined more than usual, now the related casinos with cryptocurrencies are seen as a big scam, that's definitely bad
i agree with this one, now twitch viewers when they see this, they will have a lot of doubts about every crypto casino, but it does prevent a lot of people getting scammed, Trainwrecks (a twitch streamer) said that he made $250k from referral codes, imagine how many people he got to join the casino he promoted, and now imagine if the casino he promoted ended up being a scam, the number of victims would be incredibly high.

I think it will have impact not only on crypto gambling, but on all forms of online gambling. Twitch is a very popular streaming platform, maybe the biggest gambling sites promoter as of today.
However, I think it might even be for the best. Indeed streamers tend to advertise scam, or make people believe that winning in gambling is easy, and can make you rich. Many people still fall for that and then gain and spread false impression about the whole gambling industry.
It’s a pity, that it has come to this, as there was decent content as well, but maybe it will change things in a good way.

maybe there were too many complaints why they finally implement this restriction to streamers. because they will not resort to this action if they were not receiving significant feedback. streamers actually have the tendency to over exaggerate things that their followers can be deceived by their actions. for now, it will be good for the community. a lot of people are gullible, let's admit it. and if it is endorsed by the gamers they looked up to, some of them won't think twice.
They wont really be making out such conclusion if there were no complaints that do came from the community members.If they would saw that there's some rampant complaints then its just normal that they would really be taking action against that.
Twitch is just really doing their job on protecting out their users specially if it turns out that addiction had become a big problem due to those influencers or vloggers.

of course it has a lot of negative impact for cryptocurrency-related casinos, I can name two big impacts:
1 - first impact: the reputation of cryptocurrency-related casinos is worse than before, for the people of Twitch to ask Twitch to take this step, means that the reputation of cryptocurrency-related casinos has declined more than usual, now the related casinos with cryptocurrencies are seen as a big scam, that's definitely bad
2 - second impact: There are also people who managed to get referrals to legitimate casinos that now, with this measure, will no longer have referrals in this way.
