Topic: Twitch To Ban Gambling Streaming By October 18th. - page 11. (Read 3473 times)
It's sad to see twitch will start to ban gambling streaming especially slots games because we're know slots are very addicting games and that's what make gamblers stay for around couple of hours to in front of their monitor. I wonder what's behind reason why they're ban gambling streaming because there's many online games are similar with gambling e.g. gacha, why they're not banning a whole games that has gacha? many people spend a lot money in order to get limited skin.
... anyway these gambling streamers can transfer to other platforms I'm sure their followers will follow them on other platforms.
And here is the problem, there are not much platforms for streaming, in the past there used to be Mixer and it was a great one, but twitch kill it. And now looks like the only viable platform will be youtube. But is a matter of time for them to ban gambling too.
Te real problem about this gambling streams in the fake money... we see gamblers like exploited placing max bets and fooling people making them thing that money is real, but they have a deal with the casinos where the money is provided by the house.
On the other hand, if Youtube would have allowed streaming gambling content wouldn't influencers have used it already ?
May be not banning gambling content but I guess Youtube must be having some kind of restriction on gambling related content.
Hence influencers won't have any big platform now that Twitch is banning gambling streams.

They want to be above standard and they want to be competitive because of streaming, Twitch.tv has become popular among other niche streamers they attained popularity and this is what makes them competitive but they want their reputation among its users clean, they are enjoying popularity since they launched in 2009 and they don't want their platform to get harm with these criticisms, anyway these gambling streamers can transfer to other platforms I'm sure their followers will follow them on other platforms.
There's always a risk along with the growth and with this update, Twitch is just making sure they will follow all the regulations and avoid such criticism as much as possible. If it's already harmful to the platform then this is the best solution for them, or else other site might take advantage of this issue against them. Yes, those streamers can still use other platform for streaming, this might be a loss for them but it's not the end and this is for the benefits of many. 
Today, Twitch took to their verified Twitter account to announce that they will be banning gambling streaming in their platform by October 18th this year, - this is less than a month from today.
In their announcement, they said the banned gambling sites will include stake.com, Rollbit.com, Duelbits.com, Roobet.com etc.
They said that they will identify other gambling platforms and ban them too as the move forward.
What do you guys think of this development?
According to the published article, the reason for the ban is due to backlash they(Twitch) received from influencers.
Do you think backlash received from influencers is enough reason for Twitch to ban gambling streaming on their platform?

This isn't really a big deal considering the fact that there are several popular alternatives to shift to if they actually go through with the ban.
It made noises, so it seems that this is a big deal because Twitch cave in to the pressures of those anti gamblers. So what they need is to clear out things and decided to ban gambling streamers.
Streamers will most likely shift to platforms like YouTube etc and their followers will shift there too. The silver lining here is that this ban will make it more difficult for scammers to scam naive, gullible gamblers around the world.
They have been using Youtube already, but most likely they want to go to a new platform. Maybe one of the streamers themselves will have this idea to work and have someone developed for them a gambling that no one will stop and so the game will continue for them, they will have sponsorship and make money again.
So, it's only a selected ban and not the entire gambling category in twitch will be banned but it so sad to see that most of the gambling sites included in the ban are famous and love the most here in our forum. So, what will be left there might be unfamous sites which can be risky.
Oh well, if they try to do something shady, they might be the next in line. I remember I read a thread last time in the gambling section about the streamer who borrows money to gamble and not paying back, maybe that also contributed in this for twitch to finalize their decision. Twitch is only afraid that their reputation will get affected so what they did there isn't wrong.

Didn't they already ban gambling sites? I remember some time ago thee was a lottery or something on Stake and when Eddy (CEO) was doing the livestream it suddenly went off the air and people were panicking.
I don't think this will do anything to protect people from gambling though. Most people just go to nice-looking slots machines and then part ways with their money, SMH.
And then after they lose all their bankroll, these same guys tell you that crypto is a big scam (by the way, have you noticed that Twitch only listed crypto casinos?)

I think they did the right thing because their platform is being used to scam people. According to what I've read, one of their streamer borrowed some money to his fans and some popular streamers so basically twitch is somehow involved on his gambling addiction because he was able to fund his gambling habit by using his popularity on their platform.
Some of the backlash came from popular streamers like Pokimane and Mizkif so Twitch really had to take action from gambling contents or else they will lose a lot of users.

I think banning gambling streaming on Twitch is the first step. Of course there are other streaming platforms. But I think others will also follow Twitch and ban gambling streaming. But all this will not happen immediately, but gradually.
It isn't surprising to me. Amazon, Facebook, & Google own all major streaming platforms at this point. Microsoft had the best of them all with Mixer, but decided it wasn't worth the cash burn or headache to deal with music rights, etc... With streaming being a major player in the future of the digital age, it seems like it's mostly between Twitch and YouTube, AKA Amazon & Google. Google is dominating in recorded content while Amazon seems to have the live content down, likely because of their massive bandwidth capabilities. It very much is a battle between giants though.
Mixer only lasted for a few years before it shut down due to racism and toxicity around the platform. It was great for a while when it housed the top streamers, although of course alongside these top streamers come the cesspool of backseaters living on their mom's basements, hence why toxicity is a major problem on Mixer after it became big. These huge companies can create their own entertainment platform and the huge names will easily follow, because that's where the money is. Then again, I always expect that these platforms will always have issues community-side because that's what streaming and content platforms community is all about: toxicity.
I don't really have a problem with these corporations handling these streaming and content platforms because they are very much capable of delivering content with almost no downtime. The problem is their moderation and their policy sucks; they are way out of touch on their own platforms that they do not know what's happening down there.
If this thing will implement already there's a lot of streamers might change their platform because some of them really like to make a stream playing their gambling because at the same time they are paid with this kind of promotions and if the promotions has a good offer for sure they will find another way to keep promoting it, still it is good because they have different social for community engagement with their viewers still it has a large impact to the streamers too.
Actually, Stake.com might be restricted to US citizens as it has concerns regarding the regulation of US laws however there is another version of Stake that is only available to US Citizens which is at Stake.us. You can try and check out this thread about Stake.us and this is what the resolution made by Stake to allow users from US to continue gambling.
Also, I wonder if they'll allow Stake.us to continue streaming at Twitch since the main reason why they banned these websites or gambling platforms is mostly about conflict with US regulations. But still, whatever decision they'll make, these streamers can still continue streaming at another platform that is not against Gambling.
The way I interpret it, they prohibition is a blanket ban, so everything the relates to gambling specially crypto based casinos are going to be ban.Also, I wonder if they'll allow Stake.us to continue streaming at Twitch since the main reason why they banned these websites or gambling platforms is mostly about conflict with US regulations. But still, whatever decision they'll make, these streamers can still continue streaming at another platform that is not against Gambling.
Now the question is how is this ban going to affect those mentioned gambling platform like Stake? I would say that it wouldn't put any dent though, I mean gamblers will continue to play on any platform regardless if they will be promoted by crypto influencer in Twitch. So it's going to be business as usual and they are going to continue to make money. The effect will be felt by those influencers because obviously how will they promote those sites if there are no streams sites to begin with.
Also, Twitch is just one of the streaming platforms where this streamer showcases their gambling site such as Stake but other streaming platforms are still available like Facebook. The banning will surely affect the said gambling website but not much as other advertisements and promotions are being made like what they offer here at the forum as Signature Campaign and banners on various platforms like social media influencers and events.
This is crazy news man. I am so sad to hear Roobet is one of them. Obviously its a gambling site but come on Twitch, you could have done better than this to overcome the ref link sharing and promo code sharing issues? I bet roobet and many other sites were the reason twitch was receiving huge sign up and customer data base. What are they going to do with their business after these sites are taken off from their channel? This is definitely going to mark negative impact on the twitch for sure. What else they are going to stream if they are not allowing such renowned sites with great community that follows it? Definitely all the users must be unhappy with this one who used to enjoy the Roobet shows every friday or thursday. It was the best time to get some bucks over booz. 
This means that Stakes.com, duelbits, Roobet, and Rollbit are not regulated in the U.S. so they are restricted to the U.S.
I'm also just wondering why they made the dice games different, after all that game is very simple, why not the Poker, blackjack, and baccarat games? I just ask this. Is it because the government has a greater benefit here? It's as if it's not clear what the real reason is for taking it down.

Exactly.Nothing will change,Youtube is another giant operated by Google and offer the live streaming.My daughter always like to watch live streaming of the different streamers for kids here and she is just 2.5 years old.There are loads of them and if Twitch goes on with the ban of gambling streams so far in Youtube I have seen a lot of huge wins in different slots there so I think this platform will be an accommodating one and it will just ask if you are above 18 years old to enter.Pretty simple.

For some reason Twitch seems to be most preferred for streamers. Finding an alternative to Twitch is not a big deal. Knowing this more applications might've got developed.Streamers will most likely shift to platforms like YouTube etc and their followers will shift there too.

I don't think people will shift to YouTube, and there is a question why Dice is in the list. To my understanding, it is the one that is being much watched and preferred by streamers as well as the viewers.
