Topic: Twitch To Ban Gambling Streaming By October 18th. - page 6. (Read 3511 times)
I keep seeing Dlive.tv by stake.com. Is there other alternatives streaming platform for slots besides this?
~snip~
Based on this announcement, Twitch will update their policy on 18th October. They aren't going to allow the streaming of casino games. They have also mentioned the name of some casinos in the announcement, Stake is one of them. But Stake has announced that Drake will stream the casino games of Stake on his Twitch account on 17th October 1 AM GMT. Quote from: https://t.me/StakeCasino/5268

Seems like Stake.com is trying to take the benefit of the current policy of Twitch to make their last stream there. I'm wondering what Twitch team will do during the stream of tomorrow
I also saw this announcement a few days ago, the last streaming... I didn't watch it, 1 am is pretty late for me! I was wondering if they were going to announce the next streaming place, did something like that happen? Was it DLive? And one more thing I'm interested in, did they force the story about the next place?
I guess Drake is really rich, but some casinos had pretty young streamers gambling with millions like crazy... with $10k bets and higher, buying bonus rounds with 6 digits numbers. And before they lose everything they "magically" get lucky and recover with a nice profit on top! I think that casinos will not quit this kind of marketing, the only question is where will they move after tomorrow?
Speaking about Drake then he wont really care on where he would be hanging on and have those streams but its true that Twitch is really just losing some significant part of streams that they do have in their platform
but well its their company then its their rules to be followed.They dont just really like for their reputation to be tarnished out even though it means on removing gambling streams.

I don't really think they ban streaming gambling on their platform. they only limit, licensed gambling is still allowed.
Maybe they don't really care about the negative impact of gambling, maybe this is just one way of regulation from the government.
We know Twitch can never undo a gamble. Of course some of the gambling sites that they banned will continue to run elsewhere and on other platforms.
I think even though there will be a lot of negative impacts that arise, maybe it should just limit the age rather than ban it.
But they know better which is a good step to manage the development of their platform.

I am not sure if they are really a "tool", they are not used for this, they are only afraid of what could happen to them, and if the US government is telling you to do something, you do it because it is always scarier otherwise. Plus, like it was said before, they are owned by amazon, one of the biggest American companies in the world, so they are ruled by them as well, if amazon says close down the gamblers, twitch does it because they are the boss.
Considering how big Amazon is, they should be afraid of USA, looking at their salaries and how the cheap workers are the reason why they make money, even the threat of making minimum wage 20+ dollars would crumble the whole amazon company.
That is a scared move, and I understand why it is done but let's not act as if Amazon does everything USA tells them to do, they are the ones who forced USA to accept their situation by saying they could easily move their headquarters to Ireland, in fact some of the big tech startups did, some went to Singapore and some went to Ireland.Considering how big Amazon is, they should be afraid of USA, looking at their salaries and how the cheap workers are the reason why they make money, even the threat of making minimum wage 20+ dollars would crumble the whole amazon company.
Because taxes there are lower, but then there are legal complications so most of them stayed of course. However, Amazon could have forced the government to accept the gambling streamers if they wanted to, it was a small time thing and wouldn't be really a matter for the government, they wouldn't care all that much, but instead Amazon didn't care too much and stopped it instead.
anyway, these streamers/gamblers will always find another platform to do their job. maybe the free streaming service DLive will be popular this time and will find this a very useful streaming platform. if one door closes, other doors will open. that's not the end of their job. maybe in the future they will regret banning these gambler streamers. but at that point, it doesn't matter anymore to gamblers as they already found their new streaming network.

One thing is for sure, if the website doesn't want to let someone do something, that is in their right to do it. We consider "illegal" in a very grey sense here, because we like to gamble here and we are gamblers, but the reality is that gambling is not allowed in most places. Sure it's not as illegal as stealing from someone, or hurting someone, but it's still illegal.
It means, just like how you can't do any of those illegal things, you can't do this neither because it's illegal in almost everywhere aside from a few places. That's an important thing. Because it gives them the ease of mind to ban it, and give this as credible reason behind it.

Wow, if they want to ban it they should go ahead, we have YouTube right? I believe YouTube still allow gambling videos with fair rules and regulations for the YouTubers, this is what Twitch should do too but well it's their problem.
Odysee in addition to having livestreaming and both crypto (creators keep 100%) and cash tips, of which cash tips 93% go to creators (not 50-70% lol) and being based off of the censorship proof blockchain technology on the LBRY network and mostly censorship free on the Odysee front-end also just introduced their memberships program just the other day:
https://odysee.com/$/memberships
This gives immense flexibility to streamers for optionality. This platform has been growing exponentially the past few years, but I can't believe it hasn't gotten even more attention after just all the mega deplatforming everywhere. This gambling thing being one small microcosm of the problem

I think if you like gambling then watching online casino streams is not necessary. Play for your own pleasure, why waste time watching streams of gambling.
I want to ask gamblers. Why do you watch online casino streams?
Watching other people gamble, specially if they are winning hundreds of thousands or even millions like Roshtein and Train is also a pleasure to those people that are also playing slots. There could even have chance that those who just learned about slot/live casino gambling be entertained just by watching. I want to ask gamblers. Why do you watch online casino streams?
Also, personally I wouldn't be able to bet such big amount that these streamers are placing. So for me it really is a good opportunity to watch them play having such bets.

I wonder why they don't just ban that account that is scamming people and needs to shut down the majority of the gambling streamer? I don't think the problem is that simple. For sure there is pressure from either the community or the government for twitch to act like that. Twitch will lose millions of revenu by banning these gambling streamers and yet they do it. If there is no big people behind this banned, I don't know how huge this Sliker is to make Twitch banned many gambling streams.
But the political component is also likely to take place.
More precisely, an indication of some kind of American regulators, which the whole world obeys unconditionally, in terms of pressure on the use of cryptocurrency.
Twitch is just an obedient tool in this whole big game.

Taking into account how the prohibition mostly affects cryptocurrency casinos, while the casinos that are licensed on the United States can still operate on this platform then it becomes very obvious to me that this sudden change in their policies has more to do with the government pressuring Twitch to forbid the promotion of cryptocurrency casinos, and that most likely they resisted against this move for some time but they were simply unable to take the pressure anymore and at the end they had to relent.
This wasn't about government pressuring Twitch to forbid on promoting crypto casinos, This was about Sliker who was a twitch streamer scamming multiple people for years there are proof of him begging money to other streamers and his own fans.
People assumed that it was used to feed his gambling addiction and this story blew up helping big streamers who are against gambling streams to use it to pressure Twitch to ban gambling on the platform
*He already confessed it was about gambling and the total value he got is $300k+

If Twitch isn't going to do something they will gonna lose some of the famous streamers.

Its really simple, some people do not like gambling and they have been voicing out their own concerns when XQC started his gambling streams.

To me this would have been a better choice instead of banning gambling streamings, I know they still allow poker and some other games but I still think the ban is too harsh, but it seems to me they were not interested in having this kind of content in their platform and this is why they went for the ban, still I think they are going to be the losers at the end of this as the demand for gambling related content has gone up dramatically since the pandemic started, and I do not see this tendency stopping anytime soon.
I can't agree more, the demand has increased exponentially due to the global lock downs and the online passive income exposures propaganda. The Twitch gambling ban is bad for company and slot streamers but on other hand no more addiction chasers will spent their time on such streams of their favorite streamer. Let's see what happens after mentioned date, other gambling platforms will suffer in terms of promotions after this decision, IMHO. It’s like how there are so many companies who rather work in big nations, but move to Bahamas or something just because they have to, not because they want to, to make more profit. Twitch is owned by amazon, there could be some pressure from that side in the end.

Sad to know that people would have such influence as to broadcast anyone gambling. I assume this also would affect poker tournaments? Because, honestly, those are broadcasted all over and nobody seems to care much. There seems to be some short of double standard, or maybe it is simply a calculation of benefit versus image cost done by twitch.
I don't think banning was the solution to this as different users have different needs of content which could have been in the gambling niche for example, with this move I see their userbase dropping after this goes in full swing ! BTW the best twitch would have done is putting up age restrictions to such content to prevent minors from accessing such if age is what's sited otherwise didn't see this coming
