Topic: Twitch To Ban Gambling Streaming By October 18th. - page 7. (Read 3511 times)
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
Streamers can certainly find another platform that can give them more freedom in their work, even if it is about gambling. And their viewers or subscribers will try to get more information about where their favorite streamers are so they can stay up to date with those streamers. And it looks like if most platforms ban those streamers, they need a crypto or gambling platform that specifically serves the ads from that business so that it doesn't prohibit them from broadcasting live.
I think it is understandable those which were streaming about gambling on this platform and suddenly they find themselves being banned from it are not very happy about this situation, but since there is demand for this type of content the only thing they need to do is to move to another platform and try to bring their viewers with them, is not easy but if the content they are producing is above the rest I think they can continue their gambling streaming without too much of a problem.Therefore, of course, the ban, which is apparently sanctioned by Amazon, hit hard on users of the service who have been using it for many years. By the way, Twitch itself is also over 10 years old since it was created. So the ban is a political decision.
Once again, the bosses of the IT industry did not give a damn about their people.
Sadly.

For certain content, and gambling streaming is that kind of content, this is the place to go: there are others platforms, but I wouldn't say they can compete with Twitch (it is like talking about Youtube a few years ago: if you were banned there you were totally f***ed, until alternatives got the required traction).
On the other hand, while they will avoid regulatory risks, they can eventually lose their dominant position in this field, if competitors welcome the migrant streamers with more relaxed conditions. So this is a double-edged weapon to me.
For sure, surrounding streaming companies arent really that blind on what would gonna happen and they wouldn't really let this opportunity slip and since they do know that
they could have the chance on getting those people on using up the platform.
Each company does have its own rules and terms where it would be normal that they would be making such action whenever they
do see that issues becomes worst overtime.So getting rid of it is totally getting rid of things which is attached to it.
I think they know what's coming on their way so for sure they will have to come up with something unique or at least very friendly for the gamblers per se. As in any other businesses, when once can't cater anymore, sooner or later another business will have to take advantage of the situation and win in this niche market.
And we have options already, I even posted some, so let's see how will they do specially after October 18 because this is the deadline that Twitch officially set for all gambling streamers in their platform.

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+

I would say that it’s still a good reason to ban gambling though. If there are scammers in one category more than the other, and if there are twitch streamers pressuring twitch, then they had no other way of going around it and had to ban it. This basically makes sure that people are not getting scammed by others, and that’s important, if you are not getting scammed then it’s going to be a simple thing to just focus on the gaming or even chatting part of things.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

I would also like to point out that twitch was just a pure gaming platform where you played games and people flock to you because they liked your community, it could change a bit, but not this much. Gambling is way over the line.
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.

I agree that when we are talking about these type of deals, it would be quite difficult to handle, and I believe that we shouldn't really end up with trying to recover and get back to what it was, doesn't mean that it’s not possible I agree that it could be, but unlikely and that’s why we shouldn't look for it.
Let’s assume that gambling streaming world is over now, doesn't mean it’s over but it’s on the way there and I feel like we shouldn't be focusing on anything that would hurt us in the long run if we assume as such, it would be a happy situation if it’s not, and expected if it is. Other side is expecting it to survive and if it does than expected, and if not then be upset.
Without a doubt this is a move against gambling streamers but if there is demand then someone is going to supply people what they want to see, so it would not surprise me if other competitors sites decided to not follow the same policies and gain a lot of new viewers this way, so while this is a move that we knew that it will eventually come at the same time I do not think it is going to be so bad, as people will always find another way to satisfy the need they have of watching other people gamble.Let’s assume that gambling streaming world is over now, doesn't mean it’s over but it’s on the way there and I feel like we shouldn't be focusing on anything that would hurt us in the long run if we assume as such, it would be a happy situation if it’s not, and expected if it is.

The majority of twitch's community involves children and even if gamblers say 18+ there's no guarantee that children won't access it though another account if there are restrictions on the current account to watch their favorite streamer.
at least twitch was still allowing some rather than banning all of things related with gambling. It seems like the growth of gambling streamers have been making twitch to pay more attention to it.
I consider watching gambling streamers for entertain purpose only
Hate all fake money streamers, eg ROshten and other company, they will never uderstood even close what real players feeling loosing their last money and when u dont even known how to buy food and pay the rent
Better to see that as entertain purpose. I can't deny many of them were using balance that already filled by the sites 
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?

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.
They simply don't want to be involved in a legal scuffle against those who are voicing out their opinions on the prevalence of gambling streamers in the said platform. It would be a long and winding battle and I'm pretty sure Twitch just chose the easy way out. If there aren't any opinions that are against the gambling streams, I'm sure that Twitch wouldn't decide to go after these gambling streamers. Even though they can take it to the court, it's just a long and winding process that they need to undertake, and that time is better spent somewhere else.
Not surprised tbh, it was expected a year ago but for obvious reasons, they delayed the gambling ban and the team has announced it a few weeks ago on social media. They specifically mentioned crypto gambling websites because of the popularity in recent years, dunno Train or Roshtain will continue their streaming career on alternative stream platforms or will stop streaming slots. Maybe DLive will be the next station for most of the gambling streams after Stake's decision.
Looks like DLive is the next big thing in the gambling world, as the 18th of October approaches, I see more and more people talking about DLive. I am not so big fan of streamers, especially the ones who gamble with crazy high amounts, I believe it's rigged, most likely they are playing for the house, so it's just some kind of marketing... I am not sure if will I register there and follow all that, probably not! That's probably a good question, how many people from here tried DLive already? And for others who didn't will they?
if one door closes, another will open, so to speak. so if twitch will ban gambling streaming, there will always be another platform that will accommodate these streamers. and one is the DLive. it may not be popular today, but give it a time, and soon they will be racking up with streamers also. that's the beauty of business, if one door closes, there will be more windows that will open to these people. this is not the end of the streaming world for gamblers.

Why not ? I personally think that banning gambling streams is the right decision.
Besides that, what good does it do by allowing influencers to continue streaming gambling activities anyway ?
Bro, it's a shame if you feel it's the right decision when the casino you use as a signature is also prohibited from streaming. Related to the use of influencers is to develop the casino into a fast promotion path and have more influence over the casino. Without influencers as promoters, there probably wouldn't be a famous casino today. As influencers are now competing for a special share, moreover the casinos provide great incentives.Besides that, what good does it do by allowing influencers to continue streaming gambling activities anyway ?
Almost all have a bright spot, Drake will be negotiating this issue and Dlive is one of the solutions we are now hearing about. If Dlive can provide space and has agreed on what will be discussed later regarding streaming gambling, all gambling casinos especially crypto gambling can put it to good use. Twitch can no longer be negotiated if without a US license they still refuse.
- According to my understanding of the article, it seems that the influencer has a shortcoming in how he did it using the twitch platform. Maybe when the Twitch management saw and watched the influencer who live streamed here violated the rules and policy.
Sometimes it's just money that is the reason why influencers Livestream even if it violates the rules and protocol of the platform, something that maybe the influencers didn't even notice. I'm just not sure if I understood it correctly.

There maybe some other options available to them for steaming but twitch was most popular platform for them and huge audience as well to support them and now moving to different platforms will be little problem for them to gain new users from scratch and casino partnership again.But there are some twitch alternative so will see if they move to it or what's their move.
