Twitch to ban certain gambling content on stream in response to deluge of recent controversies

In the last week or so, there has been a push from many content creators like Pokimane and Mizkif to end gambling on Twitch. According to these content creators, it promotes a dangerous environment for children and adults who suffer from addiction.

After initial pushback from creators like xQc, Twitch has decided it will ban the streaming of gambling sites that involve “slots, roulette, or dice games that aren’t licensed either in the U.S. or other jurisdictions that provide sufficient consumer protection” next month. Streamers will still be able to participate in websites that feature poker, sports betting, and fantasy sports, however.
