Twitch prohibits gambling streams as influential streamers threaten strike

Twitch has updated its regulations on gambling on the streaming platform, following an outcry from streamers.

The new policy prohibits streaming of gambling sites that include slots, roulette, or dice games that aren’t licensed in the US or “other jurisdictions that provide sufficient consumer protection” from 18th October.

This follows strike threats from some of the biggest Twitch streamers after former Team Liquid member ItsSliker admitted to have scammed viewers and fellow streamers out of $200k to fund his gambling addiction.
