Greece Bans Streaming Platform Kick Over Gambling Content

Kick’s lax policies on gambling got it blacklisted by the Hellenic Gaming Commission.

Kick.com, a streaming platform supported by many pro-gambling advocates, has been blocked in Greece. As it turns out, the platform’s liberal stance on gambling doesn’t sit well with some markets.

Kick emerged in the wake of changes to the gambling content policies of Twitch, an Amazon-owned streaming service. Created by the founders of Stake.com, Kick seeks to provide customers with a censorship-free environment where people can freely express themselves and produce content.

As a result, prominent gambling streamers such as Tyler Faraz Niknam, also known as Trainwreckstv, have moved to the platform, supporting it in its journey to rival Twitch. For reference, Trainwreckstv used to be one of the top Slots streamers on Twitch and was very vocal in his disapproval of the platform’s new policies.
