Twitch CEO Weighs In on Gambling on Stream and Offshore Sites

Offshore SitesxQc and Trainwrecks both said they loved gambling – they both stopped as soon as Twitch cut the business incentive for them to do so.

Twitch CEO Debates on The Validity of Gambling Content on the Platform
Twitch has been muddling through reform for gambling content, introducing a dedicated policy that has people stream in the Slots category, one of the highest-grossing and most watched on the platform, but the company also pressed on with another measure – its decision to suspend streams that promote specific gambling websites.
