Twitch acknowledged the expansion of its restriction on live streaming with gambling-related content on Wednesday. The firm forbade broadcasts that promoted the online casinos Blaze and Gamdom, joining the list of websites already blacklisted when the new gambling policy was initially established in October.
When a story involving a streamer who had allegedly defrauded viewers of thousands of dollars due to a gambling addiction surfaced last year, Twitch was forced to take action. This led to a wave of unhappiness among viewers and the top broadcasters on the site, who bemoaned the spread of gambling material that went unchecked.
