Asmongold believes Twitch gambling streams are bad for the streaming website Twitch: Asmongold\/UnsplashStreaming star Asmongold wants Twitch to ban gambling streams altogether before they have dire consequences for the site later down the line. Twitch might be home to some of the best, and most entertaining, gamers in the world, but it\u2019s typically the other categories that cause the site the most issues. In the last few weeks, hot tub and ASMR streams have been in the spotlight, with streamers calling on Twitch to act before things get out of hand and the site suffers dearly. While Twitch have made some changes \u2013 introducing new categories and banning streamers \u2013 attention has turned back to the gambling streams that have come under fire before, given that many streamers are advertising online gambling to a younger audience. Plenty has been made of these gambling streams in the past, especially given how much some content creators can make off the back of them, but Asmongold wants things to change. Previously, the World of Warcraft streamer called on Twitch to make the streams \u201cillegal\u201d but now he\u2019s warned of the consequences they may have in a few month\u2019s time if a change isn\u2019t made. \u201cTwitch needs to ban gambling streams full stop. The amount of bullshit and pitfalls this is going to create in the next 6 months will fuck the website in so many ways we don\u2019t even realize yet,\u201d he tweeted, referencing EU gambling laws and how they could pose trouble. Twitch needs to ban gambling streams full stop The amount of bullshit and pitfalls this is going to create in the next 6 months will fuck the website in so many ways we don\u2019t even realize yet Just looking at EU gambling laws, anyone could see this will not end well \u2014 Zack (@Asmongold) June 25, 2021 Other streamers quickly responded, noting that some of Asmon\u2019s OTK group have taken up these streams before. \u201cI don\u2019t hold doing gambling streams against any streamer because of how lucrative and successful they are,\u201d he said, shifting the blame back on to Twitch. \u201cIt\u2019s entirely Twitch\u2019s responsibility to uphold integrity on their own site, not the streamers.\u201d I don\u2019t hold doing gambling streams against any streamer because of how lucrative and successful they are It\u2019s entirely Twitch\u2019s responsibility to uphold integrity on their own site, not the streamers Don\u2019t hate the player, hate the game \u2014 Zack (@Asmongold) June 25, 2021 Twitch already has multiple gambling-related sections, and streamers are required to disclose when they\u2019re being sponsored for said stream. However, it remains to be seen if the Amazon-owned platform will crack down further, or if some of Asmon\u2019s worst fears will be realized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
