Asmongold defends xQc over Twitch gambling sponsorship row Unsplash\/ Twitch: Asmongold\/xQcTwitch star Asmongold has jumped to xQc\u2019s defense after his fellow streamer came under fire for accepting a sponsored gambling promotion deal. Online gambling promotions continue to be a controversial topic among the streaming community. With some creators being offered huge deals to promote gambling websites during their livestreams, others have hit out at the scheme for the effect it could have on viewers. So, when Twitch\u2019s biggest streamer xQc revealed that he would be promoting online gambling again, it caused a fiery debate. Especially, as he\u2019s been open about his gambling addiction in the past. However, Asmongold has fired back claiming that the blame shouldn\u2019t be placed on the streamer\u2019s shoulders. Instead, the hate should be aimed at gambling itself. Asmongold supports xQc over gambling deal As the debate surrounding xQc\u2019s gambling sponsorship raged on Twitter, Asmongold leaped to his defense. He argued that with streamers being offered such huge figures to do the promotions, they can\u2019t be blamed for taking the deal. \u201cDon\u2019t hate the player hate the game, if people malding at this maybe make it illegal,\u201d Asmongold said. \u201cNobody\u2019s giving a f**k about a tweet when they\u2019re getting a 7-figure check. \u201cIt\u2019s pointless and na\u00efve moralizing over gambling when it makes so much money. People will always do it unless there is a change in the rules. It\u2019s too lucrative and popular to pass up.\u201d It\u2019s pointless and naive moralizing over gambling when it makes so much money People will always do it unless there is a change in the rules It\u2019s too lucrative and popular to pass up \u2014 Zack (@Asmongold) May 17, 2022 However, Twitter users were quick to point out that Asmongold has spoken out against the promotion of online gambling.

Although, he has stressed that the streamers are not to blame for the issue. Asmongold has made his standing on the row over the use of sponsored gambling ads during livestreams clear.
