Mizkif hits out at Trainwreck for defending Twitch Gambling amid Sliker drama Twitch: TrainwrecksTV\/ MizkifPopular creator Mizkif has fired back at Tyler \u2018TrainwrecksTV\u2019 Niknam for defending gambling streams on Twitch despite increasing pressure to ban such content from the platform. Twitch streamer Sliker broke down in tears on September 18 as he admitted to having scammed his fellow creators of thousands of dollars to fund his gambling addiction. The backlash has once again sparked a fiery debate across the internet with streamers and Twitch-users across the community calling on the platform to ban gambling streams. Not all are on board, however, with the likes of Trainwreck and xQc arguing that it\u2019s not as big a problem as others have made out. However, Mizkif slammed Trainwreck for defending slots on Twitch despite Sliker\u2019s admission and, as a result, encouraging more viewers to start gambling. Mizkif repeats call to ban gambling on Twitch On September 19, Mizkif was joined on his livestream by Pokimane as the two called on Twitch to ban gambling-related content from its platform after Sliker apologized and admitted to having a gambling addiction which drove him to ask for money from his fellow streamers. However, Mizkif was particularly frustrated with Trainwreck\u2019s comments following on from the drama. According to the 31-year-old, it was \u201cthe people scapegoating Slots, Blackjack, and Roulette and not blaming the individual [who] are the real problem.\u201d Yet, Mizkif strongly disagreed with Train\u2019s view: \u201cWhy do people give you millions of dollars a month to market gambling? It\u2019s surely not because they\u2019re friends with you, Train. It\u2019s because you give them millions of millions of dollars in revenue from your viewers who go and watch you are now gamblers.\u201d He clarified that he wasn\u2019t blaming \u201cjust the individual\u201d and that Sliker was \u201c100% wrong\u201d for his actions. Yet, he argues, removing gambling from Twitch would make it less accessible and attractive to viewers. Mizkif has been honest about his views against gambling streams in the past, previously hitting out at xQc for his Slots content. He similarly received an offer for a $10 million gambling sponsorship deal which he, unsurprisingly, rejected. It\u2019s still early days following on from the shocking revelations surrounding Sliker. However, there is most likely much more drama still to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
