xQc slams Jake Paul and RiceGum for promoting scam gambling site Popular Twitch streamer F\u00e9lix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel has slammed the luxury gambling website promoted by Jake Paul and Bryan \u2018RiceGum\u2019 Le. Both RiceGum and Paul uploaded videos to their YouTube channels promoting the site, showing their reactions as they appeared to win high-end luxury items like popular sneakers, branded clothes and even expensive gadgets. YouTubers such as Ethan Klein from H3H3 Productions and Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg have hit out at the pair, calling the website \u201cshady\u201d and asking whether Paul and Le should be promoting gambling to their young fan base. On January 3 xQc had his say on the situation, comparing the website and a player\u2019s odds of winning these prizes to entering a casino and playing a game there. \u201cIf I walk into a casino and I go to the roulette table, I know that my odds of winning if I bet on red or black are 48.5%,\u201d stated the Canadian. \u201cAll the odds, all the percentages of me winning are out there.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s open, it\u2019s not hidden, but with these websites you don\u2019t know your chances of winning. All the values are hidden and they choose the values. It\u2019s ten times worse than gambling because most gambling games are quantifiable, but this is trash. This is a scam, a gambling scam.\u201d RiceGum has explained in a video uploaded on January 3 that, due to the lucrative deal he was given to promote the site, he didn\u2019t think of the possibility of it being a scam, but has admitted he knows he was \u201csomewhat in the wrong.\u201d Jake Paul has not talked about the issue on his YouTube channel, but did send out a tweet urging kids not to gamble. With the amount of interest surrounding this matter, it\u2019s likely that we will hear more about the site and the YouTuber\u2019s involved in promoting it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
