xQc reveals multi-million gambling losses on new podcast with Pokimane: \u201cI\u2019m addicted\u201d Twitch: PokimaneImane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys and Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel have finally delivered on the podcast the two have been promising, diving deep into topics across their lives. The very first episode saw xQc reveal an unreal gambling loss for the past month as he openly admitted to \u2018addiction.\u2019 After a series of missteps, May 1 saw Twitch giants xQc and Pokimane get together on Poki\u2019s stream for a 4-hour long chat. During this conversation, xQc let loose that throughout April he lost a staggering $1.85 million while gambling. Pulling apart recent revelations that Felix has confessed he faces serious issues with his gambling, the duo went in on the gambling meta currently dominating Twitch. Pokimane started with the relatively innocuous question: \u201cWould you have as much fun gambling if you were doing it off-stream as on stream?\u201d Leading xQc to openly reiterate how he views his gambling. \u201cYeah, I\u2019m addicted\u2026 I gamble every day.\u201d After revealing how often he gambles, xQc went on to disclose the full extent of how much he puts at stake. \u201cI lost 1.85 mil last month,\u201d he said. The two went into a back and forth about the ethics of gambling, especially in the public stream sphere. Pokimane directly derided xQc\u2019s choices, arguing: \u201cWhen you stream yourself gambling, you\u2019re negatively impacting your viewers.\u201d Continuing her train of thought, Poki brought a heavier distinction between gambling and taking money for advertising gambling to viewers. \u201cWhen it comes to taking gambling sponsorships that\u2019s literally just your viewer\u2019s money.\u201d Making it clear that he wasn\u2019t defending the moral implications of gambling on or off-stream, xQc replied \u201cIt\u2019s a bad thing, I\u2019m not against it.\u201d Tossing gambling in with other vices he put forth the idea: \u201cI think you shouldn\u2019t be drinking excessively, and you shouldn\u2019t be taking alcohol sponsors on stream, I think it\u2019s bad. I still do it.\u201d xQc brought his attention to the general ideas of how streamers profit off of their viewers by saying: \u201cIt\u2019s like a spectrum of bad. It\u2019s like taking a sponsorship for a game you know is complete asscrack. You know it\u2019s bad but you still do it.\u201d Diving back into the moral stance that Felix has, Poki questioned: \u201cDo you still do gambling sponsorships?.\u201d Clarifying that he doesn\u2019t take sponsorships for gambling, Lengyel replied: \u201cI just gamble off-stream. \u201cI\u2019m on a down streak,\u201d he reminded fans, before closing out the section with his viewpoint on why gambling attracts viewers: \u201cI think people enjoy watching money being de-printed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
