Today, Twitch announced on Twitter that they would prohibit streaming gambling sites that include slots, roulette, or dice games on October 18, 2022. The news comes following the recent controversy over popular Twitch streamer Sliker, who allegedly scammed his viewers and colleagues out of thousands of dollars.
Previously, Twitch prohibited sharing links and referral codes to all sites featuring slots, roulette, and dice games, but some streamers have circumvented those rules. As a result, Twitch has decided to “prohibit streaming of gambling sites that includes slots, roulette, or dice games that are not licensed in the United States or other jurisdictions that provide sufficient consumer production.”
List of Gambling Sites Banned on Twitch
Twitch prohibits streaming the following gambling sites:
- Stake.com
- Rollbit.com
- Rollbit.com
- Duelbits.com
- Roobet.com
Gambling streams have brought in some staggering view counts for Twitch, with notable streamers raking in tens of thousands of viewers while they play slots live on stream. Twitch’s Slots category has consistently been among the most popular categories in the platform’s directory.
Twitch will continue to allow streamers to broadcast sports betting, fantasy sports, and poker.
