Asmongold Wants Twitch to Take Action on Gambling Streams

World of Warcraft twitch streamer Asmongold has now weighed in to the recent controversy on the platform, the twitch gambling streams, saying that the new gambling streams meta is “killing our website”.

Many streamers on the platform have been weighing in on one controversial topic which is the sponsored gambling broadcasts in the past few weeks. Many big name streamers such as xQc, Adin Ross, and Trainwrecks have gotten involved and have seen bundles of success with gambling.

Despite its success, not every streamer on the platform is a fan of these meta, with Hasan and Pokimane recently sharing their thoughts about the situation with pokimane, stating that these gambling streams are making people lose their money. Now, WoW streamer Asmongold has also weighed in, but he has a slightly different concern. On July 22nd, Asmongold joined H3H3 host Ethan Klein on stream where they discussed the matter.

According to Asmongold, if twitch does not take action about this and this meta still continues on the platform, it will hurt the website. Furthermore, when his chat brought up xQc and Trainwrecks, he was quick to lash the two Twitch stars for their involvement, calling them “dumb.”

Here’s what he said; “It makes no sense for me, for them to come on H3H3’s stream yesterday and say that gambling streams aren’t bad. Gambling streams are just bad, everyone f**king knows that, so these guys should just come out and say ‘I want to make as much money as possible’ and everyone would be okay with that, really. I have no problem with people who just admit it, but I hate when people don’t, and they play this stupid ‘hide the ball’ bullsh*t.”

He then said that the real problem was that Twitch are allowing this to happen, that it is entirely Twitch’s responsibility to uphold integrity on their site and not the streamers. Twitch has yet to respond to the outcry over gambling streams. When they faced similar backlash over hot tub streams, they simply demonetized those broadcasts.
