Trainwrecks $1 Million Giveaway

TrainWrecks, a Twitch streamer, reportedly gave away a million dollars on Saturday after winning a ten-million-dollar pot while gambling. On his gambling stream, the streamer vowed to give away $1 million if he won the top prize of $10 million. As luck would have it, he was able to reach the ten-million-dollar mark.

The money was distributed in various sums, ranging from a few hundred dollars to over 30,000 dollars in certain cases, with more money apparently going to viewers who watched his program for long periods of time. Members of the chat room could enter to win money by posting 21 and their bitcoin wallet address.

During the giveaway phase of the live show, he attracted over 70,000 viewers, and his Twitch subscriber count soared to over 48,000, surpassing Adin Ross and putting him in the top ten most-subscribed streamers. He gave away large quantities of money to several close friends in addition to providing money to Twitch viewers. His childhood friend John, for example, received $35,000 in bitcoin. Snipedown, a FaZe Halo pro, won $15,000 in the contest, while Clayster, a NYSL CDL pro, won $15,000 for some furniture on stream.

Due to his gambling content, TrainWreck has become a divisive character on Twitch. He spends a significant deal of his streams online gambling massive sums of money. According to the streamer, he has been losing enormous quantities of money because of his gambling habit for the past 9 months, so he merely jokingly said he would give away $1 million, but he ended up keeping his promise.

While TrainWreck admits to having a bad habit, he advises people in his stream description not to gamble like he does, and if they must bet, to do so responsibly. He also has a link to Gamble Aware, a nonprofit that focuses on gambling addiction and damage research and treatment. Despite his anti-gambling suggestions, he, along with other big broadcasters like xQc and Adin Ross, came under fire in 2021 for on-stream gambling content. Twitch banned gambling-related links and codes last year as a result of the reaction, but they still enable streamers to bet online.

Although it has not been proven that he handed away the entire $1 million, he has given away over $700,000 as of now.
