Trainwrecks Calls Out Twitch

On February 1, Twitch star Tyler “Trainwreckstv” called out the site during a livestream after noticing channels that were apparently still advertising gambling-related content despite the category’s ban.

While showcasing various Twitch channels broadcasting under the Slots category, Trainwreckstv alleged that “no one cared” about the circumstance. He also disclosed that the network offered another type of gambling. The broadcaster said: “We will literally revisit this; we’ll revisit this in six hours and you’ll see like 15k, 6k, 4k, 4k, 3k, 2k (viewers). Like, it’s crazy, bro! And no one gives a f**k!”

Trainwreckstv went on to show that on Twitch, there was a category named “Virtual Casino” in addition to Slots. He asserted that the sum of all viewers will be between 200,000 and 300,000. The Iranian-American individual elaborated: “And we’re talking two separate sections, right? Two separate sections! Right? If you add them all up, every day, there’s about 200,000 to 300,000 viewers! I thought it was 100k to 200k, but no! It’s 200k to 300k viewers, every day! Throughout this, both sections.” 

He further stated that “no one cared” about the circumstance and that he was the “only one” who broadcast gambling-related content in a transparent manner: “No one gives a f**k! And they claimed, ‘No, you’re delusional. It wasn’t targeted.’ Which is ironic because I was the only one, if you could argue that was doing it in a transparent way, that was showing; that was giving cautions, giving the reality, losing 99% of the time and winning 1% of the time. Right?”

The 32-year-final old’s words in the Twitch clip were as follows: “And everyone else that actually made their arguments true, right? That they could’ve went after and actually had been right about, they said nothing. And they still say nothing.”
