Popular Twitch Streamers Repay Scammed Victims After Sliker’s Gambling Addiction Revealed
Twitch streamer Sliker recently opened up about his struggle with a gambling addiction, admitting that it led him to scam multiple creators and viewers. In response, popular influencers Ludwig and xQc stepped in to help the victims affected by Sliker’s actions.
Ludwig and xQc, two of Twitch’s most prominent content creators, promised to assist those who had been scammed by Sliker. They pledged to repay the money lost by the victims.
Nearly a month later, Ludwig shared an image confirming that they had made payments totaling nearly $250,000 to 72 recipients, ensuring that victims received $242,956 in total.
Ludwig took to Twitter to announce that they had “successfully paid back the victims scammed by Sliker.” While it remains unclear if every victim received their money back, Ludwig expressed confidence in their efforts.
Ludwig concluded his statement by directly calling out Twitch, urging the platform to “do your job” and ban Sliker.
With the assistance of xQc, Ludwig enlisted the help of his friend and manager Slime to facilitate payments. Additionally, One True King’s (OTK) project manager Wojito verified the victims’ identities.
The initial allegations against Sliker surfaced in mid-September, prompting many creators to advocate for a ban on gambling streams and for Sliker himself. While Sliker lost his partner status and subscription button, he has not yet been banned.
