Trainwreck’s Controversial Platform Announcement
Trainwreck recently made headlines with the announcement of his new platform, Kick. However, the revelation that one of the company’s investors is also an owner of the online casino Stake has caused quite a stir.
Twitch’s Ban on Unlicensed Gambling Content
Trainwreck’s dissatisfaction with the platform stems from Twitch’s ban on unlicensed gambling content in the U.S. As a result, his streams, which heavily relied on gambling sponsorships from Stake, were affected.
Concerns about Kick’s Ties to Gambling Content
With Twitch’s crackdown on gambling content, Trainwreck’s involvement in a platform associated with Stake has raised concerns. Some believe that the new platform may be more focused on marketing gambling content rather than becoming a Twitch and YouTube competitor.
Trainwreck’s Response: Unapologetic and Confident
Despite the criticism, Trainwreck remains defiant. During one of his Twitch streams, he addressed any concerned streamers and viewers, stating that if they have a problem with Stake’s involvement in Kick, they should simply refrain from using the platform.
Despite this bold statement, Trainwreck expresses unwavering confidence in the success of Kick. He believes in the platform’s future, even if current critics choose not to participate.
