[L Thammy]

And all it took is whatever the fuck it was that just happened.

 

[dmr87]

 

[Zasa]

About fucking time

 

[danm999]

Guess its causing too much trouble now for them to justify looking the other way and taking their cut

 

[Atom Heart Mother]

finally

 

[TheDestructiveSquirrel]

Oh man

How many of the gambling streamers are going to be dropped by their sponsors and then lose all their money in a week?

 

[SpaceUI]

Wow, will xqc and other gambling streamers lose their sponsor money?

 

[Veldin]

Fucking finally

 

[Jawmuncher]

Holy shit, was not expecting that. Guess they wanted to get in front of it before it caught on the news.

 

[Astandahl]

Thank god

 

[Dozer]

the world ending

holy fucking shit this has been INSANE

 

[Kuro]

holy fuck

edit: they're just going to move onto poker and sports betting though lol

 

[PumpkinPieAddict]

Good move by twitch. I'd love to see a study on the impact of gambling from twitch on kids.

 

[Giga Man]

Yeah, a'ight.

 

[overthewaves]

They should ban Gacha games too

 

[EagleClaw]

wow...
Some millionairs might have some tears in their eyes right now.

 

[Thorakai]

Fuck gambling

 

[Tfritz]

what does this mean for gacha games, or, more importantly, the mandantory dice mini game in the HD remasters of classic JRPGs Suikoden 1 and 2, coming 2023 to Steam, Playstation, and Nintendo platforms?

 

[ReginaldXIV]

TOO MUCH IS HAPPENING AT ONCE!

Good shit though.

 

[s y]

That's not a gambling ban. Is nobody actually reading the tweet?

It's only banning gambling that isn't licensed in the USA.

 

[Strittles]

Glad to see something good come out of this chaos

 

[Rats]

Fuckin' A.

 

[PlanetSmasher]

Good. I can't believe they allowed this to begin with.

 

[Saturday]

Literally no downsides and took too long so k

 

[Okabe]

 

[Shryke]

ABOUT TIME! Finally! The heat was getting to them!

 

[.exe]

Hard to believe they were so desperate for content they hosted this trash in the first place (actually, not really).

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

The reputational risk to Amazon was getting extremely high for benefits that weren't fantastic.

 

[asd202]

Well a month left to cash in

 

[HolyFridge]

The gambling streamers dont really care i bet. They are already set for multiple lifetimes with the money they already made.

 

[--R]

Fire the staff that took money from gambling streams too.

 

[FF Seraphim]

Good. Too many people getting into gambling because someone they like does it and get addicted to it.

 

[Dest]

If you read it it really doesn't actually do shit.

To prohibit streaming of gambling sites that include slots, roulette, or dice games that aren't licensed either in the U.S. or other jurisdictions that provide sufficient consumer protection.

So it's still allowed, it just needs to be a licensed gambling site.

They also didn't say fucking shit about any of the sexual harassment.

 

[Biosnake]

Thank god

 

[ApeEscaper]

Lmao should've been done a long fucking time ago Twitch.

Shame these recent big events had to happen first to finally lead to this just to save face

 

[Z-Beat]

Does Saltybet count?

 

[SEATLiens]

trainwrecks is about to do a month long subathon

 

[Jogi]

Good step, they need to do lootboxes, csgo skins, mut/fut next. No reason not to tbh.

 

[bloodyroarx]

Giving streamers a month to cash out is fucking lame

make that policy effective immediately

 

[Razgriz417]

bout fucking time

 

[Kobra_Zer0]

Holy shit, was not expecting that. Guess they wanted to get in front of it before it caught on the news.

Yeah, this is only a self serving move honestly, they got scared because of recent events. Also the ban should have been put into effect immediately.

 

[Bxrz]

Can they ban the half-naked women on there now?

 

[Kolx]

Fuck me, didn't think they would do it. Xqc and trainwreck can kiss their sponsorships goodbye.
