Haters criticize xQc for 'gambling at the peak of drama' during Kick streams: 'He gaslights his community'

xQc recently received criticism from his viewers for promoting gambling during Kick stream

AUSTIN, TEXAS: xQc has been involved in a number of controversies, but none equal to the ones that are currently taking place.

Furthermore, Kick has a history of gambling promotion claims, which were resolved in a number of cases. Stake streams have been widespread among Canadian streamers, and they are disappointing more people by the day.

From being one of the most regarded Overwatch players to one of the most contentious streamers, xQc's love for internet controversy has not faded.

Is xQc involved in gambling?

Kick and xQc have both been accused of engaging in gambling promotions on stream. While adults are free to bet or not, it is usually the underage audience who is more at danger.

Since xQc has viewers of varied ages, it is difficult to establish who is or is not watching his content.

As a result, his supporters and netizens are concerned about influencing the wrong audience. During his Stake streams, the streamer has lost over a million credits and has failed to recover on nearly every stream.

As actual money is involved in those cases, xQc has lost a significant amount of money from his bank. In a recent stream, he also expressed his desire to return to his native Canada after spending so much time in Texas.

Netizens assumed that he was making this decision because of what he had lost from the broadcasts he had participated in.

Many users also accused Kick of paying xQc to do similar streams in order to expose minors to gambling. After all, there is no strong evidence to support this theory, and it remains an internet debate.

As soon as the stream went viral on xQc's streaming channel, his haters started reacting in the comments section.

A person wrote, "I like the way he gaslights his communit lmfao."

Another commentator added, "Crazy how people can throw hundreds of thousands of dollars away doing advertised gambling while people can't have their basic needs met due to being so impoverished." 

The third one claimed, "This guy knows how to gamble and start a drama."

Fourth hater of the streamer remarked, "He handed his detractors a big fat W on a silver platter by gambling at the peak of the drama."

Kick faced gambling allegations

Kick has a history of getting streamers on board with stake stream contracts. Kick was facing multiple allegations of pushing gambling on the platform back in June.

However, because the website was new at the time, these were displayed as programming issues. To reassure netizens, the engineers made some severe surface adjustments and adjusted the algorithm.

Furthermore, Kick CEO Eddie has spoken publicly about his thoughts on stake streams and how he intends to limit them.

The CEO also took precautions to avoid exposing gambling streams to uninterested parties. With favorable adjustments being implemented, he attempted to attract more streamers to the site in order to compete with Twitch.

Ricegum, on the other hand, later shared it for receiving a contract with an optional assent to gaming streams. If the streamer chooses to do so on the site, Kick will insurance them with additional funds.

As a result, many xQc supporters lately began to suspect that he, too, acquired the same type of deal. However, it appears that the bad side of gambling has taken its toll on the Canadian streamer.
