Silker is a Twitch streamer and would use his influence & position to ask for money from his viewers, other streamers, friends, etcetra. Then he would gamble away all of this borrowed money on sports betting. Mostly tennis matches lol
Here's a tweet by Jake Lucky on this
https://twitter.com/JakeSucky/status/1571309473402355712Twitch has turned into a cesspool of gambling addicts and gambling pushers. Do you think it's a responsible content creation & moderation on a platform which is used by teens, kids, and young adults?
Will this be the straw that will finally break the Camel's back and will force Twitch to ban gambling streams?
I hope it does.
You have a good point when you mentioned the fact Twitch is a streaming service where a lot of children and teens spend their time watching their favorite internet stars or former youtubers to play and most of the times to have a good time while helping those streamers to earn money, that being said it is a very delicate situation to have people like this one (and many others) introducing children and teens to the world of gambling.
I expect Twitch to end up banning gambling completely from their streaming service or going for a more moderate approach first and see if this works, they could do the same they did with the hot tub issue, they created a completely new category for girls in hot tubs, I found it rather silly but it worked, those who wanted to see women in a Jacuzzi found their place.
In case of gambling, Twitch may require people for KYC to allow them to enter a stream where the host is gambling on live, though, creating a category would not be enough, it seems this Silker guy does have some serious issues hopefully he manages to get his stuff together.
