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/1571309473402355712


Twitch 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.

Update: Twitch has placed a ban on off shore casinos.

I always see to it that my kids won't access this website. It's not for kids at all, most streamers are gamers and gamblers and most are an adult types of games. I'd rather subscribe them on streamers in youtube with contents that don't curse, or adults that makes kids contents. i.e. Blippi  Grin

About what they do making a pool of donated funds to be gambled, it's all up to who will send them the money.
If you think it's a waste then don't. It's not like they are forcing you to send the money. In fact, they are almost begging for funds to come in.
It's also a battle of popularity, if you are not known at all, you might end up not receiving even a penny.
