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

But this is not what happened, streamers began abusing their position and those watching them enabled them, so Twitch has decided to finally take action against them, and while this is a step on the wrong direction when it comes to the popularity of cryptocurrency casinos, I think they did not gave Twitch any other choice.
