Interesting. So to Twitch, there is a difference between gambling games like slots, roulette, and dice compare to gambling activities like poker and sports betting? Heck, lootbox is considered as gambling in some countries but I bet there are plenty of streamers who did the lootbox stream. esport like CSGO, Dota2 betting on live there right now, on the casting channel and no one bat an eye.

Very inconsistent treatment from Twitch. Like they did that on a whim and tho I said I don't like gambling advertising near kids, this is very unfair treatment of gambling games.
Maybe Twitch think slots, roulette and dice are luck based games where any users can play without thinking any strategy (of course there's no strategy on luck based games). While poker and sports betting are skill based games where you can actually earn money if you're very good analyst.

However I tend to agree lootbox stream or gacha should be considered as lucky based games since it works similar like slots, roulette and dice. Actually there's many cases where a kids borrow their parents credit card only for lootbox stream or gacha.
