What is a gambling streamer?
A gambling streamer, also called a casino streamer or slot streamer, plays casino games live on camera while talking to a chat audience. Most are sponsored: a casino pays the streamer, funds the balance or both, and its name appears in the stream title, the overlay and a sign-up code. The main formats are:
- Slots: the core of the category, usually high-volatility games where rare bonus rounds produce the big wins.
- Bonus buys: paying a multiple of the bet, often 100x or more, to skip straight to a slot’s bonus round.
- Bonus hunts: collecting bonus rounds on many slots without playing them, then opening them all at the end of the stream.
- Max wins: hitting the capped top payout of a slot, such as 10,000x or 50,000x the bet.
- Live casino: blackjack, roulette and game shows run by real dealers from a studio.
- Originals: a casino’s in-house games such as crash, Plinko, dice and Keno.
- Sports betting: bet slips and live reactions, which platforms treat more leniently than casino play.
A short history of gambling streaming
- 2016: Roshtein and the Swedish channel CasinoDaddy start streaming slots on Twitch.
- 2018: Twitch launches a casino category in September with 18 channels. By December its slots category draws almost 5 million hours watched in a month.
- 2021: Slots draws about 287 million hours watched on Twitch during the year, second only to Just Chatting among non-gaming categories. In August, Twitch bans links and referral codes for slots, roulette and dice sites.
- 2022: The category reaches a then-record 36.3 million hours in March and an all-time high of 282,600 concurrent viewers on 22 July. In September, a streamer known as Sliker is reported to have misled fans and fellow streamers into giving him at least $200,000, which he gambled. Pokimane and other streamers call for a ban, and on 20 September Twitch announces that sites such as Stake, Rollbit, Duelbits and Roobet can no longer be streamed from 18 October.
- December 2022: Trainwreckstv announces Kick, a new platform that promises creators 95% of their revenue. Its ownership is not public at first, and it is later confirmed to have been founded by Stake co-founders Ed Craven and Bijan Tehrani.
- 2023: xQc signs a two-year deal with Kick in June, reported at nearly $70 million and rising to $100 million with incentives according to his agent. In August, Twitch adds Blaze and Gamdom to its banned list and says gambling viewership has fallen about 75%.
- 2025: From 1 February, Kick only allows gambling streams from sites that require ID verification. From 19 March, YouTube bars content that directs viewers to gambling sites Google has not approved.
- 2026: In June, Rainbet becomes the first official sponsor of Kick’s slots category, the first casino partner there after Stake.
Platform rules in 2026
| Platform | What is allowed | Main restrictions |
|---|---|---|
| Kick | Slots and casino streams have their own category, the home of most big gambling streamers. | Since 1 February 2025, only gambling sites that require ID verification may be streamed. Viewers can opt out of gambling content. Hourly partner pay no longer applies to Slots & Casino streams, according to reports from March 2025. |
| Twitch | Sports betting, poker, fantasy sports and gambling on licensed sites, all carrying a Gambling content label. | Named unlicensed sites, including Stake, Rollbit, Duelbits, Roobet, Blaze and Gamdom, cannot be streamed, promoted or shown as sponsors. Links and referral codes to any slots, roulette or dice site are also banned. |
| YouTube | Casino content that does not point viewers to unapproved sites. | Since 19 March 2025, links, logos and verbal mentions of gambling sites not approved by Google are banned, and online casino content is age-restricted to signed-in adults. |
How big is gambling streaming?
- Kick: Slots & Casino drew 12.43 million hours watched in the week to 10 October 2026, with 74,649 average viewers across 4,363 channels. That made it the fifth-largest category on the platform, according to Streams Charts.
- Twitch: the Slots category still drew 19.45 million hours watched in September 2026, mostly from licensed operators.
- Sponsors: Stream Hatchet counted 6,600 stream titles mentioning Stake on Twitch and Kick in January 2026, about 60% of all casino brand mentions and well ahead of 1xBet (1,800), Betano (837) and Winamax (653).
- Top creators: the same report ranked Trainwreckstv first, ClassyBeef second and Roshtein third among gambling creators by hours watched. All of the top 10 streamed on Kick.
- Languages: Kick’s largest language groups are Spanish (25.2% of hours), English (24.1%), Arabic (15.3%), Portuguese (9.0%), Turkish (6.6%), Japanese (4.3%) and Polish (3.9%). The top Slots & Casino channels in early October 2026 included Maherco (Arabic), Westcol (Spanish), TimTheTatman (English), ClassyBeef (English) and Vysotzky (Polish).
How gambling streamers make money
- Casino sponsorships: the main income for big names. Trainwreckstv said in October 2022 that he had been paid $360 million for 16 months of gambling streams, a figure Stake has never confirmed. xQc said in March 2026 that he receives a flat $200,000 per gambling session.
- Affiliate codes: viewers who sign up with a streamer’s code are tracked to that streamer, who earns a share of the casino’s revenue from those players or a fixed fee per depositing player.
- Platform contracts: Kick signed xQc in 2023 on a two-year deal reported at nearly $70 million, which his agent said could reach $100 million with incentives.
- Subscriptions and tips: Kick pays creators 95% of subscription revenue.
- Game studios: some streamers now hold stakes in slot studios. Trainwreckstv was announced as a co-owner of Donut Gaming in May 2026.
Our guide to the richest casino streamers covers the estimates in more detail.
Do gambling streamers play with real money?
Often the money is not entirely their own. The documented cases are:
- Stream Hatchet’s content manager told iGaming Business that “a lot of Kick streamers” are given a bankroll by Stake itself.
- xQc has acknowledged on stream that he receives money from Stake.
- A class action filed in Missouri in October 2025 against Stake.us, Drake and Adin Ross alleges that the two promoted gambling while playing with “house money”. Ross has dismissed the lawsuit.
- Bloomberg Businessweek analysed about 1,500 hours of footage of 25 gamblers and found that Drake won big roughly four times as often as average on slots operated by Stake’s parent company. Stake called the findings “categorically incorrect”.
Streamers including Trainwreckstv and Roshtein deny playing with fake balances, and most accusations between streamers have never been proven. The practical point for viewers is that a sponsored streamer’s risk is different from yours. Someone paid a flat fee per session can lose on stream and still finish ahead. A viewer who copies the same bets cannot.
How regulators treat gambling streams
- United Kingdom: gambling ads must not strongly appeal to under-18s. Stake’s UK site closed by 11 March 2025, after the Gambling Commission opened an investigation.
- Germany: the regulator GGL bars even licensed operators from regular streamer advertising, and in July 2024 a court upheld its order stopping a Kick streamer from advertising unlicensed gambling.
- Netherlands: in March 2026 the regulator KSA told licensed operators to end all influencer and streamer deals.
- Australia: the media regulator ACMA warns that promoting illegal gambling services can cost an individual up to A$59,400, and up to A$2,475,000 for facilitating access to them.
- United States: the Los Angeles City Attorney sued Stake.us, Kick and others in August 2025, and private lawsuits naming Drake and Adin Ross followed in Missouri and Virginia.
The risks of watching gambling streams
Research on gambling streams is recent, but it points one way. A University of Sydney study of 350 viewers found that most said they were more likely to gamble after watching. A University of British Columbia study of 120 young adults who had not gambled in the past year found that the more they watched, the more they intended to start. Neither study proves cause and effect.
The streamers say it themselves. Trainwreckstv runs an on-screen banner that reads “DO NOT GAMBLE – YOU WILL LOSE”. Treat gambling streams as sponsored entertainment, not as evidence of what you can expect to win. If you play, compare licensed and tested sites in our crypto casino reviews, set a loss limit first, and contact BeGambleAware or a local support service if gambling stops being fun.
How we research streamer profiles
Each profile is built from the streamer’s own channels and statements, viewership trackers such as Streams Charts, and press reporting, with sources listed at the bottom of the page. Three caveats apply across the directory:
- Win and loss figures are the amounts shown on stream. None is independently audited.
- Net worth figures are third-party estimates, and sponsorship values are often self-reported.
- Allegations are labelled as allegations, with the response of the person concerned where one exists.
Gambling streamer FAQ
Do gambling streamers use real money?
Often the money is sponsor-funded. Some streamers are given bankrolls or flat fees by casinos, xQc has acknowledged receiving money from Stake, and US lawsuits allege that Drake and Adin Ross played with house money, which Ross rejects. Others, including Trainwreckstv and Roshtein, say they play with their own funds.
Why did Twitch ban gambling?
Twitch did not ban all gambling. In September 2022, after a streamer was reported to have misled fans and fellow streamers into giving him at least $200,000 to gamble, Twitch banned streams of slots, roulette and dice sites that are not licensed in the US or similar jurisdictions. Stake, Rollbit, Duelbits and Roobet were named, and Blaze and Gamdom were added in August 2023.
Is gambling allowed on Kick?
Yes. Kick has a Slots & Casino category, but since 1 February 2025 streamers may only show gambling sites that require ID verification. Viewers can opt out of seeing gambling content.
Who is the biggest gambling streamer?
By hours watched, Stream Hatchet ranked Trainwreckstv first among gambling creators in January 2026, ahead of ClassyBeef and Roshtein. By followers, Adin Ross is the largest Kick streamer who regularly gambles, with about 2.2 million followers in October 2026.
How much do casino streamers make?
Only self-reported and press-reported figures exist. Trainwreckstv has claimed $360 million over 16 months from his sponsor, and xQc has said he is paid $200,000 per gambling session. Smaller streamers earn far less, mainly from affiliate commissions.
Which casino sponsors the most streamers?
Stake. Stream Hatchet found that Stake accounted for about 60% of casino brand mentions in stream titles on Twitch and Kick in January 2026.
Does Stake own Kick?
Kick and Stake share the same founders, Ed Craven and Bijan Tehrani. Kick launched in December 2022, shortly after Twitch banned streams of Stake.
