omgfriedbacon Posted 15 December, 2018 Share Posted 15 December, 2018 After some absence I wanted to check the casino on twitch and realised its not there at this moment. Maybe they're in the process of banning russian bot channels or something but this is the first time I've experienced this and I'm a little bit flabbergasted right now to be honest ? Link to comment
Viscid Posted 15 December, 2018 Share Posted 15 December, 2018 The UK Gambling Commission was investigating Twitch earlier this month for unlicensed casino website advertising: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2018-12-05-uk-gambling-commission-in-talks-with-twitch-over-casino-streams They may have removed the Casino category in order to comply with the Commission. This may be (hopefully) just a stop-gap measure until they can figure out how to deal with casino advertising on Twitch, such as banning advertising outright or restricting streams geographically.

Play The Game Posted 15 December, 2018 Share Posted 15 December, 2018 I think that they have removed only the streamers which are promoting these unlicensed casinos, I personally think its a good thing. Keeps the punters safe. Link to comment
SuperSmask Posted 15 December, 2018 Share Posted 15 December, 2018 Hopefully they are "cleaning" up the section. It's overdue as well. Way to many channels that are stealing content from others, without their consent, and just putting their own affiliate links in the descriptions. Link to comment
Letswin Posted 31 December, 2018 Share Posted 31 December, 2018 I hope "spelinspektionen" will go hard on swedish streamers to with links to unlicensed casinos after 1a jan. Report to them if you see something suspicious. https://www.lotteriinspektionen.se/om-oss/kontakta-oss/tipsa-oss/ Link to comment
