It’s important to note though that Twitch has not placed an outright ban on gambling content. Content that features sports betting, poker, and fantasy sports will still be allowed. Meanwhile the streaming of slots, roulette, and dice is only banned if the websites in question are not licensed in a country or state that provides ‘sufficient consumer protection’.
One of the gambling companies that will be severely impacted by the ban is Stake.com. The company is one of the most popular streamed slots sites on Twitch with top streamers regularly featuring slots from the website on their streams. Others mentioned by Twitch include Duelbits.com, Rollbit.com, and Roobit.com
