The streamer revealed that Kick did not ask any of such things to him while discussing the contract. xQc further speculates that RiceGum himself has brought up this topic to the Kick staff and was displeased by the number they offered. He said, “He’s probably gone mad that the amount was not enough. That’s just how it is.”

They literally don’t promote it at all like they even made sure to add a setting where you dont even have to see the gambling streams

However, some fans believe RiceGum is actually stating facts. They believe Kick is subtly promoting gambling for its partner company Stake.

Until he shows us, how does any of you know what was written on that piece of paper Kick gave him? And why hasn’t Kick denied it? As much as you guys have this brand loyalty for Kick, you nor xQc simply don’t know what went on behind business doors.
