Twitch is a top-tier live-streaming platform, with millions of users who have distinct tastes in content. Twitch has a variety of stream categories to cater to that wide range of audiences. One of the categories that saw a lot of popularity in the last couple of years was gambling. But this category has been banned by Twitch after several controversies.

However, it has once again become a controversial topic for Twitch after the Brazilian soccer player Neymar was found gambling on the platform. This led many renowned streamers like xQc to point fingers at the purple platform. Moreover, this controversy also gained the attention of the “YouTube King” MrBeast.

It is no secret that the Amazon-owned livestreaming platform banned gambling, especially because of the huge controversy with Slicker. Recently the Brazilian soccer player Neymar livestreamed on Twitch. But what was more intriguing was him doing a gambling stream and didn’t receive any penalty from Twitch for doing so.

Later, the Canadian streamer xQc reacted to a small clip of Neymar gambling on Twitch. He raised questions against Twitch’s policy and claimed them to be partial towards the Brazilian star. This reaction by the 27-year-old streamer went viral on the internet and MrBeast’s eyes fell on this news. The YouTube creator was stunned to find out Neymar streamed gambling on Twitch.

Now some might wonder why xQc is reacting so much to this case. As he can simply ignore this stream if it’s against his morals. But the reason for xQc’s frustration is him once being a successful gambling streamer on the purple platform beside the likes of Trainwreckstv. However, the 27-year-old had to leave gambling streams because of Twitch’s prohibition on it.

Now this kind of inconsistency from Twitch might force its users to move to another livestreaming platform. Recently, Adin Ross and Trainwreckstv hinted at a major Twitch streamer joining the new platform called Kick. After this latest Twitch controversy, xQc might switch to Kick. Additionally, this new platform allows streamers to do gambling streams because of its ties to Stake.com.
