Twitch is banning major gambling websites in October
a significant change to its policy amidst rising concerns about the presence of gambling streams on the platform. On Twitter, Twitch said it will prohibit the streaming of gambling websites that feature slots, roulette and dice games unlicensed in the US and other regions that"provide sufficient consumer protection." The policy change will take effect on October 18th, and Twitch promises to release the full policy language and more details before that date.
So far, the list of banned sites include some of the most well-known ones out there, including Stake.com, Rollbit.com, Duelbits.com and Roobet.com. Not a surprise, since you could already find plenty of streams on Twitch with gambling content from those domains. Twitch says that it"may identify others" going forward, so the list of banned websites will likely grow longer.
