Louie says he doesn't have a price we're going to gaming streams, a billion dollars. I say no if it's, but i think that's because i haven't that is massive cappuccino enough confidence in the trajectory of everything that i'm doing, and i have so many employees that if i just keep doing what i'm doing, all of my friends and family will do Very well i dead, ass, don't have a price, you know what here comes the straw. Man, i think playing poker is gamba. I think it literally is gamba and it's the very nature of it.

The nature of the behavior is gambling. You bet you gamba. There is a stake and there's money involved with a desirable outcome. The very root behavior of you playing poker is gambling, and i mean i mean he held an entire event for it, with a hundred thousand dollars being lost and de-printed you're right.

It's not it's not. It's not promoting the website, you're right, it's promoting to give you to go to the casino directly in real life and go ahead and give people right there in real life, probably right next door, yeah right there. I know i'm watching this hold up. You don't wan na gamble sponsorship and if you go off a lot of my four that's cool, no one thinks gambling is good.

Everyone thinks gambling is a bad thing. It's not a good thing. No one! You can't make an argument say: gambling is good um, but i just think everyone has a price at the end of the day, including myself. I've already said that if i got offered not everybody has a price.

Neither is the price that, but not everybody likes gamble. Either i you guys, i i agree with this: okay, but also not not everybody likes gamba as much as i do, and now people enjoy and and are just overall natural gamblers, i'm i'm an in i'm a degenerate brain rot, gambler literally so when it comes down To me, gambling yeah, it's it's working for me to do it. Do i think i take it realistically, i enjoy it. If i got paid a quarter billion dollars a year.

I i would be like question marking myself every second and being like what the do. I do and i'm sorry i'm human guys. The same way. I was offered literally half a million or a million to play mobile games for a certain amount of hours and what happened? I said no because why, because naturally, some of these games - i don't like playing them.

I don't have fun doing them, so i'm less prone to taking them, because i i can't justify spending my time doing this when i could do something else. Instead, literally, i i i'm more prone to it, because i like it, i i'm not going to sugarcoat it and say that i would not and i'm some moral god. I think everyone does have a price at the end of the day, just a matter of how high uh 20 million dollars a month, i'm saying chat not a year a month, xqc doesn't say that no one thinks gambling you made an average war zone. I didn't like it: okay, okay, me molding, the war zone doesn't mean i didn't enjoy it.

People were sniping and hacking. It. Okay, you wan na know the truth about warzone sponsorship i played off-stream literally, i ended up. I ended up playing warzone off screaming for hours.

After i turned off the stream because i enjoyed half his income on amaranth feet picks what here's another take here comes um, baga chaser i mean everybody does that, but at least i'm not gambling, i'm kidding i'm kidding i'm kidding anyway. Well, i'm not kidding because i'm not doing that, never will but um anyway um the ads yeah. There's a lot less ads here too. Twitch has a lot of ads, so that's the whole thing omega lol guys.

I don't want to say too much because a lot of them are my friends, but i'm not even joking. I open up. I don't even agree with this either i i i i it doesn't matter if i'm his friend or he has a lot of friends. If you have a take about about that is anti-gamba, you should just say it.

I don't give a i'm, not i'm not gon na hold anybody. I can't really be mad at them, i'm also against gamba. If you, if you want to go against me, go ahead, they should go against me. I don't want and then they say, oh i'm his friend, so i'm not gon na go against them.

Go ahead. I don't give a twitch. I don't use the site all right. I switched to youtube, but i still use it a lot of my friends are there.

I opened up the site and the top of the top five english streamers. Three of them were just gambling. So when you have three out of your top five english-speaking streamers doing that it's i don't know man i feel like twitch, i don't know i mean, is what it is, but um yeah um, but that's really all i can say about that. I mean not only do i tell you that you shouldn't gamble.

I also think that, ultimately it it should eventually, if not even right, now get banned off the twitch literally. I said it ludwig asked me today about it. I i he said it. It shouldn't be banned, he said sponsory band, you know what i i told me was wrong.

I told i told you i told ludwig, that it should that it only not not only the the sponsor part. I think gambling overall should be abandoned literally. It should then stop well, i enjoy doing it, so i do it. Oh, what else um, what i'm gon na tell you something? That's gon na shock.

All of you, i'm a gambling addict. I know i haven't really talked about it much, but it's true and shocking. You guys you guys um cancer, i don't care sweat man um five years ago. It got so bad.

I had one hundred dollars left in my bank account and you know what i did with that hundred. I gambled it on a mario party, four minigame against slime. You know what i didn't. You know.

I did it with this guy. You know this guy i had i. I had a sort of amount left in my bitcoin wallet. You know what i didn't i went to.

I went. I started off as gaming. I i went through the to his casino, you know what i did. I lost all of it.

I lost all of it. I gambled it and in his serious presence - and you know what he got a portion of that money joining - i got yawned yep and lost. I panicked didn't know what to do so. I asked for a double or nothing knowing that if i lost the double or nothing, i would have zero weights.

It's true. The final two does about how you twist it. It doesn't matter how you twist it that happened. 100 - and i would have to embarrassingly go walk away from the bet.

Luckily i won - i told slime about that months later and he forgave me, but but it just shows how bad my gambling addiction got. Honestly, there was no greater rush in my life than the opportunity to lose every last penny i had. I can't do that now because i have 15 employees, so you're welcome gallon for not gambling your children's future college funds away, but i'm not the only streamer with that gambling issue. Xqc has the same problem: here's a clip of him on pokey's, podcast off stream.

Then on stream yeah, i i'm the dick i gamble. Every day i lost two million. Really i lost 1.85 million. He lost one well in my in my defen in my defense, um.

The the machine, the machines were just being weird um tom - was being a piece of um. They did it a while. I i'm like 85 million dollars off stream. The machines will be a bunch of it got so bad that his dad called him on stream about how worried he was.

It's it's a problem for him, but he's bringing the problem offline to the off. Also for all the pairs, social, andies and vicar's lovers. You guys guys, that's it that the i hope you understand this okay, my dad my dad talks in a way is it that people don't understand it? Okay, you interact with your own family in certain ways that nobody will ever understand it. Family, family problems and behaviors are you're all your own.

Okay. The way that i talk to my dad is how i talk to my dad. You shouldn't come in and try to analyze what he's saying and how he's saying and what it means. My dad does.

A lot of sag farming in real life, he it's just just what he does it's just what he does sometimes he'll think something really funny and make it really sad on purpose and he's like something really sad make it really funny it's just what he does he's Really uh he farms emotes in real life. He does that he's a farmer realm, because this week he went back every time my dad comes on stream. He he's clipped on reddit. Why cause he farms emotes? That's what he does online gambling streams uh.

This went on. Lsf, it went on r forward slash all. It was big, big news. Why? Because he's the biggest stream of the world and also he said he wouldn't do it like.

What more can i do? This is a clip from 10 months ago, when he used to gamble online, then there's a whole shitstorm about it. There was an h3h3 podcast and then he said this. What we're gon na do you you shouldn't give up on streaming. You shouldn't.

Do it? We've known this, i said it, don't don't do it, i'm sorry for doing it. No you're, i'm not saying this, i'm just sorry that i gave it on stream. Okay, he went back to doing it now. He says he changed his mind and that he's not a hypocrite.

He just no longer feels that way. He felt pressured back then, but understandably after fans saw this for five hours today, a few of them were mad, and this post, i think, speaks volumes. It's 3 000 uploaded one of the top posts in a subreddit, and it basically says that i don't want to watch you anymore, because what you are doing is making me sad and i've been watching for like four years and - and i don't know, i didn't think You would do this uh and xqc replied in the most insane fashion by doubling down - and just saying i don't know down he's lying, i tripled and critical down. That's what i did i quadrupled down.

Why? Because initially people made the problem, something that it's not. Instead of disproving them, it was easier to say it: oh yeah you're right whatever the, because everybody was so deluded. If you don't remember after the issue departure podcast people were like oh dude. This is what is real and you know what dude.

That is just not how it is that there's a lot of misinformation. There was a lot of misinformation. It was a so dog, it was so bad. I am not a role model for you guys if you don't like it leave, which you know fair enough.

He's not the only streamer doing this, but why would he do it? Why do this gambling online if people are gon na, get really really mad at you, and i can only think of two good reasons: one you're already addicted and doing it offline. So you might as well do it online and two, if you do it sponsored you're gon na make a ton of money. Now the main culprit of all the online gamblings uh is stake, that is the main partner uh and they sponsor aiden ross. They sponsor xqc and they also sponsor train.

How much do they pay these people? I don't know how much they pay xqc, but what what these guys's deals were is their own thing. Okay, they can apply their morals and their ethics to their own deals. Okay. Okay, me and train have complete different things that doesn't do some of the things that i hate at least four million dollars a month, which is crazy, that that is an insane amount of money in a year that is more than ninja made on his mixer deal.

That is more than tom brady makes on his nfl contract. It's a ton of money. It's it's! It's it's hard to say no to that amount of money. Uh and look, i'm not a high road guy.

I'm not here to say that! Oh i am much better. I would never take it less way, less gambling sponsorship, but i don't mind, is way less because it's raw balance, when will people understand it's way way way way way way because it's raw balance. That's because i have devout morals that i stand by to a t or because i don't want the backlash of people to be mad at me, and i like the same thing. This is why being transparent is impossible.

What's with people that are outraged, because when, if i, if i, if i tell you what it is, if i tell you what it is and what it's about you say: kappa ain't, there's no contract, there's no cons! I i can't just just stop this check. I genuinely don't know the answer to that question. What the is wrong with you, but guys. I think these deals are, we called filler deals and they have they have to make.

They have to make probably tweets. They have to push their their promotional codes. I this is not with stake. It's with rubet, it is not.

The same company have devout morals that i stand by to a t or because i don't want the backlash of people not mad at me, and i, like the audience i've cultivated and don't want to disappoint people. I genuinely it is not almost the same. It's raw balance, raw balance shows you what the happens when you put the juice in it goes down these deals. They have fillers, it fills up, it fills up and when they win it they don't win the whole thing: it's not their juice, so they act like they're happy, but it shows a false reality of what gamble is it's it's.

It's a complete false made up fantasy. I don't know the answer to that question, which is a problem that i have to deal with, but that's me being honest. Look it's not really done out of the top 1 000 streamers have done a crypto gambling stream, all right they it's too tempting. I mean look at the king himself: train wreck he's on a 38-hour stream right now, gambling the entire way and the gambling is pretty liked.

He is a top 11 streamer in the world. Okay, if you see this graph right here, his main success has come from gambling. People said a year ago that it would fall, i'm not explaining it right. Okay, okay, i'll, explain to you very very carefully: okay, okay raw balances.

I have my own juice. I get more juice, the juice okay, then, when i gamble i i gamba and if it goes down and goes to nothing, it goes down and goes nothing and i keep nothing. But if i win and i get something or i stay flat, i keep those amounts. Some of these deals are some like: oh dude, i'm gon na go and it's going to refill, and but if i win, i only keep a certain portion of it right.

So so the literally the whole point of gamba is high risk high reward with the house. Having an edge high risk reward, these deals, they cut the risk and they cut to the reward and make it a stagnant promotional dog that shows something that is not real. It's a fairness, it's fake! That's not even close to the same thing. People get bored of the gambling no he's bigger than ever people like gambling content they just like watching it.

I have three stats for you guys. The first one over 60 of americans have gambled in the past year. The second one, over 80 percent of americans are okay with gambling, the third stat. This is a swedish study.

It studied about 2 100 addicted gamblers about 20 of them attempted suicide. It's a problem, but i don't think the onus of whether you gamble or do not gamble should ever be on the streamer. I have a theory where i just feel like. We shouldn't rely on humans to go down morality that we are looking for.

They should not be the ethical person, it should be the platform. The platform is the one that should dictate what is okay and not okay, rather than hoping that thousands and thousands of people will all abide by loose guidelines that we all think people should abide by. Now this is the current guidelines for twitch on gambling and it says to prevent harm and scams created by questionable gambling services that sponsor content on twitch. We will prohibit sharing links or referral codes.

So if you ever tune into train wreck stream, it will say do not gamble and anytime, he wins. It'll say, do not start. Gambling is entertainment, entertainment only you won't break. Even you want women.

You won't do any of that. This plays every time. He does a big win, which you know: okay, good job, maybe stopping that a little bit. That's nice, but that's not gon na stop people, and i know that firsthand because i remember early on when i had my sponsored poker streams.

I would do a little bit of blackjack offline. I would take my poker winnings and play blackjack with it, and one day i went up big. I spun up like, like 1k, all the way to like it's hollow, and that was a lot of money. It's still a lot of money and i went and told slime - and i and i was like oh but but don't please don't gamble it because i know he has a gambling addiction himself and he didn't the next day.

I wanted to make my ten thousand into twenty and i lost all of it. I went from ten thousand to zero and i went to tell slime and i said dude. I lost everything he's like. Ah, that sucks man that same night slime without telling me put 500 onto the online casino to spin it up after seeing me lose.

He did it, and i asked him why i was like dude, i lost. Why would you put in money he's like? I don't know man, i just wanted to hit the dream one time and that's it: okay, okay, this gum from a rich trimmer who can afford losing money to another guy who can afford losing money? I i i don't know the argument that people always make is: oh, this is a bad influence for the kids. Oh, oh guys, some millionaire is is gambling with disposable income, guys uh wow, the kids can't really get their hands on a lot of money. Yeah.

Maybe there's what what is the main point? The train says it's intimidating them only it's not even people that can afford it. We were rich or whatever kid getting his mom's card and buying bitcoin and then putting it into steak.com and gambling. But i think the bigger problem are the gambling addicts, the addictive personalities, the people who know in their head that it is rigged that this is mathematically meant to maintain, but do not have the self-control to not gamble and any slight trigger will send them over the Edge and you can say well, then just don't watch the content, but it's it's hard. It's hard as a gambling addict.

Okay, a little thing can just make you just have the urge to bet, and it happens to me a lot. It happens to me a ton, but i try to avoid it because i have 15 employees and i don't want to let them all down and lose all their money uh. But it's it's scary. So i i have a new rule, a new guideline that i think would solve gambling online in gambling ban it.

It should benefit no sponsored gambling streams. I don't mean i don't agree with this. I think you should benefit overall, do not allow sponsored gambling streams because there's two major problems with it: one you have people who are getting a ton of money, millions and millions of dollars, so they are gambling way more recklessly. I totally believe that train is gambling with his own money, but he's also making so much money that he's able to gamble a million dollars and lose it in a day because he's going to get 10 million dollars that month or some.

And i don't think that that should be a lot. I think it's too reckless. If train lost a million dollars and had zero sponsor, he couldn't do this forever. He couldn't do it for a year straight because after 10 months he would have zero dollars in his bank account.

Now i'm not saying i want training to lose all his money, but at least that wouldn't make him gamble for 38 hours straight, knowing that he always has the following. I i i think i've been transmitting about this no um come to church, i'm not not nominated. Maybe some of them? Oh, why trust you? When you aren't trying? I was just bad about it. When was i not transparent, the cash cow coming back in that's the first problem, people gambling too much money because they're getting paid too much money.

The second problem? What part of transparency am i missing are streamers, who use fake money to gamble? I don't think xuc or trainer doing this, but i do know this happens because it was in a coffeezilla video uh, and this is this - is the main culprit steve will do it i'll just roll the clip? If i started like putting my own money, i feel like i'm like if i just filled myself before thousands like right, like i feel like i could like, but also it could be dangerous. But i see it as no point of putting my body in your mind through that type of stress. I don't need it in a sponsored gambling stream in mexico, where he lives part-time. To do these sponsored gambling streams.

He came to the realization that all gambling, with your own money, could be stressful and bad for your life. That's crazy! That's that's! How do you? How do you find that out, then that's like showing up to a kkk rally and being like? Oh dude, the race is here dude, oh, i just thought it was like costume day. That's crazy to me. It makes no damn sense, but that's that's my new rule twitch.

If you're watching this, maybe consider it. I don't know. I think it's good. No sponsored gambling streams that would stop everything again.

Stop us from getting mad at a streamer for taking gambling able to make millions of dollars, not that it's okay to do that, because they're obviously aware and know that they're getting the return if they actually see the exact same deal, how do you know see? Is it like this i'm talking about about talking about that about truth with chat, sometimes uh, it's really because misinformation just spreads faster than truth. Look at this look at this guy. That's the emoji people that say this: how is it the same deal you're, you're, so you're so lost man, that is a rubette fail deal compared to a stake raw balance deal. How how does that make any sense? How are the main sense hmm give me.
