We did it y all Pokimane lauds community for its efforts in getting gambling content banned from Twitch

By Shreyan Mukherjee Modified 21 Sep 2022 Follow Us 1 Comment Share Pokimane celebrates Twitch update (Image via Sportskeeda) Twitch streamer Imane "Pokimane" took to her Twitter account to share a celebratory message with her fans after Twitch demoted gambling streams. Imane has been among the frontrunners of the recent uproar against betting sponsorships and gambling promotions on the Amazon-owned platform. For those unaware, an outcry against gambling streams such as slot machines and roulette games was generated after ItsSliker, a Twitch streamer, was found guilty of bilking fans and streamers off thousands of dollars. As a result, Twitch finally issued a statement de-platforming gambling. Reacting to the news, Imane celebrated: "We did it y'all." pokimane ?@pokimanelolwe did it y’all.

Pokimane celebrates the latest Twitch update

Pokimane, along with other major influencers such as Ludwig, Matthew "Mizkif". and Zack "Asmongold" have all joined forces to encourage the purple platform to remove/de-platform gambling as a category. Earlier today, Twitch's official Twitter handle shared an official announcement recording their statement regarding the betting policies. As per the tweet, they have decided to "prohibit" any promotion of "slots", "roulette" or "dice" games.

Among them are streamers who promote gambling-driven content such as slot machine games and betting sponsorships. Streamers and influencers such as Corinna Kopf, Adin Ross, Tyler "Trainwreckstv" and Felix "xQc" are all known for their close associations with the gambling website Stake.com. Tyler, in particular, has been vocal about his thoughts regarding the suspension. He has delineated that banning the category is not going to tackle the real issue. Regardless of their objections, Twitch has finally taken the action, which many believe to be the right one. Pokimane, before sharing the celebratory post, had also teamed up with streamers like Hasan "HasanAbi" to discuss the drawbacks of gambling addiction.

In addition to the infamous category being de-platformed, Twitch has also declared that they will be revising their policies in accordance with the new updates. Fans are presently awaiting responses from streamers who practice slot machines and roulette games. ItsSliker, the source of all the outcry, has also been removed from his position as a Twitch partner, meaning his channel is no longer monetized.
