However, in a shocking turn of events, the streamer picked Rumble to be his new platform over Kick. This has left multiple fans astonished, with some questioning was the Kick deal not lucrative enough. Now RiceGum has himself come forward and revealed the actual reason for dropping Kick.

RiceGum dropped Kick for making him do something other than content creation

In his latest Twitch stream, RiceGum talked about the deals sent by both Kick and Rumble. And after comparing the two deals, the 26-year-old felt the Rumble deal to be better. He took shots at Kick saying, “Maybe they spent all their bread on xQc and Adin.” Furthermore, the streamer revealed the conditions placed by Kick in their deal.

He said, “I could stream but to make the most possible [money] on Kick they wanted me to gamble like 30 days or something.” This clause may be due to the parent company of Kick. The Twitch rival is a subsidiary of an online crypto-gambling website called Stake. One of Kick’s main investors, Ed Craven, also has some shares in Stake.

Although all the facts of this deal are not in the public eye right now, Kick looking to promote gambling may be due to its parent company. However, the platform has also taken steps to give users ease to disable gambling streams if they want to.

On the other hand, RiceGum found the Rumble deal to be superior. He said the platform was willing to accept him without clauses as he said, “They just want me to make content.” However, multiple fans of the streamer have still asked the streamer to take the Kick deal.
