Technology has increased drastically over the years. The amount of effort we had to take to play video games back then is now available with a single click. This has been also the case for the gambling industry, as we have seen a sudden spike in online gambling in the past few years.

Over the years, online gambling has had users from all across the globe. During the pandemic, this industry reported over $66.72 billion overall. Users from all across the world were seen hooked on their screens in terms of betting, casino poker, and online betting. It proves the addiction it has provoked in people, as 2020 wasn’t a good year for anyone. Today we talk about one such person, popularly known as xQc. 

Félix Lengyel started as a League of Legends player and then moved on to become the most valuable player in Overwatch in 2017. He is a full-time Twitch streamer with over 10.7 million followers.

After too many fan requests from their fans, xQc, and Pokimane got together for their most anticipated video podcast. It was a five-hour-long Twitch stream. The creators dived deep into each other’s personal lives, painting a picture of their personal lives.

xQc turned out to be the first episode’s spotlight as claimed to have lost over $1.85 million in gambling in the past month. He seemed pretty cool about it which left Pokimane in shock. Despite gambling being unhealthy and affecting his health, he confessed to having gambling issues. 

The stream continued, with both of them bombarding questions at each other about different things. They mainly spoke about sponsorships and how streamers are only trying to earn through their promotions without looking at the ethical aspects. 

In past times, when asked by fans, xQc has accepted his gambling addiction. In a Twitch stream he said, “Every game I play, all I do is gamble. Everywhere I go, I just gamble, that’s all I do. I think it’s fun, I’m addicted. I have one of the biggest most insanely addicting personality you’ll ever find. I’m addicted to everything I do. I’m just easily addicted”
