“I personally have always had such a guilty conscience that from the get-go when I started streaming, I just Xed out the categories of gambling, of alcohol/drinking, drugs obviously, anything of the sort. And to be honest, I’ve missed out on a lot of money and a lot of sponsorships because of that.”

Regardless, Pokimane said that she sleeps better at night, knowing her streams are not helping people get into addictive activities. However, she also didn’t call out any streamer and played it safe by saying that it’s ultimately a personal choice and blaming streamers who engage in such streams, saying how this isn’t the right move.

Gambling on Twitch has become an extremely hot topic in the last few days, and there will surely be a lot more streamers talking about it in the future.
