The type of gambling Slicker was engaged in was regulated sports betting. So, the ban on unregulated gambling doesn't even cover the Slicker situation.

Twitch has several large contracts with sports gambling on their site as wll.

Makes you really wonder about the true motivations of the selectivity of the ban.

What if.. the two are entirely unrelated and you only make the connection because your $STREAMER is involved in pointless drama?

Power law, folks.

pretty sure said $STREAMERS are some of the biggest ones in the platform, and said pointless drama was started due to some of them asking twitch to ban said gambling. Occam's razor and all that, especially when you have headlines like these that do a pretty good job of making twitch look good while not actually banning gambling really.
