The rate of scam gambling sites keep increasing as the day goes by and I might not blame them much for their decisions. But prohibiting shared links or referral codes to sites that offer slots , roulette, or dice games will not cause any impact on crypto casinos because streamers has till 17th of August and certainly a new option will however emerge. It's a digital society and I see this as room for other hidden streaming sites to Emerge.

Well, it's not the crypto gambling that may affected but related twitch gambling streaming may tend to decrease because these streamers may find another platform to stream it live. These streamers will still have time to remind their viewers where and when they'll transition.
Moreover, I think this isn't will be the issue with the links it might be more than that, maybe they'll restrict streaming gambling in the future and this is just the pre-announcement for that.

Too many kids are watching these streams, mostly sponsored by casinos! And it's insane how they play with high stakes, buying bonus rounds with thousands of dollars, and winning with the last money, usually some insane win! Twitch will just follow regulations if they wish to continue working! I think the same, gambling streamers will find a new platform! It will be interesting to see what will they choose... I am not sure is there some alternative for them at the moment!?

Well, it is true for a fact that scams of many types of casinos have been increasing and don't really seem to be actually stopping, so it was quite understandable for twitch to actually do this. As for it affecting crypto gambling, I don't think it should affect it much? I mean there are still other platforms and as long as we don't have numbers that actually show how much of an influence twitch has onto the crypto gambling scene. Highly doubt it's THAT high though, that it would actually affect the visitors that platforms actually have.

I wouldn't be surprise if Youtube would also do this, banning/removing gambling related links. I've seen a lot of gambling site reviews lately in youtube that turn out to be a scam. So I think youtube should also do this but I don't think when.

I don't think it will impact the crypto gambling's existing Market because people already know which one to go but may slow down the adoption rate since the promotion of legit site also prohibited. But as of now it will create no impact at all since the gambling sites mainly concentrate on YouTube streaming media than others and also there are lot of other ways to bring their promotion.

For now the Twitch company has grown rapidly more than 15 million users worldwide, currently those who use this platform with a total monthly visitor can reach 140 million, YouTube, Facebook, can be beat by Amazon's subsidiary company (Switch) for now in terms of playing games directly, with smartphones being the best choice today among young people over 18 years old. If this update is implemented by the Twitch company, I think it will have a big impact on them especially users and revenue. "To prevent harm and scams created by questionable gambling services that sponsor content on Twitch, we will prohibit sharing links and/or referral codes to sites that offer slots, roulette, or dice games,” For now they are very well received in the field of live online gaming, for that I think they should consider what percentage of people like slots, roulette and craps, and what percentage do not like, before deciding on this policy. If this is not considered, it can affect their own company, I think if their reason is gambling that leads to fraud, they just need to remove the gambling content, instead of referring to honest and responsible gambling sites.

That is a good move for them as they want to limit the gambling site indicates scam so they can not get more attention from the audiences. It is a kind of responsibility for them to always warn the scammer because I think much younger generations use that platform and do not want to see the addicted people to gambling increase.
But if the other platform is not doing the same as Twitch, those scam gambling sites can use other social media to influence the audience to play gambling. But hopefully, it can impact the scam gambling site so they do not even try to use the other platform to scam people.

The idea is good to prevent people from getting scammed by scam website but it is not really fair for legit gambling sites that used to promote the casino games by partnering with popular twitch streamers. I'm not a fan of twitch as well as gambling streamers but in terms of marketing strategy of legit casinos, I do not think it is a good move from twitch. Probably it will be better if twitch have a filter to allow legit streamers who promote legit casinos.

Do you foresee any Impact on crypto gambling? of course it has a lot of negative impact for cryptocurrency-related casinos, I can name two big impacts: 1 - first impact: the reputation of cryptocurrency-related casinos is worse than before, for the people of Twitch to ask Twitch to take this step, means that the reputation of cryptocurrency-related casinos has declined more than usual, now the related casinos with cryptocurrencies are seen as a big scam, that's definitely bad 2 - second impact: There are also people who managed to get referrals to legitimate casinos that now, with this measure, will no longer have referrals in this way.

I think it will have impact not only on crypto gambling, but on all forms of online gambling. Twitch is a very popular streaming platform, maybe the biggest gambling sites promoter as of today.
However, I think it might even be for the best. Indeed streamers tend to advertise scam, or make people believe that winning in gambling is easy, and can make you rich. Many people still fall for that and then gain and spread false impression about the whole gambling industry.
It’s a pity, that it has come to this, as there was decent content as well, but maybe it will change things in a good way.

maybe there were too many complaints why they finally implement this restriction to streamers. because they will not resort to this action if they were not receiving significant feedback. streamers actually have the tendency to over exaggerate things that their followers can be deceived by their actions. for now, it will be good for the community. a lot of people are gullible, let's admit it. and if it is endorsed by the gamers they looked up to, some of them won't think twice.

You are right! They wont really be making out such conclusion if there were no complaints that do came from the community members.If they would saw that there's some rampant complaints then its just normal that they would really be taking action against that. Twitch is just really doing their job on protecting out their users specially if it turns out that addiction had become a big problem due to those influencers or vloggers.

i agree with this one, now twitch viewers when they see this, they will have a lot of doubts about every crypto casino, but it does prevent a lot of people getting scammed, Trainwrecks (a twitch streamer) said that he made $250k from referral codes, imagine how many people he got to join the casino he promoted, and now imagine if the casino he promoted ended up being a scam, the number of victims would be incredibly high.

The rate of scam gambling sites keep increasing as the day goes by and I might not blame them much for their decisions. But prohibiting shared links or referral codes to sites that offer slots , roulette, or dice games will not cause any impact on crypto casinos because streamers has till 17th of August and certainly a new option will however emerge. It's a digital society and I see this as room for other hidden streaming sites to Emerge.
I am not sure what option are you referring to? as most crypto casinos offer dice games in general they will surely be affected. Twitch users who promote these sites have to remove the referral link, which means they have to compromise on their affiliate earning. If they are okay with it then they still can stream but have to remove affiliate links for past and future streams. I think most streamers will stop streaming casino streams and move to other options as affiliate earnings were always an important part of their revenue.

The latest creator update from Twitch says, "To prevent harm and scams created by questionable gambling services that sponsor content on Twitch, we will prohibit sharing links and/or referral codes to sites that offer slots, roulette, or dice games,” Now streamers have time till 17th August to remove any such contents from their videos. News ref: https://dotesports.com/streaming/news/twitch-introduces-restrictions-on-gambling-related-linksDo you foresee any Impact on crypto gambling? Yes there will be a huge impact on affiliates that are using Twitch but not much in gambling in general, there's still a lot of venues where affiliates can promote their respective and favorite gambling sites, Youtube, Google ads, and blogging are still the most used tool by affiliates on the other hand affiliates will lessen or stop providing content that deals with gambling and just transfer to other similar sites like Twitch.

For everyone's good and safety, to avoid scam casino with fake promotions, I think it's still fine, the important thing is that the slots and gambling still exist in twitch category, maybe this is a loss for some content creators in the slot category because they have to delete the content and stop promoting their refferal code.

From what i've seen a lot of streamers were promoting crypto casinos so there's definitely an impact but I feel like this change doesn't have that much effect because they could still promote their links indirectly by using a different platform like discord for example. I guess it's a step in the right direction for twitch as a lot of viewers are against gambling streams but they need to put in more restrictions if they really want to stop scams for good.

I guess, twitch doesn't want to associate themselves for potentially scam platforms with high number of negative feedbacks. They are only protecting their image so to speak. Because these popular streamers can always find a way how to reach out their followers. Remember, in this digital age, there are countless social media platforms that they can promote if they want to.
