Gambling is a growing category on Twitch and some of the platform's most popular streamers dedicate entire live broadcasts to betting. The community is concerned about the influence of gambling on their young audience.
Gambling is the seventh most watched category on Twitch. Twitch is studying gambling behaviors on the platform and considering taking action. Gambling was mostly discussed within the streaming community until recently. Now it's a more heavily discussed topic. Some in the community wonder if bad press will convince Twitch to do something about it. So far, direct links to gambling sites are not allowed to be promoted through Twitch streams on this platform. However, Twitch may be looking to control the gambling category more strictly in future.
