Felix “xQc” Lengyel is one of the most high-profile streamers to move over to Kick from Twitch following the latter’s decision to ban content from unregulated online casinos. The Canadian has taken plenty of criticism for the large sums that he gambles, most recently after he mentioned a $1.1m loss from gambling in Las Vegas in August.

Other notable streamers have gone public with their struggles to control their gambling. DNP3, for example, explained recently that he is now completely broke because of his addiction.
