Popular streamer Felix “xQc” Longyel did not take kindly to a major downswing during a recent broadcast, reacting to a losing night with a rant where he accused Pragmatic Play of rigging their games.

xQC was streaming on the Kick platform, which is popular with gambling streamers since Twitch cracked down on betting channels. At the start of the broadcast, his account showed a balance of $1.52m, but after a brutal nine-hour run, the figure was reduced to just $123.10.

xQc turned off his camera and began an expletive-laden rant

As the stream was preparing to shut down, xQc turned off his camera and began an expletive-laden rant against Pragmatic Play, the developer of the casino games that had caused him to lose the $1.5m sum.

“Brother, brother, I’m not stupid. I’m not stupid. I called them out (Pragmatic Play) on their s**t, my account doesn’t hit anymore,” he said.

“I get it, I get it. You’re f***ing malding, because I called your games s**t and you’re butthurt about it and you turn my s**t off. You’re a f***ing loser. You’re a loser. Your games are s**t.”

The stream chat showed little sympathy for xQc, with most of the viewers finding the rant amusing or pitiful, either poking fun at his reaction or encouraging him to stop gambling.

Ignoring the chat, xQc concluded by stating that Pragmatic Play were losing their market share to other developers, saying: “Every games provider [is] coming out of nowhere… overtaking your customers because you’re s**t.”
