The famous online streamer and social media personality, Felix “xQc,” announced during a recent stream that he was kicked out from a casino he visited in Canada. The star that streams online casino games on Twitch’s rival platform, Kick, said that after a birthday dinner, he visited a casino to celebrate and have fun with his family. xQc recalled playing with some CA$30,000 ($21,700) with his family members before going to a teller to withdraw more money.

At that point, the streamer claimed that the casino employee requested his information for another time. xQc said in his recent stream that he had already given his information twice and even submitted four tax forms with all of his details. Then, he said, the employee wanted to speak to their boss. While the whole encounter was taking way longer than xQc expected, at some point, three casino security guards came in front of him and told him that he was banned.

The streamer explained: “Three security guards come up and they are like: ‘Yo dude, you gotta go, you are banned.’ Like bad mood, rude a** m***********s, just say, you are banned!” He was then asked to leave the venue but before doing so, asked the security guards for more information on why he was banned. xQc also asked if he could tell his family at the gaming table that he would have to leave.

“Went to the Montréal casino after my birthday dinner to spend some time with my family. Split small amounts to each member so we could play table games and laugh. Security came and dragged me out in front of everyone because of a 2022 radio Canada clickbait article. Cringe,“

According to the streamer on Kick, going to the entrance of the casino, he met with seven security guards. xQc asked if he could talk to the casino’s “big boss.” Shortly after, the manager of the venue arrived and took him to a corridor that looked like an employee-only area. There, xQc once again questioned why he was banned, considering that he wanted to celebrate his holiday with his family and place some wagers.

Then, the “big boss” told the streamer that in 2022, an article emerged online that alleged he was addicted to gambling. “An employee of the casino or our online system banned you from playing online,” xQc claimed he was told by the casino’s manager.

The social media star went on to criticize the gambling regulations in Quebec. He explained the monopoly model of Lotto Quebec, saying that they run all gambling activities in the province.

Earlier this month, xQc revealed that his total wagers on Stake are getting close to $3 billion. Undoubtedly, the streamer walked a long way from his $40 bets per spin a few years ago to a staggering $50,000 wagers per spin only recently.

However, Asmongold has had no beef with the way Kick is supposedly “reserving” slots and promoting gambling streams. Kick was launched as an alternative by a number of companies and investors who were unhappy with Twitch’s overreaching policy on gambling streams that prohibited specific websites to be advertised while at the same time failing to define what operators were allowed.

Asmongold Remains Pragmatic in Kick Debate  

The streamer, known mostly by his monicker, has said that there was no issue with what a Reddit post he read was suggesting – namely that Kick may be booking slots for gambling streams. That tracked with the overall strategy of the company Asmongold suggested during a stream. His exact words were:

Kick’s recommended seems to reserve the third and fifth spots for gambling streams.’ There’s a chance that could be the case, I mean listen. Obviously, they’re going to make money off of gambling. This is probably smart to do.

Asmongold

Since Kick launched in March, the platform has already won many Twitch stars, demonstrating its ability to start building from the ground up. Amongst its streamers are famous personalities and established content creators such as xQc, Trainwreck, and Amouranth – all of which had a major presence in the Amazon-owned platform prior to heading out for Kick.

Drake, the famous rapper, is also streaming on Kick on occasion, and the platform already attracts a good amount of viewers. Not only that, but Kick has a far more generous revenue-sharing model, which sees the streamers get 95% of the proceeds against 5% of which go to the platform.

This is a clear act of defiance against other established platforms, including Twitch, that offer their streamers a fraction of the proceeds. Asmongold said that he would not be offering any criticism of the way Kick was doing business either.

Twitch Too Has Clear Gambling Affiliations and Ties

He said that the gambling tangent was not really worth bringing up for the simple reason that Amazon too had a partnership with DraftKings, one of the biggest gambling companies in the United States and North America.

Asmongold has even been considering making the move to Kick himself but has remained mostly neutral and has played no favours in the ongoing community debate that sees Twitch and Kick hotly disputed.

Kick has been already banned in Greece, however, precisely because it has too much gambling content. Weirdly enough, the ban does not cover Twitch, suggesting double standards to an extent.
