Sports, esports and licensed operators

Twitch

Since October 2022 the platform bans slot, roulette and dice streams from operators not licensed in the US and some other countries. What remains works: sports, poker, esports and licensed brands.

What buying here runs through

Twitch

The largest audience and hard limits on gambling. It works for sports betting and esports where allowed, and does not work for slots.

Moderation

What moderation cuts

Rejection 01

Unlicensed slots

Streaming slots from an operator without a US, Canadian or EU licence gets the channel banned, archive included; links to such domains are banned even in chat.

Rejection 02

Promo code in a chat bot without disclosure

A bot repeating the link every five minutes reads as spam and strips the streamer’s partner status.

Rejection 03

Betting ads to an underage audience

A channel without an age flag and with a gaming audience under 18 cannot advertise betting even with a licence.

Conditions

For which products and on what terms

iGaming

Sports, poker and esports are open under the country licence; casino and slots only for operators licensed in the US, Canada or the EU.

Crypto

Trading streams and exchange sponsorship of esports broadcasts; no token giveaways “for a follow” in chat.

Example

A placement that passes

A sponsor segment at the start of the stream with disclosure, a brand badge in the corner, licence and “18+” in the channel description; the link once in a pinned message, not looped by a bot.
