While everything looks good for Kick overall, stories about Kick promoting gambling are on the rise. One such allegation was seen during Asmongold’s stream recently, where he got one of such conspiracy story on his subreddit. One of Asmon’s viewers collected pieces of evidence from Kick and put it together to post on his subreddit.
According to the author of the post, Kick is allegedly reserving the third and fifth spots in the recommended section for stake streamers. He also accused the website is hardcoded to keep such streams on those slots. However, no technical evidence has been provided to prove this statement. Thus, the topic of such allegations is treated as only conspiracy at the moment.
