Twitch has been cracking down on what it allows to be streamed on its platform in recent months as it faces competition from sites like Kick. Following previous news that the Amazon-owned site would be banning gambling on the platform, Twitch has now announced further steps that will ban “skins gambling” promotions, a big threat to the current CS:GO sponsorships.

This will affect multiple games, but the most infamous will be the CS:GO skin gambling sites that allow players to pay to roll for the chance to win skins worth a lot of money. However, it is gambling, so players will need to spend real money with no guarantee that they will see a return on their investment.

Twitch has made it clear in the past that it doesn’t want impressionable viewers steered toward gambling, so this action follows the previous notice. Players who still have promotions or banners on their stream may be subject to punishment like suspension or even bans if Twitch views it as severe enough. This will likely force CS:GO streamers to look for different sponsorships or find a new platform to stream on.

There has been no response from any of the major skin gambling sites as the news is fairly recent, but it’s likely these owners will try to move their sponsorships onto platforms that are friendlier towards gambling. Twitch is only likely to continue to crack on down on content it finds unacceptable to allow on stream.
