Adin Ross and Sliker Dive into the Controversy: Twitch’s New Gambling Restrictions Unpacked!

Controversial streamer Adin Ross recently engaged in a conversation with ItsSliker, another streamer whose gambling issues are believed to have influenced Twitch’s decision to impose restrictions on gambling-related content. Ross took the opportunity to mock Sliker for his role in the unfolding drama and its significant impact on the gambling community at large.

Sliker’s Role in Gambling Controversy

To provide some background, Sliker is a former member of Team Liquid who faced allegations of misappropriating funds from both fans and fellow streamers. Under the guise of needing financial assistance, he solicited various amounts from his audience and streaming peers, only to use that money for online gambling.

Sliker later revealed that his addiction originated from CS:GO skins. In previous streams, he expressed that his experiences should serve as a cautionary tale about the perils associated with gambling.

The controversy surrounding ItsSliker sparked widespread backlash against gambling content on Twitch, which ultimately led to stricter regulations being implemented by the platform—resulting in operators like Stake being banned.

During their recent interview, Ross encouraged Sliker to turn on his camera and began playfully criticizing him for instigating these changes at Twitch.

You’re responsible for Twitch’s ban; you’re why casinos got kicked off! You didn’t even lose it at Stake; it was sports betting that did you in!

The playful exchange continued as Ross suggested that Sliker’s actions reflected poorly on the Jewish community.

Sliker acknowledged how addictive gambling had been for him, sharing that some of his most enjoyable moments involved watching bets unfold while engaging in other activities simultaneously.

Sliker’s Criticism of Twitch as a “Terrible Platform”

The discussion shifted towards Twitch’s new restrictions, which ultimately resulted in both streamers facing bans from the platform. Sliker criticized Amazon’s service as a “terrible platform,” questioning whether Ross would ever consider returning there again.

Ross expressed appreciation for Kick’s freedom, allowing him more leeway with what he could say. However, he admitted missing collaborations with friends—a sentiment met with skepticism by Sliker who remarked they “aren’t your friends anymore.”

If they truly were your friends, they wouldn’t be concerned about cancel culture.

Adin Ross has been actively pursuing efforts to reverse his ban from Twitch. While CEO Dan Clancy has shown willingness to discuss matters with him, many users and creators within the Twitch community continue advocating for maintaining Ross’s ban status.
