Twitch started banning gambling-related links and referral codes on August 17th. National Council on Problem Gambling is satisfied with this first step but wants more to be done.
The National Council on Problem Gambling welcomes Twitch's ban on gambling links, but warns more must be done. The council is concerned about Twitch’s use of live streaming gambling games that can lead to under-age gambling and addiction. Twitch should restrict gambling content to adult viewers and establish stringent mechanisms to verify their age. The debate on whether the platform should allow gambling is an ongoing one. Some streamers are in favor of it and others against it. It is possible that Twitch could be banned altogether. iReport.com: iReporter.
