Trainwreck Plans for New Platform as Twitch Bans Casinos
Tyler Niknam, better known as Trainwreck, is upset with Twitch's ban on streams featuring unregulated casinos. Train wreck wants to either start his own platform or team up with one.
Trainwreck proposed the ban on Twitter Wednesday night. The ban has also seen other popular streamers such as Roshtein and Xposed end their gambling output. Niknam is the most popular of these gambling-focused creators with around 2.1 million followers. His last gambling stream has racked up more than 2 million views.
Trainwreck plans to launch a new platform to compete with Twitch. Kristian Sturt, head of influencer marketing and talent management at Colossal Influence, urged Trainwreck to get in touch.
Trainwreck has a large following on social media. He has been outspoken about issues related to gambling. Twitch banned gambling earlier this month. Trainwreck shared a video of the Dark Knight's final scene on Twitter. He is planning to launch a new platform. The ban came into place on Wednesday. It is not clear if Train wreck will be able to continue streaming.
