There was a ban on streamers sharing promo codes or links to promote the likes of dice games, roulette, and slots since August 2021. Twitch has seen that some people circumvent these rules and expose their community to potential harm.
Twitch will ban all streams related to unregulated online casinos. The ban will take effect on October 18th. Twitch is planning to provide more details about the new policy in the near future.

Stake, Roobet, Duelbits and Rollbit are the four platforms that will be affected by the changing policy. Drake lost over $17m in ten minutes playing roulette on Stakes in July.
