Twitch Gaming Ban

On September 20, 2022, Twitch ended months of speculation in the community by making an official announcement regarding restrictions on gambling content on their streams.

Commencing on October 18, 2022, Twitch will no longer permit streaming of gambling sites that include casino games such as slots, roulette, or dice games if those sites are not licensed in the U.S. or other jurisdictions that provide "sufficient consumer protection." Their announcement noted that they will continue to allow websites that focus on sports betting, fantasy sports, and poker. It is worth noting that as of the date of the announcement, Twitch's community guidelines already prohibited linking to sites that include slots, roulette, or dice games, or sharing affiliate links or referral codes to such sites.
