Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that xQc claims to he is quitting gambling after he won $5 million.

Gambling on stream has long been a hot-button topic within the streaming community, especially given how many big streamers have done it in the past and also been sponsored at the same time.

With Twitch increasingly clamping down on gambling content – including casino slots and CSGO skin betting – a few streamers have turned to Kick. The Stake-backed platform was built following Twitch’s first crackdown on gambling streams and allows streamers to broadcast pretty much anything. Despite this, Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel, who is one of the biggest streamers who has made the leap to Kick, has been criticized for his gambling streams. He’s also been open to his fans about his gambling habits, revealing he lost $1.1 million while gambling in Las Vegas in August.

However, this seems to have come to an end after xQc took to his Kick chat to reveal he’s quit his gambling habit.

xQc posted a screenshot to his chat of him seemingly winning $5,000,000 on an online gambling game. xQc claims to have quit gambling after winning $5 Million in an online gambling game having lost over $1 Million gambling in Vegas in August.

xQc has been one of the faces of gambling among the streaming community which has led to the formation of mixed opinions among his fans. His move to Kick was largely associated with his gambling roots and Twitch cutting down on it helped accelerate the talent drain. xQc lives on the border of a compulsive gambler and it has been a major part of his content in recent times.

Many have argued that his gaming habits have a negative impact on his audience who are getting negatively influenced but that seemed to have no effect on his own gambling habits as he continued to do so until now. Following his $5 Million win on some gambling website, he claims to have completely stopped gambling. “Nah I already withdrew my shit, I ain’t gambling no more.” read his Tweet.

Although he claims to have quit gambling altogether, we are yet to see how it fairs given he has an agreement with Kick who have a lot riding on their streamers gambling. Given xQc’s history, he might be back gambling in no time. As it stands, he lost a million but gained back five so unless it forces his hand to try to gain something further, he is good to go.
