Twitch said it is planning to ban the streaming of certain crypto gambling websites in an effort to protect users from potential harm. The ban will prohibit streaming of sites including slots, roulette and dice websites that aren't licensed in the U.S. or "other jurisdictions that provide sufficient consumer protection". The policy change comes after some of the platform's top streamers threatened to stop using the platform if Twitch didn't change its policy on gambling streams. Twitch said the ban applies to sites including Stake.com, Rollbit.com and Duelbits.com and that it "may identify others as we move forward." Twitch's current community guidelines already prohibit streamers from referring viewers to sites that include slots, roulette or dice games or sharing affiliate links or referral codes to such sites.
