Twitch petition to remove sponsored gambling content
A new petition on Twitch aims to solve the issue of gambling ads once and for all. At the moment, many broadcasts continue to show gambling content, which causes disputes between many users. The created online petition is necessary to reduce and ultimately stop the practice of users on Twitch advertising gambling. This is especially true for vulnerable groups of viewers, including children, students, the poor, and racial minorities.
New Twitch petition aims to stop gambling
Twitch does not have any features that allow you to block access to certain content. For example, you can watch a regular video, but you will find an ad for an online casino or slot machine. Twitch developers have officially confirmed that they received more than $119 million for online casino advertising and promo codes. And that’s just from one channel. Many other popular streamers make money from advertising gambling.
The petition is a direct response to those streamers who actively use the advertising opportunities of online casinos. This is necessary to protect subscribers and their money.
Erin Jordan signed the petition. With its help, it will be possible to reduce the negative impact on the minds of unprotected viewers. Others share this point of view. The petition was also signed by other major companies, including Pepsi, McDonald’s, Uber, and many others. They believe that limiting young people’s access to gambling resources is essential. According to them, gambling ads on Twitch have a terrible effect on young people and those who belong to racial minorities.
Unregulated online casinos and the link to the Twitch petition
Some online casinos are opposing the petition to ban gambling ads on Twitch. They argue that such advertising is necessary to attract more active users. The petition authors themselves consider such actions disastrous – they can bring many unpleasant consequences to the players.
The petition text states that more than 6% of young people actively fight gambling addiction. Some of them even try to commit suicide. At the moment, just over 500 signatures have been collected. Still, their number is constantly increasing and being strengthened by reputable companies, including Adobe Inc., Logitech International, Advanced Micro Devices, and many others. They are actively working to ensure that gambling is no longer advertised on Twitch. Soon, the petition will be considered at a higher level.
