Trainwrecks Speaks Out About His Twitch Gambling Sponsor

One of the most popular slots streamers on the platform, Tyler Niknam aka Trainwrecks has recently spoken about his concerns towards his own gambling sponsorships.

Gambling on the platform has still remained a controversial topic within the community. Some popular streamers who partake into gambling streams including Felix Lengyel aka xQc has already decided to move away from those streams, while others have continued to create content based around online casinos, and this includes Twitch streamer Trainwrecks.

Trainwrecks was one of the streamers to have ties with gambling companies, particularly Stake.com, which has come under a lot of scrutiny. Although he urged people not to gamble, he asked them to watch him do it instead and has defended his gambling streams multiple times. He clapped back at those who criticized him numerous times and even claimed his gambling streams are the “most transparent” ones on the platform.

However, it now seems like his participation in the gambling meta could be coming to a close, as he recently voiced out his concerns over the details surrounding his own gambling sponsors and shared that he no longer feels comfortable with the arrangements currently in place.

Here’s what he said during his stream; “I’ve always been on the crossroads of this gambling stuff, but now, I’m at a point where it’s no longer at a crossroads. I’m worried. I’m trying to keep it as clean as possible, and take just as much risk as the regular user would, but I’m worried about attaching my name to anything.”

It’s unclear if Niknam does intend to fully drop the gambling content from his channel, or if he will continue to stream in the Slots category. Regardless, he once again asked fans not to gamble as the discussion over the hotly debated topic came to a close.
