New Twitch gambling policy update coming in October

Via social media, the popular live streaming service announced today a new Twitch gambling policy update is coming next month.

“We’ll be making a policy update on October 18th to prohibit streaming of gambling sites that include slots, roulette, or dice games that aren’t licensed either in the U.S. or other jurisdictions that provide sufficient consumer protection,” says the tweet. “These sites will include Stake.com, Rollbit.com, Duelbits.com, and Roobet.com. However, we may identify others as we move forward.”

This update by Twitch comes 13 months after it banned illegal gambling links and referral codes related to slots, roulette, and dice games. However, that decision wasn’t enough to solve the gambling issue.

Accounts related to sports betting, fantasy sports, and poker will continue to be allowed on Twitch.
