It has got to the point that the 26-year-old has admitted that he has a gambling addiction and considers himself ill. Among the variety of content xQc produces on Twitch, one part is the Gambling Simulator, an online casino where he puts money on the line in betting games, including slots. The Canadian had already spoken about his addiction to Gambling Simulator and betting last year, but this time, he went even further and acknowledge that he pursues gambling in every game he plays. \u201cEvery game I play all I do is gamble,\u201d xQc said earlier today. \u201cGTA, I gamble. Gambling Simulator, I do the whole game gambling. Everywhere I go, I just gamble. \"I have one of the biggest most insanely addictive personalities you\u2019ll ever find. I\u2019m addicted to everything I do.\" Even though xQc openly admitted that his gambling addiction should be taken seriously, it seems that he's not planning to stop gambling at the moment because he has enough money to afford it. \"I\u2019m just easily addicted so I just shouldn\u2019t gamble,\" xQc said. \"I still do it. Is that good? No, that\u2019s terrible. That\u2019s an illness, that\u2019s ill, I\u2019m ill. But you know what, I can afford to be ill. I\u2019m lucky.\" Although xQc sees himself in a privileged position, he knows gambling is an issue. The Canadian is aware that not everyone is as fortunate as him and that these people should not be gambling as he does.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/22001716\/streaming-is-real-job-says-xqc-theres-stigma-around-streaming-as-a-job-its-fucking-harder.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/580616"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1738"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=580616"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/580616\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":580640,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/580616\/revisions\/580640"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/539099"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=580616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=580616"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=580616"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=580616"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=580616"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=580616"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=580616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
