Twitch’s rival streaming platform Kick keeps on stirring up controversy, and Pokimane shared her decisive stance on the streaming site on June 21. <\/p>
When her chat asked her if she would leave Twitch for the other platform for $10 million in a livestream<\/a>, she answered: “I would rather make zero dollars and keep my dignity.”<\/p>
Pokimane previously criticized close links between Kick and crypto gambling website Stake, whose owner has been pointed out as a significant investor<\/a>, although Stake’s supposed “ownership” of Kick has been denied by the streaming platform. “Why would I compromise my morals and ethics for more money when I have money?” she explained to the chat.<\/p>

Pokimane has been vocal on Kick’s links with online gambling since she commented on xQc’s $100M-deal<\/a> with the platform that was announced on June 17. Valkyrae also claimed Pokima<\/a>n<\/a>e reached out to her<\/a> and questioned her for supporting Kick’s deal with xQc. <\/p>

“You don’t understand that Kick makes Twitch money. [It’s] using Twitch’s services and if Twitch wanted, they could just stop giving it to Kick,” she said on the<\/a> livestream<\/a>. “But right now, they’re just sitting back like: thanks, I guess.”<\/p>
xQc is part of the ever-growing list of streamers who’re leaving Twitch for Kick<\/a> after signing juicy deals, such as Amouranth, Trainwreck, and Adin Ross. <\/p>
While Kick allows all kinds of gambling livestreams, Twitch enforced a ban<\/a> on unregulated websites and restricted promotion of other gambling services in October 2022. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
