EP 56 Twitch BANS Gambling Sites & Are We Headed Into A Recession? Follow DIVIJ: https://instagram.com/divijvaswani Follow Christian: https://www.instagram.com/christianyi_/ Email/Business: Divij@DivisionMedia.Co The #1 Podcast In The World, And It's A Fact. Vlogging personality who is widely known for his SnewJ YouTube channel. He has gained popularity there for his fitness, motor, and lifestyle vlog entries. Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva is an upcoming professional boxing contest between Jake Paul and Anderson Silva. In a recent policy update, Twitch expanded upon its gambling ban by adding an addendum that websites with supposed consumer protections—such as waiting periods, age verification systems, and free social versions—will also be banned if they host gambling content and are unlicensed in the U.S. or other regions. On Sept. 20, Twitch addressed the issue of gambling on the livestreaming website after months of heated discourse among viewers and streamers alike. The platform stated its intention to prohibit some forms of gambling, including slots, roulette, and dice games, though notably retaining sports betting as an accepted form of gambling. Now officially taking effect as of Oct. 18, Twitch clarified today that this ban extends to all websites regardless of supposed consumer protections. We are tightening our rules to also prohibit any streaming of listed sites that contain slots, roulette, and dice games and are unlicensed in the U.S. or other jurisdictions that offer consumer protections, like deposit limits, waiting periods, age verification systems,” Twitch said. The streaming platform reiterated that referral codes to such websites will remain prohibited and link sharing to specific gambling websites barred from streaming will also not be allowed in chat. The website emphasized that its sweeping ban of specific gambling forms will include “free social versions” of gambling websites that allow users to gamble without actual money. Though Twitch has named several specific websites that have aggressively partnered with some of the platform’s top creators, it will likely add more to the growing list as the websites become known. Effective today, Twitch will give offending streamers a grace period by issuing initial warnings before applying suspensions to violating content creators. While there’s certainly no shortage of ARPGs available on digital platforms, LINE Games’ recently released UNDECEMBER offers something unique to the genre: complete class freedom. While other titles will task you with picking either a starting class or sticking with a very specific path of progression, UNDECEMBER eschews that by allowing players to determine their own destiny in its dark fantasy world. Right from the starting moments, you’ll be given a variety of different weapon types with no prerequisites to wield them. While many may opt for the melee-based sword to get to grips with UNDECEMBER’s flow and combat, you’re not locked to that decision at any point. If you feel like switching to a bow or magic staff, you can do it at your leisure. In other games, specific skill points will dictate which playstyle you’ll stick with, but UNDECEMBER is different. Your intelligence stat still garners your overall mana, but leveling up strength will increase the potency of your magic spells. Not content to let intelligence be only magic-related, putting levels into that stat increases your overall ability to dodge incoming attacks. There’s a nice balance between specificity and general usefulness that encourages players to top up all of their stats instead of focusing solely on one.
