Casino Deal Sparks Moral Debate Between Twitch Millionaires – “Absolutely Disgusting Behavior”

Twitch streamer Felix “xQc” Lengyel got upset as fellow streamer Matthew “Mizkif” Rinaudo spoke about a €9.3 million casino deal. He said Mizkif’s behavior was “absolutely disgusting.”

This is the situation:

• Mizkif talked about receiving an offer from a casino site in a past stream. They offered him €9.3 million ($10 million) a year if he gambled 15 hours a month at the casino and broadcast it live on Twitch.
• However, he declined the offer, even though he was tempted to do it. The money could have completely changed his life, future generations and that of his family. He could have donated to a good cause, said Mizkif.
• The mainstream of Mizkif’s viewers encouraged him to take the deal and called him stupid for not taking it.
• xQc calls his behavior “absolutely disgusting” as, according to xQc, in the past Mizkif got on the high horse and threw everyone else in front of the bus when it came to casino streams.

Twitch streamer xQc criticizes Mizkif

What else does xQc say? He finds it unbelievable that Mizkif is now the first person to talk about casino streams again and to be so conflicted about it. In the past, Mizkif spoke quite negatively about such deals and casino streams:

It’s almost like this: the higher you go, the lower your moral values.

He was referring to the level of offers casino sites offer and how far streamers go to promote them and accept such offers.

xQc says that Mizkif first spoke down, was always against such casino streams and indirectly shot at him and his streamer colleague Trainwreck, who also accepted sponsored casino deals in the past.

You can hear xQc’s statement about Mizkif in this Twitch clip:

I’m pretty sure that at the end of the whole casino drama he threw everyone in front of the bus – really everyone – and took the safe route. It seemed like he was above everyone else and we were a bunch of jerks on the floor. He tried to point his finger at us and pull us down. Now he is the first to go back. Damn, this is absolutely disgusting.

xQc also criticizes the viewers: He doesn’t understand why most viewers are now on Mizkif’s side. The general public is in favor of the streamer accepting the deal, but the sponsored casino streams were frowned upon at xQc itself and at Trainwreck.

Even if the two don’t do sponsored casino streams these days and just gamble for fun, even issuing warnings, they get tons of criticism.

Some in the chat speculated if Mizkif was talking about the deal to prepare his community for future casino streams – xQc agreed with the chat on the speculation. According to him, there is no reason to broach this topic at all. He doesn’t understand why Mizkif was talking about the deal.

xQc believes that if you throw your streamer colleagues in front of the bus and don’t suddenly buckle, you should stay on your high horse, that’s just “absolutely disgusting behavior”.
