Mike Tyson, one of the greatest boxers of all time, is taking on influencer Jake Paul in a bout Friday night, broadcast live on Netflix. And just in time for the highly anticipated fight, Jogo Global has released an online casino game featuring Tyson’s name and likeness called “Mike Tyson Crash.”

Developed in collaboration with Radar Zero and released on the Swish Games brand, “Mike Tyson Crash” is another entry in the growing “crash” game category of online casino offerings.

it’s an experience that brings players closer to the thrill of the ring”

Radar Zero’s Mark Klein said of the game: “Partnering with Jogo Global and Mike Tyson to create this game has been an incredible journey. Mike Tyson’s Crash is not just a game; it’s an experience that brings players closer to the thrill of the ring.”

The game features a cartoon version of Mike Tyson in a boxing ring playing a “test your strength” boxing arcade game. When the game begins, he punches the bag, and a multiplier counter starts increasing. At any point, those who have placed bets can cash out and win the amount of their wager times the multiplier. The maximum multiplier is 5,000x.

Eventually, and it could be immediately, the counter “crashes,” and anyone who has not cashed out loses their bet. It is a game of chance like any other casino game, but the player does have control over how long they want to wait before cashing out, risking their money with every fraction of a second that passes.

More than one player can participate in the same round, and players can see when others cash out. One player’s cash out does not affect anyone else’s.

Turkish Police Arrest 17 Celebrities for Promoting Illegal Gambling https://www.mls-niagarafalls.com/news/2024/11/13/turkish-police-arrest-17-celebrities-for-promoting-illegal-gambling/ https://www.mls-niagarafalls.com/news/2024/11/13/turkish-police-arrest-17-celebrities-for-promoting-illegal-gambling/#respond Wed, 13 Nov 2024 18:08:51 +0000 https://www.mls-niagarafalls.com/news/?p=205638 Turkish authorities have arrested 17 celebrities and issued warrants for four more on charges of promoting illegal gambling.

Celebrities arrested

Turkish police have detained 17 individuals and issued warrants for four more on suspicion of promoting illegal gambling.

those mentioned include social media influencers, actors, soccer players, and other noted celebrities

The ?stanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office issued detention orders for all of the individuals named. Those mentioned include social media influencers, actors, soccer players, and other noted celebrities who have been accused of using social media to advertising gambling platforms which are illegal in Turkey.

Police are continuing with efforts to detain the remaining four suspects, although the issue is likely to be complicated by the fact that some of them are abroad.

Among the names detained were singer Serdar Orta?, television host and actor Mehmet Ali Erbil, former footballer Batuhan Karadeniz, and social media influencers Muzaffer Zorbey Erko?lar, Sefa Caner Sar??am and ?brahim Y?lmaz.?

Suspects deny responsibility

The individuals have been released on house arrest, with several releasing statements denying their culpability. Speaking to reporters outside court, Orta? stated that he was unaware that an invitation to Malta was linked to illegal gambling.

“They invited me for a restaurant opening. They set me up and recorded the video on a cell phone. They even asked me for a score prediction, but I don’t even follow sports that way. I am deeply sorry and regretful.”

I have no financial or moral need for such activities.”

Erbil, who also attended the event in Malta, also denied any responsibility, saying: “If I were involved in promotion, I could have named the companies openly. I have no financial or moral need for such activities.”

Turkish crackdown

Turkey has notoriously strict gambling laws. Most forms of gambling are illegal, with casinos having been outlawed and betting restricted to a few outlets such as lotteries. All online gambling is prohibited, with the exception of the state-owned IDDAA, which operates a monopoly in the country.

Unlike most other countries, Turkish authorities also prosecute individual gamblers on illegal betting sites, in addition to the operators themselves. This spate of arrests is one of the largest in targeting individuals solely for promoting gambling.

teams found to be in breach of the advertising laws will not only face fines, but even points deductions

Elsewhere, Turkish soccer clubs have also faced the prospect of severe punishment for breaching the country’s gambling laws. Teams found to be in breach of the advertising laws will not only face fines, but even points deductions for repeat offenders.

Earlier this year, the issue came to a head when giant Galatasaray was forced to suspend a $14m shirt sponsorship after its fierce rival Fenerbah?e filed complaints against it ahead of a derby match.

Despite the recent crackdown, however, illegal gambling continues to flourish in Turkey. The unregulated betting market in the country is estimated to be worth a staggering 100 billion lira ($2.9bn).

Macau surpassed Las Vegas as the world’s biggest gambling hub in 2006 and hasn’t looked back since. A key driver in this success was Lui Che Woo, a prominent real estate and casino mogul who chaired Galaxy Entertainment, one of six Macau gambling license holders. The casino company owns more real estate on the Cotai Strip than any other concessionaire.

Galaxy will appoint a new chairman in due course

Lui passed away on November 7 at the age of 95, his company revealed on Monday. It remarked that his “vision, tremendous leadership and guidance” were imperative for its success. Galaxy will appoint a new chairman in due course and emphasized that Lui’s passing won’t affect operations.

The Guangdong native initially made his fortune in quarry mining and construction through the Hong Kong-listed K. Wah Group. Despite being one of the wealthiest men in Hong Kong, Lui remained understated, wearing a flat cap as he went about his business.

His son Francis is the deputy chairman of Galaxy Entertainment and leads many projects within the company. Other children work globally in other aspects of the family’s business interests.

Since Donald Trump secured victory in the 2024 US Presidential election last week, many crypto investors have been celebrating the spike in Bitcoin price, fueled by Trump’s pro-crypto stance. However, it isn’t just the crypto sector that has seen a benefit from confirmation of Trump’s incoming second term.

Share prices of gaming companies also rose in the immediate aftermath of Trump’s win, in which he beat Kamala Harris with 312 electoral votes to her 226. In the two days following the election voting, MGM Resorts International’s share price grew 4% to $37.69. It was a similar story for Caesars Entertainment, which saw a rise of 6% to $41.76.

Red Rock Resorts secured the most staggering growth at 12%

Other casino companies showed the same story. Bally’s Corporation, which runs 15 casinos across ten states, saw its stock rise a single percentage point, while Red Rock Resorts secured the most staggering growth at 12%, up from $50.92 to $56.85. The latter runs the Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa in Las Vegas, among other properties.

Sportsbooks also weren’t immune to Trump’s impact. DraftKings, which surpassed FanDuel as the US online gambling operator with the most market share in 2023, saw a share price rise of 7% from November 5 to November 7. Shares of BetRivers owner Rush Street Interactive also grew from $10.18 to $10.81, up 6%.

It seems many investors may believe Trump’s Presidency could pose good news for the US gaming industry. Notably, he won the key battleground state of Nevada, including several others. Earlier this week, VegasSlotsOnline News took a detailed look at his policies to determine if the faith of Nevada’s casino-loving residents is justified.

Ready to rumble

After enduring ridicule and delay, the $100m boxing match between “Iron” Mike Tyson and “Problem Child” Jake Paul is all set for November 15.  

But not without causing the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGA) a conundrum.??

MGA seeking advice from other state regulators

The first boxing event ever streamed by Netflix had the MGA seeking advice from other state regulators on allowing bets on the exhibition match between Tyson and Paul at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

According to Covers on Thursday, the MGA stated that following “extensive research and connecting with other jurisdictions” the regulator’s recommendation was “to let this event stand as approved for wagering.”

MGA questions legalities

The trailblazing Netflix fight is sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, an Association of Boxing Commissions member. According to media reports, under Massachusetts gaming law, betting on “ABC matches, including amateur bouts”, is allowed.?

The MGA’s Sports Betting Compliance and Operations Manager Andrew Steffen on Thursday, however, revealed his organization sought advice from other states.?

Steffen said Colorado had specific rules not allowing betting markets on Tyson-Paul, while “Nebraska regulators decided to amend their sports wagering rules” to allow sportsbooks to offer markets. 

The MGA exec also added that, despite rules allowing ABC bouts, Pennsylvania and Vermont chose to nix the Tyson/Paul market because of the 31-year age gap between the fighters.

The MGA eventually sanctioned betting on the fight but not after voicing concerns about black market activity and “betting-related corruption.”

Commission Chair Jordan Maynard explained that his body came to the conclusion that if it banned betting on the fight, “we would only be potentially moving people in Massachusetts to the illegal market.”

any chance of betting-linked corruption was unlikely

The MGC also questioned integrity monitoring agencies about the risks of the fight. Maynard said the agencies response was that “due to the significant public popularity, fight purses, and the multiple millions for both fighters,” any chance of betting-linked corruption was unlikely. 

Safety appeal

According to reports, three of the five MGC commissioners didn’t contest the wagering status of the Tyson/Paul event because of rule changes to make the bout safer.?

These include Tyson, 58, and Paul, 27, agreeing to wear 14-ounce gloves instead of the 10-ounce gloves used in professional fights. The scheduled eight rounds will also be two instead of three minutes long. 

Betr co-founder Paul is a -250 favorite at BetMGM to beat the retired former heavyweight champion. Tyson’s health issues postponed the event described as the “$100m fight nobody wants” from taking place in July as originally planned.

Kick streamer Adin Ross backed the winning candidate for the 47th presidency of the US and earned himself a tidy $600,000 profit.

On Monday, Ross revealed that he placed a $1m wager on former US President Donald Trump returning to power. Via X, Ross shared his bet stating he “knew” the candidate standing against Kamala Harris was “gonna secure it for America”:

As the champagne was uncorked in the Trump camp following his victory, Ross also took to X with a clip of UFC President Dana White alongside the new president giving the Kick influencer a shout out for his contribution to returning the Republican to presidency.?In response to White’s acknowledgement, Ross stated: “Appreciate the love brother.”

In June, White appeared on the “Flagrant” podcast with comedian Andrew Schulz in which the UFC CEO described Ross as a “hardcore” gambler.

White referenced a Las Vegas Power Slap event in which Ross was down $750,000 but ended up winning $1.5m, stating the streamer “put huge money on the casino table for such a young kid.”

penchant for a big bet fueled by the confidence of youth shows no signs of dimming

While Ross is now 24, it seems his penchant for a big bet fueled by the confidence of youth shows no signs of dimming. His $600,000 profit on Stake backing the winning US president came from a $1m wager Ross made in October when the odds of Trump winning were 4/6.?

After making his $1m bet, Ross also promised he will give ten people who liked his “gonna secure it for America” post on X $1,000 each from his profits, to celebrate Trump’s win.

In the final weeks of the US elections, online election markets gained prominence as bettors wagered billions on the presumed winners. On November 5, 2024, Donald Trump completed a major comeback from his double-impeached first term four years ago to become the 47th President of the United States. While his victory came as a surprise for many, prediction markets had asserted for some time that this would be the case.

Prediction markets will present a potential payout of about $450m to those who bet on Trump. The markets sharply diverged from opinion polls that presented a slight edge for Harris. In this manner, prediction markets can “measure crowd wisdom where no hard data is available,” said Samuel S.-H. Wang, a Princeton University neuroscience professor who is also the director of the Electoral Innovation Lab, which studies elections and electoral reform.

Kalshi alone saw 28,000 people bet on Harris and 40,000 on Trump.

Between offshore Polymarket, which deals in cryptocurrency, and U.S.-based Kalshi, these two exchanges estimate total payouts of about $450m just for Trump bettors. A third site, an academic research group called PredictIt, did not disclose its payouts, but the numbers could easily reach similar heights. Kalshi alone saw 28,000 people bet on Harris and 40,000 on Trump. Polymarket did not disclose how many people bet on which candidate, but the site has an estimated payout purse of $287m. At the same time, Kalshi’s payout stands at $159m.

A French investor called the “Polymarket whale” will end up the biggest beneficiary of the election markets after making an estimated $40m worth of Trump-based bets. Should Trump win the popular vote, which he very well may do, the whale will win approximately $80m.

Ten Hag out, Amorim in … in just five days

It didn’t take Manchester United’s board and owners long to find a replacement for Erik ten Hag. While lots of names entered the frame, one name soon emerged as the overwhelming favorite.

beginning of the Ruben Amorim era

In the end, there were just five days between United’s official website announcing the end of ten Hag’s reign and the beginning of the Ruben Amorim era. The current coach of Sporting Lisbon formally takes up his Old Trafford post next Monday, November 11.

United’s odd of lifting a trophy drop!

His appointment immediately saw United’s odds of winning the two English domestic trophies drop. From +1600 to win the FA Cup, they are now +1400, and to win the Carabao (League) Cup their odds dropped to +600 from +800.

But who is Ruben Amorim, and what qualifies him to take on one of the most difficult coaching roles on the planet?

Well, to begin with, it’s important to note that while the 39-year-old isn’t currently regarded as a “big” name, he has, over the last year-and-a-half, become one of the most sought-after coaches in Europe.

In that period, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Barcelona, and Juventus have all been manager-less and were all heavily linked with Amorim. He was even talked about as the possible successor to Pep Guardiola when he eventually decides to call time on his tenure at Manchester City – a move that now looks extremely unlikely.

His stock is now so high because of a hugely successful four-year spell at Sporting, where he managed to break the dominance of the country’s big two – Benfica and Porto. In doing so, he ended Sporting’s run of 19 trophy-less seasons with a thrilling Portuguese Primeira Liga and League Cup double in 2020-21.

A cultured midfielder by trade

But, before Amorim scaled those heady heights and earned himself a shot at being the manager of one of the world’s biggest clubs, he had already enjoyed a successful 14-year career as a player, during which he won 14 international caps.

Amorim, born in Lisbon, made his first-team playing debut in 2003 for Belenenses, one of Lisbon’s smaller clubs. A midfielder by trade, Amorim made a name for himself with his quality passing and silky movement, and in the summer of 2008, he earned himself a big move – to Portuguese giants Benfica.

fractious relationship with Benfica’s long-term coach Jorge Jesus

It was at the Estadio da Luz where he spent the prime years of his playing career and made 154 appearances over six seasons. During that time, he endured a fractious relationship with Benfica’s long-term coach Jorge Jesus, who occasionally used Amorim as an emergency right-back – one of many things that the pair clashed over.

During the early part of the 2012-13 season, Amorim openly criticized Jesus’ team selection and, on one occasion, ended up refusing to train with the reserves. As a result, he was sent out on loan to Benfica’s big rivals, Braga. He ended up spending 18 months there – from January 2012 through to the end of the 2012-13 season. While at Braga he scored five goals and played 46 games.

Successful return to Benfica

His surprise return to Benfica for the 2013-14 season ended up being his most successful as a player, winning the Portuguese domestic treble: the Primeira Liga, the Ta?a de Portugal, and the Ta?a da Liga (League Cup).

Unfortunately, at the start of the next season, while playing for Benfica at Boavista, he suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament, an injury that was effectively career-ending.

Although he attempted to resurrect his career by moving on loan to Al-Wakrah in Qatar, he never fully recovered from the injury and was forced to retire prematurely in 2017 at the age of 32.

During his playing days, he made his international debut at the 2010 World Cup and also appeared at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, but didn’t register a goal in those 14 appearances.

Once his playing career was over, he immediately focused his attention on?completing his full coaching qualifications. However, before they were complete, he landed his first managerial post with third division Casa Pia.

Early coaching controversy

This caused some controversy at the time as it was a requirement in Portuguese soccer to have completed all the badges before delivering instructions during a game. As a result, he was given a one-year suspended ban.

But, with no further indiscretions, he was able to complete all of his coaching badges and in September 2019, he returned to Braga in the role of reserve team manager. He was successful from the word go and in the December of that same year was promoted to the role of first-team coach.

By then Amorim was a coach in a hurry.

In his first few months as head coach, he steered the team to success in the Tace da Liga (the Portuguese League Cup) and, even before the end of that season, he was approached by Sporting Lisbon to become their new head coach.

Too good to refuse

It was an offer that was too good to turn down and just 72 days after being appointed as Braga’s head coach, Amorim was heading to Sporting Lisbon.

It cost the Lisbon club almost $11 million to release him from his Braga contract, but it was a calculated gamble that paid off enormously.

won an astonishing 29 games out of 34

In his four-and-a-half seasons at Sporting, Amorim has won the Primeira Liga twice and the Taca da Liga twice. Last season, on their way to winning his second league title, his team won an astonishing 29 games out of 34 and finished a comfortable 10 points ahead of second-place Benfica.

It was a record that was achieved in some style and is why he hit the radar of all the big soccer clubs in Europe.

Another quality that the decision-makers at Manchester United saw in Amorim is that he is a fluent English speaker, having completed a chunk of his UEFA coaching badges while studying in Belfast.

While he is known for his no-nonsense demeanor and strong personality, he is also considered by those who know him to be a laid-back and warm individual.

United heading for a 3-4-3?

Amorim’s tactical soccer knowledge is regarded as up there with the best on the continent, where he usually sets his teams up in a 3-4-3 high-intensity formation – a significant change for United who, for many years, has operated with a flat back-four. ??

But, arguably, what sets him apart from all the other highly-rated coaches in Europe is his ability to get the very best out of players; turning average players into good players, and good players into great players.

A perfect example of this is Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres, who he signed for Sporting from Coventry City of the English Championship for a relatively modest $22m. In Lisbon, the Swede has scored almost a goal per game and is now being tipped for a move to one of the continent’s biggest clubs for well over $100m either in January or next summer.

And there are plenty of other examples of players who have flourished under Amorim’s tutelage and have gone on to early big-money moves – among them Fulham midfielder, Joao Palhinha, Manchester City’s Matheus Nunes, and Tottenham’s Pedro Porro.

Re-united with Ugarte

Interestingly, another to add to that list is Uruguayan international defender Manuel Ugarte, who Amorim had at Sporting before selling him to PSG for $78 million. Well, this summer Manchester United signed the player who will now be reunited with the manager under whom he made his name.

The biggest surprise, perhaps, is how Sporting had been able to hold onto Amorim for so long given his ever-expanding list of trophies. As mentioned at the start of this piece, there were several top jobs vacant at the end of last season, so why did none of those teams take a punt on Amorim?

With Jurgen Klopp opting to leave Liverpool, Xavi’s decision to quit Barcelona, Thomas Tuchel and Bayern Munich opting to go their separate ways, and Juventus sacking Max Allegri, it felt inevitable he would choose one of those as the next stop on his managerial career.

Amorim once rumored to be City target

As it transpired, Liverpool opted to go Dutch with Arne Slot while Barcelona chose the more experienced Hansi Flick to be their head coach. Bayern Munich, out of the blue, opted for Vincent Kompany ahead of Amorim, and Juventus went with their former defender, Thiago Motta.

Ultimately, it felt that none of those clubs were prepared to gamble on someone who had only coached in his native Portugal and had no experience in other European leagues. It may be a view they live to regret.

It also was reported that Amorim flew to London to have talks with West Ham, something he apologized to Sporting fans for, saying that he had made a “mistake.” In the end, the Hammer appointed Julen Lopetegui to replace David Moyes.

Hugo Viana, will be replacing City’s current sporting director, Txiki Begiristain

But the strongest link, also as mentioned at the start of the piece, came from the blue half of Manchester. It has already been announced that at the end of this season, Sporting Lisbon’s current director of football, Hugo Viana, will be replacing City’s current sporting director, Txiki Begiristain.

Many had already started to put two and two together, especially when it was rumored Guardiola may decide to call it a day at the Etihad at the end of this season. There is now, however, a growing belief among Man City decisionmakers that Guardiola is looking to extend his stay there by at least another season.

Ashworth and Berrada get their man

That may well have fed into Amorim’s thinking when he finally said yes to United. In the end, the Red Devils, led by sporting director Dan Ashworth and chief executive Omar Berrada, got their man.

They now have to do all they can to back him. For a club as massive as United, the only measure of success is trophies and, in truth, there are only two trophies that count to them: the English Premier League (EPL) trophy and the UEFA Champions League trophy.

As things stand, this current United squad is a million miles away from being good enough to compete for either. It’s been 11 years since their last EPL title, which came under the management of Sir Alex Ferguson, and Amorim, Ashworth, and Berrada have much work to do before they can again be considered realistic contenders.

Problems aplenty at United

The problems at United don’t begin and end with the playing squad and, as acknowledged by Ashworth and Berrada, several infrastructural and cultural issues have to be addressed before a sustained EPL title bid can even be considered.

Years of underinvestment in the club’s bricks and mortar also needs rectifying – Old Trafford infamously has a leaking roof when it rains – and work is still ongoing at Carrington, United’s training ground, to bring it in line with the elite facilities of their rivals. ??

So, the task awaiting Amorim is not to be underestimated and it is worth noting he is the sixth head coach to try his luck at United since the departure of Ferguson. None of the other five have been regarded as a success.

A sleeping giant United may be, and some argue it’s the biggest soccer club in the world, but to return it to its former glory is going to take something special.

Good luck Senhor Amorim. You may need it.

Trainwreck Claims Nolimit City Leaderboard Reveals Roshtein Lies https://www.mls-niagarafalls.com/news/2024/10/29/trainwreck-claims-nolimit-city-leaderboard-reveals-roshtein-lies/ https://www.mls-niagarafalls.com/news/2024/10/29/trainwreck-claims-nolimit-city-leaderboard-reveals-roshtein-lies/#respond Tue, 29 Oct 2024 13:52:38 +0000 https://www.mls-niagarafalls.com/news/?p=204608 Kick streamer Trainwreckstv has shown the Nolimit City leaderboard on stream to back up his claim that Roshtein is lying about his profits.

Another rant

Trainwreckstv is not afraid to criticize his fellow gambling streamers, particularly when it comes to Roshtein.

Train, real name Tyler Niknam, has repeatedly called out Roshtein for gambling with fake money on his streams while lying to his followers and pretending he is risking his own cash. On a recent stream with Canadian content creator xQc, Train called out Roshtein again, but this time was different because of the evidence he had to back up his point.

both of his highest wins were on the leaderboard but Roshtein’s was missing

“Nolimit City does something that no other provider does,” Train explained to xQc. “They record their global wins on a global leaderboard.” He then asked xQc to pause his game and bring up that leaderboard. Once the streamer pulled it up, Train pointed out that both of his highest wins were on the leaderboard but Roshtein’s was missing.

Roshtein supposedly won $24m on-stream while playing Brute Force by Nolimit City just days ago. The gaming supplier’s leaderboard shows two wins of $20m and $7m won by Train on San Quentin 2: Death Row, but Roshtein’s win is nowhere to be seen.

Everyone takes shots

Referencing the leaderboard, Trainwreck said: “None of his wins are recorded, which means he has some sort of promotional account and all the providers that work with Stake are on some sort of promotional interface deal,” adding: “Certain individuals still deny they’re on fake balance.”

In a later part of the same stream, Train even took shots at Stake and Eddie Craven. Addressing the crypto casino and its owner he said: “We built you credibility and you have done well so far, but this kind of sh*t is disgusting and greedy. Why would you do that? It is gross.”

Notably, Trainwreck helped Stake develop its own streaming platform from the ground up after Twitch decided to ban unregulated casino content in October 2022. Now, Kick has signed countless major names and is competing with Twitch on its own turf. In addition to xQc, Train, and Roshtein, Xposed, Adin Ross, and Ninja have all made the switch to Kick.

A long-running feud

The conflict between Train and Roshtein, whose real name is Ishmael Schwartz, goes all the way back to 2022 when the Texan publicy ranted about Roshtein’s lack of transparency in regards to profits and losses.

just two out of 20 gambling sessions ending in a loss overall

On that occasion, Train drew attention to a table of Roshtein’s profits over the previous three weeks. He was up $32.5m since mid-January, with just two out of 20 gambling sessions ending in a loss overall. “Maybe privately behind the scenes he is spinning the slots for his bonus hunts and losing just as much as I am,” Niknam suggested.

Train has always asserted that he is completely honest about how much he loses to gambling, ensuring he warns his followers that gambling is a losing game even after bagging big wins. He once revealed that he lost as much as $25m in a single night of gambling, but he also earns a considerable amount through a partnership with Stake, once securing $360m over a 16-month contract.

Streamer xQc Rants That Pragmatic Play Games Are Rigged After $1.5m Losing Session https://www.mls-niagarafalls.com/news/2024/10/26/streamer-xqc-rants-that-pragmatic-play-games-are-rigged-after-1-5m-losing-session/ https://www.mls-niagarafalls.com/news/2024/10/26/streamer-xqc-rants-that-pragmatic-play-games-are-rigged-after-1-5m-losing-session/#respond Sat, 26 Oct 2024 07:00:00 +0000 https://www.mls-niagarafalls.com/news/?p=204331 xQc suffered a staggering $1.5m loss in a nine-hour stream which ended with him accusing developer Pragmatic Play's games of being “rigged.”

Popular streamer Felix “xQc” Longyel did not take kindly to a major downswing during a recent broadcast, reacting to a losing night with a rant where he accused Pragmatic Play of rigging their games.

xQC was streaming on the Kick platform, which is popular with gambling streamers since Twitch cracked down on betting channels. At the start of the broadcast, his account showed a balance of $1.52m, but after a brutal nine-hour run, the figure was reduced to just $123.10.

xQc turned off his camera and began an expletive-laden rant

As the stream was preparing to shut down, xQc turned off his camera and began an expletive-laden rant against Pragmatic Play, the developer of the casino games that had caused him to lose the $1.5m sum.

“Brother, brother, I’m not stupid. I’m not stupid. I called them out (Pragmatic Play) on their s**t, my account doesn’t hit anymore,” he said.

“I get it, I get it. You’re f***ing malding, because I called your games s**t and you’re butthurt about it and you turn my s**t off. You’re a f***ing loser. You’re a loser. Your games are s**t.”

The stream chat showed little sympathy for xQc, with most of the viewers finding the rant amusing or pitiful, either poking fun at his reaction or encouraging him to stop gambling.

Ignoring the chat, xQc concluded by stating that Pragmatic Play were losing their market share to other developers, saying: “Every games provider [is] coming out of nowhere… overtaking your customers because you’re s**t.”
