But the way Twitch says it leaves the door open for sites that are licensed to let people gamble. Online gambling is legal in the United States in Connecticut, Delaware, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The statement also says, “We will continue to let websites focus on sports betting, fantasy sports and poker.”
Twitch may be hesitant to go even further and completely ban gambling on its site because the Slots category has seen “a 66% increase year-on-year” and was watched for more than 50 million hours last month, according to a statement from StreamElements to GamesIndustry.biz. At the end of its information, Twitch said, “We’ll soon share details about the changes to our Gambling policy, including the full policy language, to ensure everyone understands our new rules before they go into effect on October 18.”
