Kick does not allow gambling between users, or sweepstakes or lotteries. But the streaming of gambling games is allowed, depending on the laws and regulations of the country where the viewer is located. Gambling streams are particularly prevalent on Kick because they were banned on Twitch in 2022 after some of its biggest streamers threatened to stop using the platform if it didn&rsquot change its policy.
However, there have been certain Kick controversies and criticism around viewbotted gambling streams (when automated programs or bots are used to inflate the viewer numbers on a live stream). As a result, the platform has made an update in a bid to stop view count manipulation. [5]
