Kick is currently growing as a platform and has signed multiple online celebrities to work alongside. As of now, Kick has successfully signed Felix “xQc” Lengyel and Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa to stream on the platform. Kick CEO also confirmed that they are trying to get DrDisRespect to partner up as well.

While everything looks good for Kick overall, stories about Kick promoting gambling are on the rise. One such allegation was seen during Asmongold’s stream recently, where he got one of such conspiracy story on his subreddit. One of Asmon’s viewers collected pieces of evidence from Kick and put it together to post on his subreddit.

According to the author of the post, Kick is allegedly reserving the third and fifth spots in the recommended section for stake streamers. He also accused the website is hardcoded to keep such streams on those slots. However, no technical evidence has been provided to prove this statement. Thus, the topic of such allegations is treated as only conspiracy at the moment.

Asmongold replies to this by saying, “There is a chance that could be the case” during his recent stream. He also said he won’t be moralizing on this topic as similar cases have happened with Amazon as well, he also added it could be a coincidence as well.

Asmongold also delivered a hot take about gambling by saying:

Is sports betting more popular than slots, because I think it is.

He believes that the problem exists on an even larger scale, which is why he said:

What are talking about here? Yeah, it’s whatever.

The steamer didn’t accuse the platform of promoting such mispractices as it was only an allegation. However, he made it clear that he doesn’t support gambling at all during this stream.
