Twitch To Ban Unlicensed , Gambling Livestreams Following Backlash.
On Sept.
20, Twitch took to Twitter to issue a statement about updating its gambling policies.
The platform intends to ban certain crypto gambling sites from being streamed.
Gambling content on Twitch has been a big topic of discussion in the community, and something we've been actively reviewing since our last policy update in this area, Twitch, via Twitter.
While we prohibit sharing links or referral codes to all sites that include slots, roulette or dice games, we've seen some people circumvent those rules and expose our community to potential harm, Twitch, via Twitter.
So, we'll be making a policy update on October 18th to prohibit streaming of gambling sites that include slots, roulette or dice games that aren't licensed either in the U.S. or other jurisdictions that provide sufficient
consumer protection, Twitch, via Twitter.
The sites Twitch will ban from being streamed include Stake.com, Rollbit.com, Duelbits.com and Roobet.com.
.
Twitch also said it "may identify
others as we move forward.".
We will continue to allow websites that focus on sports betting, fantasy sports and poker, Twitch, via Twitter.
CNBC reports that the change in policy comes after some of Twitch's top streamers said they'd abandon the platform if Twitch didn't update its policy regarding gambling streams.

US Curbs Export , of More AI Chips to China.
On Oct. 17, the U.S. Department of Commerce said
it intends to prevent China from buying more of America's advanced AI chips in the coming weeks. .
The new rules are meant to close loopholes
that surfaced "after last year's restrictions on AI
chip exports went into effect," CNBC reports.
Those restrictions banned selling the Nvidia H100
but still allowed Chinese companies to purchase
slower versions of the processor, the H800 or A800.
Those slower versions will now be banned as well.
The updates are specifically designed
to control access to computing power,
which will significantly slow the PRC’s
development of next-generation
frontier model, , U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, via statement.
... and could be leveraged in ways that threaten the U.S. and our allies, especially because they could be used for military uses and modernization, U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, via statement.
U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo
said that only a small percentage of chip exports to China will be affected.
The fact is China, even after the update of this rule, will import hundreds of billions of dollars of semiconductors from the United States, U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, via statement.
The new rules will go into effect after
being on public notice for 30 days.
