Twitch is a livestreaming website, where hundreds of thousands of users login and watch others play video games for hours on end. One of the newest additions to the community are people playing casino games and promoting the casino they are playing to their viewers
The UK Gambling Commission is in talks with Twitch after a Eurogamer investigation took place and found a couple of unlicensed sites being promoted through the streaming giant. The Gaming Commission refused to name the two casinos to prevent them gaining further exposure and continued to say "When illegal gambling websites are brought to our attention we take a number of proportionate steps to protect consumers in Britain."
UKGC are currently working with Twitch to form a system to prevent unlicensed casinos from being advertised on the streaming platform.

However the Sky CEO has spoken out, commenting on the need for stronger regulation online. It's quoted that just 15% of gambling operators marketing budget is used on TV promotion, with up to 80% being used for online marketing campaigns. Sky has warned that the 15% will now be redirected into the online marketing budget - resulting in an even bigger campaign through social media and the rest of the internet where adverts are less regulated
Van Rooyan, Sky sad that if companies were "serious about protecting vulnerable gamblers" they need to focus their efforts towards regulating online marketing which "has the least level of regulation and where there is the most evidence of harm."
A spokesperson for the UK Advertising Standard Authority (ASA) denied van Rooyan's claims that online ads are less regulated, by ensuring that digital ads are "subject to the same strict regulations as broadcast advertising."
