Special platform launched for Twitch gambling streamers after ban

The online gaming review site and part of the Kafe Rocks Group,Time2play.com is welcoming gambling streamers after Twitch announced its ban on links and referral codes.

Tim Tepass, Time2play’s Chairman, said: "It is an understandable, and inevitable decision by Twitch. Gambling content should not sit alongside gaming streams that appeal to minors. We are offering a dedicated platform that will connect streamers with adult players, who want to be fully informed about online casinos and the games they offer."

Time2play will make it clear to viewers how streamers using its platform are funded. It will also ask streamers to sign and adhere to a code of conduct. Users will also be able to flag any content that they feel is in breach of this code.

Simon Pilkington, CEO of Kafe Rocks Group, commented: "There is clearly a desire for the content the gambling streamers produce. With audiences frequently numbering in the thousands for the most popular channels. What we want to do is to help ensure that it is shown in the right context and to the right people."

The live stream content will complement Time2play's offering of expert and user reviews of legal online casinos and sportsbooks. It combines those reviews with an aggregation of all available industry opinions to create the Time2play Playscore, a unique offering within the online gaming community.
