Tyler got together with fellow Twitch streamers Georgie "Pokelawls" and Mendo to play Overwatch 2. At the 01:47-minute mark of Pokelawl's October 19 broadcast, Trainwreckstv decided to reveal how much money he has made by hosting gambling-affiliated streams. He said:

"You want some news to forget about everything you're talking about? Here you go. I'll release what I got paid since the beginning of my contract. I've been paid $360 million for 16 months of gambling. There you go. There's the information that'll get you off of topic of hating Poke."

Roughly 10 minutes later, Tyler claimed that he had given away more than $70 million off and on stream:

"You want to know what's crazy? Of that $360 million, I've given away, off-stream and on-stream, like, close to $70 million. $75 million. You think about that!"

The 31-year-old content creator added that even billionaires don't give away that kind of money. The discussion continued with him saying that he wanted to reach the $100 million mark of giveaway money:

"I'm trying to go for that $100 million mark. F**k, yeah, baby!"
