During a recent livestream on Kick, Adin Ross confronted controversial streaming personality ItsSliker about his role in Twitch’s decision to impose restrictions on casino and slot games. For context, back in 2022, ItsSliker was embroiled in a gambling scandal where he reportedly scammed his community out of hundreds of thousands of dollars due to his gambling addiction.
The scandal prompted many prominent streamers on Twitch, like Pokimane and Mizkif, to call for a ban on casino games. Although the Amazon-owned platform did not completely ban the category, it did prohibit the "streaming of gambling sites that include slots, roulette, or dice games." This severely limited sponsored gambling streamers like Adin Ross.
Ross blamed ItsSliker for these restrictions during their interaction on his latest Kick broadcast:
"Sliker, put your f**king camera on right now bro. You're the reason that casinos got banned on Twitch, bro, aren't you? You didn't even lose it at Stake, you lost it at sports betting, bro."
ItsSliker responded:
"I know, bro. Listen, listen, listen. Adin you know I am a Jew."
Ross, who is also Jewish, claimed that his actions were making the whole community look bad:
"Ah! That's even worse, you're making us look bad!"
"You really want to go back on that sh** platform?": ItsSliker blasts Twitch and praises Kick while talking to Adin Ross

After Adin Ross' comment, ItsSliker opened up about his gambling addiction, saying it was very difficult to stop:
"You know, man it's just, I couldn't stop bro."
However, he quickly changed the topic and started blasting Twitch, claiming Ross was in a better place because he was streaming on Kick:
"Twitch is sh*t bro, I am not even lying. You were a f**king pu**y when you went back on that. Look at you now, there's freedom, bro."
Ross seemingly agreed, saying:
"Now that is true, I can really say whatever I want now, huh?"
ItsSliker then asked Ross if he still wanted to go back to Twitch:
"You really want to go back on that sh** platform bro?"
In response, Ross said he misses collaborating with his friends:
"My friends are over there man, I miss collabing with them and sh**."
ItsSliker did not seem pleased with this statement, saying:
"Adin, don't say that, they are not your friends."
Readers should note that Adin Ross has been talking about getting his Twitch ban lifted for a while now. Despite his affinity towards Kick, he explained that he wants to be able to stream on the platform so that he could go live with personalities like Kai Cenat.
