Gambling rules & "Group" sessions
Hello community & staff.
I come with suggestion on updating the gambling rules on Twitch.
Currently (I speak from Finnish community), there are online casino streamers who use sites that support "group sessions". Meaning that viewers can join that session with real money, to play together with the streamer. This mechanic has been deployed fully by some finnish casino streamers as their main content and IMO it's extremely predatory.
This is how one of the products, called WeSpin.
"WHAT IS WESPIN?
Both playing & streaming your favourite online casino games just became more sociable and potentially a more rewarding experience.
That’s right! With Wespin the stakes are bigger, excitement is greater and the wins can be massive!
Simply explained: Your audience can now make a buy-in to your pot for them to be a part of your streaming experience."
Second one called Casinobud:
"The first online casino where you can play together! Join now. It takes less than a minute! Available sessions you can join right now!"
The streaming part is done via Twitch, not their own platform, as that does not gather the audience.
I suggest that these types of online casinos should be banned aswell. As this mechanic exploits possibly gambling addicted viewer & most likely creates new ones.
