A tearful confession from a popular Twitch streamer, who admitted to conning friends and followers out of hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay his gambling expenses, prompted calls for the site to crack down on users broadcasting live bets in online casinos. On Tuesday, the company responded to users, announcing a new prohibition on streaming any gambling site that features slots or roulette.
The ban is slated to take effect on October 18.

For professional streamers, the purchase of top-of-the-line hardware is an important business expense. A new tech company, Starforge Systems, is using its unique background to bring the streaming and computing worlds together.

According to a new report from Stream Hatchet, 99 of the top 100 streamers are men. The only woman to crack that ranking was Kaitlyn Siragusa, who has attracted 5.7 million Twitch followers with the seductive streams on her Amouranth channel. Stream Hatchet's findings confirm opinions that have been expressed by streamers of all genders. Earlier this year, popular creator Mizkif suggested that women have an easier time breaking out on Twitch, but they eventually run into a "glass ceiling" that limits the growth of their channels.
The male-dominated nature of the streaming industry's upper echelon is only becoming more pronounced. The June 2022 State of the Stream report, published by StreamElements, reveals that men are breaking...
