Former Twitch streamer James ‘PhantomL0rd’ Vargas, who had been banned from the streaming platform back in 2016 for misleading his viewers regarding CSGO skin gambling, has reportedly won his lawsuit against the website. However, his demands for $35 million in damages weren’t quite met.
The lawsuit was launched by PhantomL0rd himself in 2019 against Twitch. In the lawsuit, he accused the platform of “unsubstantiated” and “false accusations” against him and banning him from it.
The lawsuit ended in PhantomL0rd winning on all counts and receiving a sum of $20,720.34 in damages from Twitch. Needless to say, the sum was significantly less than what he was looking for.
Vargas took it to Twitter to celebrate his victory against Twitch. “Twitch LOST EVERYTHING, including the fraud claim against me for the CSGOShuffle allegations,” he said in a post. “This is a win for ALL streamers! Twitch can’t bully, lie & treat streamers unfairly the way they have for years!”
Twitch hasn’t released a statement regarding the results of the lawsuit as of yet.
