xQc has questioned Ricegum’s statement about having to gamble on Kick if he had joined the Stake-backed platform instead of joining Rumble.
Speculations have surfaced that the Stake-backed platform has been actively pursuing other streamers, including Ricegum, who claims to have received an offer from them. According to Rice, he turned the offer down as it would require him to gamble in order to maximize his income from Kick.
This statement was shocking for xQc given he was lured by a big money contract from Kick but his agreement does not require him to gamble to get all the economic benefits.
“It was probably him who brought it up like ‘Oh yeah this amount, what if I gamba this’ and they said ‘If you want to gamba then it’s this amount if they want to lump it together’ and then he’s probably got mad that the amount wasn’t enough. That’s just how it is! This is nothing new, holy f*ck.” said xQc during his stream.
It’s hard to figure out the specifics of the deal offered to Ricegum by Kick but given the fact that they are backed by an organization deep-rooted in the gambling sector, this couldn’t be outside the realms of possibility.
Do note that Kick CEO Ed Craven recently announced that they will not highlight Gambling streams instead they will treat them just like other streams. With Kick enforcing neutrality across their platform, it is hard to guess why they would have offered Ricegum such a deal.
