A streamer got upset over finding out that excerpts from her Twitch streams were overlayed with gambling advertisement when posted on X, a social media platform
Twitch has sent an unequivocal message to streamers several years back – decouple yourself from unlicensed gambling platforms or face bans. Adin Ross, a prominent streamer, and Trainwrecks, a highly controversial figure, were among the people to leave the Amazon-owned platform when it began cracking down on gambling content and streams.
Cinna Vituperates Against X’s Gambling Ads
Adin Ross was banned, although rumor is, that Twitch is negotiating his return. Now, though, another popular streamer who has no ties with any form of gambling whatsoever – Cinna – has vituperated against social media X, which has, according to her, allowed gambling brands to overlay her clip excerpts shared on the social media with their logos.
This is not to say that X is collecting any revenue from the gambling companies that have rather gone rogue, misappropriating her content and suggesting that streamers, including Cinna, are endorsing their brands in the first place.
Cinna was infuriated over a video of her showing the logo of Rainbet, an online casino, and she stated that she was in touch with lawyers. Cinna was quite straightforward about her intentions:
“bro yeah im contacting my lawyers about these stake clips im done. This has nothing to do with the clip and is directly false narratives clipped out of context. Not to mention putting an illegal ad on my content.”

Cinna is Not the Only Streamer to Suffer
The unauthorized gambling ads featuring Cinna’s clips have been flagged by community members to X’s credit. The platform has allowed users to scrutinize content and flag inaccurate information, which is based on enough feedback from fellow users.
Yet, it’s not just Cinna who is suffering. Other famous streamers are also being targeted with companies trying to exploit their popularity for their gain.
X has not really been policing content on the platform, relying on community fact-checking and algorithms to automate the process of what content is worthy and worth seeing and what is not.
