Time2play.com, the online gaming review site and part of the Malta-based Kafe Rocks Group, is throwing open its virtual doors to gambling streamers after Twitch banned links and referral codes to gambling sites as of August 17, 2021.
Last month, Twitch has updated its content creator policies in a bid to restrict gambling adverts and advertorials being broadcast on its live video streaming platform.
Tim Tepass, the chairman of Time2play, commented:
“It is an understandable, and inevitable, decision by Twitch”
“Gambling content should not sit alongside gaming streams that appeal to minors. We are offering a dedicated platform that will connect streamers with adult players, who want to be fully informed about online casinos and the games they offer.”
Simon Pilkington, CEO Kafe Rocks Group said:
“There is clearly a desire for the content the gambling streamers produce. With audiences frequently numbering in the thousands for the most popular channels. What we want to do is to help ensure that it is shown in the right context and to the right people.”
Time2play has announced that it will make it clear to viewers how streamers using its platform are funded. Streamers will also need to sign and adhere to a code of conduct. Users will also be able to report any content that they believe violates this code.
The live stream content will complement Time2play’s offering of expert and user reviews of legal online casinos and sportsbooks. It combines those reviews with an aggregation of all available industry opinions to create the Time2play Playscore, a unique offering within the online gaming community.
