XQc has taken a surprisingly hard line against gambling, warning thousands of his viewers on Kick that they shouldn’t follow in his footsteps and play online slots or wagering games—even as he continues to host lengthy streams where he plays those same games.

“Don’t gamble, don’t be dumb… don’t do that,” the streamer said off-screen while his broadcast outro credits were rolling after his Sept. 12 stream. “Don’t put your money on any gambling devices or platforms, it’s dogshit. Because I do it… dont do it.”
