Streamer Tyler “TrainwrecksTV” Niknam was known for gambling on Twitch. After the casino of his choice was banned there, he made Kick his new streaming home. Now he’s revealed how much he lost gambling in one night – and even looks proud of it.
On June 7th, TrainwrecksTV addressed his biggest night of gambling in a single night in a livestream from his colleague Adin Ross. Adin Ross was unfairly banned from Twitch, according to Trainwrecks.

When asked what was the largest sum he lost on a gambling night, TrainwrecksTV says:
In one day I think it was $24.9 million. I understand that a lot of haters or a lot of, you know, insecure, hateful, jealous streamers will think this is fake, but if they knew my deal.
There isn’t a single streamer, nobody, not even MrBeast himself who would have made the deal as transparent and authentic as I did. Nobody would do that.
There was no security, it was gambling, it was authentic. […] That was crazy shit.

With the deal, he apparently means a highly lucrative agreement with Stake that Trainwreck admitted in October 2022: The online casino is said to have paid him $750,000 a day, apparently he got the money so that he could perform in front of thousands of viewers on Twitch im Casino gambles.
How did he come up with the MrBeast comparison? MrBeast is known for his offbeat projects and charitable causes. However, the fact that TrainwrecksTV speaks openly about its gambling has little to do with the topic.
Trainwreck just wants to emphasize how transparent it is about its wins and losses.
The video, in which TrainwrecksTV commented on the massive amount of money it lost, drew a lot of reactions on the popular LivestreamFail subreddit.
How is the community reacting? EbolaMan123 writes, “That’s more money than I’ll see in my entire life.”
Locke10815 writes, “More money than probably over 98% of people will see in their lifetime,” and jokes, “I feel so sorry for him. Is there a GoFundMe page for him?”
Schmarsten1306 writes: “He only promotes Stake by depositing money into his own gambling account to promote Stake. Such a fool.”
Stake is an online casino that offers various casino games. The casino itself, the streamers that aggressively promote it, and the platform Kick associated with Stake are all viewed very critically from the outside.
At the same time, Stake was one of the platforms that Twitch explicitly named in September 2022 as an example of banned sites.
