The Twitch streamer Felix “xQc” Lengyel was upset about how his streamer colleague Matthew “Mizkif” Rinaudo talked about a casino deal worth 9.3 million euros. He said that Mizkif’s behavior was “absolutely disgusting.”
This is the situation:
- Mizkif talked in a past stream about receiving an offer from a casino website. They offered him 9.3 million euros (10 million USD) a year if he gambles for 15 hours a month in the casino and shows it live on Twitch.
- However, he declined the offer, although he was tempted to accept it. The money could have completely changed his life, the lives of future generations, and those of his family. He could have donated to charity, Mizkif said.
- The vast majority of Mizkif’s viewers encouraged him to accept the deal and called him stupid for not doing so.
- xQc calls his behavior “absolutely disgusting,” as Mizkif, according to xQc, had previously taken a high moral ground and thrown everyone else under the bus when it came to casino streams.
Twitch streamer xQc criticizes Mizkif
What else does xQc say? He finds it incredible that Mizkif is now the first one to talk again about casino streams and expresses himself so ambivalently. In the past, Mizkif spoke quite negatively about such deals and casino streams:
It’s almost like: The higher you go, the lower your moral values.

He was referring to the amount of offers from casino websites and how far one goes as a streamer to promote them and accept such offers.
xQc states that Mizkif had spoken from a high horse, was always against such casino streams, and indirectly attacked him and his fellow streamer Trainwreck, who also accepted sponsored casino deals in the past.
In this Twitch clip, you can hear xQc’s statement about Mizkif:
I’m pretty sure he threw everyone under the bus at the end of the whole casino drama – really everyone – and took the safe route. It looked like he was above everyone else and that we were a bunch of fools on the ground. He tried to point fingers at us and bring us down. Now he is the first one to backtrack. Damn, that’s absolutely disgusting.

xQc also criticizes the viewers: He doesn’t understand why most viewers are now on Mizkif’s side. The vast majority are in favor of the streamer accepting the deal, but for xQc himself and for Trainwreck, sponsored casino streams were frowned upon.
Even if the two do not make sponsored casino streams these days and just play for fun, even issuing warnings, they receive massive criticism.
Some in the chat speculated whether Mizkif talked about the deal to prepare his community for future casino streams – xQc agreed with the speculation in the chat. According to him, there is no reason to even bring up this topic. He doesn’t understand why Mizkif talked about the deal.
xQc believes that one should stay on the high horse when one throws one’s fellow streamers under the bus and not suddenly capitulate; that’s just “absolutely disgusting behavior.”
