Why is Trymacs the “King of the Cash Shop”? Even before his injury, Trymacs was known to spend a lot in games. Be it in FIFA 21 or in the unboxing of Pokemon cards, Trymacs poured several thousand euros into his streams.
This tradition is currently being fully continued in mobile games.
Trymacs spends such large sums in the games that he enjoys enormous in-game advantages without much playing time and effort. At times, he simply bought his way into the rankings of the games.

Players apparently love it when a YouTuber “reincashes”
How does the community react? Although Trymacs has faced criticism for some of his actions, the current content seems to resonate well with his viewers.
In the comments of his latest video, several users praised how much the community is engaged in Trymacs’s videos. Some comments also speak against his video concepts and criticize the streamer (via youtube.de).
This is also a trend known from the USA: There, Twitch streamers are popular who gamble extremely high amounts in casinos, known as “high rollers”. Streamers like Asmongold or Quin69 have achieved the highest viewership on Diablo Immortal by pouring insane amounts of money into the cash shop of Diablo Immortal to show how ridiculous the system actually is.
Large Twitch streamers like Trymacs earn so much money that they can spend four-figure sums on their videos. How much a “normal” streamer earns on the platform, you can read here.
