Streamer Tyler “TrainwrecksTV” Niknam was known for gambling on Twitch. After his chosen casino was banned there, he made Kick his new streaming home. Now he has revealed how much he lost in one night of gambling – and he even seems proud of it.
On June 7, TrainwrecksTV addressed his biggest gambling night in a stream of his colleague Adin Ross. According to Trainwrecks, Adin Ross was wrongfully banned on Twitch.
Here you can see Twitch bans that caused a stir:
When asked what the largest amount was that he lost in a gambling night, TrainwrecksTV said:
On one day it was, I believe, 24.9 million US dollars. I understand that many haters or many, you know, insecure, spiteful, jealous streamers will think this is fake, but if they knew my deal.
There is not a single streamer, no one, not even MrBeast himself, who would have made the deal as transparently and authentically as I did. No one would do that.
There were no safety measures, it was gambling, it was authentic. […] That was “crazy shit.”

By “the deal” he apparently refers to a highly lucrative agreement with Stake, which Trainwreck disclosed in October 2022: the online casino was said to have paid him $750,000 a day, apparently he received the money to gamble in the casino in front of thousands of viewers on Twitch.
What does he mean by the MrBeast comparison? MrBeast is known for his extravagant projects and his actions for charitable causes. However, TrainwrecksTV openly talking about his gambling has little to do with this topic.
Trainwreck just wants to emphasize how transparent he is with his winnings and losses.
The video in which TrainwrecksTV comments on the enormous amount of money he has lost triggered numerous reactions on the popular LivestreamFail subreddit.
How does the community react? EbolaMan123 writes: “That’s more money than I will see in my entire life.”
Locke10815 comments: “More money than probably over 98% of people will see in their entire lives,” and jokes: “I’m really sorry for him. Is there a GoFundMe page (a page for fundraising) for him?”
Schmarsten1306 writes: “He’s just promoting Stake by depositing money into his own gambling account to advertise for Stake. What a fool.”
Stake is an online casino where various casino games are offered. The casino itself, the streamers who 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 examples of banned sites.
