The biggest Twitch streamer in the world, Félix “xQc” Lengyel, shares in a live conversation about gambling how much money he lost in a month. MeinMMO reveals how high the streamer’s loss was and how his conversation partner reacted – and his father.
Why did his father scold him? The two Twitch streamers Pokimane and xQc talked during the first episode of their new joint podcast about various topics, including gambling.
In the conversation, xQc stated that he is addicted to gambling and revealed how much he lost to gambling last month. During a subsequent stream, xQc received a call from his father, in which he scolded him for gambling. His father had a worried tone in his voice.
The Reddit user u/SHAZBOT_VGS has transcribed the conversation. Below is the English translation of the conversation between the streamer and his father.
- xQc-Father: No, no, what do you mean, what’s wrong? Dexerto!
- xQc: Well, no, I lost some money yesterday, what about it?
- xQc-Father: ‘You are my little boy, no matter how damn old.’
- xQc: ‘Dad, Dad, stop reading clickbait articles. I lose money, sometimes that happens. What’s wrong?’
- xQc-Father: ‘Don’t treat me like this…’
- xQc: ‘I mean, Dad, come on, you know ehhhh…’
- xQc-Father: ‘Are you okay?’
- xQc: ‘Yes, of course I’m fine.’

How much money did the streamer lose? Pokimane asked xQc during the podcast if he would still enjoy gambling even if he wasn’t streaming. He answered affirmatively, stating that he lost 2 million last month and gambled every day.
Pokimane then pressed further and asked in an astonished tone: ‘Really?’. xQc confirmed the large amount and got even more specific. ‘I lost 1.85 million last month.’
With an amount of 1.85 million US dollars, that would be a loss of around 1,750,000 €.
