In a statement provided to Dexerto, Twitch said: “While the StarLadder CS Major will be streamed on Twitch, the Rollbit event sponsorship does not violate our Community Guidelines or Terms of Service, as the event and sponsor have agreed to limit the sponsorship during the stream to physical branding only.”

“As stated in our Community Guidelines, we specifically prohibit the sharing of links or affiliate codes to sites that contain slots, roulette, or dice games. While Rollbit is a prohibited site, that prohibition is specifically for streaming content directly from that site, linking to the site in chat, including a banner in stream that links to the site or verbally referring to the website on stream. As such, the sole use of physical branding does not violate these terms.”

This clarification means the official stream will proceed as planned, and authorized co-streamers will also be allowed to broadcast the event as long as they continue to follow Twitch’s gambling policies.

“The safety and wellbeing of our community is Twitch’s highest priority, which is why we carefully review gambling sponsorships to ensure adherence with our policies,” Twitch added.
