Since its foundation, Kick has developed into the largest medium for gambling-related streams worldwide. Right from the start, a ‘Gamblers welcome’ sign was put up, so to speak. This quickly led to a questionable reputation: in particular, the fact that minors repeatedly come into contact with correspondingly sensitive content regularly leads to criticism.
