xQc sets record with $3bn gambled on Stake.com

Popular video game streamer turned an avid gambler, xQc, has let fans take a look into his honest-to-God gambling activity, which has been the subject of much speculation over the years.

xQc wagers eye-watering amounts over his gambling career

In a stream on Monday, the influential Internet personality said that his gambling on renowned global cryptocurrency gaming platform, Stake.com, has reached $3bn, an impressive figure.

xQc was not shy about showing his stats either with the player showing that he had wagered $2,954,739,443.22 as his total amount across 1,138,753 total bets, clocking in 112,015 wins and 1,011,365 losses.

The stats were pulled directly from his account as he did viewers the courtesy of using Stake.com’s own tracking platform to show the stats. This amount has been a significant uptick from the previously reported amount by the gambler.

Back in September 2023, xQc said that he had wagered $1.5bn with Stake.com, but this amount has now doubled in the space of only 12 months. xQc previously ran into some trouble with Twitch, the Amazon-owned platform that Kick was reportedly trying to buy.

Stake.com is possibly the most prolific gambling platform

Because of changes to the platform’s policy, xQc moved onto another platform, Kick, which was set up by fellow gambling streamer, Trainwreckstv, and with ample backing from Stake.com’s founders and owners Bijan Tehrani and Ed Craven.

Kick has decided to do things differently from Twitch and has allowed consumers to decide if they want to see gambling content rather than applying blanket bans for certain types of content. Twitch has played catch-up in navigating its own new rules to strengthen its own handling of the streaming platform.

Although gambling businesses are certainly generating astronomical figures, especially in the online casino sector, Stake.com might be one of the few platforms where players are staking billions worth of cash per account.

Some Twitter users have criticized the numbers, and although they have no doubt that the screenshots shared online are genuine, they argued that xQc is most likely a partner with Kick and Stake.com and the money that he had spent is not "his." No evidence has surfaced to bear out this claim.
