They are coming out against advertising gambling from countries with lax consumer protection laws. If you play slots on a US-based slot machine, you're free to stream. They previously banned posting links to these sites with affiliate codes, but they can't police the streamer's Discord or other channels where these are shared. Since they don't want viewers using affiliate links and codes for these non-US-based gambling sites, they are low on options here.
