What he said
I have received $20-plus million offers to do gambling sponsorships.— Asmongold, on stream, Oct 13
He recalled that around 2021 to 2022, “they were throwing tens of millions of dollars at people.” His reason for saying no: “I don’t like gambling,” and “Like, I’m already rich.”
How gambling sponsors pick streamers
Per Dexerto, Asmongold said gambling sponsors evaluate streamers by their “conversion rates,” meaning how well they can bring in bettors who lose money.Dexerto adds that you won’t find him playing slots or blackjack on stream.
Why “already rich” matters
He framed it as a personal choice: “Why would I do something that I don’t want to do?” He answered the “stupid not to take it” argument by saying he simply didn’t want to.
Not his first swipe
Asmongold has repeatedly criticized Twitch streamers who run gambling ads, even though those streamers don’t bet themselves, per Dexerto.
The Nadeshot context
Dexerto’s report also points to 100 Thieves founder Nadeshot, who has come under fire for his gambling streams on Roobet and for using an AI-generated video to promote them. On Oct 5, Nadeshot responded on stream, saying “I used an AI video which I still love,” and calling the reaction “incredibly dramatic.”

These are two separate remarks. Asmongold did not name Nadeshot in the comments Dexerto quoted.
What happens next
Gambling sponsorships remain one of the biggest dividing lines in streaming.
Dexerto describes it as a lightning-rod topic: streamers who have embraced gambling defend it fiercely and have made a home on Kick, while others want nothing to do with it. Asmongold, who streams on Kick, falls into the second camp, per Dexerto, though he has also said “Gambling is here, and it’s here to stay.”
Why the number is the story
Gambling sponsorships have become a defining money question in streaming. The figure is Asmongold’s own statement on stream, so treat it as his account. The more interesting part is the reasoning: he described gambling sponsors judging streamers by conversion rates.
