Asmongold explained he turned down over $20 million in gambling sponsorship offers because he dislikes gambling and is already rich.Summary
During an October 13, 2026 livestream, while reacting to backlash over 100 Thieves founder Matthew "Nadeshot" accepting a gambling sponsorship, streamer Asmongold revealed he rejected over $20 million in gambling sponsorship offers around 2021 and 2022. He said his reason was simple: "I don't like gambling," and he dismissed the idea that refusing such money was a bad business decision because he is already rich. He also criticized the economics of such deals, calling them "trickle-up economics" where the money ultimately comes from viewers' losses, and noted that gambling companies evaluate creators' viewership and conversion rates before offering deals. Additionally, he distinguished gambling from gacha games, arguing that gacha spending cannot be recovered by selling accounts for profit, while gambling involves "chasing losses," which he said destroys lives. His comments came amid criticism of Nadeshot's gambling sponsorship.
