Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n A popular Twitch streamer<\/a> has defended himself and the online poker site he recently partnered with against claims they scammed people. Dennis \u201cPaymoneywubby<\/em>\u201d Richardson<\/strong> was criticized after accepting a sponsorship from what viewers have described as a \u201csketchy<\/em>\u201d online poker room. <\/p>\n The online poker site in question was Americas Cardroom<\/a><\/strong> (ACR) where Richardson recently hosted a freeroll poker tournament<\/a> which he also streamed on Twitch. The tournament, which attracted nearly 5,000 entries, was eventually stopped following a system crash. <\/p>\n All players who participated in the tournament got their money back, but some viewers couldn\u2019t help but lambast Richardson for partnering with an unregulated site and streaming online gambling on Twitch.<\/p>\n The tournament featured a guaranteed prize pool of $10,000. Viewers were allowed to join for free, with $2,000 up for grabs for those who could knock out Richardson. Players who were eliminated on their first attempt had the option to re-enter for either $2.20 or $4.40. <\/p>\n While streaming the game, Richardson clarified he was not getting any money for bringing new players<\/strong> to the site. He said he was only paid for doing the stream and that he also received $15,000 in real money to take part in the tournament<\/strong>. <\/p>\n The stream became the subject of negative remarks on Richardson\u2019s community subreddit, with some viewers putting into question his moral principles. One of the main concerns was Richardson\u2019s decision to stream gambling content on Twitch when the platform has already banned the practice since October. <\/p>\n Richardson considered that a valid concern though he said he views poker differently from slots or casino. He said he totally understands if some viewers aren\u2019t comfortable watching certain content, including gambling, and he wouldn\u2019t force them to watch. <\/p>\n\n
