The Top Kick Gambling Streamers in 2026

Streaming numbers tracked in January by Stream Hatchet have revealed the 10 most popular Kick gambling streamers in 2026. The results show a clear top three on the platform, with first to third places occupied by Trainwreckstv, Classybeef, and ROSHTEIN.

Stake emerged as a clear winner from these numbers, with every single one of the streamers in the top 10 playing on the platform.

Trainwreckstv took home first place with 15.6M hours watched in January. Although he keeps an irregular schedule, he hosts incredibly long broadcasts.

But the number one gambling streamer on Kick is probably not much of a surprise when you consider his background. He is one of the co-founders and a primary advisor for Kick. The platform was launched in late 2022, just months after Twitch implemented its strict ban on unregulated gambling streams, leading Stake’s founders and Trainwreckstv to create an alternative platform.

Trainwreckstv is heavily partnered with Stake and plays exclusively on their site. In terms of games, he focuses on high-volatility slots, like Zeus vs Hades, and mini-games like Plinko.

The streaming collective Classybeef took second place with 13.9M hours watched. They are also partnered with and stream exclusively on Stake. The roster (which includes members like Espen, Joe, Nando, and others) has a distinct advantage because they can tag-team the broadcast. They have built a loyal following by adhering to a strict, well-planned shift schedule, so viewers always know they will be live when tuning in.

ROSHTEIN took third place with a total of 12.6M hours watched. ROSHTEIN has been part of the Stake family since early 2021, frequently appearing on streams with Stake royalty like Drake. He streams almost daily and often goes for very long hours when he does.

AdinRoss, who sits in position 6 for hours, boasts 1.9M followers. That is 900k more than second place in terms of followers (xQc with 1M). So while he has not pulled in the raw hours watched by Trainwreckstv and company, his viewership potential for single streams is bigger than the rest.

Stake dominates the market

Stream Hatchet also tracked gambling sites by title mentions. The top site was Stake by a landslide: 60% of the streaming titles Stream Hatchet tracked mentioned Stake compared to all other gambling platforms combined.

This will not surprise anyone. Kick was heavily backed by Stake co-founders Ed Craven and Bijan Tehrani following Twitch’s ban on gambling streams. Stake is the biggest crypto gambling site in the world and has been for several years. This level of dominance over all other brands shows their home-field advantage and how committed they are to the streaming game.

Brands by title mention

Alongside the most popular streamers, StreamHatchet also tracked the gambling sites by title mention on Kick on January 2026.

1. Stake: 6.6k
2. 1XBet: 1.8k
3. Betano: 837
4. Winamax: 653
5. FanDuel: 597
6. Poker Stars: 270
7. Bet365: 214

Stake has more title mentions than positions 2 through 7 combined. Of the streamers in the top 10 list, 8 are partnered with Stake.

The two outliers are AdinRoss and Evelone252.

AdinRoss streams on Rainbet, although until recently he was a Stake partner. This switch actually caused some friction and resulted in a temporary ban from Kick during his first Rainbet broadcast.

Evelone252 is a Russian streamer and is partnered with the CIS-region focused 1win.

Stake has built a highly effective ecosystem to corner the crypto gambling entertainment business by hosting streamers on their own service to promote their casino. Together with regulatory expansion in places like Denmark and continued big-name sporting sponsorships, it is hard to see how any other crypto gambling site will knock Stake off its throne. Long live Stake, and long live King Trainwreckstv.

Viewbotting accusations

Trainwreckstv recently came out accusing other players of viewbotting to increase their affiliate deals. In a now deleted post on X.com responding to the Kick streamer Wittlebears, he warned that it is easy to track the deception.

“There’s excessive viewbotting, like 85 percent of their viewership is botted. They are exposing themselves,” he stated. “When you push affiliates and you viewbot to increase affiliates and reach, you understand those two things can be compared. Gamblers, you are already generating 6 to 10 times the revenue you would at your respective view count. Your lives have already been changed. Why are you getting so greedy that you’re doing it the darkest way possible.”

Trainwrecks is making the point that while a streamer can easily exaggerate their viewer count, the sites sponsoring the stream will always see the real data. Platforms like Stake or BC.Game track the actual number of depositing players brought in, making it obvious who is generating genuine traffic and who is faking it.

Big wins for big-name streamers

A recent Bloomberg Businessweek investigation analyzed over 500 hours of gameplay on Stake and found significant discrepancies in the win rates of its celebrity and streamer endorsers.

The data revealed that high-profile streamers like Drake and Adin Ross hit major jackpots four times more often than average players when playing games developed by Stake. Interestingly, their win rates dropped back to normal statistical averages when playing third-party slot games. 

Stake has forcefully denied the report’s conclusions and called the methodology flawed, but the findings add to the growing scrutiny over whether the spectacular, highly publicized wins broadcasted to millions of viewers are authentic.
