Banar him without returning the money

Cody “Clix” Conrad ranks 16 on the list of Twich streamers with more followersin whose Top 10 we find Spanish characters such as Ibai Llanos, Auronplay, Rubius and Thegrefg. While broadcastingLucaslev (LZL11) called Discord a 15 -year -old who had spent $ 35,000 on donations that month. The thing ended badly for the teenager: Baneado of his channel.

“It’s addictive.” While he was interrogated to questions about the reason for such high donations, Lucas said that this year he had earned $ 18,000 investing in shares.

When asked why, if he could need money for other things, Lucas said that for him it was like “spreading love”, and that Dopamina released when they said his name, recognizing that “it is addictive” to spend money. He told the streamer “that honestly I just wanted to get your attention to add me in Fortnite, that’s all.”

Rich parents, minor consequences. Lucas replied that his parents had a stable financial situation, (rich, in other words) and that he was going to stop spending on Twitch because a few days before Father learned of the expense he had done on the platform and “it was bothered.” As? Using his card, but that was in his father’s name, because he had no age to open it. Despite the father’s advice, Lucas continued donating Clix during the stream.

Hypocrisy. Clix spent the conversation giving good advice to Lucas, as the money should be kept for him and for more important things. At one point, it seemed that I was going to make a reimbursement of money, because he said he did not want to “encourage reimbursements, but”.

However, after asking the child to love him with sending more money, he said he was going to send it to him. There ended the call and threw him out of the channel. Of course, without returning the money. After that, he continued playing Fortnite, asking for subscriptions to older people.

Why it is important. The problem with donations comes from afar. We had more and more people addicted to donate on Twitch. Jen Herranz “opened the melon” stating that there were real people who had a problem, a kind of modern “ludopathy”, and came to ask people to stop giving him subs On the channel. After the broadcast of a Jordi Évole interview with Ibai, An anonymous mother counted that his son stole his father’s card (with financial problems) and spent 600 euros on subscriptions.

Ibai He came to talk about the subjectsaying “Subscribe to a channel only if you can afford it. ‘Do not spend money you need on any Twitch channel. If you are going to steal the card your father or your grandmother to donate, do not do it. Many times we have put in touch with the people who have given us many subscriptions to see if they were aware of what they had donated. If you are a millionaire, it seems good to me.

What does Twitch say. In his Guide for parents and educatorsthe company explains that children under 13 They can’t use Twitchand details measures to prevent problems and prevent children from accessing content not suitable for their age range.

They also mention “Donations” Common on the platform, but do not stop the problem of children who donate huge amounts of money, such as that of the child that donated $ 11,000 to kai dinnerTy Thousands of subs to Cazeah.

At the time, the company did updated its standards regarding betsbut it was not enough to stop the case of a young man who became addicted after seeing streams related
