Trainwreckstv is certainly not afraid to speak his mind, even regarding his own boss. The Texan streamer has a deal with crypto casino Stake and its Founder Eddie Craven. He gambles exclusively on Stake on stream and has worked with the company to develop streaming platform Kick.
Why does Eddie like fake balances?”
However, Train openly discussed a controversial subject regarding Craven during his stream over the weekend. He was answering questions from his chat when the topic of fake balances was raised. One of Train’s followers asked: “Why does Eddie like fake balances?”
If you don’t know much about the world of gambling streaming, the idea of fake balances may be new to you. But essentially it refers to deals formed between streamers and casinos which allow content creators to gamble with fake money on stream so as not to risk any of their own capital.
In response to the question, Train said Eddie actually prefers the “raw money” deals because “nine times out of ten the casino get the free advertising and their money back.” However, he backtracked on that initial claim, stating: “I don’t know if I should say that actually because I don’t know. Maybe back in the day he did.”
It’s a controversial topic, with Train himself publicly criticising the practice repeatedly and calling out any of his peers he suspects of partaking in the deals. For instance, in March last year he called out Stake for complacency in what he deemed the “fu*king scam” of fake money deals.
