Corinna Kopf accused Pokimane of promoting gambling just days after Poki requested Twitch to ban gambling streams on the website. Who is in the wrong here?
Not too long ago, Pokimane sent out a tweet calling on Twitch to ban gambling streams, something a lot of well-known streamers have made their money off of. Often these crypto gambling streams would be sponsored by the sites themselves, which could earn the streamers thousands of bucks without doing much of anything.
But it seems like Twitch has had enough, because recently they decided that gambling streams would be banned. Of course, it wasn't just Pokimane who spoke out against these streams, many others doing so, but it seems like Pokimane's tweet caught the attention of other content creators, and it sparked a fire.
Corinna Kopf Calls Out Pokimane
Corinna Kopf, known as pouty girl, decided to call out one of the biggest streamers on the platform, Pokimane, by tweeting out a picture of an old setup video by Pokimane. The tweet included two pictures, one of the video, another zoomed in on Pokimane's computer screen.
On the screen we're able to discern something which could be seen as a gambling game... or if I'm being very honest, some form of Candy Crush, but you can make your own decision on that one. Corinna Kopf speculated that this could be some form of gambling content, though.
Of course, Kopf didn't just tweet out the images, but she also added a comment, which is probably what set off the drama. "Probably should delete, promotes gambling @pokimanelol"

Pokimane Resonds to Gambling Allegations
Now, of course, we can't expect Pokimane to stay silent, right? Right. She fired back not even a day later at Corinna Kopf, going as far as to say that Kopf is now jobless since she cannot promote her "illegal crypto gambling websites" anymore on Twitch.
Wow, thank you for the amazing suggestion, Corinna. Now that you’ve lost your job promoting illegal crypto gambling websites, would you like to join my YouTube editing team? Is that what you’re asking here?
According to Pokimane, who later explained that it was a friend gambling in the clip instead of her, and that she herself was actually quite surprised to see them do so. But of course, as all good Twitter and Twitch drama, the story doesn't end here, because our girl Corinna has shot back once more!
can't say too much, she might get me banned off twitch https://t.co/04RLP3pKru

"She Might Get Me Banned Off Twitch" Corinna Kopf Counters
Yes, the story must go on with this one. We might have to update this article in the future, so make sure to stay up to date. Basically Kopf insinuates that if she tries to defend herself for her initial tweet Pokimane could use her connections to get her banned off the platform.
She has been quite outspoken on the gambling ban on Twitch and feels that "everyone is so soft nowadays. You are influenced to do so many things that are not good for you financially, physically, and mentally every day." With both parties on such opposite sides of the spectrum when it comes to gambling on Twitch, we could see more of this beef, right? So make sure to stay tuned, because this might be a long battle.
