Popular Twitch streamer Felix "xQc" Lengyel is known to dabble in gambling while livestreaming, and that content has returned to his channel to the delight of some and the chagrin of others. Responding to the ongoing criticism for the aforementioned Twitch gambling streams, xQc pointed to an occasion in which he turned down $1 million to play mobile games on stream.
During a Twitch livestream on May 19, xQc spoke candidly with his audience as he often does when the topic of gambling came up once again. His Twitch viewers aren't the first to criticize xQc and his return to gambling on Twitch, as fellow streamers Asmongold, Cr1tiKaL, Pokimane, and Myth have also voiced their concerns about the popular streamer returning to gambling content. Ignoring the controversy surrounding his gambling on Twitch, xQc stated that he turned down $1 million in the past because he didn't want to play mobile games.
Telling his Twitch audience that he enjoys gambling, xQc confirmed he's received lucrative offers of up to $1 million from mobile developers to play their games "for a certain amount of hours." This suggests that the mobile game offers came accompanied by terms that xQc was less comfortable with than his slot sponsorship deal. The popular Twitch streamer mainly turned these offers down because he doesn't like playing them and doesn't have fun with them, unlike when he's gambling which feels right to him.
According to the 2021 Twitch leaks that disclosed how much money many content creators are making, xQc has earned over $8 million since 2019, and the revenue continues to come in as he remains one of the most popular livestreamers. Regularly floating around the top of Twitch view and subscriber counts, xQc broke his viewership record during the early days of the Overwatch 2 PvP beta. His gambling streams still bring in over 60,000 viewers which contribute to xQc's growing numbers, but it also goes towards his revenue which is already increasing from the gambling sponsorship and any winnings.
In the past, xQc has told some people to "get a grip of" their own lives before trying to fix his, and he has also gone on the record before to state that he isn't a great role model. Having so much money to work with while slot gambling on Twitch, some xQc fans may see his losses as minuscule in comparison to their own gambling experiences. Although he didn't mention which mobile games have offered him upwards of $1 million, popular titles such as Raid: Shadow Legends and Genshin Impact have the significant economic capital to offer Twitch streamers that are as popular as xQc is.
